I love yours videos. Run vs run are very cool

Nice! And glad to see it’s not just a bunch o’ McFarlane!!!!

Fantastic ❤

This is a great video I had to search and buy this figure mezco does a great job I got the spider Gwen and she is by far my favorite I really respect the craftsmanship of what mezco creates

Great collection man!

To me it's kind of hard to top the mezco Batman figure since that's technically the only Batman figure to actually look and operate like Batman, but to me personally even to toy companies three and four inch versions of Batman that come with vehicles and placeets are the definitive version of the character.

I PERSONALLY DISAGREE.. NO ALEX ROSS?? NOT THE COMBAT BELT ANIMATED SERIES BATMAN??? YOU NEED THE NECA BATMAN VS ALIENS BATMAN.. THE 4 PACK EXCLUSIVE ALEX ROSS WITH YELLOW OVAL SYMBOL ON CHEST DC DIRECT COMBAT BELT BATMAN KENNER NECA 1/4 SCALES ARE GOOD JLI BATMAN DC DIRECT KILLING JOKE DC DIRECT KNIGHTFALL DC DIRECT BATMAN INC DC DIRECT JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA DC DIRECT GIANTS OF DC DCUNIVERSE SUPER POWERS KENNER

You can fix the elbows of the mcfarlane hush batman with nail polish remover.

Nice collection. I have some of those Batman figures myself. Including the Hasbro Batman. They also made the Harbor in Blue with a removable cowl.

I enjoyed your list. You mentioned some artist that, I feel, don't get enough credit. Particularly Sara Pichelli. But not to be pedantic, the very first image you used for Pichelli's entry is actually a cover drawn by equally underrated artist, Jimmy Cheung. Pichelli did provide the interior art, though.

The hinge is for a wire that could clip onto for him to zipline down a yellow clilp with a black string

Have you met nerds? We will hold grudges against creators for a LOOOOOOONG time if they mess up our favorite characters, I still haven't forgiven George Lucas for the Star Wars remasters and that happened before I was born.

Wait... People actually like Tom King's run?

1. Bernie Wrightson 2. Michael Golden 3. Marshall Rogers 4. Sam Kieth 5. Kelley Jones (poor man's Bernie Wrightson) 6. Walt Simonson 7. Jim Aparo 8. Shane Davis 9. Jim Starlin 10. Michael Turner

Johns Aquaman is superior in all ways. Abnett does not come even close. New52 Aquaman is the best Aquaman ever in history, before and afterwards. Only Jeff Parker came close. Before Johns, Aquaman was considered finished by DC, he had to fight to be given the book and was told it was a waste of time. His run served as the basis of a billion plus Box office, no other run in DC achieved that. If Aquaman is still around is owed to Johns run. Abnett started out well but soon the fun fizzled out with a boring, contradictory and full of rehash storylines. At the end Abnett leaves a book in a dead end and never even coming close to deliver the promise with which Rebirth Aquaman starts out. Abnett had very low sales. When his run ended the remaining readership saw it as a liberation. Only to find out that the new writer was even worse.

Correction. Todd MacFArlane didn’t create Spider-Man’s spaghetti webbing. Michael Golden did.

Lord, I absolutely despised Morrison's work when it was getting released... but I even dislike them more now. Detective Comics at the time was light years ahead of what Morrison was released as Dini was largely involved with those years. I can acknowledge what Morrison did... but it wasn't good.

I dont think pastels belong in a noir comic, and i dont think DD belongs anywhere but Hell's Kitchen. So i prefer Soule.

Mark Bagley is amazing! But too many ppl keep skipping other great artists for him. And it's always because of his Ultimate run. It's good, but his 90s run is better. With Romita Jr, it's a really cool style, but it just doesn't say Spiderman to me. Ryan Motley Humberto Ramos Scott Campbell Paolo Rivera Arthur Adams. These either get looked over or even hated. But I think they each bring something unique to the wall crawler !

Couldn’t make it past 1:40…the strange way of speaking was worse than the female upspeak/vocal fry internet posters use.

way way way better than keaton’s movies

I really don’t thing Tynion has topped his Detective comics run. I love all of his other work except his Batman run.

