Holy ginormous week of comics, Batman! With a (slightly late) review of Gotham under my belt, this week’s releases were just extra icing on the Bat cake. There were ten (10!) Batman-related books that hit the shelves this week, and though I’m sure you’re all about reading them for yourselves, I’m here to spread the good word and promote them all a little bit more than your average Bat fan. Welcome back to Baturday, folks! Here’s the lowdown on my ratings, some spoilers, and a call for comments…
My reviews for this week’s Bat books:
Red Hood and the Outlaws #35 – 3/5
Supergirl #35 – 3/5
Batman and Robin #35 – 5/5
Batman Eternal #28 – 5/5
Justice League #35 – 5/5
Batwoman #35 – 5/5
Teen Titans #3 – 3/5
Earth 2: World’s End #2 – 3/5
The New 52: Futures End #24 – 3/5
Batman/Superman #15 – 4/5
My pick of the week: BATMAN AND ROBIN #35!
Spoilers from this week’s Bat books:
* The two Jasons fought it out and Red Hood tried to kill the new Commissioner
* Batgirl stopped him from doing so
* Lex Luthor accidentally released the Amazo virus
* Batman (and pretty much the entire League) doesn’t trust Lex
* Lex’s sister is alive and well, and working at Lex Corp
* This week could be summed up as “guest star” week
* Batman is taking on the forces of Apokolips to “save” Damian
* Batwoman is in space, for some unexplained but awesome reason
* the Future (and, really, Earth-2 in general) sucks for everyone
* Killer Croc loses the one person he cares about
* Catwoman and Batman “break up” for good this time
