That preview looks good... I like the way the art looks on this.

I think Croc has mutated even further, he looks even less human.

Seems that he has. But even before when his mutation was still growing and was seeking a cure, he didn't appear to look human at all...

Yea. I think from reading Hush Returns you find out that Riddler and Hush infected him with a virus making his mutation even more farther...also in an issue after Under the Hood I believe you learn even more about his mutation.

Exactly.

 

[trustyside-kick]

I believe it was the issue inbetween the end of Under the Hood and Family something? I forget the second word but that should be a more specific location. The Killer Croc one that I was talking about is only one issue long.

Batman #642

 

[trustyside-kick]

Ya...and didn't Black Mask talk about something he was going to do to Killer Croc in that issue too? People keep picking on Croc man.

it has been awhile since i read batman comics last i read was : the Hush series and Batman #645 but im getting them from now on again
but one question why did Batman/Robin etc. leave Gotham??

 

[sinewave]

in one issue of either gotham knights or detective comics they showed how someone had implanted a mindcontrol chip in croc's brain but he discovered it and dug it out with his claws.

We'll probably find out more of the details of when 52 begins, all we know so far is that the Bat-family took a trip around the world during the missing year. Although, in Teen Titans Wonder Girl asks Robin as to why he left after Superboy's death and responds so he could get better while training.

i see thnx , i thought maybe they said something about in Batman #650 or Dark Detective Comics #816

The only mentioning of their disappearence was in issue #817, where Gordon and the officer he had by his side were welcoming them back. When it was revealed that they had taken the trip, was in Robin #148. Bruce asks Tim why he left him and Dick in Budapest to come back to Gotham.

ok thnx i read 817 today but not the ones before the One Year Later arc, thnx for clearing that up

Yep, that's it.

Batwoman

Batwoman

Meh...not that great a costume. Do we know her I.D. yet?

 

[Dope Nose]

I don't think so, but my money's on Babs.

 

[sinewave]

Batwoman

looks like it could be babs, what with the red hair. could be a wig, though, kinda like dinah used to use. i like the costume. it's reminiscent of the batman beyond look. i'd really rather have her hair covered under a cowl, though. i've never understood why these female vigilantes run around with their long hair flying free. the first think i would do if fighting a person with long hair at close range would be to grab a hand full of hair so they couldn't get away and then just beat the heck out of them.

what's that image from?

 

[Fledermaus]

I don't think its Babs. What about the fact that

Spoiler

Joe Chill was arrested and imprisioned for murdering Bruce's parents?

 

[Dope Nose]

not sure how I feel about that. I used to like the fact that the Waynes' murder was never solved - it was as if with every crook that Batman took down he was symbolically avenging his parents' death. on the other hand, Joe Chill is classic bat-continuity.

 

[Fledermaus]

I'm guessing it may have been influenced by the movie. That aside, it kind of changes Batman from a revenge-driven psycho to a crusader for justice.

I'm sure it will touch on

Spoiler

Bruce, Dick, and Tim's Excellent Adventure

in 52. But who else want to see a mini about it?
