Tom King How Batman Will End (Behind The Panel) | SYFY WIRE
/ syfywire - Zábava
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.
That actually sounds awesome.
And a million times better than what we got
That’s already better than Tom King’s Batman run. Sounds awesome!
Way to 'refrigerate' Selina, dude...
maybe you should have created you own characters and put them there and made a comic out of it.
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
The Joker RSVP for the wedding. He's bringing a fondue pot.
I do not want Batman to end. But I will really enjoy to see how Om King ends literally.
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
Not exactly the prognosticator you thought you were
mr king is cool
Why would I spend over 100 dollars on batman tom king for (SPOILERS) no vows
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.
-"I think I have 21 Eisners"
-"Yeah but you also did Holy Terror"
Could be worse. He could have written Tom King's batman.
@@Benji_12321 Nothing is worse than Holy Terror.
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...
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
Or or or you can set up a wedding for a year have people buy preludes and everything else and theeeen spoil the ending in the New York Times and theeeen have them not get married all together dc and Tom king broke a promise to the readers
So you know he didn't spoil it right?
Jon Erwin no that honor went to DC comics and the New York Times all he did was help promote a story that was billed as the Batman catwoman wedding and then not go through with it and there by farther delude the trust the readers and creators haves with each other
GayyDikkz69swagyolo420hahahaBLAZEIT at the very least this issue has been billed as the wedding issue don’t call it that if it’s not a wedding issue call it will they won’t they? Something that at least displays a possibility of them not getting married don’t have an engagement issue then 25 other issues setting up the wedding them 5 preludes that all call themselves wedding preludes that is misleading at best and betrays the trust of readers
Oh please ! We all knew Batman and Catwoman were NEVER gonna get married ! That would be shaking up the status quo too much ! When he proposed I knew then it wasnt gonna happen ... I do agree that DC shouldn't be spoiling shit ... I don't believe Tom King had anything to do with it ... Wedding or no wedding ... People would have been bitching about something regardless !
But butbut its 100 issues! Just suck it up and read 50 more issues of Sadman, the Depressed Knight and his ward Robin the Boy Head-wound.
Outside of Johns, the leadership at DC is full of carpetbaggers that have no real appreciation for their characters.
Let him tell the story y’all there’s a reason for everything
Love his Batman run. Progress is good.
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.
I don't get why people don't like Tom King? The war of Jokes and Riddles is amazing!
war of jokes and riddles wasn't that great.
Tom King's Batman.. one of the few DC titles I actually want to read.
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.
You ruined Ivy and killed her for Harley Quinn's retconned relationship with The Joker treating Ivy as collateral damage...
Harley even acts like herself anymore, and Wally is a mass murderer. Batman isnt even Batman anymore, and Bendia already started a Superman
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.
A good writer who copies same formula of previous writerss. No progress.
Joseph Handibode how every story has been vastly different. Did u not hear him talk about having to do new things for characters.
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.
Awesome interview Tom King you at doing a great job on Batman.
This comment section is ridiculous. Tom's Batman run has been incredible.
No. It hasn't. It's actually quite horrible. A character deconstruction is fine. Character assassination is not.
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.
Thank you!
Tom King is a savage. Thank God DC put him on this book. One of the best. DC were smart to let him loose.
And the wedding was all a bait a switch. Lame.
Love me some Tom King!
Terrible run. Get him off batman
Then he just said issue 51 was gona be craZy important and it was some random story bout mr freeze in court haha, love this dudes writing on vision and mr miracle but hate his batman stuff, so cold and boring imo
Him going up against bane is boring?
him fighting Thomas Wayne batman is boring?
His relationship with Selina is boring?
@@smith.201 When written by Tom King it is. It's also depressing and miserable.
Tom King is a horrible writer for the Dark Knight.
Solaceboy probably due to him being cia
Tom king should be replaced after this whole debacle
"one of the best batman writers in years..."?
i strongly disagree.
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...
GayyDikkz69swagyolo420hahahaBLAZEIT tom’s king batman isn’t really batman..... he’s cuckman!!!
GayyDikkz69swagyolo420hahahaBLAZEIT Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhshahahahahahshshdhifjtjfjdnrifjfnfinfkgnfisjdjfkrkdktnitksjrndkc
GayyDikkz69swagyolo420hahahaBLAZEIT lol. Hes terrible!
Tom King is an AWFUL Batman writer!
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
He didn't get himself kicked off batman, he quit because he's really busy with the new gods movie.
@@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.
@@arghyaneedsleep lmao sure he did.
Worst writer if all time
