Lots of characters getting new looks. Not all of them are that great. Really pointless. Batman looks like blue beetle and bugs bunny combined. Wonder Woman looks ok, like some Mortal Kombat character. Green Arrow is just terrible. Green Lantern is nice, looks like Parallax. The Flash looks the same, although he does look nice.

Flash looks the worst with all those pointless lines. I can't wait to read robo-batman, because they CAN'T play something like that completely serious.

Man. DC feels really uneven. I think they've woken up a bit and are doing some very cool/stylish things with their B/C-list, but for their core characters they won't stop going Full '90s.

I don't know why comics don't have a definitive end like TV shows and then start a new series with an all-new continuity. The flaw of comics is they're designed to run forever, but of course they have to keep retconning and streamlining continuity every 5-10 years for new readers anyway.

TV shows (or movie franchises) are done better because you have a show that goes on for a few years and has a concrete ending. Then they make another show a few years later that's an all new reboot with no ties to the previous. And it makes sense, it gives shows a good run and then new writers/creators do their own unique take with the characters next without worrying what came before.

Imagine if every DC or Marvel show/cartoon on TV had to be part of the same continuity? It would be an nightmare.

Money-money-money-money-money...
It's mush easier to continue one world, than market a new one. Even despite constant stream of retcons and editorial changes, which make old'verse nothing like ones before it.

Not really. I think it's more just to ramp up how much this character has changed. I mean, the character is in the Batcave, driving the Batsuit, with guns, going to town.

Might as well shave the 'stache while he's at it.

Perhaps he is having a midlife crisis, regretting his quasi-divorce with Talia.

Batman #41 came out today... thoughts, anyone who has read it?

He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named piloting the Robobat-bunny suit, Bruce Wayne totally dead for reals... I'm not reading this until I get some reviews that convince me I'm missing something.

Kind of like how Catwoman is a reaction book to things, Selina's not about to let ghosts lie where Bruce is concerned

But yeah, I enjoyed Batman#41. Lots of good humor, be like Robocop in places, to be expected I guess. The pot shot at the Twix add below the panel we gold
