Quesada revealed recently, during an edition of Fanboy Radio, that one of the new series being spun out of Civil War is a new New Warriors series.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Look, I've read very few comics in my life, mainly stuff on Silent Hill and Star Wars. Rarely anything for Marvel and DC. Yet I've always enjoyed the feel of it and always ask my various friends questions about the story arcs... I guess I don't want to get into something so huge so I just keep relatively up to date..
But, after hearing here and there and seeing various comic book covers I have a question: What the fuck is Batman's problem? I've seen covers depicting him punching out Superman (even wearing kryptonite rings) and the Green Hornet. I mean, look at this shit! A while ago I heard his own people wiped his memory? WTF's the deal here!? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Any shot of Batman punching Superman with Kryptonite ring is probably part of a story in which one of them has lost control. In the panel you've shown, Guy Gardner, one of the Earthmen Green Lanterns, was yelling at Batman to his face, challenging his authority in the Justice League. Guy was saying stuff like how he could take Batman without his ring. Batman promptly punched him the face and knocked him unconscious. Guy deserved it.

Ha, I read he was shown lying around unconscious for a few ISSUES after that.
Why the memory wipe? I was speaking idiomatically. |

His memory wasn't wiped entirely. In the limited series Identity Crisis, which is probably a couple of years old by now, it is revealed that the members of a former Justice League began mind-wiping villains (via Zatanna's magic) and releasing them back into society as reformed citizens.
Eventually, Dr. Light, whom you may have seen on the Teen Titans show, did something particularly bad. He targeted the loved one of one of the Leaguers. I won't say what he did in case you want to read the story, but the same group of Leaguers decided to mind-wipe Light entirely, practically lobotomizing him. Batman happened to have walked in on this via teleportation tube. So that he wouldn't reveal what they had done, they had Zatanna use her magic to wipe this memory from his mind. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
In case you don't want to read the story, here's what you wanna know with plenty of spoilers:
Spoiler:
Of course, Batman isn't stupid. Identity Crisis led into The Omac Project and finally concluded (I think) in Infinite Crisis. FELIPE NO

As a few probably know, Dave Cockrum, noted artist of the Legion of Superheroes and Uncanny X-Men, passed away recently.
