They worked that into Crisis on Infinite Earths or whatever too right?Comic Books!
Actually Golden Age Batman did use a gun quite a few times. He also used to crack people's necks, throw people into vats of acid, say, "quiet or poppa spank" to females,and even 'accidentaly' bump into Robin's backside.

Godzilla was an inside job
Golden Age is the 40s, right? Or do the comics in the 20s and 30s count too? In other words, you aren't referring to the late 50s/early 60s ones with Bat Mite and Bat Woman or the mid 60s ones that took after the cheesy TV series, right?circuitface wrote:Actually Golden Age Batman did use a gun quite a few times.

I've read half through Akira and liked it, but not enough to finish it.
Recently I bought the first issue of XIII, as I just played through the game which I liked A LOT. The comic I think is no more than nice, and seemed very expensive for the 1 h i got out of it.
Next thing I try will be Daniel Clowes' Ice Haven.

land for man to live, sea for machine to function.
Does Green Lantern have any mention of the very first Green Lantern in it? That one had a different suit and, telling from the description I read, I think the background story and weeknesses may be different from the newer Green Laterns, though he still says the classic GL motto.
I'm guessing that some of the older DC comics aren't canon with the later ones. That seems to be the case with Batman. That one went through many changes. Alfred used to be fat, there used to be a different Batwoman and Batgirl that disappeared without any mention, Batmite went away without explination, Batman went from serious, to campy, to serious again, Batman was tough talkin' in the 90s comics, and the list goes on.

You'd be hard pressed to find a Batman comic book from the twenties anyway given when the character was made. 
But yeah, Golden Age Batman was pretty crazy. Someone post up the link to that issue about "The Biggest Boner" (arguably not golden age but it's PURE GOLD).
Random trivia: "The Whisperer" that I mentioned earlier was a Punisher-like vigilante in pulp short stories in the early thirties. A high ranking member of the police administration who at night would go out and administer his own brand of justice, etc. The character's name was James W. Gordon and ended up being an inspiration for the version of the character we now have in the Batman comics.

If comics were free, I'd read 'em all. Fact is, I don't have time or money to head down to the comic store and loiter all the timecircuitface wrote:Man, that's too bad about alot of you guys not reading superhero books. You're missing out on alot of great stuff.
Here's what i say - no one has any right to claim they don't like american superhero comics until they've read Green Lantern Rebirth. Read that and THEN make youre judgement.

I like Supreme Power a lot. It starts out seemingly as a Superman clone and then BLAM! Superpowered convicts ripping hookers apart...
Feedback will set you free.

Reviving an old thread here. I finally got a copy of this comic. While the story and writing are certainly nothing exciting (in fact, it's very poorly structured and kind of boring), the comic has some amazing images in it. Much of the imagery is downright disturbing, but rendered with a very elegant sense of composition. It's pretty interesting.Seven Force wrote:My favorite comic book:
Big fan of all his work.
