Batman & Robin was a disappointment but not really due to the writing. My big issue was with the art, and the depiction of Jason Todd particularly. A combination of making him a redhead, dressing him in a silly new costume, eliminating his trademark white shock of hair, and Philip Tan’s apparent inability to draw distinguishing facial features, it was like looking at and reading about a character I had never seen before.

And it seemed like there was a disconnect between the writing and the art. It’s like Grant Morrison said ‘draw this’ but he said it in a language Tan couldn’t understand so he just made his best guess.

I did like the Scarlett thing though.

What, Nate Grey is back? That’s awesome! He’s basically Cable but without the emotional baggage of being created by Rob Liefield.

Stiff is definitely the right word for the Batman/Doc Savage Special artwork- it was a fun read, but essentially a retelling of when Superman and Batman first teamed up post crisis (“I don’t agree with your methods, but you’ve sort of convinced me that in Gotham you’ve got no choice”)

I assume it’s called Punisher Max because he uses a hat to go to different realities, you know, like Mighty Max.

No Miles, magic is exactly that. A piano teacher. Ancient One: “You didn’t practice you’re magic this week, did you Stephen?” Dr. Strange hangs his head in shame: “N-no”
