So, I Started Reading Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

[Winter]

For those coming in late Wayne Family Adventures is a webcomic by DC Comics in collaboration with Webtoon where the comic is being released, and it's honestly a lot of fun. Long Story Short it's a Slice of Life with the Batfamily as we spend time with them when their not fighting crime. There's little to no action, everyone pokes fun at the tropes of Superhero genre (without every breaking the fourth wall) and it's a lot of fun.

Seriously, this series is a lot of fun and it's just nice to read a superhero story that doesn't include the fate of the world and seeing the Batfamily being A Family. I love seeing them fight over a cookie, I love seeing them have a game night with the loser wearing a silly outfit for a week. I love seeing why Bruce never brings any of his kids to a Gala, I love seeing Bruce being embraced because his kids heard him flirting with Selena and I love seeing everyone failing to make a pie as a welcome home present for Alfred (and Alfred's horrified reaction to said result).

I also love how they don't shy away from some of the sadder elements of the series like how Cass can't stop seeing what people are thinking through their body language, or Duke learning how being a superhero can hurt or even ruin some parts of ones personal life while also showing how the Batfamily does what it can to help Gotham even when their NOT doing their superhero thing and how Proud Bruce is of them for that.

I also like the art style as it's really expressive and lends itself well for comedy without going into full on Chibi or anime style.

Honestly, my only complaint is how the comic is formatted which is an issue I have with most of Webtoon's posts. To show what I mean let's look at the same comic that is posted on Webtoon and my preferred art site DeviantArt, that comic being The Queen and the Woodborn.

Here's the lasted chapter from the series starting with Webtoon's

And here's the one from DeviantArt

See the difference? The Webtoon's version has several blank spaces that are occupied by nothing but brown space while the DeviantArt version has no such gaps and as a result it looks at lot better. But as bad as it is with TWATW it's even worse with BWFA as there are white blank spaces that take up a full page and sometimes even MORE then one page. I've scrolled down for a solid 3 to 5 seconds and saw nothing but WHITE before the imaged showed up. It looks and feels a little ugly.

I don't mind if there's nothing but a character onscreen and like I said the art is good but I would like to actually SEE something instead of...

Sometimes it's not to bad like Opening up Part 2 but most of the time it ruins otherwise fun moments and I don't care for it.

But other than that I highly recommend checking this out for the solid price of IT'S F#CK1ING FREE WITH FEW TO NO ADDS!!!

I see your point on the two presentation styles. The one on Deviant Art is, well, more artful.
But, is Webtoons meant to be seen on a computer or on a phone? Because the blocks it used felt sized for that kind of viewing. Scroll to the next image. Where the more comic like image would possibly get hard to scroll through?

Muenster-loving BATCOW is in this? Best. Bat-comic. In the last DECADE!

But seriously, fun Batman is best Batman, and THIS is fun Batman.

Thanks.

I got through the Pennyworth show on HBO some time ago. It's got tons of action and throws a charming British spin on things, but it's also completely out of the standard landscape of Gotham or DC for that matter.
