Best LOTDK Arc

Recommended Posts

Guest TheZsaszHorsemen

No poll because there are WAY more than five choices.

 

I nominate either GOTHIC or VENOM. The first because it was the arc that really put the title on the map and the second because it was the story that made Batman human, and showed he could make mistakes.

"Venom," definitely. It really showed Batman's human side, and illustrated that even a man with perhaps one of the strongest wills in the world can be tempted by the lure of easy power and quick solutions.

I forgot to mention GOING SANE, an arc that definitly showcased the Batman/Joker dynamic, and why they need eachother more than either of them care to admit.

Venom hands down.

 

This was *the* story in which fans got to see just how closely they could relate to Batman. In the DCU, that is not an easy task and when Batman succombed to taking the drug, you could hear the fans gasping.

 

Honorable mention goes to Going Sane which had a nice twist on the Joker/Batman/Bruce Wayne relationship that had never been done before.

I always liked Blades by James Robinson and Tim Sale.

 

But yeah, Venom is the best.

Let me put this another way...

 

I've bought Venom and Shaman: What is the next arc of LOTDK I should buy.

You should buy "Gothic" which was written by Grant Morrison when he wasn't a jackoff.

Faces was a Matt Hagan Two-Face story right?

 

 

Should I buy "Run Riddler Run"?

"Daces" was a 3 part story that involved Two-Face.

 

I have not read "Run Riddler, Run" yet.

Faces was Two-Face, yeah. GREAT story. It was actually the first LOTDK run that I ever picked up, back when I started to seriously collect comics. Loved it.

 

I'm partial to Blades too.

 

Venom would be the best, though.
