I actually love the gold outline of the Bat symbol and the cape doesn't bother me too much.

[@miwasakata691]

Mitch Gosser yeah, it's actually a nice touch that kind of makes the costume more interesting.

[@totalcliche3066]

if king continues this I am thing with the titles the last 3 have to be I am vengeance I am the night I am Batman you know it has to happend

[@brandonhines25]

total cliche Oh no fucking question his run is gonna end with I Am Batman

[@ijl007]

oh yea i have had no doubt that this whole arc will end with "I am Batman" i also think that if King follows many a bat writer there will be an "I am Joker" arc too lastly never thought of "I am vengeance" and "I am the night" but i sure like those names better then "I am suicide" :)

[@GI.Jared1984]

I know

[@quietwyatt8214]

What about "I am justice!"?

[@liverusrock6789]

It's interesting that in Death of The Family, Joker's point is "There's too many people with you man, you gotta lose a few" and after that Snyder makes Duke, which is a "new idea" that is totally irrelevant and won't matter in like 4 or 5 years.

[@batnick4433]

Live To Rock i kind of wish people would use him more... it does suck that’s he’s irrelevant...

[@liverusrock6789]

@@batnick4433 He's in Batman & The Outsiders now so at least they're proving me wrong by using him but he still isn't interesting to me.

[@batnick4433]

Live To Rock hmm I’ll have to check that out. I liked him when he was first introduced but since there was so little of his character I don’t really have an opinion but I’ll save any more judgment when I read more.

[@ThatsHipHop4Yaaa]

Hopefully someone is able to make Duke cool in a few years. Hopefully someone will give him a definite arc and transformation similar to Nightwing

[@jepsmcsmackin2507]

I can imagine some chick talking to her fiends about Bruce like So we danced and things got real intense, then he looked at me and leaned in close and it looked like we were gonna kiss or talk about each other... then the window gave him explosive diarrhea

i almost want to see the next writer to come along maybe in that we will get something weird like Batman is a octopus or a puppy or an alien or a doppelganger

[@deazy6453]

Every Back Issues is a glorious treat. Tiffany, I didn't think I would enjoy Night of the Monster Men but I really did. The art by Riley Rossomo is stellar and it's a nice short distraction/mini event for the Bat books.

[@comicpop]

The art is lovely.

[@movieguy2459]

I'm just gonna say it, I LOVE THIS SERIES. I haven't learned so much about comics. I love the videos and you guys rock. If I can make a request for back issues it would be Paul Jenkins inhumans. Keep up the good work.

Thank you! Someday....

[@sonicjr53]

despite how ...interesting this run is, the one issue where Bruce revealed his identity to gotham girl just hits me every time. "I just miss him." I mean jeez, those simple word. Never had a comic almost make me cry lol.

[@comicpop]

Will admit, that was a solid issue.

[@nixybe86]

I always thought when she said this is where Batman died, she was talking about their image of Batman what he stood for in their lives. Not him literally dying.

[@jonE5203]

Love the show, I've been a fan since the tv little house days. I do however have to say that i miss seeing Ben and Ethan on the couch together as thier reactions are what hooked me on this show, and its a bit hard to sell the show as a discussion series explaining comics to two guys who dont read them when one of the most featured members lately knows a great deal about comics. Not that Tiffany isn't great, I enjoy watching all of you guys on the live feeds, off the rack and letters page, i just miss Back Issues Classic. Love the channel, and ALL of the cast, keep up the good work guys and gals.

[@comicpop]

Both Ben and Ethan have full time jobs that make them unavailable a lot more often, which means it's Tiff or nothing. I like to think without her the channel falls apart. We appreciate you digging the guys, but let's not make others feel like they're second-rate.

[@jonE5203]

ComicPOP Of course, and if Tiffany feels that what I've said is upsetting in any way i apologise, it was definately not my intent. As i say im a big fan of the show and that includes all cast members, I often see Zubes in the chat replying and chatting with commentors, part of the reason people are such fans of the show is the level of personal interaction you guys have with the population. I hope no offense was taken

[@dickgrayson5586]

been following you guys since the inception of off the rack. sorry it took me so long to create an account just to suscribe. on to 100k then 1 million!

[@comicpop]

Thank you so much!

[@Araqnidm]

Have you guys watched the documentary “Batman & Bill” on Hulu? It covers the life and death of Bill Finger and the quest to get him credit for co-creating Batman. It’s pretty great.

[@madisonc310]

My friend excitedly showed me this book in the store because she misread the title as "Batman: I am Goth". Which of course is accurate

[@landonny]

I have never been more flip floppy on a writer for a book then Tom Kings Batman.

[@priceyyeti4058]

Say all you want about how you don't like Tom King's Batman, at least it ain't Marvel Legacy. I couldn't think of anything better to say...

[@superioridiot3846]

Pricey Yeti443980 you couldn't be anymore right

[@trebot9292266]

Do they not use enough of the characters or do they overuse too many? Cause having a lot of characters is not too bad, but using a lot of characters in a poor way makes it bad.

[@ctl6985]

PriceyYeti40 It doesn't say much about this run to just say it's better than this other thing that many people don't like. It has to stand on it's on

[@ZiggyGamma]

I'm glad I finished the video before I commented cause I was just about to say what if the death of Batman is metaphorical and as soon as I was about to hit comment Tiff said it and I got to enjoy the slow zoom in on Sal's depressed face

[@krishna7404]

If a plane would be crashing in Gotham then Scott Snyder most likely would have whipped up some armor to overcompensate, but throughout King's run Batman hasn't used any kind of armor, which in itself is great, but I also like how he has explored the futility of Batman too. I really like Scott Snyder's run on Batman, but I appreciate Tom King's run too. Not unlike King's other works, investment is long term but return is equally great.

[@knoober3756]

I love the rebirth costume, I think the purple on the cape reminds me a lot of the animated series blue interior cape plus I can always admire something unique

Not to be an umm actually flash fanboy dick but in vol 1 of the new 52 flash title he had to stop a crashing plane in central city so he managed to get into the crashing plane and vibrate the entire plane and people through a bridge and land it safely and save everyone.

In reference to the small bit about Bill Finger in the first half of the video; you guys should check out the new documentary "Batman & Bill." All about how Bill Finger was finally given the credit he deserves for his part in Batman. 9/10 you will definitely cry at the end. It's on Hulu, I think.

[@amadexmilby7309]

In the issue where its towards the end of this book. When she narrates about killing Batman and how she moves on that's in her mind and how she imagines that she'll get past these events of losing her brother. I thought that this was an okay read but, it could only get better from here on in. I've just now gotten into this run and I like it so far.

[@codymavick9068]

This is hilarious! Best comic summary ever.

[@taylorpechter5422]

To be honest, I have to agree with Sal. I have been very hot and cold on this series. some issues have been great, but most of it has just seemed empty to me. It just feels like these stories trudge on. I am also not a fan of King's dialogue because as Sal said, it it very robotic. I also find the art inconsistent. Finch is okay, but can get very sketchy. Mikel Janin, on the other hand, is great. His art is very clean and dynamic. Overall, I prefer Detective.

[@ComicCrossing]

Detective is hardly even a Batman book

[@FloorTankMain]

I gotta say, I'm glad I dropped the Batman books after reading the Rebirth issues because Just Sal explaining that Tom King literally stole Cassandra Cain-Batgirl's famous line for Gotham and Gotham Girl is making me livid