Personally, I dislike Jones' art, especially his Batman. The anatomy is way too distorted for my tastes. You can make Batman weird and creepy without stretching out his limbs to an inhuman degree. I do wish you had included Marshall Rogers, though. Not only is his version of the character sharp and distinctive, it was also a major influence on an artist who would break into the industry a few years later: Todd McFarlane.

Editorial wanted to market 50 as real wedding, Tom never wanted to. That was his biggest regret. Tom never wanted to kill Alfred for real, that was also editorial.

As far as the recall goes, Mattel offered mire rubberized wings for the car, you just had to request them from Mattel. Judging by the warping on yours, I'm guessing your parents did that.

Scott Snyder’s run was the first Batman run I ever truly read and understood as a younger adult. When Tom King came and took over it didn’t have the same flare that the previous run did. King had a lot to live up to so I don’t blame him. I’m excited to pick up Vol 1 of CZs new run

Two very different styles and deliveries. I'll say that I'm super pissed that while Green Arrow was getting not only some of the best comics he's ever had, and one of the best books DC was publishing at the time with Lemire and Sorrentino's run, everyone was far too invested in the other company's archer which had a stolen art style. Lemire basically Blackest Nighted Green Arrow in his run, doing a lot of backstory, filling in history, and massively expanding the world building with the various clans and totem weapons, not all of which were brand new (like Katana's Soultaker being the totem weapon of the sword clan). LOVED Sorrentino's work with partial black and white panels. We all know that encounter with Vertigo yielded some of the best art of the year! The one thing that really lacked in Lemire's run was that GA and Canary weren't a couple, but that's more so DC's fault, not Lemire's. Like Abnett on Aquaman, Percy was another peculiar case of a writer writing the character weak toward the end of the New 52 and giving us fantastic work with Rebirth onward. Rebirth not only lived up to the line title by bringing back together one of DC's greatest romantic couples, but it also brought back some of GA's politics (which I don't agree with), but it was also done in the right way and not at all like most of the industry's propaganda books. The storytelling was great, loved this new mega bank villain circle, the clash with Merlyn, and I was immediately won over with Otto Shmidt's art!

Now we're talking! Die hard Aquaman fan for life, and I think we can say that these two are inarguably the two greatest Aquaman runs ever! Never understood New 52 haters being that way when it gave us so much good, and probably no one gained more for it than Aquaman. Judging from pre New 52 to new #1 issue, Aquaman probably had the best. Johns did so much for him! Talking about the elephant in the room right in issue 1, making the first major crossover of the line Aquaman centric, finally giving Black Manta a decent origin story, making the best version of Ocean Master, writing the ultimate Aquaman story that's been adapted now twice! And this was also with god tier artist Ivan Reis, one of the best in the world giving us the definitive design. Pelletier also did great work. Thank God Abnett was allowed to carry over from the end of the New 52 (where Aquaman comics were pretty weak), because EVERYTHING that came after starting with Spindrift was just pure gold. Johns might have written a great Manta origin story, and gave us The Others (which I love to death), but it was Abnett who expanded Manta beyond simply being "that guy that Aquaman fights", and elevating him to an "alpha level threat". Also take into account the incredible expansion of Aquaman's rogues gallery from 2011 onward: the best Ocean Master (by far!), Chimera a.k.a. Creature King (who I'm dying to see again), Rath and the Abyssal Dark, the Aquamarines, Dead Water, the Dead King Atlan. I mean let's be honest, Queequeg and Iceberg Head weren't cutting it! lol The more complex use of Vulko in Throne of Atlantis, and the use of King Shark in Underworld was genius! The New 52 made Arthur a badass, radically elevated Mera to being far more than just Aquaman's wife. I mean, go watch the introductory Aquaman episodes of JL and read Aquaman from New 52 onwards. That's the level of change for Mera! I've gone on too long. Point is, Aquaman from 2011 onward did more for the character than 1941 to 2010! Fact.

