WELCOME ALL-NEW BATMAN

“And where is the Batman?!” Jack Nicholson’s Joker famously asked Gotham City in Tim Burton’s Batman.

He’s right here in the pages of Batman #41 and he’s absolutely badass.

Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Mark Doyle and the rest of Team Batman could have kept on with a winning formula. After The New 52 rebirth featuring Bruce and the Bat family against the Court of Owls, Batman faced The Death of the Family in a battle with the Joker, then went back to Zero Year for a origin filled thriller against The Riddler and finally a game-changing rematch The Joker in Endgame – they could have redefined a classic villain with an action-packed epic sure to keep satifying fans. Instead the team have taken a huge creative risk and by the first chapter alone it’s going to be huge payoff. Continue reading WELCOME ALL-NEW BATMAN

BATMAN ENDGAME FINALE

The cover to BATMAN #40 is mythical as a Dark Knight battles a dragon. This issue will be pivotal to the mythical rivalry between the two greatest arch-enemies in comics.

The finale of “Endgame” is almost here. This is  ultimate (and final ?) showdown between the Dark Knight and the Joker by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo.

A virus has turned Gotham City into a horror show with citizens transformed into a cross between Joker and the infected as seen in 28 Days Later.

The Joker was really Batman’s Arkham Asylum ally Eric Border and evidence suggests the Clown Prince of Crime may be immortal.

The cure to saving everyone lies inside the Joker’s body but will Batman be able to carve it out of him? Continue reading BATMAN ENDGAME FINALE
