....its not Bruce under the cowl...

I have this suspiscion only he will be able to work it out immediatly, but in his crazy world , it will be a great joke to go alonbg with...for the moment ?

Two Face MAY realise as he and Robin have such a past?

But Penguin, I dont think he would

(as you cant tell I maintain thesr three as the REAL big Batman villans)

You only thought Bat-Mite was the best part of it. That was blown out of the water in the pre-credit sequence when Ace The Bat Hound shows up to beat up a tiger when fighting Catman! Then we have appearances by various Batman visions including "Red Rain Batman" and "Dark Knight Batman" as well as villains Shaggy Man, Solomon Grundy, Gorilla Grodd and Calendar Man (and quite frankly his entire rogue's gallery in a super Dick Sprang sequence later) whose choice of villain by Bat-Mite leads to a sequence where he decides to ask "Batman Fanboys" what they think. Suddenly the staff of the show is at a table at a convention with an entire audience of fanboys dressed as Batman. One complains that he always felt Batman was best served as "gritty urban avenger" and didn't like the lighthearted tone of the show. Bat-mite then reads a statement from the writers about how "Batman's rich history has allowed for many interpretations" and while it was a "lighter incarnation, was no less valid and true to the character's roots as the tortured avenger crying out for mommy and daddy."

In other words, the show has heard your hater complaints but you can go suck it! And to for one last good-natured nose-thumb, they duplicate the opening of Batman The Animated Adventures...with Bat-Mite in his place.

Wheee! It's the best show ever!

come check it out http://thebatcave.forumotion.net/ :smile:

Now that he's going to be Robin, how are they going to explain yet another dark haired young athlete hanging round Wayne Manor? Is Dick going to adopt him?

It was the weird message from Bruce...


My Dearest Jason...

I can no longer be with you, which for me means around and somewhat there, but not necessarily. In any case, I tried to be a good father to you (provided I know what a good father is). But that is neither here nor there. (Nor am I most of the time).

In the past we've had disagreements over making Gotham safe. From the criminals that is,not us.

In truth, we are too much alike. And upon reconsidering, I have a final gift for you. Lightning struck me twice and gave insight!

Son, you were right. It isn't enough to break bones anymore. Times change, and we must change with them.

Go forth in your rage. Riot and raze, bomb and burn in my name. Murder every felon you lay eyes on and clean the streets of Gotham. Run amuck like the madman you are, make daddy proud!

Don't worry about your brothers. They may resist your methods at first, but as the bodies pile up they'll have more free time for dates!

You have my tender blessings on your mission. My dark, twisted love burns for you even across the reaches of time. When I get back we'll talk more about the secret, and whether I'm in any legal trouble!

Sincerely,
Daddy Bat :biggrin:

I'm new here but had a question that maybe somebody could help me out with.

I have searched the net but couldn't really find what I was looking for. Is there a TPB on the split between Batman and Robin (Grayson) and his transformation into Nightwing?

Thanks in advance.

Let's say the Joker does return in Batman 3, what actor would you want to take up the mantle?

So I didn't find any thread like this that was entirely opinion based, and the Towel of Babel thread got me thinking, how powerful should Batman be?

Do guy guys like him as Batgod where he can defeat everyone on the JL spontaneously (except Superman) or a more down-to-eart gritty Batman like year one? This is all your opinion.


I personally like him somewhere around Dark Victory. Mainly, he's an awesome fighter who prepares for situations and is fantastic at figuring stuff out. Plus, at this point he's become confident in his role. But keep in mind I'm not discussing personality at all, just his physical/mental ability. If you guys want to though go for it.
Somewhat on the topic, I also enjoy him having the Bat family, Tim, Dick, Alfred, Oracle, Huntress and Catwoman, but I prefer Jason being dead.

There was a thread like this several months ago, when the titles were first announced, but it seemed premature, as we didn't know who the creators would be or the premise of some of the books. Since they start appearing next Wednesday, and we now know a lot more, I thought it would be a good time to revisit this topic.

Please note that this is different from the other thread currently in circulation asking which of the titles you're looking forward to the most. In this thread we're asking which of the titles you plan to pick up as of right now, and you can vote for any or all of them.

If you have any caveats, you'll have to point them out in a post.

Note: I intentionally did not include Azrael because this book isn't coming out until fall, and it's creative team has yet to be revealed. We can revisit it later.

Co-features are not listed in the poll for lack of space, but they are as follows:

Detective - The Question (Rucka/ Hamner)
Batman: Steets of Gotham - Manhunter (Andreyko/ Jeanty)
