Another New 52 title is on the chopping block: JLI is being cancelled and replaced by another unnamed title.

Odd how OMAC found his way into JLI after his own book got cancelled, and now JLI is going to be shit canned. I forsee other titles getting canned soon to: Batwing, Firestorm and Hawkman.

I R Sad, Grant Morrison is leaving Action Comics after issue 16.

I wish he would of stayed on for another 10 issues or so but that's just me but hey maybe now he can start working on friggin Multiversity! ):<

Oh and I got a new Wonder Woman book from the library, the twelve trials I believe it's called and I also got a flash book too. Showcase Presents: the trial of the flash and... it's a hardcover!?

Resurrection Man - an amazing New 52 title. Read it.

[The One and Only]

I've read somewhere the long, long, long, long, long, awaited MULTIVERSITY will be finally coming out next year. And speaking of alternate realities, rumor has it that a Justice League/Justice Society crossover is being brewed. Also, is anyone else here enjoying AQUAMAN as much as I am ?

Seriously? Aw yeah, that rocks!

A league/society crossover? I'll be reading that, that's for sure! I've been meaning to check out those trades who's name escapes me that collects all the classic ones.

And Aquaman? Haven't read him up yet, been meaning too but once I'm all caught up flash wise and GL as well I'll definitely hit him up!

Aquaman is possibly one of the top 10 best of the 60 titles released so far the past year. I couldnt believe how bad ass Arthur could be! If you liked Aquaman, check out Resurrection Man.

I heard the Joker was going to make a reapperance, does anybody know where and when? I haven't been reading the New 52, but I might pick up and issue if he returns.

He was already in Detective Comics #1 (9/2011).

[The One and Only]

The Joker makes a horrific,official return this October with issue thirteen of BATMAN.

[wataru]

....except he never left, TO&O. He was in DC #1, got his face cut off and this is just the next story.

[The One and Only]

I had read an article on the story of the Joker's big comeback,and it had indicated that the Joker featured in Detective was actually Nightwing using a holographic disguise for some operation. And other the Clown Prince of Crime's face hanging on a peg at the issue's end, the Jack Napier hadn't put in an official appearance as of yet in the DCnU.

[wataru]

Post the link to the article, because the year off Joker was away planning his revenge from 9/2011 to 10/2011 is a part of the story.

From the article:
The Joker's first New 52 appearance saw him captured in the pages of "Detective Comics" #1, and issue that ended with Batman's archnemesis voluntarily allowing the Dollmaker to carve off his face while incarcerated in Arkham Asylum. Snyder and Capullo depicted The Joker in "Batman" #1 -- although the issue later revealed it to be an undercover Dick Grayson using holographic technology.

Point proven.

So I'm looking to get into Batman. I was just gonna watch the Animated Series but the boxsets are like $40-60 and I was like skreeonk that. I remember Jon Leo on the old forums gave me a list of graphic novels to check out but I can't go back and see now. I've read Dark Knight Returns but that's about it and it's not even in the 'official' Batimeline.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

You can buy the animated series volumes for around $20 on Amazon (although vol. 2 is a bit more, for some reason).

Dude you wanna talk about cash? I dont know if youve heard of Columbia House. It's a movie club that you could order movies from through the mail. They had 'clubs' where they'd send you a VHS tape with episodes from TV shows for ~$30 each. Normaly you'd get 2-3 episodes per show. I belonged to the BTAS club. I had the entire series on like a billion VHS tapes from them. Imagine the dough I put out. I replaced the entire VHS series for DIVX downloads a few years ago.

I think that there is also a "Complete Series" release of the Batman animated series.

Wow and that's usually the first place I check. Think I'll start with Vol. 1.
