Batman Inc. #8 preview

[sherkahn]

ComicBookResources has the preview of issue #8.

What happens when you merge Batman with Tron?







I must say, having spent some time with animation software and modeling, this particular look is harder than it seems to achieve.

I hope this is a worthy end for this version of Batman.

shame I won't see Man-of-Bats and other cool bats like the ones we were introduced to.

why do you say that...,? Batman Inc is still continuing... and the batbooks are gonna be moslty unchanged.... they aren't gonna be wiped...

I think it doesn't help that DC have allowed the book to be sidelined so badly by the reboot with the scheduling all over the place. At this point, we were meant to have more of a resolution, leading into the Leviathan maxiseries of next year.

That they're lumping the remaining issues of Inc into a one-shot before Leviathan comes out speaks volumes. It just makes it feel like they don't care at all, and it seems they're more interested in what Snyder brings to the table, now.

Considering how chronically late the Morrison Batbooks have been for a long time now, I don't think the relaunch is to blame for the current bout of tardiness, which is just the latest in a long line.

Point taken, but they could've just done a new number one, like they are for... Ugh, Finch.

[arbre_rieur]

They kind of are doing that with LEVIATHAN. It's not one of the 52 launch titles, but the launch titles are all meant to be ongoings (though I doubt anyone's under the misapprehension none of them will get canceled), and Morrison's saga is a finite one.

[mrstatham]

Again, point taken. I just think it would've made more sense to just carry on with Inc as is or just relaunch it in September with a new art team, seeing as they're seemingly keeping some elements of the concept in place.

I do wonder if the Stephanie Brown-Batgirl story will still be in place, or if it'll be changed to reflect the freshly de-aged Barbara, though.
