so-soA grimy, noir BATMAN tale from the creators of 100 BULLETS sounds like a home run in my book. But, despite the amazing art, and the dark poetry of the narrative, I just couldn‘t muster the enthusiasm I thought this would engender. I‘m not sure why, but the book left me cold, when I should have loved it.
pickIt‘s a comfort read. But look at Nightwing and Flash trying to figure out different ways speedsters could carry other superheroes: LOOK AT THEM. The Bat-born : Flash : Is this really more dignified? Nightwing (pleased): Nope. Way comfier though. The Dirty Dancing: Nightwing: I feel like I‘m flying! Flash (displeased): Yeah, I‘m not running with you like this.
Thank You @catsandbooks for #ShowAndTellTuesday and for the tag 🥳🎨💝.
Made this tonight, from upcycled materials.
Saved the foil seal from baking powder and transformed it into a Batman bookmark 🦇🔖📚 by cutting out design, using double-sided tape to attach to a drawing I doodled, and attaching a string that I had saved from a previous project.
These make good ornaments. Just be sure to be cautious in case the foil is sharp.
☺️🎨🦇💝.
I combined Batman with one of my favorite sayings:
“Hope Is Like A Seed, & A Seed Must First Be Planted In Darkness“ -Unknown
To create my Haiku:
A Darkness Swept World
A Rage Born From Injustice
Yet Hope Is A Seed

pickA delightful amount of mind-bending silliness with the imps, followed by a short detour to Themiscyra, all foes defeated through the power of friendship (aka allied bad asses combining their power). I think Robin had the best lines throughout. A particularly wholesome entry in this series, which continues to be a feast for the eyeballs thanks to Dan Mora's art. Always eager to see more!
Pfft, ah, Robin, no hesitation. 🤦🏼♂️
Yes, the Imps are manipulating reality, but also, they look fantastic, in a very 80s way. 💥✨
What do you mean Batman doesn't have superpowers?

I remember the moon.
A cold and bloated orb, it watches with indifference as we pass below.
I remember my parents smiling—recalling some incident of our evening in town. They are so happy.
How quickly that can change, eh?
Something happens … the coach stops abruptly.

pickI love thrillers that take place over one night. Batman is accompanying the GCPD in the transfer of a dangerous powered criminal (EMP) from Arkham Asylum to Blackgate Prison. Multiple gangs are on the prowl with the intent to rescue the perp or kill the Bat. Chaos ensues, and fun is had! The story is great, and the art is fantastic! From the inimitable artist JOCK. Check it out!
