i can just imagine that Ghost maker looks at all of Batman sidekicks and thinks "yea they are going to fail" but then he gets to Red Hood "this one has potential"

Can we appreciate how badass Ghostmaker's outfit looks, a white, sleak and futuristic look, a perfect contrast to Batman's old but classic black design.

I completely agree. Batman has always been an Urban-Ninja and Ghost Marker took that concept quite literally. Not only does Ghost Maker look so damn cool but he’s a Bad Ass as well. Definitely one of the cooler characters to join the ranks of the Batman-Family. Ever since I first found out about Him, I’ve been wondering how he would look in live action. Hopefully when WB gets their shit together that they’ll start utilizing characters we’ve never seen in live action. I can totally see someone like Ghost Maker live in the Matt Reeves Batman Universe right there with Robert Pattinson’s Batman.
Looks like secret identities are finally doing the job.

I mean, we the audience still love her because she has a tragic back story and all, but it’s easy to forget how many of the Joker’s atrocities she’s been directly involved in.

The introduction of ghost maker is very cool. The backstory is familiar enough where it doesn't feel repeatative and his belief is also familiar but not exactly the same. His executioner style is like Red Hood, his method is like Batman and his hate on crime is on par with Superman. He's a very intricate character

I like it how Ghost-Maker and Batman have the same goal but has different approaches to achieve that goal
I really love Ghost-maker. He's cool, he's skilled, and most importantly, he's Bruce's equal, and not his kid or soldier. Bruce needs an equal friend his age, especially when Alfred is not around. I'm glad he can help to protect Gotham with Bruce, hope he can stay longer.
I love Ghost Maker. Childhood friends turned enemies then allies always seemed fun to me. I'm eager to see more of him
The Ghost Maker seems like a great character almost like a redeemed Jason Todd or a young Alfred if he took up a mask. I especially like that we have someone who can meet Bruce on his level and talk to him like a friend instead of one of his soldiers or another Hero. Basically we have Batman if he were an Anti-Hero and this dynamic seems like it will be fun to follow.
A historic moment for the Batman Family.

DC needs to stop letting these writers create so many charecters. They are doing it for one reason, you know that right? Its not for the book, or universe. They just want royalties and for the charecter to get put in a game movie or show. Thats the only reason, tynion needs to be stopped.
Ghostmaker sounds like an amazing character. I love it when new characters come out of the unknown lore that doesn't retcon or go against the original story.
Ghost Maker and Red Hood should definitely have their own series just saying

I like that Ghost maker isn't JUST a killer. He's perfectly willing to do so, but he's also willing to take other measures, he's not like Red Hood who almost ALWAYS goes for the killing option.
@idlepotato2221
2 жыл бұрын
Honestly in terms of which one is the worst killer, I would say ghost maker. They haven't showed him sever someone's limbs yet or even kill someone, he just say he does it and he is basically the same age as batman. Him and red hood are the same, he is just more mature and cool headed than red hood. Red hood often murders the shit out of people when he lose his temper. Otherwise he either kills people that deserve it or if he sees they deserve another chance he won't kill them. But now he is just another bat family character because he doesn't kill anymore because he wants to be in batman's good graces which makes sense cuz they family but still..it just takes away from his character.
@christopherauzenne5023
2 жыл бұрын
yeah, I've seen people call him "just another batman that kills" but I see him as something different. To me he's more like a crimefighter but without a base code/or specific set of morals, almost a robotic mentality to his actions and how he should progress (he doesn't kill because madness or "criminals should all get murdered" but more for practical/if A's doing A then option B is available to be done if that makes sense)
I just wanna see Red Hood and Ghost Maker team up.

"No. All wheels on the ground. Built for speed and maneuvering the streets." "Not a tank then." I LOVE this exchange. the casualness of it. It really sells the idea that these guys were once really close.I hope we get more exchanges like this.
We need more comics and characters like this, another amazing character introduced in a Batman comic this is why I love Batman comic and Batman you can always introduce a new characters that you some what relate to or at least see their point of view.

for batman to be open about this, makes me see that he is still growing as a character. normally writers flop this and make him grumpy every time. hope they don't screw up ghost maker as bad as they did with, in my opinion, nightwing and red hood.

Ghost-maker is Bruce. He’s a figment of his imagination. He can’t be heard or seen on video because he isn’t there. Every negative statement Bruce makes about Ghost-maker is something he believes about himself and all the things Ghost-maker says to him are all the criticisms other people have directed at Bruce during his crime fighting career that he’s subconsciously agreed with.
