I can agree with that. There was a logo change and so it felt fresh. Your post actually was in such agreement with me, I am now working on that to current batman The Commissioner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveinthecity Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Fwiw my copy of #135 (Jimenez) isn’t scheduled to ship until 5/10, so there must be copies floating about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissioner Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 My thoughts on this issue. Spoiler I loved Batman jumping throughout the multiverse and meeting all of the other Batmen. I thought it was neat when we ran into Michael Keaton's and Adam West's Batman. I wish Alfred would've gone with him back to our Batman's Gotham, but I understand his reasoning for staying behind (his wife, wanting to help rebuild his city, etc.) Overall, good story and exciting ending.

I agree, that was a nice touch that I felt paid homage to the other Batman appearances. The last page was really neat as well.

Browns81 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 What is the deal with Detective Comics (New 52) 23 and the four 23.1, .2, .3, .4 issues? Just a sales gimmick? They don’t seem to add to the legacy numbering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to receiving them I am really enjoying the current run by Zdarsky. The preceding (short) run by Willaimson I thought was pretty good too.

Some parts seemed a little ridiculous at times (Batman falling from space for example) but what comic books aren't? I like that Tim Drake is back as Robin. He was great during the Hush storyline, so it's nice to have him back helping Batman. workingdog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a gimmick at the time. 23.1 thru 23.4 were 3-D Lenticular covers. Each one featured a different Batman villain. 23.1 - Joker 23.2 - Riddler 23.3 - Penguin 23.4 - Bane The Commissioner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 608-713, I have like 30 issues to go now. last weekend I got 635 which was the priciest of the modern run. For new 52, I have court of owls done and then the other random Jock covers throughout that volume 2. vol 3 is pretty sparse though with only a couple of the books, all jock covers.
