You fool. THIS IS THE INTERNET!

...and gorillas. Don't forget the talking gorillas.

Agreed. I really think people ought to wait until they judge, and that goes for everything, not just this.

Dude they're singing in my version ... needs the latest version of Flash though ... and I don't mean Barry Allen

.. and it's that Cher song again

I thought that would be odd as well. When I watched that Morrison interview, though, I think I figured out how they're planning on reconciling that element that rubs all of us the wrong way.

Since Batman is supposed to be a mysterious, legendary figure, it makes a little sense that there would be conflicting rumors about his acvtivities and even his whereabouts. Bruce and Dick will capitalize on that by actually playing the Batman role in two different places.

In the Batman & Robin title, Dick and Damian will continue fighting crime in Gotham City.

In the Batman, Inc. title, Bruce will be Batman teaming up with Batman-inspired heroes all over the globe.

The other Batman titles, Batman, Detective, etc. will probably be split between the two Batmen, some featuring Dick Grayson stories, some featuring Bruce Wayne stories.

If there ends up a Batman on the Justice League during this time, I would assume that it ends up being Bruce, which jives with his new emphasis on a global presence.

For what it is worth, for those who didn't watch the video I linked to above, Morrison said that Batman, Inc. is essentially a two-year story. Whether that means a return to the classic Batman status quo at the end of those 2 years or not was left obviously unclear.

I vote for the 2nd Batman to be the Adam West version!

He can be in an alternate universe with camp versions of Silver Age characters!

With Christopher Reeeves As Superman.

And Frank Gorshin as the Riddler! Julie Newmar can purrrrr all days long as far as I'm concerned. Burgess and squawk all the way to the bank (robbery).... Cesar wasn't that bad.....

Don't you men Marvel getting their arses kicked by Batmen.

I tried to send you some "Julius Schwartz rep", but you can guess how that turned out. Stupid rep rules.

Stan Lee lives in constant fear of OOTS.










(As does Chuck Norris, come to think of it)

Yeah, but his mom is soooooooooooo ^%$%^$ing HOT! That's the only reason why anybody hangs out with him.

Someone mentioned Batman and Batman earlier. Why does that sound like an 80s tv drama?

70s. It'd have been "Batwoman and Batwoman" in the 80s.

Cool mental image, though -- Batman and Batman hitting up Huggy Bear for "street" info.

There will clearly not be two Batmen for long. It'll just be some dumb gimmick for a while (a year tops hopefully). I read Batman since 1985 and the standout for me was that the guy has no powers, and yet accomplished so much as ONE ordinary man. Criminals are supposed to think he's everywhere anyway, actually being everywhere is a bit rubbish if you ask me (which you don't).

I can't see it lasting. I am totally fed up with these kinds of stories by writers who can't think of anything other than- kill him, lose his powers, get a replacement, original comes back/ regains powers, NOW THERE"S TWO! I'm thinking Batman, Captain America, Hulk and to some extent, Iron Man.
