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 Eternal #31 Review

 

Kicking ass with brawn and class! With brutality and sass, they break the black mass, and boy do they have the brass for the task! It’s the team up that, frankly, I never would have thought of wanting! In this thirty-first issue of DC’s weekly Batman happening, Alfred Pennyworth fights his way from out of the wreckage of Arkham Asylum with the help of the masked beefcake Bane, who, despite not actually being very insane, was being housed at Arkham, probably for the safety of other prisoners (I think it’s that case for a number of Batman foes). Meanwhile, Hush brings the hurt to Spoiler and Batman develops a rapport with Julia. This issue does a great job making up for that lackluster previous one. read more
