Can someone tell Batman why not?!?

robin...
dick.

is the storyline that the Graysons stole someone's trapeze moves, and therefore they were justifiably kiled under circus law? And now Batman has to kill Robin under that same circus law, because he's a real stickler for following the law, even circus law?

Robin's... dick is exactly what I would call the rich man's climbing tool in the first image above. Am I wrong? Or does it look totally like a sex toy?

its weird that sienkiewicz is now inking this, after all those years painting himself out of that 'neal adams' copyist tag

For my review of this I was planning on posting that first page and just leave it at that. Sadly, I have no scanner and GIS was coming up with nothing so I just posted two clips from IRMA VEP.

A fellow Miriam Toews fan, huh?

I can't stop thinking about what happened to that axe between panels (and for the rest of the issue!)

oh why did i ever stop following batman...

Has Batman been naked this whole time?

ALSO: special appearance by Bane.

...NUMBED TO VIBRATING OBLIVION, BATMAN IS JACKED AROUND LIKE A PUPPET.

dayummmm

IT... THE BODY JERKS ABOUT SO UNCONTROLLABLY, IT MORE RESEMBLES A MAD MARIONETTE THAN A HUMAN BEING.
IN FACT IT CAN'T FALL UNTIL ALL THE JACKING STOPS.

i have to go get this now, literally tearing up a little

feel I should reiterate the Burroughs parallels here lol

That "...Ruben Blades..." thing is still bugging the hell out of me all these months later.

Wow. Does no one edit Adams' scripts, or did they just not care? I mean, the "jacking" thing is just...words fail me.

the only thing that bothers me is the illegibility of the white text and the cut-and-paste "BADA"s. thank you comicraft for ruining comics forever.

that's the ONLY THING about this that bothers you

all this batmarionette stuff is less bothersome than adams' plate tectonics weirdness. it's good that he found an outlet!

#1. Visually touch the body in front of you. Caress it with your eyes, drink it in slowly.
#2. Close your eyes; remember the body you've just seen, then slowly undress it.
#3. Reach out, and without touching, show what you want to do to the body in front of you
#4. Put your right hand upon the shoulder of the body in front of you.
#5. Rhythmatically move your body to the beat.
#6. Physically touch the body in front of you in every way imaginable.
#7. Lose complete mental control, and begin to jack.

I would never forgive myself for buying this, but I really want to buy this.

FORTUNE FAVORS THE BRAVE (AND THE BOLD), ACE IN THE HOLE!

Dear God. The combination of that incredible Bruceface and the "cross between Jon Hamm and Christopher Lloyd" comment almost killed me. This thread just keeps on giving.

It begs the question, just how deranged and incomprehensible would this have to get before DC would consider not publishing it? And the answer is, of course, they never would, because they know anything with Neal Adams name on it will sell on that basis alone. The quality or lack thereof is basically irrelevant.

The fact that a recent Kevin Smith Batman story had the Caped Crusader admit to pissing himself would indicate Adams has a long way to go before anyone would try to reign him in. The obvious lack of simple copy-editing & continuity-minding speaks volumes too. But, please DC, give me more balls-out insanity of this variety than the mopey Rise of Arsenal stuff.

BATMAN: ODYSSEY: Not a dream! Not a hoax! Not an Imaginary Story (Cuz, Dude - Bane!)!

Never forget.
