Paul Levitz gave another interview for Worlds Finest on CBR today, and let me just say I think they may have given me something to actually be upset about. It's enough to say, icon says all. And yes, that is saying a bloody lot.

Just before the relaunch, DC did one final (though very short) Bertinelli!Huntress/Power Girl team-up for old times sake!

Since there's a bit of a discussion of the most recent Supergirl reboot's character swings and roundabouts going on in the Casstoons post, this seemed like a good time to post 3 pages of Superman/Batman annual 5 which address some of those issues.
A Reign of Doomsday tie-in, the basic setup is Sh*&, Meet Fan. Kara and Dick are trapped in the Watchtower with Doomsday and Cyborg Superman, who's turning the satellite into a giant weapon. Kara has apparently gotten hit with synthetic magic energy and is too ill to fight, so Dick gets her to sickbay, which he explains the JLA somehow turned into a "panic room" - it's cut off from all other systems, Cy.Sup can't reach it to manipulate it, and it's shielded from magic energy. Kara's well while she's in there, but only while she's in there. Dick leaves her to fight the Gruesome Twosome by his lonesome, and Kara accidentally triggers a full-body diagnostic scanner, which informs her she's dying. dun dun DUNNNN!
Through comms she passes word on to Dick, who in mid-battle tells her how to initiate sickbay's holographic Dr. Mid-Nite AI. Holo!Pieter confirms she's dying but can find no organic cause. So, Dick suggests one more option - the holographic Dr. Fate AI.
( Your life is in your own hands. )
She does as he prescribes, and rejoins the battle. And then things get exponentially worse, but that's a tale for another post.

The Batman and Superman (and Robin) of the 853rd century return in Superman/Batman 79...
( Four pages )
I promised I'd post this someday.
The Forensic Files of Batman isn't a comic book. Nor even juxtaposed images in sequence. (So I included a scan for legality from Superman/Batman 1) It is a prose novel by Doug Moench.
It ambitiously sets out to be Forensics 101 for the layman, depicting in as much detail as possible realistic forensic methods that Batman has used in cases. The book has no overall story. It is divided into chapters, of which each is a separate case file.
It doesn't have Robin or the JLA. It's set at the beginning of Batman's career. This is not the BatGod, nor the superninja. This is the man who fights crime by being a detective. ( Read more... )

Out of the mouths of babes....
Nov. 17th, 2010 06:42 pmFour scans from Superman/Batman 78 that I found to be rather humorous.

Two pages from Superman/Batman #75
Aug. 26th, 2010 02:39 amPretty sure we're still under the line for this one since it was 40 pages(so 13 can be posted and unless I'm mistaken only 8 have been so far), let me know if I'm wrong on that.
That aside, this story featured some familiar characters of Superman/Batman past...
