I just (finally) wrapped up my article listing notable reviews of September's DC relaunch.  It's sad...I know.  I had a roll going and was writing incredibly consistently about DC's new 52, but right at the end my creative juices ran out and I ended up taking a two week writing hiatus.  Hopefully, this is another start to a solid roll.  I've got quite a few new ideas swirling around the noggin, again, so we'll see how it pans out in the next month or so.

My Fear Itself article hasn't leaped off of the concept page yet, but I do have the solid beginnings of a Batman: Arkham City review and my spot on the Spot is almost complete after many months of fine tuning.

SPOILER ALERT

Also, at the end of Fear Itself the Hulk separates himself from Bruce Banner leaving the two characters physically estranged from one another.  This of course leads to a number one entitled, The Incredible Hulk #1, with a masthead that reads, Shattered Heroes (similar to Marvel's Age of Heroes line of comics after Secret Invasion).

With this in mind I am thinking of working on a review of the issue to publish sometime this week.  The art was phenomenal and the story left me lusting for more.  This is quite an accomplishment considering I've never had an interest in the Hulk before.

END OF SPOILER

Also, in homage to Rocksteady's already critically acclaimed title, Batman: Arkham City, I wrote a poem about the Caped Crusader named, "Master Wayne's Keep."  Corny, but it happens.  I found a great piece of art showcasing Gotham's very own Wayne Tower, which was a perfect fit for the poem.  I normally don't write poetry, but I thought I'd give it a try and see where it led me.  Check it out!  Until next time.

It's a Batman Extravaganza!

So, after work today I picked up my obese black and tan Dachshund from my parents house and fretted on home only to be bombarded by an immense amount of awesome Batman news via MacBook.

First off, “Batman: The Dark Knight Rises” promotional movie poster, which released today, features the Bat logo framed by collapsing Gotham (presumably) skyscrapers.  Supposedly the Superman logo is hidden in the lower left-hand corner of the poster, hinting at Christopher Nolan producing credit in Zack Snyder‘s Superman reboot (The Man of Steel), however, I was unable to ‘see’ the logo even when it was directly pointed out to me.  It very well could be just another rumor amongst rumors, but regardless here is the poster in all its batiness:

Also, in Bat news was the much speculated CE of Batman: Arkham City was finally leaked via Best Buy.  Thus far no details on what the $100 package will include, but if it is anything like Arkham Asylum’s CE package it will be a for sure must have.  Here are some shots of the upcoming title, which releases this October:

And, finally, but not least importantly, is the newly released cover for Batman #2 featuring the artistic talent of Greg Capullo.  I cannot wait for DC’s relaunch so that I can  dive into the new Bat Family titles; I have a feeling I will be reading a lot more Batman come this fall.  Here is the aforementioned cover in color followed by the same cover in black and white (I am particularly partial to the black and white cover myself…variant perhaps?):

Well, there you have it.  Batman in all his awesome-ness.  As always feel free to comment, and keep on readin’!
