Well neither is Superman, but both can seem like it haha.

In a world in which we're probably close to a million pages of Batman comics having been made, this is the best of them all.

As much as I like pictures of Batman, I am kinda jealous.

I see no reason why we can be awesome thread with awesome pictures and awesome thread with awesome discussions.

I'll make a start, and say the favorite prediction of every Bat-Morrison fan.

Alfred is Leviathan.

BOOM !

Despite having read everything I still have no idea what Leviathan is supposed to be besides evil.

It would be pretty sweet if Alfred as the Outsider was brought back up by Morrison and he ran Leviathan. And by "pretty sweet" I mean absolutely insane.

Can we all just discuss the fact that two months ago there were three issues of Batman Inc solicited for release pre-reboot, and now there's only one. Batman Inc #9 and Batman Inc #10 have disappeared completely. This is something I can't deal with. Please tell me there's a DC staffer on this board somewhere who knows what's going on and can assure me that I will have these comics at some point soon.

One of them had Batman punching schoolgirls in England ffs.

DC has confirmed that Batman Inc is picking back up in 2012 with Morrison still on it. I assume those issues will just be coming out then.

Edit: Probably with a different Batgirl haha.

Check Batman Inc. # 6 again, read the part where Bruce plays chess with Alfred, you'll see what I mean.

Yeah they've said that, but that's a separate 10(?) issue maxiseries, which these two issues aren't a part of. And DC seem to be pretty committed to making sure this relaunch is completely clean cut, so I don't see them releasing pre-reboot stories after September.

My major beef with the DC Reboot is that they're basically stopping Morrison's Batman story in it's final act, and although we'll get a conclusion, it's not what we would've gotten if the reboot didn't happen. I don't really care about any of the other changes, SUperman can wear armor for all I care, but Dick Grayson as Batman was a pretty integral part of Morrison's Batman story, so taking him out kind of bums me out. And now that two issues have disappeared I'm just pretty pissed off really.
