Batman: May 2009 Archives

One thing I noticed only after posting yesterday's look at various Green Lantern covers by Gil Kane was how many of them teased the reader with the death of Hal Jordan!

I always loved the DC Comics ads that paired up two characters.  Sometimes the pairings were illogical!  I remember seeing this ad for GL #70 and Detective Comics #395.  They got me with this one, I bought them both.  Nuff said.

I took a look at this issue today.  This is truly horrendous, it ends exactly like most people expected--with Dick Grayson taking over the mantle.  $12 to read something terribly executed and find out what people had guessed last year?  A rip-off.  DC should have just jumped into the new Batman without all this shit beforehand.  Nuff said.
