Batman vs. Superman by Jim Cheung. Inks by Mark Morales..
This is an interesting issue for a few reasons. One, it is the story of Harper Row the female character that Scott Snyder created after being denied the use of Cass Cain. Two, it’s the first time a woman has drawn either Detective or Batman. The terrific Becky Cloonan now holds that title.
So let’s stop to look at this cover for a minute as it is DC Comics history:

So, hey, some quick and spoiler-free thoughts on that Batman flick. The Dark Knight Rises is a dumb movie. 2008’s The Dark Knight is an exciting and intelligent morality play, surprisingly rich in its exploration of its themes. TDKR is a bruiser of a film, with little finesse, little to say, but a lot of story to tell. There are leaps in logic that, while not indefensible, are too many and too large to be excused.
That said, I liked this film a great deal. It may not be as smart or as tight a film as its predecessor, but it is an immensely entertaining and, more important, emotionally satisfying conclusion to this Batman saga. If you can go the extra length necessary to suspend your disbelief, TDKR is a pure and heartfelt story, of wonderfully mythic proportions, about the character of Bruce Wayne.
Now I gotta check out that Batman: No Man’s Land stuff, which I understand influenced elements of TDKR’s story. You can pop into our store and pick it up for 20% off, by the way.

The Syndicate by Clay Rodery
A commission piece for a article about rebooting the Batman film franchise after Dark Knight Rises on io9.
Says Will Brooker in the article: “Let’s take the Bat-Man back there, and name the show after his first adventure, ‘The Case of the Chemical Syndicate’ from May 1939. Bruce Wayne is a drawling playboy who smokes the occasional pipe with his pal Commissioner Gordon. Gotham is run by mobsters and hired thugs, and Gordon and his boys are powerless to break the racket. But all that changes when a stranger appears one night — a muscular figure in a gray leather get-up, built like a linebacker with a helmet covering his face — and starts bringing his own justice to the city.
The Syndicate is a 24-episode drama, a mosaic told through the lives of the heroes and villains, but most importantly, the ordinary people of Gotham — the institutions, the police department, the schools, the society balls, the businesses. And the real twist? We never actually see Bruce Wayne change into costume. Even dedicated fans will start wondering: is Wayne actually the Bat-Man in this show? Expect discussion boards to go crazy with speculation every time The Syndicate drops a clue”.

It’s pretty rare that I see a good Hellboy drawn by someone other than Mike Mignola, I feel. This is one I dig.
