I fully expect Scott's to fight
in the book.
Barda
She's steering him back on the "correct" path whenever he starts questioning what's happening(makes him kneel, says the shower is on, beats Granny etc). He can't escape his love for her. If someone is keeping an eye on him for Darkseid/whoever it's her/whatever replaced her.

MM is really killing it on covers, for every issue I find it tough to choose between the Derington and Gerards covers.
Metal was true to form bat-shit insane, I was hoping for the story to kick on a bit more in issue 2 and I know I was going on yesterday about Snyder going a bit silly sometimes but it was
undeniably glorious seeing a baby darkseid in goggles throwing up the metal horns to multiple evil versions of batman (one of which has cannabalistic robins on chains who use crow bar as a heel command ha)

That would be the most Darkseid thing to do...the possibilities of Mister Miracle are endless. It could be a fantastic piece of work.
"You turned your back and I wrecked your world. I robbed your people of their powers, their hopes, their future, themselves. What will you do when your friends, your enemies, your lover, are all Darkseid? When there is one body, one mind, one will. One life that is Darkseid..."
If the glove fits...
Batman lost loses Coipel and Bengal, gains Tynion, Williamson, Paquette, Mahnke, Jimenez, more pages and a higher price tag.

IIRC, Snyder said the collection would be the main series, the one shots and this interlude issue.

Nicely played sir, someone tweet that to Snyder immediately.
Yeah I'm probably going to buy pretty much all of them, but I'm still trying to get a feel of what are going to be main story issues and what are tie ins. I'm sure I read Snyder on twitter saying Batman lost is going to be pretty much an important main story issue but it gives Capullo a chance to catch up on art between Metal issues. I have a feeling in turn Hawkman found as its not written by Snyder will just be more of a issue to set up Hawkman back in the universe and set him up for a future solo series.
EDIT - Though I hope theres a lot of main story still to go into the side issues, as if you think about it if you go by main series issues were already a third of a way through the story, maybe even over if you count the forge/casting.

How much Snyder Batman have you read?
JordanDeGroot
Member
I would say you really will get more out of it if you've read Snyders 52 run and read the forge/casting single issues, but you could probably still enjoy it without reading those. It is Snyders love letter to the whole DC universe so it is chock full of old characters, story beats and easter eggs. I posted some links yesterday here for Aizo that help identify all the easter eggs and old characters for each issue so far.
I have read his run, so this sounds good. Gonna look up your links later when I have access to a PC again.
also, I tweeted Scott Snyder the Heavy Metal suggestion

Yeah definitely, I really enjoyed Multiversity but the annotated guides for that helped as well. I think I remember getting to the last few issues and ther being no guides
wonder why that was. Multiversity suprised me as well as I read Final crisis by Morrison and even with guides I had no f'ing clue what was going on, whereas Multiversity was great fun.LordOfLore

I'm now waiting on the "Fox takes issue with Superman defending illegals" thread.

Isn't Superman a Dreamer?
Well that's a ridiculous take. So it would have been preferable to let them get gunned down?
Also, the writer of that article (that's a charitable title for a buffoon) can't figure out how speech bubbles work:
"Why?!?" the American man replied. "They ruined me. Stole from me!"
It's pretty obvious that "Why?!" is from Superman, not the dipshit racist.

Pfft, everyone vote for General Zod instead for president 2017, he has promised to send all illegal immigrants to the phantom zone and keep kryptonian jobs for kryptonian workers, these damn earthies stealing all the jobs

I meant King's Batman
oh well, i mean, that's not a big deal really
it's amazing how some people who have consumed stuff like superman and star wars and captain america (well, maybe not now...) for decades grow up seemingly having taken absolutely nothing from it.

The cultural concept of a thing is often different from what that thing actually is. Just look at the new version of IT. Many people don't know what Pennywise ACTUALLY is. They think he's simply a killer clown.

So the Cyborg!Batman is actually
Alfred after he got uploaded after his death into the "Alfred Protocol" and absorbed Bruce and killed the others.

I'm always surprised by humanity's consistent ability to be horrible. The fact that this article openly advocated the nonchalant and open public executing of illegal immigrants, not simply deportation, makes it even more abhorrent than usual. I legitimately thought it as an Onion article that they put extra effort into looking like a FOX article. Then I realized the Onion doesn't do that, because they always want you to know that it's them.
That's fucking stupid.
Yet awesome.
True, but it's not like this stuff is all that abstract in those concepts. Shit you'd think like just basic decency and empathy at least might be pretty obvious.

It makes me think The Drowned isn't Batman with Aquaman powers but maybe Batman having taken over Mera's body and killed Aquaman for the trident.

Can't wait to see what on earth Doomsday Batman's origin is.

My guess is Batman experimenting on Doomsday DNA after Clark's death and ending up infected with it while trying to create a weapon to deal with Superman-level threats.

The book is really good, but I think I enjoy the slice-of-life stuff between Scott and Barda more than anything else.
