One needs to take a series of cheapshots like Thomas did here, too.

Listing some contenders, but feel free to add some of your own:

1. Batman

2. Daredevil

3. Dick Grayson

4. Moon Knight

5. Black Canary (no scream)

Meh...I hate that scene.

laughing out loud

It was prety absurd, wasn't it.

What did you hate the most about it? The fact that a powerless, beaten up geezer could stomp them like that? Or maybe the art was bad enough?

I saw maybe 2-3 clean blows to the mouth area. I'm sure the suit helped a bit with the other blows. Wouldn't you say Stilt?

StiltmanFTW
Maybe somewhat, yeah. He still ended up in a puddle of his own blood, though.

I don't know how good Thomas' batsuit is, but I'd wager his mask does offer some protection.

Anyway, those blows did affect him to a good degree and he still stomped the team.

I'm sure someone like the Punisher wouldn't have any trouble soaking that damage up, but I don't know if he could take the batsidekicks immediately afterwards.

Then again, Rebirth seemed to nerf a lot of them?

Senor Cage
Not entirely a bad scene, since Thomas is amped with Miriclo or whatever it's called. He's basically like Bane/Captain America. Nobody on that list can duplicate that feat. Cassandra Cain was there ffs.

Miraclo, you mean? Hourman's drug?

Any version of Cassandra (that isn't pre-flashpoint) sucks and you know it, Golgo.

Senor Cage
Batman said he cant beat Cassandra.

Yeah, I'd say Moon Knight, Punisher and Bats on that list. Then maybe Onomatopoeia:

Takes four arrows and is still fighting:

Takes a beating from Bats (including having his wrist and leg broken) and still up for a fight:

ewwww at the drawing

Senor Cage
Grayson got one-shotted by Cassandra. So, it's highly impressive that Thomas withstood her beating.

Onomatopoeia lost to Damian.

seems like thorbags are not just delusional about thor, but all facets of life

StiltmanFTW
MK does take severe beatings and keeps coming, that's his whole thing:

Though if Thomas was indeed amped on Miraclo there, it changes a lot.

DarkSaint85
He used to take it on Earth 2. Not sure if "reboot" Thomas still has it.

Read Moon Knight (2006) #2. Ya welcome.

StiltmanFTW
MK is like Rocky... his fighting style and philosophy is about taking hits and keep moving forward.

Originally posted by Senor Cage

Don't know if that version used Miraclo. I definitely don't remember it being stated in the story itself.

StiltmanFTW
Thanks, Galan.

You catch Golgo spreading misinformation again, it's a ban for three years + we get him fired from DC as a bonus, okay?


--
On a serious note... Thomas being on Miraclo would explain the scene perfectly, to be honest.

Galan007
laughing out loud

And yeah, the showing would make a LOT more sense if he was using Miraclo, so hopefully I'm just not remembering something. An old man being able to easily solo some of DC's top streets unaided doesn't sit well with me... Wayne or not.

DarkSaint85
You aren't misremembering.

Senor Cage
I thought they were the same, my bad. Makes Thomas more bad ass if he wasn't using Miraclo. Kinda like being the Punisher, times ten.

Galan007
Oh it's a beastly showing alright.

But it's also pretty f*cking stupid, imo.

Senor Cage
Yeah, especially with Cassandra Cain there. One-shotted Dick, got the upperhand on Jason, and even Batman said he couldn't beat her in a real fight.

Thomas beat her and everyone else.

Maybe Orphan was just having a very, very, very off day.

Just the casualness of the beatdown. The art, the dialogue, the fact that DC hates Grayson...so much stuff to complain about

Senor Cage
I dont think that's the case. Tom King ranks the Batfamily.

Hmmm? Why?

They've wanked the shit out of him for years.

ShadowFyre
That was pretty insane. None of them imo.

As far as street level ma goes, the bat family is definitely top tier. Even the kids

SquallX

StiltmanFTW
But it's Thomas, not Bruce... and he obliterated 3/4 of the actual Batfamily.

I understand that, but he still gains the Bats family ability to jump 100x his weight class without any proper explanation. That showing right there was him jumping that shark.

ShadowFyre
I completely understand why some are upset though. It's pretty stupid. I'm always assumed there was unwritten law within the bat family that they are only allowed to dial it up on everyone else. Not each other.

Bane eventually beat Thomas in their h2h sparring.

Yet Batwoman (and her sidekick, forgot the name) were able to handle Bane. Using gadgets, iirc, but still.

So there's no excuse for Batwoman and a damn big part of the Batfamily not to take care of Thomas... especially since they had him on the ropes already.

Quantity over quality.

Both Marvel and DC want to release as many issues as possible, regardless of the quality of the writing/art.

I know I've mentioned this before, but it just royally irritated me in the "City of Bane" arc, because we went from getting quality art like this:

It's been years since any wank imo and Todd/Damian get more fsn service. Tim gets more lip service, Dick is like the ken-doll of the bat-fam..everyone thinks he's pretty but noone respects him not anymore.

Basically. There are better amateur artists. He is really subpar

Hasn't he been able to produce rather good art... before he decided to copy his father's style, I mean?

He got the better of Batman himself.

He slapped Midnighter around like the little b!tch he is.

He humiliated Paragon (or whatever his name was), whose powerset was basically that of an Amazo.

He survived getting shot in the damn brain.




Sin... Dick collected enough feats, seriously. Let him rest for a while.

Galan007
Yeah, his oldschool Spidey art was actually quite good.

But anything he's done in the last decade+ is just an embarrassment to the industry.

StiltmanFTW
He keeps getting worse, imho.

He will never reach Bruce's level.

Bruce is the original gangsta, Dick is some chippendale whoring himself out for old ladies.

If this was when Didio was still editor, it might be due to his involvement. That guy has the most famous hateboner for Grayson and Wally

That guy hates sidekicks like they owe him money, especially when they take over from the original heroes.

If, imo if he had been at Marvel he would have made a mincemeat out of Bucky Cap ,.Miles Morales and Kamala Khan stories

StiltmanFTW
Bucky Cap could use some low showings...
