Actually there’s a twist ending to batman #50. In the last page they reveal selina was manipulated by bane and holly into leaving bruce bc bane wanted to break emotionally bruce. They show bane with all the other villains-who look super happy lol-and it’s revealed flashpoint thomas wayne and gotham girl are on bane’s side too. Idk what this means for the future but it’s not encouraging tbh

I’ve seen that last page on a quest to find out if Joker survived #49 and yeeeeeeeeeeah it looks… weird. And kind of convoluted. I’m not liking the implication that it wasn’t Selina’s own decision, which it should be (and I do think it’s the right one, and that she should have come to it much sooner than after 40+ issues but okay)

I guess we’ll see after #50 actually drops. Selina’s own new solo has her leaving Gotham, so maybe they’ll cool it a bit before attempting to matchmake Batman again. Fingers crossed.

I do feel genuinely bad for the retailers. The #50 fiasco is already hitting them hard, if reports are to be believed, and it’s no wonder – leaking such a huge plot detail 3 days in advance of the actual issue, and telling everyone ahead of time that the huge event they’d hyped for a whole fucking year is actually a non-event, is… not… a good marketing move. 

Comic stores are gonna bear the brunt of it once everyone starts cancelling their pre-orders in disappointed rage, and anyone who knows anything about comics knows that comic stores are already an endangered species. If the sales for this much-hyped issue drop as much as people currently fear they will, this is gonna be hard for them to bounce back from. That’s a very real consequence of DC’s fucked up marketing, and it really isn’t fair for the retailers to have to pay the price for this idiocy. 

Today is a happy day for us BatJokes shippers. Joker has saved us all!

I’m seeing some spoilers now that it was actually… Bane? Involved in this somehow??? okay DC we already know Bane is a batjokes shipper whatever

LOL. Don’t scream victory yet. With the flames being burnt on Tom King’s twitter DC may actually reconsider and make the marriage canon in the future

I mean yeah sure it might still happen at some point in the future and King may even attempt to do it again after this in his own run

but if they do that is a problem for Future Me and after a year of near-constant anxiety and resentment and rage over this entire plotline let me enjoy one night of “oh thank GOD” that’s all I ask

GUYS GUYS WE’VE BEEN SAVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
