A friend once said to me "I bet most people who write comics have never been in a real fight."
I think about this when I see allllllll the internal narrative captions during fight scenes. It's why I will always love how @DenysCowan handled various fights in @DCComics THE QUESTION
Like, DUDE, I'm not trying to survive this encounter while thinking anything other than how to not get hit, where to hit you, and the innate understanding that the world around us has collapsed to the size of our mutual fighting arena.
Now Bruce Wayne, which is to say BATMAN, 'cause real talk his innate, spiritual name is BATMAN and "Bruce Wayne" is his costume name...Batman is a methodical muthafukka, so yeah, he's always thinking, always sizing people up in combat.
And yeah, we left Cowan QUESTION world to give you some David Mazzucchell BATMAN: YEAR ONE, and here he is rocking DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN, both with writer Frank Miller. The way DAREDEVIL is thinking here, THIS makes sense. Basic thought. His English teacher rolling in her grave.
I'm a crazy editor working on some FIRE SHIZZAT for @HeavyMetalInk on a Saturday, so these are the things that pop up in Editorial Brain.
Also, I'm working with a cool publisher editing a new martial arts project, so my spirit is somewhere in The Zone.
