If you look, Alfred is holding her old Batgirl costume.

At least now Dustin Nguyen can stop sneaking Steph and Cass into panels and just sneak Cass into panels.

Know what's awesome? This comes out today. Know what you should do? Buy it. Moench/Jones/Beatty Batman stuff was seriously some of the best ongoing Batman stuff I have read and I will beat anyone who cannot provide a valid* argument why it wasn't awesome. *There is no valid argument.

redbackground posted:Holla! This is a fantastic run. Just got mine today and the solicit text is wrong. It stops at 535 and 520 isn't included. But, because this is DC we're talking about, they obviously made a hasty change to the back cover as it says "Collects Batman 515-519, 521-525, 527-532, 535-535". Not a typo on my part, it actually says "535-535".

Not a typo on my part, it actually says "535-535". Well to be fair 535 was a "1 of 1" issue so I guess it's technically correct. Just finished reading the collection and despite the first story which kind of ends abruptly, and the chapter 6 of contagion with absolutely no context whatsoever (seriously why put that in the collection) the comics are still strong. I love the overtly decided gothic tone the comic took, with strange monstrosities, ghosts, mysteries etc. It is still one of the best takes on Batman I have ever seen, and Jones art greatly compliments the style of the stories. I hope the title sells well so the rest of the comics can see the light of day. Possible further joys include a horrific take on the Spectre (ghosts again), the Demon and Joker (horror), Man-Bat (monsters) and other great stories. Don't screw this up for me DC.

Is there any particular reason why the core Batman book can't be happening in DC present? It just kinda drags on me what with Zero Year, and now Eternal. It feels, to me anyway, that Snyder would be better suited to writing Bat stories in a book like Legends of the Dark Knight instead of the flagship Batman book. The book I most enjoy right now is the Batman and (insert character here) book. It has been consistently solid since 52 reboot for me.

Nah. Zero Year rules and that first page of Eternal is totally ridiculous and worth posting.

I generally like Morrison and his Batman storyline really didn't do much for me. Except when he had Dick as Batman.

In retrospect, Incorporated v2 really was the low point of Morrison's run because the New 52 totally kneecapped him. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Absolute smoothes a lot of this poo poo over.

I still found myself excited for every new issue and think he delivered probably the most 'fun' title so far in what I've read in the new 52. Although that's also partly because I particularly enjoyed Burnham's art (I love his cartoon style).
