Batman - The Cucking Continues Until Reader Morale Improves

The Dark Knight is breaking through the bad dreams and coming out the other side. But is he ready for the culprit waiting through the veil of terror? And what lasting effects might this whole ordeal have on Bruce Wayne’s psyche? With artist Yanick Paquette (WONDER WOMAN: EARTH ONE) jumping on board to tackle the art, “Knightmares” comes to a shocking close. This will be the strangest issue yet—a no-holds-barred journey through Bat-man’s psyche via the inner workings of Arkham Asylum, setting up the next big chapter of Tom King’s epic BATMAN tale. Batman’s future starts now!

Another week, another self-impressed Batman comic to piss off the readers from Tom King. Issue 68 was rock bottom for Tom King's Batman so the good news is there’s only one way to go..up! Yanick Paquette’s art is a huge step-up from Amanda Conner. It’s honestly beautiful but pretty pin-up pages don’t fit Batman and it’s completely out of place. In that respect this issue is a beautiful waste of time. Issue 69 still isn’t a real Batman book so zero stars once again. I’ll start reviewing this series seriously when they start trying to make real Batman stories again.

Tom King and DC Comics are making a terrible mistake by continuing to remind readers of their bait-and-switch not wedding issue. Tom King lying to readers about whether the wedding would happen and DC spoiling it days before release were indefensible decisions that burnt fans and retailers. Shops all over America planned midnight release parties and invested sweat and money into making The Wedding a huge success. DC and Tom King burnt so many bridges with that issue, they would be much wiser to let it go and try to move on. Every one of these issues is a reminder to readers and retailers that Tom King and DC Comics are not to be trusted. These issues also keep cucking Batman harder and harder and it’s shedding readers.

Some good came of this issue. The stupid ass Knightmare holding pattern Batman’s been in, is finally over. Bruce ..
