[@b3rz3rk3r9]

Ren Zen Cheap housing. The crime in Gotham must be so bad, that it's bringing down house prices. This is a theorized answer, which is why people are staying, because it's the only place making Poor people look friggin rich!

[@panthor109thabest7]

Ren Zen because you are less likely to die from debris in Gotham. Human v superhuman or Alien v alien

[@danielfeliz7339]

Its because of kite man hell yeah

[@herokid789]

if you really think about it most of the crimes only effect a localize area so its not like "oh no my house keeps getting blown up" it's more like houses in general keep blowing up. also in the case of things like the court of owls an similar happenings people just might not know the fulll extent of how ba things are its not like batman or the cops are telling people the play by play. but the best theory i've ever hear is that the mayor an some of the other powerful people in gotham are controling the media,

[@tazk3397]

Let's be honest: deathstroke would kick deadshot's ass but the only reason that didn't happen is because dc doesn't want to kill a basic suicide squad character

[@ahmedmahtar6834]

PhantomStroke 32 agreed

[@memeyloaf7999]

True, but that would only happen if 1v1, but when its long-range Deadshot will have an advantage

[@sharilshahed6106]

PhantomStroke 32 the story is set 2 years after Batman emerged so they were both close back at those days. Mordern day deathstroke can manhandle the suicide squad with ease cause other than his meta-augments, most of his overpowering gadgets came much later.

[@tanaka173]

Deadshot is the better shot but deathstroke is the better mercenary overall. Not to mention his gear and armor are designed to stop worse than bullets

[@pimpdragonarchfiend]

Look at it this way it was also the original reality

[@thekrakenexperiment280]

I'm seeing a lot of people in the comments say that they disliked the story, but I thought it was great. It was cool seeing a war breakout between the Gotham villains. I also like how Batman had to actually work with some of the villains to stop the fighting instead of doing the typical punching and detective stuff. The Joker not being able to laugh was an interesting choice, but it made for a neat take on the character. That seen in Wayne Manor was also great. Most of all, I absolutely love what they did with Kite Man, making him both sympathetic and silly.

[@Rawkwilder]

The Kraken Experiment right. The not laughing thing actually made him more scary, because it meant he usually thinks something is funny but this time he wasn't thinking it's funny. So he's more calculating and precepting than people give him credit for.

[@haydenstones2759]

The Kraken Experiment I agree but I'd love to see the joker laugh like a syco all threw the story like a sycophant

[@Zyrdalf]

It was a good story, but it could have been written better. Unless comicstorian skipped a part that explains why Batman joined up with riddler. That is my complaint with this story. also poor kiteman.

[@ericpuhala7914]

Roan Wins Games he joined riddler because he had more guys, which he then used to capture all of those criminals easily. That way it was just Riddler, Batman, and Joker

[@afurtiveflower]

The Kraken Experiment Although I disagree with all of the things you said, I respect your opinion and am very glad that you liked it! Personally, I thought having Batman work with the villains was just flat out stupid. He knew they were going to betray him, so why try? Also, the dinner scene was spoiled by the fact that the Joker and the Riddler’s arguments were half baked. “The Joker can’t kill the Batman” but why? “Nobody cares about the Riddler” but why? Is it because his character is too silly, or that riddles aren’t all that funny? I think it’s that lack of specification that sent it all to hell.

[@randypeace6691]

I can see why people would think Bats dark moment was meh. Within the context of the character, it does. Bats prides himself on being in control, so for him to have a moment where he went for a kill shot, that is an ego bruise for him. He thinks he is better then them, so to have that moment where he could have been like them, tough pill to swallow.

[@GweiTheLeafChild]

Also, what makes it funny to the Joker is that the Joker saved the Riddler from the killing blow. It was as what punchlines to jokes are. Unexpected.

[@YouTubeViolates1A]

Exactly

[@theoutlawking9123]

You said it, he thinks he's better than everyone else, like he has more self control. That's not confidence, that's all ego and arrogance, so of course one day his true colors would shine through, revealing the flawed, arrogant child deep down.

[@DLBread]

How it should've gone Batman: "Will you marry me?" Catwoman: "Hell yeah"

[@williamayers617]

I like this arc. the riddler seems to deeply care for the joker to go to such lengths just to get a rise out of him.

[@hutchinator]

you missed the most important part... Penguin points out that Falcone's mom lives three hours away

[@Cruentus]

Flat Earth Believer: Am I a joke to you? Joker: It isn't funny!

