Thanks for making this, JesterBelle! Glad you were happy being that you're such a Harley fan! Was excited after your hype post, and now post-hype, glad to hear you liked a new comic so much! You convinced me. And I'm a Heath Ledger Joker skeptical son of a monkey's bum! Marc Silvestri's art looks good from what you showed. And, appreciate you explaining how it took over 10 years development being a project of a bygone era because, at first, I was starting to turn to Lllyod Christmas getting really optimistic with a "So you're saying there's a chance?" I don't know if I would have read this comic if it wasn't for this video because I despised Batman during Rebirth. It was a fed up culmination of the nihilistic Brian Azarello Broken City, Scott Snyder Dr. Frankenstein Iron Man brutish New 52 Batman, Zack Snyder's BvS, Tom King mopey Batman where I was just jaded with the character where if I don't just consider the original Bob Kane and Bill Finger writing for Batman to be the true foundation of the characterization and every creative team after that is a unique interpretation, I write Batman off as: A promiscuous, brutish, ungrateful, pity-partying spoiled brat Iron Man, Superman with his woe-is-me about his parents when he has Nightwing, Robins, Batgirls, Oracle, Leslie Thompkins, Lucius Fox, Alfred, Gordon, the entire Justice League, Outsiders....so many connections when I think there's so many people that would love to just have a single friend, and characterization-wise...what is his character? It's a fractured psyche with no dramatic immersion with the action because he has unlimited endurance, skill mastery, wealth which undercuts the relatively fantastical plausibility of the "World's Greatest Detective". I never finished Bill Finger's and Bob Kane's run (read and skimmed through around 100 issues from the beginning), so from my limited comic reading, it's why I consider Spider-man the greatest superhero because he had the strongest foundation with how he was developed into a three-dimensional character in Stan Lee's and Steve Ditko's original 1962 run where there's still great Batman writings, especially in the 80s with Frank Miller's, Gerry Conway's, and Marv Wolfman's work, and Steve Englehart's characterization, while his story work wasn't as good as those, imo, it's my favorite characterization, but it's so niche, and being that it's within the source comic medium, I think it's either consider the original creative team's work the definitive version or accept it all, and I'm not doing the latter! Batman the Animated Series helps retain Batman's respectability for me since I think that gave him a strong foundation in a different medium, tv, developing his psychology, and I think time has passed where I don't think it will be messed with in fans' minds, and I don't think it will be divisive among fans to say it's separate from even the Superman TAS/New Adventures of Batman/Static Shock/Justice League DCAU because it's so stylistically different where that's an alternative continuity, similar to how there might be fans who only consider the original trilogy to be the foundation for Star Wars, especially since there were 90s Batman Adventures comics in the style of that original tv foundation which even had a different appearing Superman than what was in the DCAU. Thanks again! I'm looking forward to reading how Nightwing is handled since he's my favorite superhero thanks to the foundation that was built in his original appearance in Marv Wolfman's 80s New Teen Titans comic run. Hope you have a wonderful week! And excited for the future!
Such a great series, and easily the best Batman content since at least the start of Rebirth. I expected the art to be good, but I didn't expect Silvestri to do such a great job with the writing. His pacing is excellent.
I cannot believe that this book was ten years in the making, what was happening behind the scenes to cause such a hold up? I’ll have to make a point to get a hold of this book because I really miss these characters being written in character. As for this being the last comic review on this channel - I get it. Modern comics are painful to read let alone sit down and discuss. Maybe some day we’ll get that big shake up and talent will return to the industry but I’m not really holding my breath.
The only DC comics in my opinion that worth reading are Batman and Joker The Deadly duo and batman superman worlds finest but overall I've checked out not to mention that the movies they are producing are subpar. So yeah, let's move on.
Actually there are very many other good comics. Basically any comic written by Jonathan Hickman, J. Michael Straczynski and Al Ewing amongst a few others.
Wow. The sheer ARROGANCE of disregarding an entire INDUSTRY just because YOU decided to read bad ones, all for the views. Maybe try reading good ones, yeah?
I haven't read any of them in months,I won't bother unless I hear there's a good one, probably between one and 3 books each year and I don't know when I will,I will use my little free time in watching movies why would read the nonsense DC is doing when I can watch killers of the flower moon, I'll take Scorsese over people like Tini Howard any day
I should clarify: this is the last video I'm doing talking about *modern* comics
but...but i JUST got here....
Oh, ok
Same here, I just discovered your channel.
I knew it! hahaha I'm glad!
Writers dont care about good stories anymore.
I don’t buy comics often, but I will be buying this one thanks to you.
I couldn’t believe how good the comic was! This should’ve been released before DC comic sales started to drop.
I wasn't aware that this comic was a ten year project. THAT MAKE SO MUCH SENSE!!😳
Modern comics. Burn it, burn it all to the ground and salt the earth - guess where this line is from?
Clockwork Orange?

If a modern comic eventually comes out that is actually really good/decent and honors the characters, would you read and review that?
You had me at Marc Silvestri. I was an Image fiend when all that beautiful art and terrible stories were all the rage.
Such a great series, and easily the best Batman content since at least the start of Rebirth. I expected the art to be good, but I didn't expect Silvestri to do such a great job with the writing. His pacing is excellent.

Jesterbell, you are da Bomb!
I loved Dynamic Duo! It was great. I have the whole series😍👏also, you look really pretty today and I love your shirt❤
Did Amanda Sims get a villain name? (Probably not since her omniscience makes her too OP to be a long-running villain.) "Bouquet" would be cool.
that batman show is the darkest batman.
The only DC comics in my opinion that worth reading are Batman and Joker The Deadly duo and batman superman worlds finest but overall I've checked out not to mention that the movies they are producing are subpar. So yeah, let's move on.
It's ... okay. Batman Dark Prince Charming was much better.
Check out Isom series. No political messages. Just superheroes superheroing.
Read it. Loved it. Great video.
Tune next week for classic comics corner
Actually there are very many other good comics.
Basically any comic written by Jonathan Hickman, J. Michael Straczynski and Al Ewing amongst a few others.
DC > Marvel
It's still on my list. To be honest I thought I'd have it by now.
Great series to end with👍
Please don’t make it the last one
Wow.
