This Fall, The Scarecrow is sending Gotham City straight to Hell, and it’s up to Batman and his allies to stop it!
Fear State is a horror themed Gotham City event that unifies plot threads started in DC’s fan-favorite publishing events, DC Future State and Infinite Frontier. Fear State not only continues The Scarecrow’s vision of a fear-controlled Gotham, but also Mayor Christopher Nakano’s mission to protect the city with his ground-breaking deal with The Magistrate.
A new status quo?!! I haven’t been so excited since the last new status quo . . . a few months ago and the few months before that one. Man, I really hope that “Batman will never be the same again” and/or “Gotham will be changed forever” and hopefully they throw in a “bold new direction”.
Sorry, I’m definitely the cliche cynical fan at this point but the nonstop new status quo stuff is why I read fewer books than ever.
I just can’t with Tim/Jace. I don’t get why he would be Batman i.e little to no connection with Bruce. I fell off hard before that book got to the point. But yes let’s wrap an event around him.
Is this how some people feel about Terry McGinnis Batman Beyond? I like Terry and I can clearly see what led him to Bruce and Batman. With Tim/Jace I don’t even know what is up with his name.
I hate how much I agree w/ this. There are just far too many events/arcs that seem way more focused on the hype and upping the stakes than on actually telling a good story. Events like this that have a bunch of crossovers and one-shots just give off a bad 1st impression. I’m not saying it’s impossible that this’ll be any good, but I’m definitely skeptical to say the least
I hate most event comics and certainly am against this idea of making everything an event. If a limited series needs the reader to go through a bunch of tie ins and other issues to be understandable then it sucks.
as I said in another thread always up for Scarecrow getting his time to shine as a bat villain.
