SquareChaos Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) If the 'big news' is all that happens, talk about a book destined for the dollar bin. Can anyone - let alone does anyone - want a Spoiler married Batman? Talk about something that doesn't fit with the character archetype whatsoever.

Zacreth Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 But thinking in the long run. The last page asks the question. (Square chaos let the spoiler out...ahem) But issue 25 goes straight into the joker/riddler storyline so there's no answer. Then you get an answer to the question after revealing of some "secret". So let's say there's a short story arc about being happy and all and it all comes to end and he hates the world and setup for the watchmen tie-in to the DC universe.

Bird Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 HA! Jokes on me I guess. I buy some books for spec and dropped All Star (a dud on the market so far) and ordered Batman 25-32 or whenever that storyline ends. So I missed out! I'll get one someday!

punksdropdirtysrh Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Just finished it. Enjoyed the artwork...the writing...meh. A few of these issues seem like they keep saying the same thing over and over. I bet she turns him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drotto Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 My LCS said he was given no warning that the issue was going to be hot, otherwise he would have upped his order. He said the first customer of they day took four, and then the phone calls started. Being very good to loyal customers he actually pulled all the books from the rack and is saving them for the regulars. Not sure if he is limiting the number you can buy. Very nice this for him to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I know Brave and the Bold #197 isn't modern but it seems people noticed the high end 9.8 on ebay. Any other books you guys think might see movement based on this issue ? #197 CGC 9.8 this sold today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Brave and the Bold #197 is a great story, written by Alan Brennert... terrific writer. He did a number of sporadic "Elseworlds"-type stories with Batman through the 80s and early 90s, including Detective #500, B&B #197, and Batman: Holy Terror (anyone else remember that one?). I really liked everything I read by him. the authority 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice this for him to do that. When I went to my LCS earlier there were about 20 copies of cover A and 4 copies of cover B left on the shelf. I don't normally like the Tim Sale covers but grabbed it in addition to the regular for this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacreth Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 So what if the setup is that they get married, Batman changes from the dark character he is known to be, and god forbid DC kills Catwoman by anyone and Batman goes all rage? But what about the Dark Days storyline... is that completely separate from this story since we're going into the joker/riddler story arc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolverineX Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Yeah, I think I like the original cover more... are theses still selling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