[@Airworthy55]

The initial proposal to Selina on the rooftops was more of a statement or demand by Bruce. Important distinction in the sequence of this story. Tom King (author) is acutely deliberate with character dialogue so I'd suggest reading the volume in its entirety for a comprehensive understanding.

[@VerneditheSnail]

I agree. Tom King's outstanding Vision series is what made me check out his Batman run in the first place... sadly King's Batman has been very uneven and polarizing in terms of quality.

I loved this story, seeing two of batman's most well known enemies go to war, and all of it, by how I followed it, to get the joker to laugh again (please, if I misunderstood this, correct me if I'm wrong about this point)

[@MardonNaLou]

I personally feel this was a filler story and the writer wanted to tell a Joker and Riddler story. Catwoman pretty much said what we all were thinking. "who cares?" I get it. Batman is meant to be incorruptible but he's also meant to be a mortal man with faults. After hearing that Riddler caused all this death and destruction for a riddle, hell yeah you'd be ready to end him. Not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.

[@captainjackharkness2136]

Mardon NaLou the reason it haunts him is because he nearly broke his no kill rule.

[@rnspurgn3015]

@Captain Jack Harkness he almost killed Joker like a 100 times, this was definitely NOT his darkest moment

[@theoutlawking9123]

​@@captainjackharkness2136 Bruce having a no kill rule just proves what a fool and coward he is, look how many people joker & riddler killed/got killed in this story. For ANYONE to keep pretending like these villains shouldn't be put down really shows what spineless fools they are, Bruce is nothing but a coward, this story proves that.

[@Bluesit32]

...out of all the terrible stuff that Batman is put through, this is what makes him snap?! And the one who pushed him was RIDDLER?! That is pretty funny.

[@Ubermensch9240]

Riddler: "Why does the end of the world never come?" Me: *has not seen the video or read the comic* "Because it doesn't have an edge?" Riddler: "This guy gets it."

[@natmehellbear3899]

This is such a romantic love story between the joker and the riddler

[@sharilshahed6106]

Would definitely love an animated movie based on this. Also really don't get all the hate. I've been reading since New 52 and got a multitude of good and bad stories so what kind of bad characteristic or poor dialogues were here, exactly? It's like saying you hate Mad Max movie or Baby Driver for it's lack of original story (I do hate the former myself, but at least I respect the fact that a lot of people love it and dubs it a masterpiece).

[@thomasrichardson5425]

the whole point of the story was that it tipped batman over the edge for a second, yet there was no dramatic build up. no tension, to me it basically came out of nowhere

[@frbd74]

The fact that Nigma broke out of prison, killed many people, created kiteman because of how incompetent he is, killed his son, hired half the villains of the city, created a war, all to solve one riddle, which would be joker laughing? how is it not awesome?

[@CeeWorld69]

Sharil Shahed wait, that movie Baby driver that came out last year is not an original story???

​@@frbd74 You call this awesome, you have issues.

[@theoutlawking9123]

​@@thomasrichardson5425 Which is stupid, a waste of time, we all know Bruce doesn't have the balls to kill, he never has and never will. I learned that afterJoker killed Jason, his own son and he still let him live. From that point I realized Bruce will forever be a spineless twat.

[@TheParanormalist0601]

I was just glad that Deathstroke and Poison Ivy were on Riddler's side.

[@rexventura4603]

Old comment but why?

[@robertharrison331]

i think the point is that batman never kills and when he goes to kill someone it the joker who stops him form killing. which is good as the joker is normal tring to get him to kill someone and it the twist where the joker stops him. And it showing him that if he has a bad day he would end up like the joker but if someone stop him he would be normal

Honestly I like Batman marrying Catwoman & hope they actually stay together, I liked the war between Riddler & Joker, Riddler in my opinion doesn't get the respect he deserves sometimes so seeing him put on equal footing as Batman's greatest foe in an all out war was amazing to especially when it's shown that everything that happened was planned by The Riddler from the beginning as a way to get Joker to laugh is just a masterpiece of story telling...............However Bruce's big secret that he was scared Catwoman would leave him for, being that he almost killed The Riddler & the Joker stopped was super weak I understand the idea behind why that would be such a big deal but the impact of it just isn't there really

[@VerneditheSnail]

Last week they released Batman Annual #2, it showed how well Batman and Catwoman's relationship can go on for years. There's even a flashforward that shows a definitive ending to their story. It gave me hope this will last.
