artwork wise, i wasn't all that impressed. in fact, in many panels/pages, i was flat-out disappointed that a more prominant choice was not made. ed benes, or adam kubert, or damion scott, or mike deodato, or some one else would have been much more welcome.



One thing that has pissed me off about DC, and especially Batman, for the past five years is how they put good artists with shitty writers and good writers with shitty artists.

When Jim Lee was drawing the book, instead of a guy like Dini, they gave us Jeph Loeb. And with Dini writing the book, instead of Lee (or some other fan favorite) they give us this guy.

Similarly, for a few years Ty Templeton and Dan Slott were turning out very Diniesque stories for the "animated" book. Any of those scripts would have, if paired with a fan favorite artist, been perfect for the regular book and made it a best seller, but instead they had Templeton and Slott laboring in the "DC kids" ghetto, churning out some classic bat-tales but getting ignored because of the art by bad Timm imitators those books usually had.


The last Batman Adventures title was the best bat-book DC had post-Hush.

Bow ties are coool.
