If you're talking about how many people have been Batman in the comics (mostly Bruce Wayne, but there was that French bastard and Dick Grayson for a bit) do you say Batmen or Batmans?

Batmen. I believe there was a story arc during Morrison's run that was actually called "The Three Batmen", in fact.

A critical aspect: these are examples of Batmen operating simultaneously, a multitude of men sharing batlike traits, but Skwirl was asking specifically about people who donned the singular role of The Goddamn Batman himself.

Yes, there were three Batmen running around simultaneously during Morrison's run (well four, counting The Goddamn Batman), and two were operational post- ROBW.

It's definitely Batmans when you're talking about people fulfilling the singular role of The Goddamn Batman.

Mark Russell announced the story in the same tweet where he broke the news that the second half of the series definitely wasn't happening.

*I'm sure nobody wanted it to sell nothing. They did keep him on to write a very similar thing, only this time couched in a known property.

e: and to the probable chagrin of most in the Funny Panels thread, The Flintstones hasn't been cancelled yet! :toot:

Thanksgiving is coming up soon (or as we call it up here in Canada "Yanksgiving") and with all the poo poo going on in the world and such I figured maybe it would be nice to give thanks to something, and this being a comic book forum I figured I would try make it comicbook related, so I pose the following question to you goons, who are you thankful to for getting you addicted to the world of comicbooks? Who would you like to thank for setting you on this terrible wondrous path?

For me, it would have to be my brother who got me reading comics at a young age by first showing me his Archie comics (while explaining the Archie - Betty - Veronica dynamics) and then let me read all his Batman comics repeatedly so until the covers came off; to my dad for his extensive Mad Magazine collection from years past; and to Saul, the brother of my brother's friend, who let me read his Sandman stuff, and his copy of Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns and such who showed me that there was a world of comics outside of simple Batman and archie tales.
To them I say thanks for getting me to develop an expensive habit, one that I have enjoyed for over 20 years.

I would have to thank the workers of The Great Escape in Nashville! There was just something about that store that made those Knightsend comics on the wall look like the coolest poo poo ever.

Dad. Huge box of 90s comics. This is also the origin of my affection towards the Death of Superman storyline.

I honestly don't know anyone I can thank for that. My dad showed me the old Batman show but mostly he was an abusive shithead who wanted me to be into sports and join the army and anything else was "queer" so I don't see how he deserves thanks for anything.

Thanks, Tim Burton's Batman and the Xmen cartoon! You got me into comic books.

My uncle gave me all his old comics which got me into comics. Also he is an awesome dude who runs a popular gay fashion blog while also being a giant nerd.

My parents and their huge collection of Asterix & Obelix and Lucky Luke collection. Also the guy I knew when I lived in a student house who had a huge comic book collection and was more than happy to share it with me.

Hey everyone. I think I'm gonna log out and take a break from posting for awhile, maybe a week or two, or all through December. I like SA but sometimes it's just really stressful and makes me feel worse than I usually do so I need to like, step back and calm down and stuff. Merry early Christmas BSS.

Honestly probably sensible.

SA has a bad habit of making negative feelings moreso and if you feel yourself getting overwhelmed it's probably better to step away.

Go outside and enjoy some nature. Or go explore your local library, or museum, or art gallery. Enjoy the spaces around you.
