Pretty clearly, your comment wasn't exactly controversial. <br /><br />I've only seen a little of the game, and it was amazing. It just never ported to Wii.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-33744914600309019762010-06-21T10:23:22.429-05:002010-06-21T10:23:22.429-05:00But you erased my comment!

Strong start, but it didn't hold up terribly well. That series was canceled without so much as a whimper.<br /><br />And, yeah, I was really hoping "Streets of Gotham" would be a worthy successor to "Gotham Central", but its just a totally different (and completely extraneous) comic.<br /><br />And, Jason, I keep forgetting to send you pics. It looks like DC is releasing action figures based on the video game. The modeling is excellent.<br />http://dccomics.com/dcdirect/?dcd=15653&lst=new&cat=JUST+ANNOUNCEDThe Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-47227555517873656932010-06-21T08:27:37.414-05:002010-06-21T08:27:37.414-05:00Great list Ryan!

I think for anyone wanting to get into today's Batman by Morrison they'd need to read:<br /><br />Son of the Demon<br />Batman & Son<br />The Black Glove<br />Batman: R.I.P.<br />Batman & Robin<br /><br />I can't say enough good things about Gotham Central. I'm really enjoying reading that series again as it comes out in hard cover.<br /><br />Another book that I enjoyed was the original Batman: Sword of Azrael, mini-series by Denny O'Neil and Joe Quesada. Too bad they ruined that character with later stories.Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-49082724558334520862010-06-21T08:01:58.430-05:002010-06-21T08:01:58.430-05:00"Snow" was excellent, from a straightfor..."Snow" was excellent, from a straightforward storytelling perspective, but what really made the story a stand out in my mind was Seth Fisher's art. I only own the original issues, but I would recommend a collection any day. <br /><br />Fisher passed way, way too early.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-78455544782623791122010-06-21T01:32:07.232-05:002010-06-21T01:32:07.232-05:00Thanks for this excellent resource!

Mike, I will lend you the books from this list that I own if you like (not to discourage you from buying your own copies :)<br /><br />Don't know how many South Park viewers are here, but they did a pretty blatant nod to The Killing Joke in the latest episode. I was impressed.Dughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04129590794154507955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-56037995092393775072010-06-21T01:27:53.649-05:002010-06-21T01:27:53.649-05:00What do you think about "Snow"?

As far as I know it didn't have any kind of effect on the DCU, but it's a clever retelling of the Mr. Freeze origin which touches on the issue of Batman's early strategies for fighting crime.horus kemwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984916074697401382noreply@blogger.com
