And it’s always the same thing:
You can’t see the dang symbol in the dark. As Frank Miller’s Batman once famously pointed out, he wears a big target on his chest because he can’t armor his head. (I even think they referenced that here.)

PS: As I have noted before, I am tentatively down for Violent Goth Batman. It’s a legitimate take on the character. Annnnnd… dammit, they’re still not doing a animated version of THE DOOM THAT CAME TO GOTHAM. What, DC doesn’t like money?
That’s what GeekTyrant thinks, at least, and I think they’re right.
Also: Ben Affleck is a hell of a lot better at being Batman than I thought Ben Affleck would be at being Batman. Go figure, huh? Honestly looking forward to JUSTICE LEAGUE on the 18th…
I mean, really, he’s not quite bulky enough for BATMAN BEYOND‘s Old Bruce but Michael Keaton would have the attitude down cold.
Apparently the Flash is gonna visit alternate versions of the DC universe in his movie. As GeekTyrant notes, I understand that they did something like this in the TV shows, which were pretty popular. Even with Ben Affleck coming back for one more Batman flick, though: is this really gonna work? I dunno…
Continue reading THE FLASH’s gonna nerd out completely with multiverse stuff.
I’m getting the impression that the hardcover price of Deluxe Planetary Batman may not be worth the price. Be it as it may, the e-book version price is worth it. This is a great story.
That seems to be the consensus?
Well, the consensus at least among that part of the hardcore Batman fans* that aren’t hyperventilating at the news. Apparently the guess is that either it’s gonna be the Court of Owls (Gotham-based secret society), Ra’s Al Ghul’s League of Shadows, or possibly both. I’d be able to gather more, except again that everybody’s too busy hyperventilating to explain. Guess we’ll find out!

*I do not say that as a criticism. “Always be yourself — unless you can be Batman. In that case, always be Batman.”
Which I should maybe watch, but I don’t have time yadda yadda. Anyway:
Continue reading Kevin Conroy to play Future Batman on CW Arrowverse thingy.During The CW’s TCA panel earlier today, some major new details were revealed about the upcoming five-part “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover. For starters, Black Lightning’s involvement in the event has now been confirmed (despite the fact his adventures don’t take place in the Arrowverse) along with another major surprise.
Kevin Conroy, who played Bruce Wayne/Batman in Batman: The Animated Series and the Arkhamseries of video games, will be playing “Bruce Wayne from the future” during this event.
But damn if I wouldn’t watch Michael Keaton tackle this role. And don’t tell me ‘Birdman.’ From what I heard, there wasn’t nearly enough near-future geriatric ass-kicking in that flick.
Dammit, now I’m pissed that there’s not going to be a live-action Batman Beyond flick.
No, really. That’s how Batman would do it. That’s precisely how Batman would do it. Because he’s the goddamn Batman.
