Yeah but the 90s edgy grimdark Batman fathers Barbara's child or someone gets raped or everyone is brooding and sad and then everyone dies and its all miserable is so lame. So stupid. So weak!
There's enough drama and angst in fighting costumed supervillians without shoving in Days of our Lives scripts to make the in-between fight parts 'real' and 'dark'.
Silver Age may have been goofy, but everything post Watchmen and Killing Joke have been nothing but angst, angsty people being angsty and angsty grimdark.
I enjoy Vertigo Comics. The pinnicle of Angst and Grimdark apperently. And Vertigo Comics is awesome, V for Vendetta, The Preacher, Hellblazer, and Sandman.
Well sure, but don't...don't you ever get tired of it? Maybe this comes off as hypocritical from such a 40k dork as myself, but grimdark? Again?
Like I understand the place it has, and certainly some characters are created for Grimdark. Its hard to imagine V going around on a Guy Fawkes themed motorcycle punching Mimes and midgets in the face while making snappy flirts with a woman dressed like a tree.
But surely there's enough comic interpretations to go around? Like we have enough angsty Batman games. We could do with either an Adam West one, or early Batman animated series, which while broody, did have a sense of camp and fun and at least compared to the Animated series comic is fucking cheerful.
I dunno. I think a silver/golden age Batman game wouldn't be the flop people think it'd be.
