Doc Savage in the DCU!

[C. Lee]

Thanks for posting that C.Lee. I gotta learn how to do that..mostly I just post the links. lol That pic is so awesome. I cant to wait to see pics of Black Canary, Wildcat, The Avenger, Rima, and The Blackhawks!

No problem. I love looking at the bigger pictures myself....so I copied it to my computer and I'm saving it with a lot of pics I have. I'll probably print off a good copy to save also. I have a big Doc collection of all kinds of things. If you like Doc, check out this site http://www.miscmayhemprods.com/doc/

So are the pulp heroes being added, or just a fun crossover?

I feel like I've heard it either way

It's going to be a pulp universe...with some comic character crossovers. It's another dimension.

I'll be curious to see if DC chooses to do a Batman book based in this universe.

Funny....people at that site already complaining about Batman having guns. This is set in another universe....anything can be different there.

no the guy with a blanket on his back

I can't understand it either and if they look at early history Batman did carry a gun. I know in regular DCU Batman and most other stories Batman doesn't like guns. But as you said this is a Batman from another universe. I see no reason why this Batman can be different and use guns.

 

[Drz]

So does this Batman kill or just use guns to hurt people and stuff? Just wondering. I love the scene where he's smoking a cigar and having that "hey doll" face. =D

 

[CrimsonMist]

SI love the scene where he's smoking a cigar and having that "hey doll" face. =D

Pretty sure that's a mini flashlight.

But i love the look alright. Azzarello is becoming one of my favorite writers in comics. I love his take on Batman. So this should be pretty damn good.

 

[Cobblepot]

So this is introducing the Batman from the universe of 1939?

 

[TheDarkKnight08]

Will Batman be spinning off into his own series?

Either way, I haven't been this excited for a comic series in a while...t:

no the guy with a blanket on his back

....Batman? Or is there another picture i'm not seeing?

Linus?

He's talking about Batman. It was a joke.

One thing that I'm actually anticipating is how they use the Hawks. I really don't even know the actual extent of the main characters' interaction, but I'm curious to see how, not only they all interact, but just how the Blackhawks would play off of guys like Denny and the Doc. The potential for this series is staggering to me.

We’ve been parsing out some of these amazing Rags Morales sketches (chock-full of info from FIRST WAVE writer Brian Azzarello) bit-by-bit as we lead into the BATMAN/DOC SAVAGE SPECIAL #1 hitting shelves this week. And we’ve got a look at some other characters that will be populating the FIRST WAVE world, including the Spirit, Rima the Jungle Girl and a certain Black Canary. Swing by Thursday for the final installment, won’t you?

Nice..got mine on reserve already!

The character sketches for Denny and Benson are great. Not just the art, but the direction they want to take the characters' arcs in. The 'adrenaline junkie' angle for Denny is kinda neat. I also like the idea of turning Ebony into a street smart chick. I cannot wait for this book.

I am really looking forward to this. I was hoping DC would do something Noirish, ever since I picked up a few Marvel Noir issues. Call me crazy, but the noir idea works better in the DCU.
