Morrison Plots VENGEANCE OF BATMAN

Batman Incorporated #6 courtesy DC Comics

Damian Wayne is dead. Time for Bruce Wayne’s revenge. Robin is a casuality in the war between Bruce and Talia Al Ghul. Grant Morrison talked with Comic Book Resources about his final Batman Incorporated issues:

“Well, the next three issues are basically “Vengeance of Batman.” He’s been pushed too far. He underestimated Talia, and then Talia horribly underestimated him. That’s really what it’s all about. And part of this is that we didn’t want to do Jason Todd again. We didn’t want to leave Batman an emotional cripple. The Batman we’ve presented in this run has been through some pretty bizarre experiences including weird Continue reading Morrison Plots VENGEANCE OF BATMAN

Aftermath of Death In The Batman Family!

The aftermath of Damian’s death in Batman Incorporated #8 will hit the Batman family in three big books this week. It will be hard to follow Batman and Robin #18.

Batman and Red Robin!

Batman and Robin by Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason will continue after the the death of Damian. If you didn’t pick up Batman and Robin #18 I urge you to run to your comic book shop now.

The series will continue with a monthly title change to reflect that issue’s guest star. DC shared a preview of Batman and Red Robin #19 by Tomasi and Gleason. Tim Drake is back in the Batcave in the aftermath of Damian’s death but don’t expect this reunion to be all talk – look who else Continue reading Batman and Red Robin!

BATMAN Writer On New ROBIN Rumor!

Harper Rowe is the kick-ass creation of Scott Snyder. The tough teen from The Narrows saved the Dark Knight during Snyder’s The Court of Owls epic. Rowe is back in this week’s Batman #18 in the aftermath of Damian’s death. Will Harper be the next Robin?

“(Laughs)No! I feel badly that everybody is assuming that just because she’s there right afterwards, we were trying to position her as the new Robin. But I can tell you honestly, everybody reading this…she’s not designed to be Robin. I’m not going to give away what happens…whether she would BE Robin or not. But, what the creation of Harper Row was really about was creating a lens for me personally that I could relate to in Gotham, that would be like, a kid, or somebody struggling, as a young person, you’re trying to make ends meet, you’re in this place that’s really tough, nobody believes in you and you have this incredible superhero in town that’s doing these things that inspire you,” Snyder tells MTV Geek.

“So, the genesis of that character has nothing to do with the mythology Continue reading BATMAN Writer On New ROBIN Rumor!

Scott Snyder Talks BATMAN YEAR ZERO

How did Bruce become the Bat? Scott Snyder follows The Court of Owls and Death of the Family with an eleven part blast into the past. Batman Year Zero will reveal the New 52 early beginnings of the Dark Knight. Snyder reveals why he wanted to tell this story:

“It’s definitely me wanting to tell this story. It really came about, I guess, about nine or 10 months ago, when I was thinking about trying to redefine, in my mind, for myself, who Bruce is in our run,” Snyder tells Comics Newsarama.

“I was thinking about who he is to Joker, and reconsidering what we were going to do after Joker. And I was just thinking about where he is emotionally, and who he is.

And I had an idea for a story Continue reading Scott Snyder Talks BATMAN YEAR ZERO

Catwoman vs. Penguin!

Remember the movie poster for Tim Burton’s Batman Returns featuring The Bat, The Cat, The Penguin? Michelle Pfeiffer and Danny DeVito oozed hate, traded barbs and turned on each other in the 1992 film.

This June get ready for a comic book rematch as Selena Kyle and Oswald Cobblepot declare war on each other in Catwoman #21. Ann Nocenti and Rafa Sandoval bring you the battle Continue reading Catwoman vs. Penguin!
