I grew up loving Neal Adams and can’t recommend enough the Batman Illustrated by Neal Adams 3 volume set. It features Neal Adams complete Batman work, including covers and special artifacts recolored and remastered. It is just a gorgeous collection.
I am so stoked to see him working on a 12 issue Batman series. This has been rumored and in the worked for some time but to have an official announcement has me really excited. July can’t come soon enough. If you are new to comics and have never seen this creator’s visual work, you are in for a treat. This takes me back to my childhood. Just awesome news!!!
We’ve done some big recordings the past couple of nights and now it is on to editing and releasing content to you.
201 will be this weekend’s release: We talk to colorist Art Lyon about his work on the Shield #7, and have a brief discussion about Batman Widening Gyre.
202 will be released by Wednesday night at the latest: We are joined by Kent Hare to discuss JLA/Avengers Part 1

As promised, I’m not making anyone wait another month for a column. Two weeks is much more manageable, I think.
I hate to say it, but I’m kind of suffering from Batman burn-out right now. I was faced with a budget issue recently to make room for the new Flash series coming out next month in addition to the Zatanna ongoing that I would like to try, so I had to think long and hard about a couple books that I’m just not enjoying as much right now. Those books happened to be Streets of Gotham and Gotham City Sirens. It was a tough choice to make, but when it comes down to it, those are the two books that I’m enjoying the least right now.
And it’s not like I don’t have countless other ways to get a Batman fix. I love Batman and Robin, and Red Robin and Batgirl are probably two of my favorite titles right now. In fact, I absolutely loved the crossover with those two titles earlier in the month. It was so nice to see Tim and Stephanie readjusting to their roles in Gotham as well as how they relate to each other, both personally and professionally. I can see them being friends, at the very least, and maybe re-examining their romance down the road. For the time being though, I think Tim’s headed toward a relationship with Tam Fox.
Episode 200: Our 4 year anniversary month long celebration is here. For this first part, we are joined by Kent Hare as we discuss Justice League Crisis on Two Earths and the Spectre Short.

This has been mentioned at cons over the past couple of years as a possibility and I am thrilled we are not only getting an annual but a mini series. Batman Beyond was a cartoon that really captured the spirit of DC and the whole multiverse concept. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and grab one of the seasons on DVD. It takes place in a possible future where Batman is retired.

I’ve been very curious to see who will be involved in the Superman titles, as I have been enjoying them greatly. I am thrilled Pete Woods is going to be on Action as the artist. I’ve liked his take on Clark’s world since the breathtaking Up,Up, and Away arc from OYL. The past year has made me very Superman happy and I am looking forward to the new teams taking that even farther.
http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/03/12/who-is-the-black-mask/
I am chomping at the bit for this issue. I’ve shared on the show, over multiple segments, who I think Black Mask is. Being totally honest, even if I am wrong on his identity, the most sincere compliment I can give Tony Daniel is that I actually care. I wanted to follow the mystery. I wanted to look at the clues. I want to know who Black Mask is and retrace the steps. That’s the sign of a very well crafted mystery. This is a great example of why the Dick Grayson Batman is so cool.
