@@WannabeWryter His Wonder Comics are actually pretty good. This is coming from the one guy who actually bothered to read them. Bendis is an old man who loves his job, and I can't be mad at him for aging up Jon. I can however be mad at Scott Snyder for making this edgy train wrek of a story that has dragged on since 2017! It's been 3 fucking years and Scott has been writing the same damn story over and over! Brian Micheal Bendis' run will be mostly Rectoned, like Tom King's will be. That's unavoidable. Scott Snyder rewrote the entire Multiverse to be the exact opposite of what it was originally and now other writers are gonna have to figure out what to do the GIGANTIC FUCKING RETCONS as well as their long term effects! I swear to God, Year of the Villain was just him trolling rather than finishing his damn story!

Only in comic books to that all those failures a quite to a promotion to writing for Justice League.

Honestly my main problem with Snyder’s New 52 Batman run was what you touched on: it was always mega event after mega event, always earth shattering all the time. He went right from Court of Owls to Death of the Family to Zero Year to Endgame. It never felt like he knew how to take a breather, so nothing felt grand after a while because nothing felt small. It was just too much all the time. I loved his earlier work on Batman with Black Mirror and his short series Severed, but after that it feels like he lost the sense of writing character moments in lieu of EPIC ACTION ALL THE TIME

Yea, Snyder seems really eager to do stuff. Impatient, even. It would have been interesting to have Luthor on board as a member of the Justice League for a few adventures. Then have a plotline where he has to go to the future in order for them to win and he sees the Luthor worship future. Then it kinda eats at him in the back of his mind while he tries to resist. Eventually, he betrays the League in pursuit of his future in like a fully dedicated story.

Don't forget having his villains be ridiculously overpowered to the point that it makes the story draaaaaaaaaaag. The Batman Who Laughs is practically a God, because his level of foresight is fucking impossible!

Snyder’s run on JL has been fun, but for the most part, it’s nothing mind blowing. Except for the Sixth Dimension Arc. That was the most impactful JL story I’ve read in a very long time.

It's a crime that those two characters aren't more popular. The art on this Justice League series has been consistently fantastic. Also, bonus points for tiff being on episode 😀
