Batman General Discussion

I mean it's not the same photo from Detective #1000.

My stories on AO3.

But how do you know?

(Also, how do you know they didn't take additional photos?)

Because one is on a random rooftop and the other is in the Batcave with far fewer people.

This vs this.

My stories on AO3.

But, again, they could have taken another picture later on. And in Detective Comics #1000, we clearly see Batgirl's new costume and Nightwing's blue costume at the same time, so there isn't any continuity errors I can see.

But also, can they revert Batgirl's costume back to the Burnside one? I don't really like her new one, it's too meh.

Unrelated to the Pennyworth oneshot, I wound up grabbing a few different Batman comics today and...

Its kind of incredible that at this time last year, Cassandra Cain was only in one comic. But now she’s shown up in 3 or 4 on the same week.

I know the movie has to play a part in it, but I can’t help but feel like Cassandra is getting pushed a bit harder than Renee Montoya or Huntress or Black Canary have been, at least on the comics side of things.

Her first appearance was reprinted, along with her appearing in Outsiders, the Birds of Prey miniseries, and soon, the next D Ceased miniseries. In the latter, she’s even going to appear as Batgirl.

Combined with the 5g rumors, I can’t help but wonder if they’re gearing up to have Babs become Oracle with Cass as Batgirl again.

Yes, please. As long as they don't have Babs become Oracle due to getting shot / because of the Joker again. Have it be something else.

I'm confused as to what you're talking about. I never said anything about continuity errors.

Sorry, Zarius did in their initial complaint:

Cass getting a bigger push in recent times at least partly due to the movie is somewhat amusing due to the movie version being absolutely nothing like the comic incarnation.

Man I should really collect Cass' Batgirl series.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Speaking of Cass what’s the word on that new shadow of the Batgirl GN that came out recently?

I haven’t gotten a copy yet but the word is “amazing” according to friends.

Wouldn't be the first time this sort of thing happened. Look at Gwen Stacy.

The DCAU returns to comics. Paul Dini, Alan Burnett, and Ty Templeton reunite for Batman-The Adventure Continues, a digital first six-issue mini-series

Why would the DCAU deal with Jason, though? Animated Tim basically took over that role.

Wake me up at your own risk.

Unrelated to anything here, but I’m quite amazed at the fact Roberta the Girl Wonder has a character sheet at the Nightwing love interests part.

If there's a book you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. Toni Morrison

Today's Batgirl was a lot of fun, very 'out there' plot with the dragon slaying business, and at least the writers are respecting Babs' intelligence when it comes to crushing on Jason Bard. She spends most of the issue working out just what she wants from the relationship and how to move past his previous actions, Bard somewhat helps this along with how he helps her fight off the dragon and almost gives his life...but then there's a great twist involving him towards the end that leaves Babs thinking, even after all that she's processed in the issue, that he's still a jerk.

Another new character coming to Batman for 'Joker War'...Clownhunter.

io9 shows the scan of what would have happened had Jason Todd lived.

Over in Catwoman, everything from the run so far is tied up, Selina's nemesis is killed by her own zombified son, and Selina decides to head back to Gotham, taking her sister with her. The story will conclude in the 80th anniversary Catwoman special

Rumor: Kotaku's Jason Schreier heard that Warner Brothers were planning to have their first ever Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) presentation in June to announce a new Batman game (among others), but this year's E3 has been canceled and Schreier is unsure of what they will do.

Tom King's story is previewed Selina discovers she's preggers

I see a Helena Wayne.

I'll teach you a lesson about just how cruel the world can be. That's my job, as an adult.

King confirmed his story was called Helena

I wonder if this is a preview of his Batman/Catwoman run?
