Alfred lol

I wouldn’t say out of the equation. Remember the Titans of Tomorrow arc(s) in which he becomes Batman, despite his current feelings on the scenario.

Does anyone have a opinion on Kingdom Come Superman vs Batman?

Dick Grayson said he didn’t want to be Batman repeatedly as well. But all of the evidence in Nightwing’s own book, Batman RIP and Batman issue 666 is pointing to DG being the next Batman. Can all be misdirection though.

So anyone read the new Batman issue (682)? I think I know what’s going on, but I need someone to confirm or tell me that I’m wrong.

Batman 682

[details=Spoiler]
So, is this after the last issue? Master Simyan and the gold guy (who is he?) found Batman’s body and are using “The Lump” to create perfect clones of Batman to use as an army? “The Lump” is in Batman’s head, posing as Alfred in this dream world, triggering his memories so he can collect them, right? So are some of these things (Batwoman, Doctor Hurt meeting him) we’re seeing events that actually happened or stuff that he’s making up or that The Lump is jumbling up in his head?[/details]

Sorry, I should probably brush up on my Bat History.

Also, JSA 21 was pretty great.

Gog will smite you if you read this prematurely

“Did you just punch a bolt of lightning?”
“Yes.”

So things are going back to the Status Quo, but did anything significant happen in the Superman or Magog one-shots that came out a few weeks ago? I read “The Kingdom”, so I know how that ties in. I’m thinking Superman (Kal-L) is gone after next issue…[/details]

Also, Terror Titans #3

stuff

I kind of don’t understand how Bolt killed his father. I mean the actual mechanics of how it was done. Why was part of him fused to a wall? He can’t teleport things, can he? And Static showing up was pretty cool, but I’m kinda sad I saw it here first[/details]

Wow, I’m inquisitive. Thanks in advance.

Batman

Spoiler

Haven’t read my copy yet but yeah it was confirmed ahead of time that it would take place after RIP and tie things into Final Crisis. Just had time to check the first few pages before heading back to my job but yeah, makes sense that it takes place after with Bruce jacked up and Alfred quiting. Not that I know what happens after what I read and Morrison’s crazy so…

Oh hey read the Batman issue -

Batman

Spoiler

Morrison’s crazy. :rofl: Well I know that he is trying to lump every Batman comic book story ever told within Batman and Detective(regardless of crisises and what not) into one cohesive universe in his run too make a 15 year history for the guy. Hella interesting, gotta say.

ok its been known for awhile but
JSA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.JLA

Shake The Heavens

Hooaah!!

…now where is Rocket?!

(I’d like to get Gear back if we could also!!)

I think Rocket & Gear will appear in the DCU sooner or later.

JLA #27 Preview starring Hardware & the Shadow Cabinet

:rofl: :rofl: They never can get Hardware to do the time warp and update his costume. Hombre forever has the 80’s - 90’s Cable Thing going on :rofl:

Appreciate that bit of info, Signore Cody :tup:. This warms my heart. My uncle gave me his old Milestone comics (I still have Hardware: Angry Black Man on my shelf, one of the few that didn’t get wiped out due to Katrina), which is what got me into comics overall.

I want to get hype. I really do…but something tells me most will become fodder, and that saddens me. I’d hate to see Xombi return, only to get wiped out by “Bolt” or some shit like that.

Fables becoming a tv show???

I had been about to post that. Not sure how to feel about that. I can see quite a bit of Fables not making the transition.

Sorry…but it just does not belong on ABC.

Aw, whatever. As long as Willingham makes enough money to keep on writing comics, I guess it doesn’t matter.

Oh, I agree. HBO maybe? I mean since they passed on Preacher, this might be more of their speed.

Action Comics #872 Preview

Geoff John’s post on comicbloc forums regarding leaving JSA

:crybaby::crybaby:

^^ no!!!

Ack that’s sad to hear, who will be the new writer?

BTW anyone else reading Jonah Hex? That’s among the best titles from DC right now.
