thehefnerA couple months back, I got into yet another debate with someone about why I hated Batman using a gun in Final Crisis. I meant to post this at the time as a canonical response, but got distracted with IRL stuff and general geekery at my Two-Face fanblog. Besides, I figured this might be controversial, since it's a controversial real-life topic combined with a controversial comic topic, taken from a comic that was deeply controversial at the time it was released: Batman: Seduction of the Gun.
B:SotG was an anti-gun one-shot published as a benefit issue for the John Reisenbach Foundation for gun-control education activities, a fact which wasn't revealed to readers until the end. DC was flooded with angry letters from gun owners and Second Amendment advocates, many of which were published in the early Knightfall issues. Many letters were along the lines of "My heart goes out to the Reisenbach family, what a tragedy, BUT STILL GUN CONTROL IS BAD I FEEL BETRAYED FOR ACCIDENTALLY DONATING MONEY TO THIS CAUSE." I could do a whole post about that comic and the response it got.
So it might be a bit unfair to use these pages as my reasoning why Batman would never use a gun, and would always find another way to save the day because he's frickin' Batman. It's a very biased perspective. But in this case, I believe it also entirely fits with Batman as a character, and how he's always reacted to guns and gun violence.
WARNING: this is the single most graphic description of exactly how the Waynes died.

wonderwomanheroHello fellow S_Ders! It has been like....oh god, forever since I posted here. I don't know if any of you remember me but I am happy to be back. I hope my skills are still able to be put to good use. Here are two scans from the recent issue of Uncanny X-Men #534

What's going on underneath the top 2?
Mar. 28th, 2011 10:26 pmstubbleupdateI had a wander around the Image website to find out if Infinite Vacation was actually coming out this week (it was coming out this week last week, but this week, it's coming out in two weeks from now). #1 came out at the start of January. #2 is due out in the middle of April.
There's a few other exciting things going on, so let's check out ( the state of the image union )
And, in even more exciting news, ( a new project from Jonathan Hickman )

pyrotwilightAh Metropolis. At this time during the Reign of the Supermen we saw four Supermen appear and defend it. The Parasites have returned to face its protector(s) again. Thankfully we have...oh damn, it's that Metropolis Kid protecting us. Yeah, we're gonna need backup there.
