Apparently some people really like Grayson in becoming Batman because he's tied with both Kyle and Bart. I don't think Grayson makes a terrible Batman, he's been written badly as Batman but he could honestly be a lot worse, if anyone had to take the mantle I'd rather have it be Grayson than no Batman at all. Those are my thoughts on that.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-36123895692696365452010-04-19T19:44:40.716-04:002010-04-19T19:44:40.716-04:00I have one more thing to say, about the new poll. ...I have one more thing to say, about the new poll. There is no other answer besides Bart Allen. I can understand picking Kyle Rayner, but please no one pick Dick Grayson. Bart Allen would make a good Flash, Rayner would make a good Green Lantern, but Dick Grayson makes a terrible Batman, Bruce Wayne is Batman. So please in the good name of comics, don't pick Dick Grayson in the poll, please!Jozeph Duköhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324022702727436945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-75947967547211386862010-04-18T17:14:37.361-04:002010-04-18T17:14:37.361-04:00Lol not really, I just grabbed people that'd t...Lol not really, I just grabbed people that'd taken on someone else's name, and left out Wally because he'd already been Flash for like 25 years :P<br /><br />Yeah, as of now there's been no point to sending Bruce back in time. You know if he was around he would've had a big roll in Blackest Night. I could even see him reverting and being afraid to attack his parents if they returned. As of now him disappearing hasn't really shown anything other than giving Tim a new persona, driving Jason crazy, showing Dick can't handle being Batman in his own mind and making Damian Robin.<br /><br />Lol I feel you on that, I think I give out too many 8's myself...<br /><br />It just doesn't make sense that she can't. Bruce is richer than hell. He's paid for Harvey to get his face fixed like twice, he's had numerous Bat-Planes and stuff, Damian has a NEW SPINE, yet no one cares about Babs enough to help her walk again?<br /><br />And yeah I heard about Batwoman, now I can read Detective comics again without having to see anything by Greg Rucka, who I despise.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-58974608699202064022010-04-18T05:18:27.881-04:002010-04-18T05:18:27.881-04:00No you don't, cause your opinion is biased cau...No you don't, cause your opinion is biased cause you chose who we could vote for ;)<br /><br />It just seems silly and makes me wonder why they bothered with this storyline in the first place, UNLESS Bruce doesn't take back the mantle…<br /><br />Numbers don't mean a huge amount to me when I'm giving them, cause I'm very fluid about what I think of the things. Did I enjoy it? Yep. Any glaring problems? Nope. It's good then…<br /><br />I really don't see why Babs should walk again - instead of toying with various ways of having her walk again, she could very well make the better decision and say that she's happy like this, and doesn't need to change. Or maybe that's me…<br />FYI - Batwoman got her own title announced a couple of days ago, so that ain't happening :P<br />She could just still be Oracle thoughNagashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317832910354675201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-36531373875565287552010-04-17T23:48:04.460-04:002010-04-17T23:48:04.460-04:00Lmao @ PG-13 rating.

I may start that pretty soon.<br /><br />Sweet, is there anything in front of those on your list to read or should I respect those reviews relatively soon? <br /><br />Couldn't have put it better myself. I think if Wally just came back instead of Barry, or if Barry just came back and Wally hadn't, and Bart had been Flash up until this time he would've won people over. What happened to Bart is exactly like what happened to Jason. He wasn't accepted due to his predecessor, luckily It didnt take like 20 years to bring back Bart.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-87592686306456555942010-04-17T23:41:13.120-04:002010-04-17T23:41:13.120-04:00First off, let me be the first(I think...)to say t...First off, let me be the first(I think...)to say that I will be waiting anxiously for the What I learned from the Cry for Justice mini, because I learned a few things from that mini too, but I'd rather keep this comment PG-13 rated, so I'll keep 'em to myself! <br /><br />For the most part this looks like a pretty good pull, JT(except for GA! I can't wait to read that now!), with a few 10's, so I'm looking forward to my comic shipment(which should be Monday with any luck.<br /><br />As possibly THE biggest Bart Allen fan alive(I've even read the whole Impulse series as well as his Teen Titans and Flash stuff), I feel the need to step in for poor Bart... First off, I naturally voted for Bart on the new poll, mainly because he's my favorite out of all of those characters. I think most of the hatred for Bart is coming from the fans of Wally West, and to be honest, that's not really fair to Bart. This is all because Bart replaced Wally after Infinite Crisis, which was really unnecessary, especially since Bart was NOWHERE ready to take up the Flash mantle. Huh, I guess Geoff Johns has always had it out for Wally... With that said, the writer(s) of Fastest Man Alive did as best as they could with what I'd guess was A LOT of fan outrage, and seemingly little support from DC. Like JT, when I read Fastest Man Alive, it was after the fact, and Wally was once again the Flash, so I can't really say what it was like reading it monthly, but reading the whole thing in a sitting or two wasn't that bad at all, and like JT said, the series was definitely better then I think many people believe. To me, the hate for Fastest Man Alive and Bart is coming from the pro-Wally contingent of fans, not necessarily the fans of the Flash franchise. Wally didn't get to go out in a blaze of glory(like Barry), or anything like that, he just left, and Bart, who was barely even Kid Flash at the time was suddenly rushed to adulthood in order to fill Wally's boots. If that isn't a recipe for disaster, I don't know what is!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-35316129083651363642010-04-17T23:32:59.154-04:002010-04-17T23:32:59.154-04:00Thanks Marc.

I realized that I'd definitely want Bruce back as Batman and I'd miss Ollie and Hal more than I'd miss Barry so I changed my pick to Bart for anyone who's curious.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-21624178926984208332010-04-17T22:34:23.722-04:002010-04-17T22:34:23.722-04:00Here's the link:

He basically talks about how he wrote the book and what it was like to interview all the people that he did. Somewhere in there he mentions the stuff about Bart, though I can't remember where.

I've never read it, so that wasn't a value judgment on my part, it's just that this is the first place I've ever heard anything really positive about Bart and that series.<br /><br />I even listened to an interview recently with the author of The Flash Companion, who interviewed pretty much every living comics creator who's worked on the Flash...with the exception of the ones who worked on Bart, because they didn't want to talk about the horrible experience they'd had.

And you're not the only one wishing for joker and batgirl to run into each other. <br /><br />I wonder if it would be too much to want Barbara to be batwoman and Stephanie be batgirl as She is and them two team up.

I guess part of it would have to do with the post-Crisis explanation for his original death/disappearance, and I'm not entirely sure what that is. (In other words, Barry died to end the "crisis" of Crisis on Infinite Earths, but since no one remembers CoIE, they must remember Barry having died doing something else, and I don't know what that is.)<br /><br />And don't forget, the name of the event is "The Return of Bruce Wayne," not "The Return of Batman." Maybe they'll pull a Captain America and Bruce will take on a slightly different role when he comes back while Dick keeps on being Batman.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-15781080080945036172010-04-17T19:24:48.831-04:002010-04-17T19:24:48.831-04:00Lol I count even MORE cause it's my blog :P
