COME ONE, COME ALL!

This is a big year for our favorite Dark Knight, with a new animated movie on its way, DLC for the latest Arkham game just around the corner and an ambitious weekly comic all set to make its debut. Yes, there’s much to look forward to this year if you’re a Batman fan. Like today.

Today sees the release of five new comics starring the Dark Knight. But don’t you worry one bit about redundancy. These Bat-books are all pretty different, so no matter what particular flavor of Batman you gravitate towards, chances are pretty good that there’s one that’s right up your alley.

Do you like your Batman all dark, brooding and almost completely silent? Well, then you need to pick up BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT #27, which concludes the two-part, almost entirely unspoken “Voiceless” storyline. Or do you prefer your Batman to be more colorful and all-age friendly? Feast your eyes on BEWARE THE BATMAN #4, which finds the young Caped Crusader tangling with Man-Bat. What if you prefer your Batman as one half of the Dynamic Duo? Well, then you’re in luck. BATMAN AND ROBIN ANNUAL #2 offers up a standalone story featuring Batman and the original Boy Wonder, Dick Grayson! What’s that? You say you like your Robins a lot angrier and your crime fighting more violent? Well, then you don’t want to miss the final issue of DAMIAN, SON OF BATMAN, in which Damian dons the cowl and becomes his own version of the Dark Knight. Finally, what if you feel Batman’s at his best when he’s from an entirely different dimension? Believe it or not, you’re covered there as well with this week’s EARTH 2 ANNUAL #2, which tells the origin tale of Earth 2’s new Batman.
