By TheAnswerMVP2001 Originally Written Saturday , June 25, 2005 Well I just returned from Batman Begins, the IMAX Experience, and it definitely was an experience.

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) The Followers of The Revolution voted for Batman #679 to win The Che for the best comic book of the week. And it was not even remotely close as Batman #679 absolutely crushed the competition this week. Action Comics #868 came in a very distant second in this poll. 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. Johns has taken every version of Brainiac from the Silver Age up to the present and repackaged them into one cohesive character.   [read the full post]

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). Batman cleans up some bottom feeders and takes one captive. Meanwhile, Commissioner Gordon is taken captive wh...   [read the full post]

By Lewis Wallace SAN DIEGO -- Heath Ledger's psychotic portrayal of The Joker in The Dark Knight might win him a posthumous Oscar. But the late actor's shocking role in Christopher Nolan's Batman sequel has already won him a spot in the hearts -- and on the faces -- of comics fans.

By hecklerspray staff The film, as you should be aware by now, is a sequel to Batman Begins which rebooted the Bat franchise in a world rooted in reality. The Dark Knight not only continues the theme but expands it into something completely fresh and riveting.
