I highly believe Didio was planning for 5G to implode and take the current continuity with it so he could go back to a New 52-esque continuity. They would have had to reboot to get all the characters deaged in the present.
What are your thoughts on King's run?
Even if it was really supposed to be a fakeout (It's interesting how people at DC thanked Didio for taking the blame for their bad decisions after he was fired, King always blames editorial for his fuckups), it was King who thought putting two anime beach episodes was the right way to go.
Just distasteful.
*after Bane snapped Alfred's neck.
Carlos!
The buildup to the wedding was bad, the Knightmares arc was bad, Bruce and Thomas in the desert was a waste of time and City of Bane was trash.
I haven't seen any remose from him.
He even thinks Heroes in Crisis is great and that is even worse than his Batman.
Jesus H. Christ, you people still latch onto those beach scenes like it’s some kind of an actual argument against King?
Because they were bad, just look at the reactions from when they came out.
And we're not latching onto them as if they were the only bad thing, this is the first time someone mentioned them in this thread.
Pointless outside of Alfred dying.
Bad.
Especially when it comes to the slow glacier pacing.
