Just exerting some prevailing dread on the comic through two words on a black panel is probably as effective and threatening as he's ever been.

I was gonna come in and say that FC was definitely not a very good series in retrospect, but this part is nonetheless absolutely correct.

idk, Batman brandishing baby Darkseid like a weapon was the one highlight of Metal

Serious question, does anyone even give a poo poo about final crisis? Like it wasn't terrible but it was pretty forgettable. The best part was Superman Beyond and that was only two issues.

How many are five-issue miniseries that only serve to set up a much longer crossover and are included in the omnibus for said crossover?

I see you're trying to confuse my logic circuits, but I'm going with Electric Blue because I'd like to see what he'd do with him in a solo title. Electric Superman in the era of smart phones and social media? Blue boys real sin was being ahead of his time.

What's on your mind, Axa?
Electric Blue, but mainly because I think it's super dumb and I can't wait for the trade.

Speaking of dumb '90's things, they're reprinting Knightfall again? But even more comprehensively than before? It's going to be in 7 volumes, so I guess they want to get everything this time. Third (fourth, counting the omnibuses?) times the charm I guess. Knightfall is one of those stories I want to read, but the sheer size, and price, makes it one that I've never really been able to justify to myself in-store.

Catwoman #1
Writer/Artist: Joëlle Jones
Colorist: Laura Allred
Variant Cover Artist: Stanley “Artgerm” Lau
The wedding night’s barely over, but Catwoman’s back on the streets, this time to expose a copycat who’s pulling heists around Gotham City. As Selina cracks the whip on her former criminal cohorts, she’s attracting unwanted attention from one of Gotham’s most dangerous groups. The mob? Nope. Try the GCPD. And as if the Bat-Bride didn’t have enough problems, don’t miss the debut of an all-new villain determined to make trouble for all nine of Selina’s lives. Don’t miss the start of an all-new monthly series written and illustrated by Eisner Award-nominee Joëlle Jones!

edit: From the panel,
Sounds like the Booster Gold story coming up in Batman is about him inadvertently causing Bruce to never be born. Dick Grayson rises as Gotham's protector, but without Bruce's guidance, he's basically The Punisher.

I really wanted to see more of McDuffy's version where Batman with gun was because he saw a Western the night of his parents' death instead of Zorro and thus is now in all white (iirc, he was called Paladin or something)

Everyone forgets Dirty Harry doesn't save anyone and his early brutality leads to a killer being released on a technicality that let's him kill again. Yeah, he gets the guy in the end, but if he'd actually followed the rules fewer people would be dead.

Presume they went to see the Antonio Banderas Zorro movie in 1998. Except they decided not to go to the cinema that week. Instead they waited and went out to see the next weekend's big new movie. Saving Private Ryan.

And so young Bruce is inspired to become Arm-Fall-Off Boy.
