Batman Oddesy or Holy Terror would be closest.
No selfies in Barnes and Noble!

Hereās a spreadsheet Iāve been working on featuring every Versus Cover in DC Publication History. Definitely incomplete, but I am about 1500 entries in.
Thatās MY shelf damnit! 
i bet all this A/B cover stuff is driving you nuts.

What really drives me nuts are the group fights. Gimme a clean one on one any day.
The more I read superhero comics by the big two lately the more I realize most of these writers and artists I just canāt seem to care about anymore.
Started off reading the newest reboot of Batgirl - what is this, the sixth one in the last decade that promises a fresh new start where Batgirl gets her own version of the joker or whatever the fuck. No maybe this is the one that promises she gets a boyfriend.
who the fuck hires these Teens that their end goal for the comic book industry is to get a cozy job at DC writing fucking stories about some old ass dude whoās been dead for a hundred years character! fuck! The only good story Iāve read out of DC is probably Gotham Academy. Maybe Alan Moore was right - maybe all of this shit just needs to be thrown away for two decades and nobody ever needs to think about these characters for awhile.
I read that DC is doing a series about Deathstroke now. Does anyone care about Deathstroke that cares about him in a way thatās unrelated to how dreamy Manu Bennetās face and voice are.
I wish DC would stop hiring artists that you can tell were chiefly inspired by Anime and Jamie Hewlett. I wish all of those artists would go to the same CAD school and get caught in a freak printing-press related accident.

maybe this stuff just isnāt your thing man. But it doesnāt sound like youāre reading any highlights or great runs but just diving into todayās pile. Maybe Iām wrong, but if youāre looking at Batgirl as the standard for American comics that hardly seems fair.
That feels like looking at Warhammer Eternal Crusade or something and judging games today, itās just such a random pick.
Like Iām sure if we talked I could give you a WAY better recommendation than just this current B-girl that I know a few B-girl fans canāt stand.
Itās not about whether or not itās this Batgirl or some legendary run of Batgirl. It could be Iron Fist or Avengers or Falcon or anything - weāre supposed to have attachment to these characters and the concepts they embody but none of them have concrete personalities from one writer to the next or even represent the same set of ideals.
Doctor Doom is Iron Man right now, this feels like it was an idea created by someone who never read Doctor Doom but was solely raised on /co/ memes.

Are any of the green lanterns likable again
If you want to help me out, you can actually make a list of whoās fighting who here, and what issue this is a cover for.
The Deathstroke series is actually pretty good!
Iām pretty biased, but I like all of 'em. The four main guys are all hanging out with each other in Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps now.

With regards to Batgirl though: I just really want Oracle back

Yeah, I might as well put that on there.
Justā¦ no. I mean these characters change and morph but thereās a heart to each of them. Sure some bad stories betray that. But I know when Spider-Man is being done right and wrong (see the Civil War movie for the WORST fucking interpretation of that character in history)
It just sounds like you should be reading other stuff though.
Thatās JLA vs Avengers.
There was a Wizard article listing everyoneā¦ donātā know if I wanna attempt that from memory.
