By LaRevolucion44@aol.com (Rokk Krinn) Since zombie Azrael cannot sense any emotional spectrum from Scarecrow, he simply pushes his way past Scarecrow to attack more bystanders. Scarecrow says that nothing can scare him, but the Batman. Flash reassures the 911 workers that the Justice League of America is on the job. Ray says th...

By legacysword@gmail.com (Kevin) Tony Daniel's writing on Battle for the Cowl was very unimpressive. Still, since the end of Battle for the Cowl I have been enjoying the new direction of the Batman universe with Dick Grayson as Batman and where all of the other Batman related characters are at. So let's see how Daniel's does i...

By legacysword@gmail.com (Kevin) Kevin's Review Batman: The Brave and the Bold has been one of those cartoons that I have been very mixed on. It seems this show just alternates between good and bad episodes. And one of the criticisms I had against this show is that so far it has yet to have a very memorable episode. Until now

By legacysword@gmail.com (Kevin) Overall: Red Robin #5 was another disappointing read. There is absolutely no plot progression to the storyline of Tim search for Bruce in this issue or the previous four issues. Unless you are a fan of Tim Drake I do not recommend picking this issue up. Kevin

By legacysword@gmail.com (Kevin) Synopsis: The issue begins with Batman get the hell beat out of him by Two-Face, who is wearing a red and black Batman costume. Two-Face yells at Batman who he thinks he is since the real Batman is dead. Batman then figures out that he has been drugged and is hallucinating Two-Face wearing a Bat...

By LaRevolucion44@aol.com (Rokk Krinn) Synopsis: We begin with Dick crashing the Bat-plane into a cemetery. Dick tells Damien to go to a specific tomb in the graveyard and there he will find a secret passage to Wayne Tower. Dick tells Damien to take Commissioner Gordon and Barbara Gordon back to Wayne Tower. Damien grudgingly leav...

By noreply@blogger.com (Andrenn) Tomasi had a well received run on Nightwing and it shows that he has a great grasp on the Batman family, especially Dick who he shows both as an individual and with his time now as Batman. He’s not going to try and make Dick act like Bruce or have him go for the silent dark knight. He’s going for the s...

By legacysword@gmail.com (Kevin) Batman and Robin #4 – Morrison has been doing a fantastic job with Batman and Robin so far. This is the most fun I have had with reading a Morrison penned series. I'm interested to see what Morrison has in store for Batman and Robin with the Red Hood making an appearance.

By legacysword@gmail.com (Kevin) I also like how Winnick has written Two-Face in this arc. It sort of feels like a continuation of the Nightwing vs. Two-Face storyline we got at the end of the Nightwing series. Winnick has done a nice job building Two-Face into being Dick's version of Joker as he takes up the mantle of Batman. It i...

By noreply@blogger.com (Andrenn) I figured I should mention this part first since the very first thing that caught my attention about this game was that Paul Dini would be writing it. It’s no secret nowadays that Paul Dini wrote for the Emmy winning Batman: the Animated Series, as well as it’s continuation in the New Adventu...

By noreply@blogger.com (Andrenn) Later in the Batmobile, Robin says that it’s going to be Robin and Batman from now on. Batman sarcastically mentions that should catch on as they find Le Bossu (that ugly mofo we all loved so much from Batman R.I.P.) as Batman mentions that this time it’s personal. Bossu mentions that Batman and R...

By noreply@blogger.com (Andrenn) As Robin threatens to drop Hush he instead throws him onto a rooftop where Batman is waiting. They discuss how Robin wants to kill him but Batman insists not to. Batman deduces that Hush is doing this to drain funds for Batman and Robin making it harder for them.

By legacysword@gmail.com (Kevin) Batman ask Robin if he is living in Wayne Manor, wearing a red, yellow, and green uniform, and sitting next to Batman in the Batmobile. Robin says yes. Batman tells Robin that he is part of everything that he wanted. Batman tells Robin to shut up.

By noreply@blogger.com (Andrenn) Joker Graphic Novel Written: Frank Miller Of course it isn’t just Batman and Robin here. We see Batgirl, Black Canary, the Joker, Catwoman and the Justice League. Miller stuffs his own universe into All Star Batman and it really works as we get lots of great moments between them all.

By noreply@blogger.com (Andrenn) Overall: Streets of Gotham easily could be the best Batman Reborn book out there. It has all the making to outlast and outclass Batman and Robin and show that Batman doesn’t need over the top action just to be enjoyable and that there is a lot more to Gotham then Batman and Robin.

By legacysword@gmail.com (Kevin) Benny asks if this is to get the Penguin arrested by the cops. Two-Face says it is not the cops. Benny catches on and says Two-Face wants to get the Batman on the Penguin's case. Two-Face responds by saying "Yes. I want him going after Penguin. But he's not Batman." End of issue.

By LaRevolucion44@aol.com (Rokk Krinn) One of the cops next to Gordon asks if both Batman and Robin used to be taller. The cop adds that Batman also sounded different. Gordon says that Batman sounded different but familiar. Gordon adds that he has also seen Robin before. Gordon and the two cops then follow Dick and Damien into the buil...

By legacysword@gmail.com (Kevin) Batman: The Brave and the Bold Batman: The Brave and the Bold continues to do an excellent job with the opening segments.

By noreply@blogger.com (Andrenn) After a strong opening to Batman Reborn with Batman and Robin #1, I was hopeful that the trend would continue with Paul Dini’s new ongoing series: Batman: Streets of Gotham. After all, Dini did an incredible job on Detective Comics (when he wasn’t resurrecting Ra’s Al Ghul) so giving him hi...

By LaRevolucion44@aol.com (Rokk Krinn) Catwoman then asks what if she cleans up Gotham. What then? Will Batman then retire? Batman answers that cleaning up Gotham will never happen. Catwoman slips free from the cuffs. Catwoman says that her parents were killed, too. Catwoman says that Batman is not alone. Catwoman then disappears. Batman just stands there. The first story would be the "death" of the Golden Age Batman. The second story would be the death of the Silver Age Batman. This could be the metaphysical interpretation of how DC "killed" the Golden Age Batman to give us a much different Silver Age Batman. And then years down the road, DC "killed" the Silver Age Batman to give us the much different post-1986 version of Batman.   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Writer: Grant Morrison We shift to Dick in his Nightwing costume and stating that he is going to be on his own with the Teen Titans. We cut to Bruce telling Alfred how time has flown by. Bruce stares at the display case with the Robin outfit in it. Bruce tells Alfred to say goodbye to the Batcave. That it is now just Bruce, Alfred and Gotham City. The Silver Age love interest is none other than the real Kathy Kane also known as Batwoman. Kathy Kane first appeared in Detective Comics #233 in 1956. Batwoman was then killed in Detective Comics #485. DC then retroactively erased Batwoman from Batman’s continuity via Crisis on Infinite Earths.   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Batman #677 Final Crisis #1 Giant Sized Astonishing X-Men #1 Marvel 1985 #1 The Winner: Batman #677 However, I had to give The Che for the best read of the week to Morrison’s other title: Batman #677. I have already glowingly praised this issue in my review. Suffice it to say that Morrison is blowing my mind with his Batman RIP story arc. This is an incredibly crafted mystery story. Action Comics #865 Daredevil #107 The Winner: Action Comics #865 However I had to give the award for Most Surprising Read of the week to Action Comics #685. This was a great little read. I was already to dismiss this issue as pure filler. That Action Comics #865 was just an effort by Johns to burn some pages and waste time until the next major story arc. I was wrong.   [read the full post]
