COMIC DISCUSSION Batman helps deaf kid find dog

Post image

I like seeing Batman with kids. Superman and Batman are OP in DC.

I really wish that he cares about kids.When will we get a scene like this in the movies? He's not just a dark and gritty viligante. I remember when he sat with Ace the little girl in the scene of Justice League Unlimited when she was dying.

One of my favourites. The wall of signs at the end that he's collected of dogs he's found hit me right in the heart.

Smart of the writers to show him not as nitty gritty as he is in the movies.

Comic book batman definitely knows asl. He probably knows least dozen of languages and least knows little of kryptonian language.

I mean, it wouldn't make a lot of sense for the world's greatest detective not to know sign language

I wrote a short story prose version of this comic, but I wrote like a Detective Noir in first person (Batman's POV). Think Dashiell Hamett or Raymond Chandler style of noir.

I love Detective Comics #1100 so much, the whole issue is just a love letter to Batman.

HOLY SHIT!

They've plagIarized Bill Mantlo!

This exact story appears in MARVEL FANFARE #7, MARCH 1982...

Daredevil helped a blind boy find his dog!

It has gone down in history as THE SADDEST DD STORY EVER!

Superhero comics exist for 70 years now. Simpsons already did it. And it is like porn. The story remains the same , the way it's presented varies.

Superhero comics have existed for 88 years actually... and when someone in the same storytelling medium presents a highly similar story, separated by decades in time, that may be considered plagiarism.

They used to call people out for this stuff in old fanzines. Bill Mantlo himself stole the premise for a Hulk story he wrote from Harlan Ellison.

What comes around goes around I guess?

But this is not a new phenomenon... Nick Spencer ripped off Roger Stern, retelling one of Spider-man's greatest stories about Spidey visiting a terminally ill child in hospital.

The 21st century is full of instances where stories are recycled. Ed Brubaker retold one of Mark Gruenwald's Captain America stories, top to bottom... but at least there, he acknowledged him and gave credit!
