    The tie-ins better than the main story 1

    I already know what you're thinking, 'how is this better than Blackest Night'? Now, I'm in no way saying that Blackest Night is bad or that issue one was not better than this, but I felt that this book was better than Blackest Night this month because Tomasi is doing what almost every other writer is failing to do with the new Batman and Robin, he writes them right. Tomasi's Batman and Robin is on par with Grant Morrison's. But while Morrison showed how Nightwing didn't have any respect or suppo...

    Batman Casts His Shadow On Blackest Night 1

    Blackest Night is phenomenal. Hundreds of times better then the mess known as Final Crisis. Blackest Night: Batman did not weaken the plot of the main title at all, it only made it stronger and in my opinion was better then Blackest Night #2. The Blackest Night Mini-series are in no way (thus far) a marketing scam to get people to buy anything with Blackest Night plastered to it. Batman fans will be very happy to see that this story has some serious potential as well as our favorite Bat-verse ch...

    Batman and Robin Vs. The Zombie Nation 1

    Impressive book. I have to tell you, that there were some pretty powerfull scenes in this book.  For the most part the good stuff is a conversation between Batman and Robin, and for the first time ever, Damian is humanized. This is something that is not happening to me in the Batman and Robin book.   I also liked seeing Deadman in action again.  That coupled with a chilling phone call to Tim Drake, and the reason for the phone call, helps this crossover keep it's horror movie feel. Mostly though...

    Too much Deadman. 0

    Ummm… I was a bit disappointed with this. It was okay but I think after two great chapters in the main Blackest Night series I was expecting more of the same big action and dark horror, but this didn’t really have it. It mainly sets that up for next issue, and there was too much focus on Deadman for me, and him jumping from body to body. He could easily been given a co-title. Not sure if Tomasi’s writing of Dick and Damian was right for me either, I know the action will be coming next issue, so ...

    brilliant tie-in 0

    4.5 out of 5  i thought this was a fantastic first issue! i enjoyed every single page and you will definately feel as if you can't wait for the next issue (just annoying that its just a 3-issue mini series).   -SPOILERS-  Sene starts off in Gotham City where THOMAS AND MARTHA WAYNE's grave has been dug-up and completely destroyed by Black Hand. Batman compares it to a 'battlefield'. They cover the 2 corpses with their capes and Batman asks for the batmobile. You are then introduced to DEADMAN wh...

    My first Batman Comic, but it's Dick Grayson. 0

    Review:  This book is not my cup a tea, but there are some scenes that shouldn't be over looked. Such as the conversation between Dick and Damian, Deadman (who possessed Btaman) asking the whereabouts of Bruce while being punched by Damian, and a scene where a group of black rings possessing the a bunch of corpse on a plane as though their were about to pop out of the panel.    By looking at the front cover I thought that Dick, who is the current Batman, would be fighting a dead sorcerer or some...

    Blackest Night: Batman Who Burns, Always Burns 1

    "Grayson Is Batman, Bruce Is Dead?" - Deadman. A blackest night tie-in. Batman (Dick Grayson) is fighting against the undead, using the help of Deadman. While other heroes around the world have had to come across pass failures, so will Dick Grayson. Grayson will have to conquer his fears to win Gotham City back!  The Good What a great tie-in! The first few panels on the first page worked perfectly. Dick Grayson was drawn best in the rain at the graveyard site of Thomas and Martha Wayne. Adri...

    Not here right now 0

    While the main story arc of the Blackest Night is struggling a bit to find its footing, this tie-in miniseries puts a human face on the universe wide crisis which is occurring.  Instead of dealing with faraway planets and alien species, this issue focuses on what is DC's most realistic group of heroes, the Bat family.  Unlike usual their detecting skills are mostly absent, or at least not working fast enough to deal with the severity of what is occurring.  Instead it is only through the interfer...
