Batman & Robin Eternal #10 Review

This issue wounds me, too, Batman.

Tim has a bad trip, in the past Dick flips, Harper drips, and the quality slips in this tenth episode of DC’s weekly Batman catastrophe. There’s a lot of combat in the St. Dumas cathedral, Jean-Paul Valley has terrible hair, Jason uses shark repellent, we meet that lady we saw with Mother some issues ago, and Bruce does his patented “You’re a loose cannon, Robin!” speech. The artwork may be decent, but this issue might be the first truly bad entry into this series, because with all that’s going on, a lot of it is just paint-by-numbers filler. I think I’ve had more fun in actual churches. read more

Batman & Robin Eternal #9 Review

Oh shit, now Bane’s punching the wall of reality! Somebody alert Donna Troy!

 

 

The nineties are back as Bane attacks, and how will you react to one more maniac? It’s the ninth issue of DC’s increasingly character stacked weekly Batman phenomenon. Tim and Jason, who play well off each other, infiltrate the St. Dumas cathedral with an added guest, we learn a little more about Harper’s background at the same time Dick does, and a flashback reveals that Mother is really in the know, and not at all impressed with Batman’s mission. And finally, in a not-that-surprising ending, a character orphaned by the new continuity returns! Now if only we could get Denny O’Neil on a new book for him. read more

Batman & Robin Eternal #8 Review

Mother, do you think they’ll drop the Bat?

Things get blacker, as the ballerina attackers aren’t performing Nutcracker, but Tim and Jason aren’t slackers, as they’re trackers of Mother’s backers. All of this and a hint of avenging angels to come in the eighth issue of DC’s weekly Batman escapade. Dick comes face to face with Mother herself, who claims to have created a Robin for Batman, and won’t reveal which one. Harper teams up with Cassandra, some assassins have caring mamas who will bonk you on the head if you kick their baby’s ass, and two Robins take the pulpit as the story drags, but at least it’s pretty focused. read more

Batman & Robin Eternal #7 Review

Why does Cass look completely out of her element here? She’s a ninja girl! Throwing stars are like snowflakes to her!

While Dick’s away, Tim and Jason play, there’s a deadly ballet, and there’s a bit of LesYay, all in this tip-toeing issue that’ll make you plié. It’s the seventh issue of the globe-trotting second Batman weekly trek from DC Comics. The Prague Batcave is full of bones, the dive bar Tim and Jason visit is full of scumbags, and the Prague Ballet is full of secret asassins (and at least one Mother). I’m shipping Harper/Cass now, but let’s get to that later, there’s a story to follow! read more

Batman & Robin Eternal #6 Review

That awkward moment you realize you’re going to land in the wrong direction to pose on a ledge.

 

 

Dick gets tricked, Mother makes wives perfect, and the girls take a trip in this sixth issue in DC’s weekly Grayson supplmental… I mean, Batman weekly. This issue is 95 percent flashback, though maybe “flashback” isn’t exactly accurate, because Dick can’t possibly know all the things that Batman was experiencing and thinking when he wasn’t around. Whatever the case, the present mystery of Mother and the Orphan seems to point towards Prague, and after consulting Jason, Dick decides to bring Harper and Cass there with him, and that should be amusing for me and frustrating for Cass/Steph team-up fans, because Harper is Cass’ closest ally now. read more

Lupin III (2015) Episode 05 Review

Episode 05, “The Magician’s Left Hand”

*****SPOILERS*****

Synopsis: Lupin investigates Fujiko’s relationship with a young magician from a circus, Luca, who seems to have had fallen in love with her. Lupin is incredulous, as Fujiko’s motivations always involve a swindle, and becoming a knife-throwing act seems like a cover. Sure enough, it seems like Fujiko is after the Trick Recipes, the codex of circus tricks and secrets, that could be valuable, and which only exists in Luca’s mind. What is Fujiko’s motivations for supporting the reserved young man whose burning desire is to become a great magician? It’s all about slight of hand as Lupin tries to decipher the clues to this magical mystery! read more
