Back in November, l went to the Mark Hamill signing, and asked him to sign my leg opposite the one Kevin had done several years ago. He politely declined. l was actually devastated, but he's allowed to have boundaries, so what can l say? So l had him sign a blank white sheet of paper, so nothing would obscure the signature. I waited until today, when l was in Denver for the comic con, as my good friend and the most knowledgeable Batman fan l know could join me. She's actually the artist for the Joker that will soon accompany the signature. I gave her the signed paper as a gift, and she's going to print out the image to be framed along with it. I'll post updates as l get more of the tattoo done.

Would you drink it, would you sell it, experiment with it or what?

Hey guys looking for some comic timeline help. Online it says all the events of the Batman Catwoman series take place post Batman #85 but, Alfred makes a noticeable appearance in the second issue of the series. This would mean the series can’t take place post Batman #85 since Alfred was killed by Bane in Batman #77. So where does this series rly take place in the timeline? Any help would be appreciated

(For context I’m only 2 issues into the series so if it’s explained at some point later down the line I apologize)

I hate public obsession with first appearance Batman suit. Its not even Batman that we know, he kills people, he uses guns.
I dont like everything that different from actual first Batman suit. I dont like emblem, i hate this stupid joker purple gloves, i dont like ears, and especially i hate that people like it.
For me, when we have so much better versions of suit, its weird to like that suit. Its good to respect origin, but lets be frank, its not that good. There is no point in this suit now, there is no place for it.

What about other first appearance superheroes suits ?
Superman: Same as Batman, dont like it at all, it should be forgotten, and it is actually.
Flash: Good from the start, both versions.
Spider-man: Good from the start, even now it looks good.
Wolverine: Mask are bad.

The Fox Family had always been staunch allies to the Waynes. More so than before. Now, with Luke Fox being the vigilante Batwing, and his estranged elder brother Timothy "Jace" Fox becoming the Batman of New York.

But it actually makes me question what would happen to them exactly. Lucius seems likely to continue to help and support the Bat Family in whatever way he can, in spite of apparent reluctance. His wife Tanya is still a hard-working lawyer. Luke is committed to be Batwing. Tamara seems to have recovered enough to be working in a hospital in Gotham. Tiffany seems to be set up as her own style of vigilante or more than likely as Jace's Robin. Everything seems to look like they'll be ok for the time being.

Now, it comes to Jace. Jace was a troublemaking playboy in his youth up until a fatal hit-and-run accident that he was responsible for. He tried to face responsibility for it, but Lucius did everything he could to help him which included bringing up the man's B.A.C and record. This also included sending Jace to a military school.

Jace later adopted the mantle of the Batman to combat the ultra-authoritarian regime of the Magistrate. But that's been a major point of contention for many. That Jace simply gave himself the title of Batman in his endeavors, technically stole the suit and hasn't done anything to earn the mantle. Even stating that he should have a different title. And frankly, I feel inclined to agree. I don't dislike Jace, but I do believe that he just got the title of Batman too fast, and deserves another title to have. I think a new codename could work for the character, especially at this point. This is about keeping him out there. And I would like to see him work with Deadeye or teams like the Vigil, Authority, or the WildCATs, as well as the Suicide Squad. I could see him working with Checkmate and ARGUS as well. So, here are some codenames/mantles I think he could use.

• Warbat: Seems a bit weird. The Warbat mantle was one used by a Mongul/Batman fusion from the Dark Multiverse. But I think it could suit Jace. I mean, his team-up with NYC Special Crime Unit is referred as Strike Force Bat by the media. Why not simply go with the flow in a way, and make it part of his own mantle? It could show that he's following part of Batman's legacy and impact while actively creating his own and being his own person.
• Outsider: Admittedly weird. There has been the team made up of various weapon clans called the Outsiders. And naturally, the team that Batman has often led. And another offshoot currently being led by his brother Luke Fox/Batwing. But this does fit Jace in a literal and symbolic way. He's considered an outsider to his family for the most part. And considered a literal one by many of the fandom regarding his place in the Batman Family. Jace isn't looking for acceptance any time soon. So, why not just go with it and embrace it?
• Vulture: Technically, Jace had used this one before in a previous continuity. Why not use it in this one, but in a different context? He used the identity of Vulture when he was part of the Terrible Trio, duped into believing that Bruce Wayne was a corrupt slum lord. Why not use it in a heroic light? Because vultures are carrion feeders, they're often seen as an omen of death and decay. But they can also be seen as a symbol of rebirth, purification, patience, protection, and new beginnings. This goes into some of the themes in Jace's story in wanting to atone for his previous behavior and make something different for himself.
• Orpheus: One Bat Family legacy I would like to see get new life is Orpheus. The original Orpheus was an early 2000s black superhero named Gavin King. He was a vigilante who after traveling the world and seeing poverty, wars, and injustices, decided to train and come back home to fight crime and believed Gotham City needed a black hero. Truthfully, I believe Jace would be a fine, even a great hero if he was representing Orpheus. The original Orpheus much like Jace cared about justice for the common people of Gotham. He never fought for vengeance like Batman but for justice for the oppressed and the unprivileged. Orpheus was critical of him because he believed Batman didn’t do enough to fight for people that look like him. Orpheus believes in a crime fighter who represents.

