Comic Book Review: Batman #678: Batman RIP
We then get to see Bruce donning an outlandish Silver-Age costume. Bruce then calls himself the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh. Luckily, a Google image search revealed that some diligent person scanned in a picture of the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh from Batman #113 published in 1958. And we can tell that Morrison has Bruce dressed in the same costume as the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh from Batman #113. Morrison is now doing the same thing with Batman. However, there is one critical difference. Superman’s char...   [read the full post]

The results for best read of the week were as follows: Action Comics #868 Batman #679 Fantastic Four #559 The Winner: Batman #679 Action Comics #868 was another strong issue by Johns. I love how Johns is tweaking Brainiac’s character in order to properly mesh him into New Earth’s continuity.

By ComicList When Batman has a minute with his little buddy we get the low down on what happened to Batman. Batman has lost Bruce Wayne. The man that was Bruce Wayne is gone now. The Batman that remains is the personality that exists without the Bruce Wayne half of Batman. This Batman is the personality of another Batman – called Zur-en-arrh. Basically, Batman took a Batman personality from another world or dimension and adopted it as his backup personality if the Bruce character went down. It’s complicated, but it is so cool and creative. Robin, is still on the run from the villains and he calls in some allies of some sort (from some other arc I presume).