Was about to say!...... I don't think that any artist in history ever quite captured the mood or atmosphere of Gotham and Batman in a visual manner better than Kelley Jones. I'm a little biased because my first comic ever was Batman #522 (Swamp Things). Loved the Moench/Jones hardcovers. Was super nostalgic for me. I feel Jones's art quality has either dramatically dropped over the years OR DC just didn't give him appropriate amounts of time to draw in recent years. His recent work just doesn't really compare to his 90s Batman run with Moench. Loved the Batman: Endgame tie in that he drew where one person presented Joker as possibly being a demon from Hell that takes the form of the "Joker" to torment Batman. Explains why he always seems to come back. And while I'm on it, I love the way Moench wrote Batman's inner thoughts.

Ok. 1/3 of this list is lousy. Some folks that should've been on the list is Andy Kubert, Joe Maduriera & the artist on the first run of spiderman 2099. Aside from that, Bagley is the reason I loved USM so much and read it until clone saga finished and his departure from the series is the reason I stopped reading the comic. Immonin is a lousy Spiderman artist and especially at the time of the comic book his style came across as too stiff & rigid. Dude could draw skinny folks to save his life. It was hideous to look at. I couldn't stand it. Only started reading it when Bagley came back. It was briefly for obvious reasons, but a good read none the less.

ben never killed that guy the dude had a gun to his head matt hit him in the leg and he tripped and fell down into the train tracks and just didnt save him, if anything it was self defense, no one complains or say batman killed ras algul in begins

More fun #73

Morrison by far

Bendis isn’t in the same league as the Jurgens, Tomasi, and Gleason runs. He made me drop the title for the first time in my life, and I’d been reading since 1992.

Interesting. This combined me to try Aquaman Rebirth

Tom Kings Batman is amazing…yes the wedding pissed me off! But the cold days Story arc after issue 50 was great!… Tynion did better on Detective comics! But his fear state was pretty good! But I’m also being biased cuz I love me some scarecrow

Would like a Nightwing Run v Run, also it would be nice if you could do a top comics of the year list

Jim Lee

Soule Waids run was so overrated. Narratively it made sebse but for the most it just seemed like it was silver age for the sake of it and felt like an average superhero comic.

Snyder all the why... Reading Morrison makes me feel I am back in university for God sake... Snyder gives great stories, funny, sad, but always easy to understand and accessible... Oh! And metal and death metal over anything morrison... It's a comic book not a symposium on existential crisis

Love it! Parts of Grayson still confuse me as I am not as familiar with Midnighter and other characters that pop up throughout the run, but I still enjoyed Dick's turn as a super spy. It was a fun twist that spun out the brutal beating he took in Forever Evil. I have not read Lobdell's and Jurgen's run on Nightwing, but after hearing what you had to say as well as watching another great comic KZbinr (Infinity Comics) discuss at length his hatred for the that run, I think I will pass. Great content as always! Bring on Higgins v Seeley Nightwing run! The former is one of my favorite runs on the character and I am reading through the latter currently!

Great videooooo

Jim Starlin

I love Batman of all styles and ear lengths but it does seem the longer the ears the more unusual/gothic and nightmarish the art tends to be which I think is great. Whenever the art style is creepy or gothic I always like to think its how people in the story think they see Batman - a slightly distorted augmented by fear version if that makes sense. Just my take

Excellent list. Justice is one of my favorite DC stories. I've got the first omnibus for Dennis O'neil's Question, and i cant wait to read it! One underrated stories I'd throw in the conversation is Identity Crisis, such a fantastic read!

Freeze is zzz. Clayface being good was eh. Hames did better

Not a fan of either of them. Hate Damien Wayne. Morrison stuff eas weird. Red Hood stuff was cool. Not a fan of Snyder Court of Owls. They are boring as hell. . Morrison is so weird

Arkham verse is the best batman next to tas.. arkhams only weakness when they got lazy with bane after orgins

So the Percy Rebirth is worth getting. ? O got Quive, Lemore rin and the Winnick run. Also into the Woods and Salvation. Really slept on this guy
