    The comic book that actually deals with Dick becoming Batman 0

    Hated the cover to this issue, the JG Jones variant I wanted was too expensive for me too, but on with the story. This issue pretty much pointed out that Battle for the Cowl was totally unnecessary; I mean I thought Battle for the Cowl was okay and a fun ride, but this is the issue that actually deals with Dick deciding to take up the mantle of the Bat. Not much really happens accept for Dick contemplating taking continuing Bruce’s legacy, and deciding that if he does it has to be in his own way...

    My first DC issue..... 0

    Funny that a couple of months ago I would've never touched a DC Comics issue.... but this was too intreasting an oprtunity to pass. So maybe I'm the last person who should say anything about this issue since before this all I knew about Batman was what I saw in movies. I was actually surprised I understood it.Dick, the old old Robin and now Nightwing, has recieved the Cowl for his own now this whole issue was about how he feels insecure about taking over the mantle as Batman.....Superman and Won...

    Judd Winnick :( 1

    This was really, really bad. DC had just spent the last three months spoon-feeding us the Battle for the Cowl story-arc (which was okay, mind you  -- Judd Winnick with this issue proving just how awful Tony Daniel's series could have been had he written it). Really, for three months we were immersed with Dick Grayson's decision to take up the mantle of the Bat, something that by the Secret Six tie-in was clearly inevitable.Who retcons innocuous details from last month's story? Judd Winnick. Who ...

    Enough with the sentimental bull-sh*t. We get it! 0

    I was terribly disappointed with the first issue of Judd Winnick's return to Batman. Maybe my hopes were just a bit too high, but another sentiment saturated story about Dick coming to terms with Bruce's death was not what I was expecting. He's gone; Dick is reluctant; we got that already. We've practically been bludgeoned over the heads with this for the past few months. We've all said our goodbyes and made our peace and look forward to Bruce coming back in the future. If you need to see a more...

    The New Batman in Batman 0

    Originally posted June 11, 2009.  It would've made more sense to release this issue before last week's Batman And Robin #1.             This issue shows the gap between Battle For The Cowl #3 and Batman And Robin #1.  It just didn't quite have the spectacular oomph that Batman And Robin had.  Did you think this issue gave a good set up for the new Batman?  We got to see more of the decision being made.  Did you feel the 'touching' parts were too forced or did they work for you?    ...

    Batman # 687 0

    In this issue we see that Nightwing is still reluctant to take the mantle of the Bat.  We also get to see how Wayne manor is dealing with the death of Bruce Wayne. They refuse to have a funeral so the legend of Batman can still be kept alive. Of all the comics that deal with Batmans death, this is the one that has a scene that trumps all others.    When members of the Justice League ask Alfred how he is doing, and he responds " My Son Is Dead " it sent chills. That alone is the line that encompa...
