An edgier hero for a more edgier age

As DC’s June semi-relaunch hits, Snyder continues his work on Batman, with very big—and as yet unrevealed—changes in the works on the title.

Newsarama: Scott, we’ve heard a lot about the three big ongoing things being the Darkseid War in Justice League, plus a “new status quo” in Batman and Superman. So what is this new status quo that we’ve never seen in 75 years of Batman?

Snyder: Well, it’s true that you’ve never seen it. It’s definitely the wackiest thing we’ve every tried. It’s basically the story where I thought, “If I ever do a story out of continuity, I’d love to do this. But there’s no way I can change the mythology to a degree that I could get to this story.” But…here we are. And the thing I love is that it will allow me to explore the characters from angles that are entirely new. There are two characters the story really focuses on, and they’re both in positions where radical, radical changes affect their status quo. And this will allow me to explore the Bat-world in really, really vibrant perspectives.

[DeathoftheEndless]

Scott Snyder can do no wrong. I'm in.

 

[Spectromixer]

Oh.... Okay.

[TheRealTalker]

already said but he looks more like a evil robo bunny then a bat

 

[lazygecko]

Been there, done that.

 

[Faiz]

rabbitman

Yep. That's a bunny.

 

[Sephzilla]

wat

 

[Chairhome]

The announcement is making everyone jump to conclusions. I want to see what direction this takes and how long it will really last.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Bugs Bunny has had it up to here with Gotham's shit

 

[ninjabat]

Lot of firepower, maybe he kills in this.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Haha, awesome. Thought Endgame would be the last Batman for me for a while, but it looks like I'm going to have to keep reading.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Im actually kinda glad the New 52 let me off the hook with comics.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Batman fused with Blue Beetle?!?

I thought he was the Blue Beetle.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Batman is a robot. Sure. Will read. Snyder and Capullo are a combination that I will follow to the end.

do u even read snyder?

Scott Snyder can do no wrong. I'm in.

[Sojgat]

So is this the short period of time when some creators can go crazy, before DC gets rebooted to pre-new 52 continuity?

 

[Gambit 1138]

.

yea I find his stuff really boring. Im struggling to get through death in the family right now

This looks interesting though but why didn't he just bring back the real deal:

 

[Parallax]

they should have brought in paladin, or worked on the paladin world

 

[Toxi]

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say that costume's a Blue Beetle.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Man, you really like that quote, huh?

Anyway, I kind of like the design. You got Appleseed in my Batman, etc. We'll see how it plays out; I'm expecting it to be an AI or something, rather than a repeat of the Jean Paul Valley situation.

Ain't nothing wrong with that.

 

[Shaanyboi]

They're already relaunching in June, same time this hits.

 

[RC]

Yep. That's a bunny.

 

[Sou Da]

Trying to kill Babs? The hero we all deserved tbh.

 

[Schweinehund]

They're already relaunching in June, same time this hits.

this is extremely misleading wording in this context.

Spoiler

All they're doing is dropping new 52 logo from the cover

 

[Fury451]

Hahaha, what?

Seriously guys, what's the new Batman like?

Because this is some Marvel 2099 stuff.

The use of the terms "wackiest thing we've ever tried" is quite telling. Probably not for the reasons they intend.

 

[styl3s]

If Scott Snyder is involved i am involved.

I will follow that man to hell.

 

[Gambit 1138]

You mean imitation blue beetle right? because BB looks like this:

 

[nubbe]

THE TICK!!!! LIIVVEESS

 

[Poodlestrike]

No, man. He means Blue Beetle.

Who looks like this:

<---------

 

[Sandfox]

Let's see how long this lasts.

 

[jackal27]

What on earth.

DC, you have 1 super hero who is cooler than any super hero in any super hero comic anywhere and you decide to Robocop-reboot him?

 

[Wingfan19]

Just set up a jam box and watch it dance.

 

[Alienous]

What the fuck does Batman do to the Joker to deserve this?

 

[JimJamJones]

Wait, so Batman is Iron Man now?

 

[Schweinehund]

What on earth.

DC, you have 1 super hero who is cooler than any super hero in any super hero comic anywhere and you decide to Robocop-reboot him?

I cannot live this comic book lifestyle anymore.

 

[Parch]

OK. I'll take a wait and see on this.
They've had such good success with their animated stuff being all-ages, so I hope this isn't aimed a kids.

 

[Avixph]

That's not going to happen.

 

[shiftplusone]
