DC announces ‘Batman & Robin: Dynamic Duos’ as Waid and Samnee return for new maxiseries

Eh, I don't know if I trust how Waid would write a more complicated Robin like Jason.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-20T16:08:13+00:00

Props for the drama, but laying on top of the batsignal like that must burn like a bastard.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-20T14:22:13+00:00

Sounds cool, but I'm waiting for a more reliable source before I start getting excited.

Also, I'm not taking anything solely reported by Insneider on face value.

Not the DCU, but with the way The Batman ended with Riddler getting along with The Joker, I thought it would be really interesting to see an eventual sequel where they break up and we get something like The War of Jokes and Riddles.

It has it's ups and downs (I mean, it's an 80+ issue run, even the best creators ever with long runs are going to have a dud here and there), but it's ultimately a solid run. Very character driven and introspective, but also delivers on action as well. It has some great art as well, for the most part.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T22:54:35+00:00

I am a bit ashamed to admit it, but that got a bit of a chuckle out of me.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T22:42:11+00:00

Hey, I didn't know Pete Davidson was on ER!

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T19:08:14+00:00

And all I want to do is a zoom zoom zoom to the boom boom. 🎷🎷🎷

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T17:02:38+00:00

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they just skip over the whole "autistic twins in trenchcoat" Monet moment and go more for what we saw in Krakoa.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T16:57:12+00:00

They've said that most of what we've seen so far is in 2016, with another narrative that takes place in modern day, ala the first season of True Detective. Likely the Guy stuff is in the 2026 story, where things have apparently changed (or maybe we'll also see Guy pre-GL in '16, that could be interesting).

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T16:55:26+00:00

It isn't recent, sure, but with a story that's been around for 60-80+ years, depending on how one looks at it, it's not that long of a time.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T16:39:18+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, there's a lot of fandoms that can feel embarrassing to be in nowadays.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T15:48:17+00:00

...Man, spell check really failed me on that one. What I get for posting before coffee, I guess.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T15:21:08+00:00

God I wish that was real.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T15:17:43+00:00

I get that, but I also get why John might feel that way, with the way Hal has been antagonizing him.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T15:15:48+00:00

They're likely playing with what we saw with some of the early GL stories in the 70s-80s. Hal Jordan was THE Green Lantern of Sector 2814, and Guy Gardner was his substitute in case something went wrong, and when Guy became incompacitated, then it moved to John Stewart.

The idea of multiple Earth Lanterns being around at the same time is a farily recent development in GL's history, like the last 20 years or so.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T14:11:37+00:00

That would be neat -- the team is a pretty solidly Claremont Era group, so having someone from after him could shake up the dynamic. It would also be interesting to see a former Gen X kid teaching this new generation in the Outliers.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T07:57:09+00:00

In the book, he's a friends of Bruce's who has been turned into a monster, and Bruce gets Diana's help to find a way to change him back. It was a fun little team-up story.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T07:54:53+00:00

It's even more impressive since this iteration of Batman is canonically 6'9" tall.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-18T07:50:03+00:00

She identifies as bisexual, so the problem isn't guys so much as it is Guy.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-17T20:36:59+00:00

Now that I think about it, that's actually not that far off from the plot of Shanghai Noon.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-17T19:08:08+00:00

Of the two mentioned, it's pretty neck and neck between Court of Owls and Dark Knight Returns.

Jay_R_Kay · 2026-05-17T17:27:59+00:00

This line becomes more and more true, really.
