I am REALLY loving this book, and Steph is one onf the only ones who can get away with saying lines like that and not look like a joke :D





Is that Digi-Babs? and whats up with Chibi Squire?

I like Steph's "I'm a pain in the ass like that" line better. :D

And yeah, I'm thinking Digi-Babs. While the solicits for this book seem really off (this week's issue is supposed to be about Bruce teaming up with Man-of-Bats/Raven Red, according to the solicit in DCU's site), two issues from now we're supposed to be getting this:

Written by GRANT MORRISON; Art by SCOTT CLARK; Cover by CHRIS BURNHAM; Variant cover by SCOTT CLARK

When Waynetech's launch of Interworld is plagued by a series of "virtual murders," Batman teams up with Oracle to hunt down the culprit in a simulated environment that's slowly collapsing into post-apocalyptic zombie-haunted chaos. A computer-generated Batman adventure that brings Dark Knight justice to a wild new frontier, to face a new and virulent menace. In a world of numbers, does everything have a price?

Didn't Red Robin just DO this plot with the Unternet

And no Batwoman?

[darkknightjrk]

Kinda, now that I think about it. Really, Red Robin isn't a bad book, but it's no where near as memorable. Plus, the idea in RR, I think, was Tim trying to take control of an evil thing to make it benefit people, while in Inc. it's Bruce's invention being twisted, and him asking help by one of his best resources, Oracle, for help.

As for Batwoman--she was in the last two issues of Inc., and Burnham said that he had to cut out A LOT of the characters that will appear from the cover. Basically, if they're a big deal character in the books nowadays, they're in Incorporated #6.

You must admit, it's a fair compromise between those in the Oracle camp and those in the Batgirl camp.

And will hack off both perhaps...

[whitesycamore]

Sorry, but my eyes were immediately drawn to Bruce's external jock-strap thingy. The visible seams down his front thighs also lend a saucy garter-belt/seamed stocking effect to the whole affair.

So Bruce's new mission is to fight crime *and* bring male lingerie to the forefront?

I won't even comment (much) on his built in glove knuckledusters or whatever they are. They look like miniature puritan-style belt buckle accessories... but for his fingers.

It's hardly new, he did have his first two male sidekicks dress in a feathered speedo (well, not at the same time... so far as we know), so this is positively DEMURE by comparison, no?

[whitesycamore]

True, true, this is the man who, given half the chance, likes to dress adolescent boys up like show-girls. I guess Dick and Jason were lucky to have escaped fishnet stockings and bustiers.

It's hardly new, he did have his first two male sidekicks dress in a feathered speedo (well, not at the same time... so far as we know),

I'm pretty sure I once saw a fan-comic with that very premise.

im... hmmm. "Scans or it didn't happen!:)

Well, since you ask... I'd post as an image, but there's a bare bottom (innocent enough, but...) in there and this thread isn't tagged as NSFW

Here you go

I'm pretty sure I did to, Bruce making Dick and Jason wear one Robin costume between them, then sitting back to watch the ensuing combat as to who got which part, before adding "Oh look, Dick got the briefs after... Alfred, throw a pixie boot in"

[kurenai-tenka.livejournal.com]

Ahah, oh yes, I know the one.

[whitesycamore]

That's the one all right.

How did we even get on to this topic in the first place? Once again we have lowered the tone and related everything back to Robin's short shorts.

[icon_uk]

LOWERED the tone? If it were any other posterior, perhaps, but in this case, it's ART! :)

[jarodrussell]

Well, there's this.

[sherkahn]

Nope, that's what Dick is for.

(... wait for it...)

[lieut_kettch]

The Bat-codpiece is both stylish and protective.

[misterbug]

Erm. I s'pose Mr Unknown is in his regular uniform because he's more recognisable that way...and I didn't notice anything wrong with Squire, she just appears to be smaller in perspective.

[misterbug]

Also - it appears that Bruce is edging towards Kingdom-Come status a bit later than the JSA did. All smug grins and giant Batbots.

[shadowpsykie]

yes and no... KC Bruce was coming from a place of uber control, I think THIS Bruce is coming from a place or organization. the Batbots were there because he didn't trust anyone. here he is putting his trust in his friends and allies. the bots are there for support, at least that is how i am looking at it.

[sherkahn]

I think he's learned his lesson from Brother 1.

[shadowpsykie]

you know, something just occured to me. With Bruce being the "head" of batman inc, that is going to be giving criminals a "target" for blame "One of bruce wayne's batmen sprained my spinal chord, im suing" ect.

he could use a superhero lawyer :D see icon :D

Yep, KC Bats was an extension of the Iron Age Batman that was a paranoid control freak. Iron Age Batman had agents and uneasy allies. Modern Age Batman has friends and family.

Oh, and I love Steph's dialog in that scene, too.

[keeva]

The "Indian Batman" is really embarrassing.

Chibi Knights and Squire need a cartoon, NOW!
