And finally, proof that Bruce Wayne is not alone in his torment of being subjected to funky outfit changes for the benefit of being sold to color finicky kids, (though check out the line that had Spider-Man as a farmer and a soccer player). Here is Terry McGinnis in an outfit never seen in Batman Beyond! Posted by Steve J. Rogers

Scott Snyder recently sat down with Comics Alliance to talk about his upcoming Zero Year story, why he's doing it, and his love for Year One. He also talks about how he pitched it to the DC editors, Damian's death and Grant Morrison. Comics Alliance: When I heard about Zero Year, I was a little apprehensive. It's pretty well-trod ground, but I know you're a guy who really likes Year One. I mean, you're the one who brought James Gordon Jr. back into continuity. Scott Snyder: Right. Year One is literally one of my…

When we first saw the cover of Batman #19 in the April solicitations, it certainly raised a few questions. Why was Bruce pointing and holding a gun? And just who was he pointing that gun at? Well today over at The Source, they have revealed the other side of Batman #19's gatefold cover, and it shows just who Bruce is pointing that gun at, as well as raising even more questions!

After a night of venting his frustration on the criminals in Gotham City, Bruce returns to the cave to find a letter that Damian wrote, declaring his intention to help Batman fight against Leviathan and stating his love and pride for being Bruce’s son. The best issues say the most with the least amount of dialogue. So it’s with Batman and Robin #18 that the entire story has nary a word or sound effect lettered into the page, leaving with the reader the sense of grief and loss that…

With the announcement of Zero Year being the next big arc in the pages of Batman, writer Scott Snyder has done a couple of interviews with IGN and Newsarama talking about what we can expect in his upcoming story of Batman's early years. IGN: My first question has got to be: exactly how far back does Zero Year go? Scott Snyder: Well, it takes place in the continuity that’s established in our issue #0. So it takes place just over five years ago; almost six years ago. IGN: So is this Bruce’s…

Knightfall is a special story for me. It's the first story that got me to become a full fledged comic book collector as a young kid, and because of that, there are several images from that Batman story that have always stuck out to me. So to kick off my favorite images from Knightfall, I thought it would be best to show my favorite image of the main villain from the story. Bane. Since his introduction, Bane has gone through several costume designs in the comics, several animated…
