That Batman pic is absolutely amazing. That's definitely frame-worthy.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Bruce is the only Batman. But does that mean,everything in Flashpoint will be fixed so soon?
ReplyDeleteWill Damian still be Robin?
Is it too girly of me to say that "Red Hood and the outlaws", sounds great?
I'm glad "birds of prey" continue.
Craig I'm thinking David Finch should just hand everything he does to a framers. Would save a lot of fans a lot of time!
ReplyDeleteAliera - yip Damian is still Robin - surprised he doesn't have his own #1 though. He's way more colourful a character than some of those who are rumoured to.
Hmm. So out of 52 titles--12 or so have a Batman or Bat-related character in them? And four others are Green Lantern related books? Talk about flooding the zone. I thought they were giving some lesser-known characters some spotlight?
ReplyDeleteI know what you are saying BlackEmerald - and to me they missed the obvious one - Arkham Asylum; an anthology that follows on the success they had with 'Joker' last year.
ReplyDeleteStill who knows what's still to be revealed right? Thanks for the comments!
