last time i check Batman hasn't been all silent issues. Loeb is dishin' out his regular delicious goodness. want more Batman? check and see what the 100 Bullets team does w/ the dark knight after Loeb/Lee leave.

OFF-TOPIC:

Hrrm.. I am anticipating good things from the upcoming Azarrella [sp.] written run on Batman, but I still feel that the character is becoming oversaturated, not unlike my other DC fav, Superman..

I totally agree with grendelboy on this one. What, is "Dust" going to be revealed as another dead supervillain? One of the best things Morrison did for the X-Men franchise was give it a fresh injection of original characters. If the editors are responsible for this, they should be hanged. If Morrison planned it all along,...dude you screwed up. How the hell did he hide his head then? Arggg...stupid...x-men...comics.

Well, the more I think about this, the more it is possible.

Magnetism, being as powerful as magnetos is, could easily accomplish masking himself.
A faint magnetic feild could easily stop the atoms carrying fragrace, so he could be smelled.
Along the same lines, he could have either spun things (nano maybe?) around him and made light.
He is very good at lieing and hiding his feelings.
and the helmet could have had the same properties as magnetos helmet, but Xavier could have attibuted the none mind reading part, to the fact that Xorn had a star for a head.

the only part I dont get is why the second magneto takes the helmet off revealing it is him, Charles just doesnt take over his mind, make him take the other guys down, use magnetos powers to control the nano in his spine, and then walk away get a wheelchair, come back, and mind wipe magneto. If i could do it, better beleive i would.

what'll really get the ol noggin a boilin is this: what if all the cool new characters ( fantomex, ultimaton,) are just acolytes in disguise- jean couldnt read fantomex's mind, and no telepath tried to read weapon xv.
magneto is about 6'2, so maybe he shot e.frost.
or, she and magneto have been working together. magneto could be giving kick to the student, giving them plans for teleproof helmets, raising a new army, planning to undermine chalie x's dream using rebellion, and teen pregnancy.
it all seems a little much and im going to be suprised if morrison can pull it off to the satisfaction of the comic world
(who, lets face it, we cant all be satisied)
one this for sure, by the end of this, there are going to be a pile of bodies.
