Can someone tell Batman why not?!?

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.

albino sea monkeys from jamaica

Showing off the sweet discounted utensils they picked up at the military surplus store.

o the lolz

I am so buying this trade

Now, is this better or worse than ALL-STAR BATMAN?

I think better. Maybe.

All-Star Batman was readable and had a story and was in English, so it seems not very crazy in comparison now.

yes but this is way BETTER

wow. no.

wow YESSSSSSSSSSS

It pleases me to think that we're not even half way through the series.

May your adventures be long and bounteous, naked Batman.

7 amd 8 have been resolicited and the rest have been cancelled tho

The news reports I've encountered say the orders have been cancelled - standard practice in ref. to whatever # of copies the shops have requested - not the series.

Though I'd love to see whatever resolution Adams would conjure up on the quick. Maybe it'll involve ghosts.

Or, rather, more ghosts.

shocked SHOCKED to discover ricardo montelban allergy bee is a Neal Adams project!

Jim Steinman's never produced Batman musical. The Best Thing Ever.

In other news, most recent Batman Inc was super-fun

We're never gonna find out whether Bruce was naked or not.
