Yours is a generous reading of the situation; I think it's more that Dark Knight was meant to take place in its own pocket continuity, but that never sticks; witness Dark Knight's troubled handling of Damian's death, too.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-12504385018062463242016-05-23T14:15:50.321-05:002016-05-23T14:15:50.321-05:00I was a bit frustrated with the Dark Knight Storie...I was a bit frustrated with the Dark Knight Stories because the other Batman titles had a clear continuity and it couldn't be placed between other Volumes of those titles. I only realized really late that unlike the other 3 titles that could clearly be placed together like a puzzle to get the timeline, the Dark Knight series was taking place at the same time as those other series as a kind of really long side story and not between Volumes of the other series. It was only at the moment that Bruce his girlfriend in the Dark Knight story died and it was mentioned in another one of the titles as taking place at the same time, that it became clear for me. I felt really slow for taking that long to realize.PeterBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-41412151306981984142016-05-23T10:24:22.022-05:002016-05-23T10:24:22.022-05:00"... Dark Knight was one Batman title too man..."... Dark Knight was one Batman title too many.". I could not agree more. Even before the New 52, the "Dark Knight" series seemed completely unnecessary to me. I am convinced that it was created for the sole reason of enticing David Finch over to DC. My belief is that he said he wanted to do Batman, so they created this title so that he could (a la Marvel and Todd McFarlane's Spider-Man series in the 90s). Waynenoreply@blogger.com
