In order for me to read these you guys are gonna have to give me reasons like a few of you have. Booster Gold, Arkham Asylum, The Twelve, Ex Machina (i keep forgetting), are now on my list
I'm big on Vertigo. So I've read a lot of that stuff. Love it. Anything that's a little more gritty dark and real I love. Is there anything where super heroes with MAX content? I mean not just the max label but batman getting really pissed and being really really uber violent and disgusting or saying fuck or something? just wondering. |

If you're gonna check out Booster Gold, it kind of continues directly off of 52, so you may or may not want to check that out too.

I started reading 52 a while back but didn't really get what was going on. Can someone give me a lead in to that?

I primarily stuff in trades so I've yet to read any Mighty Avengers or the latest New Avengers. But I'm following Secret INvasion just fine.

Ralph Dibney's stuff continues off of Identity Crisis and what happened to him there... Which if you know, is pretty self-explanatory. Renee Montoya is coming out of Gotham Central, but again you don't really need to read it. You just need to know that she is no longer a cop and is a drunken angry lesbian. And Black Adam was previously a member of the JSA but left to liberate Kahndaq and became its new dictator who has a zero tolerance policy against crime. Really, 52 can be read with no lead in at all, though. |

Yeah just read it. Action issue primarily. Good stuff though. Shit hits the fan at the end.
Good stuff with Ronin/Hawkeye and Mockingbird. Can't wait for #3. |

If you're into Vertigo, though, I'd highly recommend Sandman Mystery Theater--particularly the 'Sleep of Reason' arc. Also check out DMZ. |

Yeah, Sandman Mystery Theatre was awesome too. Don't check out Sleep of Reason, though, check out the original series.

I've read everything Sandman (got a huge torrent file bout two years ago) and read those loved em. Gonna read some more DMZ
and not neccesarily just batman. But I don't know why I asked that question I don't really care now. Has he ever killed anyone on accident? and when will that be a storyline? |

There's a scene in The Dark Knight Returns where the Joker breaks his own neck, framing Batman for killing him. And there have been a couple of times where Bats has lost it to the point of almost doing it himself (once in Death in the Family and again in Hush) I'm sure there are a couple of villains here and there who may have accidentally killed themselves while fighting him, but I can't think of any specific examples.
Superman's killed a couple of times, and Wonder Woman isn't above it. But Batman will usually go out of his way to make sure he doesn't kill his villains. |

In the very beginning, batman had a gun, and would shoot crooks dead. And he'd make witty quips while doing it.

I don't know why I thought of this, but there was one issue on Superman (or Action Comics or whatever) in the 90s where The Joker had poisoned Lois Lane and claimed that the antidote could only be obtained by killing him, when in fact the poison would just make Lois' health go downwards, appear dead, and then come back to life just fine. Joker just wanted Superman to break his code against killing, when it was absolutely unnecessary.
After finding out this, Superman's just like "That's... that's INSANE!" and Batman was like "I'm Batman." and Joker was all "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!" |

That was a hell of an arc. I miss that kind of Joker; the version they have now (or versions, since apparently nobody at DC can agree on how he's supposed to act) really doesn't do it for me.
