This coming Tuesday marks the last issue that ties to Batman: Fear State meaning the event is over. The event was marketed as a large story tying into other Bat-Books and leaving a lasting impact on the future of Gotham City. While some of that was true, most of its legacy is non-existent. James Tynion had an incredible run with the Bat-Books over the past decade, but it seems like his overall run ended prematurely. And for once it doesn’t seem like DC Comics is to blame. Instead, Tynion is movi...

The Batman films have been typically at least two hours long and it seems to do a disservice to the talent...
