Second REAL-LIFE Batman Pops Up In The Slovak Republic. Oh, Reality <3
Apparently no one has seen Kick-Ass. ‘Cause to compliment the real-life dude bombing around Brazil as the Goddamn Bat-Man, there is now another would-be good doer patrolling parts of the Slovak Republic.

Brazilian City Authorizes 50 Year-Old BATMAN To Protect Its Citizens. No, Srsly
Ain’t this some Batman Inc shit right here. A Brazilian city has authorized some old motherfucker to walk around as Batman. Fighting crime. Stopping murders. Breaking up drug rings. I’m not even kidding.
Hit the jump for more details.
‘Batman Inc’ To Relaunch In 2012 by Morrison. DC, You Confuse Me.
I’m having an impossible time trying to figure out what’s going on with the DCU. I know that Flashpoint is changing everything but like how? I suppose that’s half the intrigue of the entire enterprise, but it’s leaving me quite flummoxed. It’s a reboot, relaunch, reprise, rehash, refry, re-something. I just don’t know what. I’d really like to. After lamenting that Dick Grayson is going back to Nightwing, and all of Batman Inc. is getting peeled away, apparently it isn’t?
Images & Words – Batman and Robin #16
[images & words is the comic book pick-of-the-week at OL. equal parts review and diatribe, the post highlights the most memorable/infuriating/entertaining book released that wednesday]
Nuclear threats. Satanic rituals. Daddy issues. Drug binges. Time travel. Ass-kickings.
No, I’m not calculating the formula for a Megadeth record, I’m listing some of the shenanigans that appear in Batman and Robin #16. Grant Morrison concludes his duties on the title by bringing Bruce Wayne back from the dead (or temporal instability, but same difference) and making unprecedented changes to the Bat-mythos. It’s fuggin’ wonderful.
Grant Morrison Is Down For “Gay Batman” In Batman Inc. Me too!
Here’s the thing, Grant Morrison is kicking off a new title, Batman INC, in which Bruce Wayne is franchising Batman. No, seriously. And adding an entire line of Batmen makes for some interesting sorts of interpretations of the god damn Rodent Guy. One possible interpretation? Gay Batman.
LA Times:
Batman can take anything. You can do comedy Batman, you can do gay Batman…it all works. It something intrinsic to the character. It ‘s so strange and amazing.
Well then! Personally? I’d love to see a gay Batman. I know there’s the Midnighter over in The Authority who is an obvious Batman homage and homosexual superhero. But a legit gay Batman? Radical. Even more radical would have been if Morrison could fit Bruce Wayne into the gay Batman mold, but god only knows how many heads would explode at DC and Warner Bros.
Batman, Inc. – Gotham Crooks Weep.
The most pressing comics-issue on my mind as of late has been What’re they going to do with Bruce Wayne when he returns? Fortunately, my fears that Grayson would have to return to his gig as Nightwing have been assuaged. Apparently, Bruce isn’t going to reclaim the cowl for himself, but share it with his former ward.
