So there you have it, folks. Tons of great Bat books on the shelves, with something truly for everyone this week. But I have to say, I’m going to happily give out my pick of the week spot to the newest episode of Titans on HBO Max. A true masterclass in writing and acting, this week’s episode gave us what might actually be the most nuanced live-action portrayal of Batman we’ve ever gotten, not to mention a solid origin story for the Red Hood. But what did you think about this week’s Batman-related comics? Let us know on social media and let’s keep the conversation going. See you next Baturday!
