Batman Titles (2009)

[thee great one]

So, Azrael.

I so guessed that Azrael is

Spoiler

Lane, the Third Batman

.

I think it's an interesting, sensible direction for the character.

Yes. I am loving the idea. But I kinda disappointed cause

Spoiler

I wanted to see Valley come back.

I don't like

Valley

. He was pretty crappy.

Spoiler

Lane

is already more interesting.

Just read Azrael: Death's Dark Knight. The story is whatever but the art is gorgeous! Also, does anyone know the name of the skullfaced guy that shows up with the team of villains? Whoever he is, he looks ruttin awesome!

I don't read Marvel or DC ongoings anymore (unless you count Criminal and Wildcats) but I saw Irving was on art so I had to have a look.

 

[Captain Canuck]

ooooooohhhhh, i get it,

Spoiler

Jean-Paul Valley

isn't

Spoiler

the third ghost of Batman,

but

Spoiler

Lane (aka the third ghost of Batman/Bat-devil)

is working for

Spoiler

the Order of Saint Dumas

and has taken the title of

Spoiler

Azrael

...that makes more sense

It's been a week. I think we can discuss it sans Spoilertext now.

 

[Captain Canuck]

i don't know, i don't actually READ any Batman comics. I just ask annoying questions and try to piece together what's happening.

Judd Winnick shares why everyone loved his Batman story.

nothing really interesting there

Though he does confirm that the Batman in his title will be the same one as the Batman in Morrison's title and I thought Winick would want to write a Jason Todd Batman.

I was hoping Winnick would be writing Jason Todd as Batman.

Me too. I'd rather Morrison have full control over the Dick Grayson Batman.

 

[Zombipanda]

Well, it's really just Winnick I'm worried about. I don't mind Dini or Nicieza or Rucka playing with the new Batman in their books.

I think two Batmans running around Gotham over the course of a year or so could be cool.

 

[Ultimate Houde]

I enjoyed Man-Bat.

 

[E]

I enjoyed Man-Bat.

That sounds so dirty.

 

[Ultimate Houde]

That sounds so dirty.

It was kinda tasted like wild deer.

 

[Langsta]

I really like Frank Quitely's version of the characters. The art for Batman and Robin #1 looks nice.

Does the batmobile have a ginormous red windsheild shaped like a bat?

is that new?

it looks kinda dumb

maybe it's like a red-breasted robin-mobile

The Batmobile has looked dumber. I think this one looks pretty sleek and cool. The problem is that the Nolan movies have made it difficult for me to enjoy some of the fantasy elements of Batman....but Grant Morrison can make anything seem awesome, no matter how fantastical or camp....and Quitely is a perfect match for Morrison.
