Batman #6

[sherkahn]

Boy, the preview I posted sure painted a dire picture for the Dark Knight.

How would you ever get out of this one, Batman?



I am BATMAN!

Batman has been drugged from eight long days of his ordeal. He hungry, exhausted, stabbed and beaten to be as defenseless as a newborn, and willing to give up in order to stop the pain, the Court of Owls is ready to claim their prize.

1. Mistake #1: You monologued/gloated.
2. Mistake #2: You gave Batman hallucinogenic drugs.
3. Mistake #3: You reminded him that innocent people were in peril, or were your victims...

You f'ed up.





Batman is unleashed.

(And my fan-boy heart goes aflutter..)

Oh my STARS that is some unfortunate looking art.

How is it unfortunate?

His teeth! Batman has no gums!

He's Hallucinating at this point.

In that sequence yes, but he's, to put it lightly, tripping balls. In the issue he goes from being weak and defenseless like he was last issue to looking like the Incredible Hulk with fangs depending on how well he's going in the fight with Talon.

Aaaah, okay. That makes sense, but I still don't like the stylized gumless Batman, especially since he's going all Liefeld on us in the bottom of the final page.

I don't know as it's meant to be a 'likeable' image. It's pretty much equivalent to the scary Monster-Batman Crane sees when he's under the influence of his own toxins in Batman Begins. It's meant to look like a monster.

Maybe so, but I absolutely love the way our Owl-y friend looks there!

I'm just trying to figure out how his outfit works.

The Talon's costume? Found this image that I'm guessing is from a future Nightwing issue (since he appears in the background) that shows some more details.

It looks like its a black hood (since it appears to move and flex with his head and neck) with goggles on a strap around his head, with a crest and beak made of metal.

His body armor seems to be made of leather or some kind of Kelver-like material with decorative seams in an "owl-y" pattern
