    Sal: "So then RUSSIA attacks the AUSTRIANS..."
    Ethan: "But why? What did that assassination have to do with Russia?"
    Sal: "Because shut up! It just does!"
    Ben: "Ah-ha! But the joke's on them because Germany's African colonies are still there!"
    Sal: "Maybe. I don't know because I don't read tie-ins."

    I owe so much to this event. I met Scott Snyder at the midnight launch for METAL #6. There, I asked Snyder how to break into the industry and write compelling stories. He told me to write stories that I want to tell. I will never forget that advice. It now applies to everything I do.
    PS: Scott came to Fourth World Comics with a cake with the cover of Metal #6 (the one with the Joker dragon) on it in excruciating detail. We each got a slice.

      Batfreeze I’ve met Scott and Greg twice. Literally the nicest and most humble creative duo in comics today. And both are always excited to be working in the Industry and so excited to meet fans.
      My brother, an artist, once asked Greg that same question and Greg encouraged him to look into a career as a “commercial artist” instead of focusing strictly on comics because it will allow him to hone his craft while also making an income while simultaneously making efforts to land a gig in comics. My brother was so inspired by the advice.

    I like the Batman, Joker vs BWL fight because to me anyway it’s to show that BWL isn’t a fusion of Batman and joker but is just a crazy Bruce Wayne, and even as a crazy Bruce Wayne he can’t copy the Joker. Like Joker cuts the dude’s fingers off and BWL freaks out about it, but then the whole thing was ruined because he has been shoved into every story since where he not only somehow has hands but is also the Ultra plot armor cliche “because I’m Batman” Batman except evil and cosmic and I hate it.

    Completely underrated Hawkmans character!! Recent run is awesome!!! He reincarnates due to the lives he took!! So he’s cursed until he’s saved as many lives as he’s killed! Such a good read!!

    Barbatos was in the Return of Bruce Wayne (Batman’s adventures in time after Final Crisis). Morrison retconned that he was a weapon known as the Hyper-Adapter

      @397 Llederson So they attempted to summon Barbatos, but got the Hyper-Adapter instead. Then in Dark Nights: Metal the real Barbatos appears?

    I read this book all together as a trade when that came out, and Sal's right, while you're reading the story it's actually really entertaining
    but man, do I wish they'd delved into the Dark Multiverse stuff more. I like the idea of a "story garbage pile" where all of the extreme timelines of the multiverse end up to be destroyed, and to a lesser extent the Batmen tie-ins (where they give the origin stories of the evil Batmen) kinda gave a window into that but also don't do much more with it

    Honestly that must be so frustrating for writers who want to help expand their books’ continuity. Like, “Hey I set this cool idea up for you all to run with. Have fun! Oh you don’t want to have fun. ‘Aight then cool. My bad.”
