Tom King How Batman Will End (Behind The Panel) | SYFY WIRE

[@jediknutt620]

I wrote a short story in high school called “The Last Batman Story”. This was in 1988 or 89. In it, Bruce marries Selina. He stops being Batman. Then Joker kills Selina, Bruce as himself, not Batman, kills Joker and ends up in prison. I guess I was ahead of my time.

[@shorewall]

That actually sounds awesome.

[@ScottBaetz]

And a million times better than what we got

[@justinbland5158]

That’s already better than Tom King’s Batman run. Sounds awesome!

[@VuotoPneumaNN]

Way to 'refrigerate' Selina, dude...

[@gabbar51ngh]

maybe you should have created you own characters and put them there and made a comic out of it.

[@kaineshigaraki5253]

Tom King strikes me as a socially awkward kid and I find it endearing. (+)

Condiment king kills the bat family by poisoning their salad dressing while disguised as a waiter

[@Benji_12321]

Could be worse. He could have written Tom King's batman.

[@VuotoPneumaNN]

@@Benji_12321 Nothing is worse than Holy Terror.

[@arnecruz]

I do not want Batman to end. But I will really enjoy to see how Om King ends literally.

[@constipatedinsincity4424]

The Joker RSVP for the wedding. He's bringing a fondue pot.

[@brianervin7643]

Batman #51 was pretty awesome ... but it had nothing to do with anything he said here. It's got an infinitely better premise than anything else he talked about here.

[@monkeys7187]

HE means it literally when he says the batman who entered wont be the one who leaves. Thomas wayne will be batman in the next run while bruce is married and happy

[@johnnyburger7409]

Not exactly the prognosticator you thought you were

[@uruncleando5507]

Why would I spend over 100 dollars on batman tom king for (SPOILERS) no vows

[@TheJunkle9781]

This comment section is ridiculous. Tom's Batman run has been incredible.

[@deazy6453]

No. It hasn't. It's actually quite horrible. A character deconstruction is fine. Character assassination is not.

[@paulwright1814]

Houdini Catfish Respectfully, I don’t see how it’s a character assassination. King’s been pretty clear that he’s telling one big story that he’s planned out, at least in broad strokes, with a beginning, middle, and end. This Batman run has been about, can Batman be happy? and Bane’s brutal attempt to “break” Batman in a psychological way. The fact that Selina leaves Bruce standing at the alter, is a massive emotional blow for Bruce Wayne. So I think the fact that they didn’t get married, really works in the context of the story. Maybe DC hyped up the big wedding event too much for marketing purposes? But that’s on DC, not Tom King. With the exception of the recent “Knightmare” arc, I’ve loved King’s run. The story has still been a really interesting and unique take on Batman.

[@mehrider7041]

Thank you!

[@12234d]

I don't get why people don't like Tom King? The war of Jokes and Riddles is amazing!

[@yourarchnemesis8453]

war of jokes and riddles wasn't that great.

[@biker944]

mr king is cool

[@lilbill15]

Let him tell the story y’all there’s a reason for everything

[@extt2005]

I’m enjoying Mister Miracle but not his run on Batman. I’m disappointed that the plan is for him to be on the book for 100 issues...

[@js6527]

Love his Batman run. Progress is good.

[@optimistprime9983]

Either his Batman run will include Helena Wayne, or it's a failure. A marriage isn't a big enough reward, because there'll always be a chance of it ending with a breakup. A kid destined to become a superhero, is more solid and everlasting. It's tough because Tom King does A LOT of interviews, and lies a lot. It's really unprecedented, and I'm curious to see how fans will respond to him at Cons, going forward.

[@danielchrysalis6554]

He needs to team up with Danielle Steele & stick to poetry, stop wasting Batman pages on the same poem reworded over & over throughout 49 issues.

[@kennethtoro1875]

You ruined Ivy and killed her for Harley Quinn's retconned relationship with The Joker treating Ivy as collateral damage...

[@deazy6453]

Harley even acts like herself anymore, and Wally is a mass murderer. Batman isnt even Batman anymore, and Bendia already started a Superman

[@ericb5328]

Terrible run. Get him off batman

[@GeekOwtLowd]

And the wedding was all a bait a switch. Lame.

[@adeivyssuarez2843]

Tom king should be replaced after this whole debacle

[@myconiusmaximus1022]

"one of the best batman writers in years..."? i strongly disagree.

[@boosterfett5242]

Personally, I'm extremely conflicted by this guy. On the one hand, The War of Jokes and Riddles was a great story where he examined what would happen if Batman broke his no killing rule. On the other hand, The Gift was a complete garbage story in which it looks like he doesn't understand any of the characters involved in the story. I haven't read 48-50 yet, but I know that based on his characterization of Booster Gold, I will be very upset by his Heroes in Crisis story coming up, especially if that story explains his understanding of that character...

[@JosephHandibode]

A good writer who copies same formula of previous writerss. No progress.

[@BowmansWorld]

Joseph Handibode how every story has been vastly different. Did u not hear him talk about having to do new things for characters.

[@solaceboy]

Tom King is a horrible writer for the Dark Knight.

[@ericnewton193]

Solaceboy probably due to him being cia

[@vincentbatten4686]

Tom King is a savage. Thank God DC put him on this book. One of the best. DC were smart to let him loose.

[@corissadorethy1837]

Tom King's Batman.. one of the few DC titles I actually want to read.

[@Garrus1995]

I like a lot of what Tom King has written, but this whole marriage that didn't end up happening? I think he should quit Batman. Give us more Sheriff of Babylon.

[@davidwebster2849]

Tom King is an AWFUL Batman writer!

[@petemarquez8759]

Well I've never heard of this writer, but that's on me, not him....reading the fans posts where they go back and forth about him is interesting. I like these creator interviews whether it be artists or writers because I like to know what they're thinking and the "how and why" in their process. I can tell which side of the political spectrum he lands on because of the way he describes our current state of events. I don't agree with that assessment, but I understand that there are people out there that do feel that way. Very fascinating, thanks for posting.

[@kevinnevada5342]

In my ending... Bruce Wayne now in his mid to late 70's....He and his wife Harlen Quinnzel ,former side kick of the clown prince of crime, are happily married with twin girls...Talia and Victoria...and miss quinzell is 8 months pregnant with lucky baby number 3..who would have been named Thomas Gordon Wayne...if not for the events of ...:"BRuce Waynes darkest night".. Bruce , Harley and the twins arrive at the Ancient Operahouse on a gondola...they plan to catch a n early screening of the phantom of the opera....A semi automatic uleashes hell in the form of a twisted tornado of lead and gun powder.....the rest, they say...is history

[@Tha_Pencil]

Worst writer if all time

[@nwigeek2562]

Awesome interview Tom King you at doing a great job on Batman.

[@austinmeghu]

Here after Tom King has tanked the sales of Batman and got himself kicked off the title from his incompetence. Tom King is a terrible writer

[@arghyaneedsleep]

He didn't get himself kicked off batman, he quit because he's really busy with the new gods movie.

[@austinmeghu]

@@arghyaneedsleep Nah. In all reports it says that it was the choice of DC and not him. He got kicked off before he could finnish his story because he was tanking the sales of dcs flagship book.
