Agreed. Had this been the suit they used during the series run there would have been no mod that could have protected the SV board from their wrath. On a side note though fans who asked and pushed for this book really need to step up and buy it. The debut issue came in at 98th of the top 100 comics of last month. If it doesn't do any better it will be canceled.

First great to see we are indeed finally getting batman in sv universe. After teases before and bq, hinting towards it before. Definately can't wait to see how bqm writes him and fits him into the sv world. The cover looks interresting only thing I don't like is the overrally huge bat symbol.

[vantheman77]

This is awesome as we get to see what Batman would be like in Smallville. I can't wait to see how their meeting goes.

Holy Batman, Smallville!! Phantom Lady #2

June 11, 2012
So getting to draw Superman was amazing and now I get to add the Dark knight to the list! HOLY PINCH ME, BATMAN!
The September solicits are out and look who is coming to Smallville!


As usual I am doing the digital covers and here is a teaser for Detective

looks a little better but just waiting to see it colored in.

I'm not a fan of the digital format. It doesn't satisfy me and still leaves me wanting a hard copy. But in saying that I'm waiting on the trades. I think this might have worked better in the way they're releasing the Earth One line.

[Webhead2006]

Personally the earh one line been taking for ever for release. So I rather take a book coming out every month over earth one long wait/delays.

Well the way the Earth One line was intended to be released then.

[Binker]

It looks like a Batman manga, a badly made Batman manga, and this is coming from a guy who like japanese...anything. I hope it changes, but then again it most likely will. I mean we didn't really know what to think about the SUperman suit until more images came out.

[Rockstar]

It's Owlman from the Crime Syndicate.


Better question is who's that masked guy in the background? Looks almost like a female version of Robin.

[Webhead2006]

well the article does say its not final art, plus since its only cover art maybe the final art will look better/different.

[Rockstar]

Hmmm. Apparently Batman's female sidekick is some hybrid of the Katanna character and Robin.

She's wielding a sword.

[Johnny]

Every costume introduced in Smallville had the same reception. Doesn't surprise me one bit people don't like something different yet again.

that may be the paper comics, but supposedly the digital issues were doing pretty well.

[Dangerman]

I hope so because I do like this season 11 and while I am not crazy about the suits (and because it is a change just because they looks god awful) I really enjoy the writing and story and can actually see this happening on the show. So I hope to see it continue because if the digital is selling like the paper comics it might not last because what we may consider as selling well my not be the same in comic standards.

[Young Superman]

AWESOME! It's about time The Dark Knight came to Smallville.

Maybe it would help if they started releasing the print issues with the good cover art they save for the digital issues instead of the crappy ones they've been using for the print issues.

[Milos]

He better have some interaction with Chloe, since she is the only one who actually knows him!

[Johnny]

Milos actually has a point lol.

[Webhead2006]

I am sure bqm won't forget that.

[JosephCAW]

I dont have a problem with the overall suit.....just the mask....he's "BAT"man, why does his mask look like a Owl?

[Johnny]

Maybe BQM and Pere Perez are into the Court of Owls storyline.