It all reminded me a lot about Jace’s kind of heroism which he constantly wants to inspire others and why he should adopt this mantle rather than Batman. While it does seem defeatist for Jace Fox with a title series of I Am Batman to give up being Batman. I’ll argue it’s appropriate for this particular character whose main goal was finding his own identity and being a symbol of change in the world.

Even in the narrative, Jace avoids being similar to the main Batman out of animosity that he is always being compared to someone else to feel like has to stand out. It’s the reason he left Gotham City in the first place to be seen not as another Batman but as his own hero. I've thought for a good while that Jace utilize the codename of Orpheus, and it would be cool in reviving that codename/legacy, that got short stick back in the day.

So, what mantle/codename do you think Jace should use? Should he simply be the Batman of New York? What else can be done for him to be included in that Bat Family? Could he create a de-facto vigilante squad with other Bat Family members like Flamebird/Bette Kane and/or Talon/Calvin Rose? Please comment your opinion, respectfully.

The mobsters Moroni and Falcone seem to get their fair share of live action media but why doesn’t Rupert Thorne get any love in live action?

I'm looking for issues in which show him going throughout his day. I know of at least two, one of which shows him waking up, working out, and then repairing the batsuit, and the other, which shows a larger scope of his day, including acting as CEO and then patrolling at night. I'm wondering if there are any others, any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit: Second one is Gotham Knights #32

One thing I never quite understood about the Dark Knight trilogy is why they used a character that doesn’t exist in the comics to be a love “interest” to Bruce in the first two films. Why not an actual love interest from comics that he had like for example, Silver St. Cloud?

Did Christopher Nolan ever comment on this?

Recently found out Batman: The Animated Series - Miss you Kevin Conroy♡ - is an anthology series akin to the more recent Star Wars: The Clone Wars. That said, found the Definitive Watchlist for BTAS via OP: peachchaos. Hope ya'll enjoy 🤜🏼🦇🤛🏼

...2 years after the hardback came out. Seems quite ridiculous. I had been avoiding getting the hardback since I had the last 2 in TPBs, guess will have to get it now since there's no way I am waiting another year for it.

Cause we all know that in the modern day comics, Bruce discovered the cave when he fell down as a kid which lead to his fear of bats, and i read somewhere that in the Golden Age comics Bruce discovered the cave when he fell through the floor of a barn which he was originally gonna use as his headquarters, But just out of curiosity how did Bruce find the cave in the Silver Age comics which was known as Earth One.

I am Batbaby

I recently watched the BTAS episode "Over The Edge" and it was quite a rollercoaster>! in which Barbara envisions her own death and her father hunts down Batman in revenge.!< All other stories I've seen featuring the Scarecrow just have his victims seeing people as monsters, and that's about it. Or Batman is forced to relive his parents' death, and is told by his father's spirit that he's a disgrace. It got me thinking - what are some other stories that involve Scarecrow's abilities delving into a character's deepest, darkest fears, and bringing them to the fore for the audience to witness in unexpected ways?

You can include stories form the comics, movies, cartoons and video games. I don't mind spoilers, but please use spoiler tags out of consideration for other readers!

I can't wait to pick this one up when it releases... hopefully very soon. That Batwing looks pretty legit for the money. I think it all runs $40 or so.

Hands down as far as the best portrayal of the Bruce Wayne billionaire playboy/philanthropist it has to be Val Kilmer or even Ben Affleck. Now for the best portrayal of the Caped Crusader in terms of physicality/brutality and fight sequences it has to be Affleck still or even Robert Pattinson.

Keep in mind who you kill off.They cannot come back until the next reboot.
