There's nothing objectively wrong with the art. Anatomy is on point, the poses aren't stiff, the faces are expressive, the narrative is captured perfectly, etc. You can look at these pages without dialogue, and still understand where the characters are, what they're doing, and what they're feeling, which is the most important thing for comic art to achieve. Send this art off to any college illustration class and it'd pass all judging criteria with flying colors.

For some reason, comic fans tend to have a hard time saying "This doesn't appeal to me personally, but it still has value and others are free to enjoy it". Instead we end up with a lot of "This shouldn't exist!" and "If you like this, you're wrong!" and, if I may invoke you, "You don't actually like it, you just want to be a contrarian!".

Backlash against a comic drawn in a non-typical style? COLOR ME SHOCKED!

Ha, glad I don't spend any money on DC. A confusing and pointless event if there ever was one

Know what would be really awesome? If all the nay say'ers volunteered at a children's hospital, or donated some money to charity as a form of silent protest. How many y'all in?

kinda weird, i see people die in my neighborood by bullet wounds, with their mothers weeping uncontrollably over the dead body to no avail.. yet to society that is a "win." One less mexican scum on this planet, infesting america whilst stealing all the jobs. Same fate awaits me, even if I do make it top college, and no one will care

@theblackhood: Turning a city into gotham for 1 kid or helping 50 kids like him, which do you think is better? They both cot the same. DO you think all those people that came from all over the world to witness this came for the boy? I am a Muslim and every good muslim donates 2.5% of their money each year to various charities so yeah, I think I'm doing something. The money I donate goes to more than 1 kid who had a disease but was still able to afford food, to real people who need help.If someone donated money for his operation or medicine or something then that is okay but donating money to make him think he is batman? that is just a waste!

This is a very good point; however, how do you know the people on here aren't making a difference? You can make a difference in people's lives in rather small ways. Also, I don't think they are saying that people shouldn't have helped the kid nor that the kid should've been helped differently. I think people are trying to say that most of the people who attended the event or who are going to go watch the move or who tweeted a hashtag about the film were insincere. They were doing the right thing, but only because they wanted to feel better about themselves or because they wanted to look good, and not out of concern for the child. I don't know whether or not this is true, but the Western world does have a legitimate problem with narcissism, that other cultures don't have. A narcissist is incapable of feeling for other people, unless it benefits the narcissist.

But I'm not criticizing this event at all. I'm simply playing Devil's advocate, and trying to explain why some people might criticize this event.

But they do bring up a good point. If you want to be a good person, you need to help people everyday, all the time in your life. Events like this are nice, but we need to make sure we're always doing the right thing and for the right reasons. So its a good thing that nothing is above criticism, because nothing is ever really as black and white as people originally think.

But I really don't know enough about the people who attended this event to know what their intentions were or anything like that, and I really don't think anyone truly knows that.

I think people are saying, if you want to make a difference, you need to do the right thing and help people 24/7. Not just one time. I've had times in my life that were REALLY difficult, and there was nobody there to help me. Sure, I didn't have cancer, but that doesn't mean what I went through was easy. And I know other people have had similar experiences. So, for those people, it seems rather hypocritical for virtually everyone come out of the woodwork to help one child, when there are literally an innumerable number of people on the planet who need help, and will never get it. Sort of like, if you're at the shipwreck of the Titanic, saving survivors, and everyone pulls one child out of the ocean, and then immediately calls it a day, and goes home. That's where the criticism of this event is coming from, IMO.

However, it is nice that people were willing to help this child.
