HE RETURNS.
So.

Batman: The Battle for the Cowl has come and gone, and lo, it was a total clusterfuck, as was widely expected.

But.

There was one page in #3 that made me sit up. Made me laugh, made me cheer. I speak of the uncalled-for return of one of the greatest characters of the Bat-mythos.

Of which luminary do I speak? I SHALL TELL YOU.

BATMAN JONES!

Tony Daniel, I want to have your baby. My relative lack of uterus may be a slight hindrance, but life will find a way. And when our child is born? We shall name him... or her... BATMAN DANIEL.

BATMAN JONES!

Well, now they've gone and done it. The timeline, it has exploded.

Oooh, and if they're reintroducing kids who owe their names to Batman, can we get that Thomas kid that Bats delivered while Robin was fighting the ghost of the guy AzBats had killed? Can we? Can we?

And while we're at it, I think there should be more kids with Robin as a first name in Gotham. Or as a middle name at least, if their parents weren't feeling crazy.

Bring out your legacy babies. Like bring out your gay dead and fridged girlfriends, only less rage-inducing.

I like how he got a race-lift in the process. Just makes the whole thing even crackier.

If by race lift you mean they made him white... Batman Jones was always white. Frankly, I don't know what race he is under that hood.

The full lips, almond eyes, and dark skin suggest that he's black.

Maybe. His skin tone is no different than Two Face's not scarred side a few panels ago, though.

with those arched eyebrows, almond eyes and full lips, that he looks like a she, no?

It's the cheekbones that are doing it for me, but absolutely.

I was thinking the same thing. Methinks you are hiding something, Batman Jones.

you're both right! aaargghh, you mean we haven't seen the last of her yet? sloppy work, talia.

I doubt this is Talia. It's too mischievous a thing for her to do; she's always struck me as more of the serious type. My guess would be that it's either a yet-to-be-properly-introduced character, or an existing member of Batman's supporting cast.

Talia tried to kill Jezebel Jett. If this is Jezebel then Talia did sloppy work is what I think he's saying

Oh. OK. Who's Jezebel Jett?

the villain of the recent Batman RIP arc. She was a very obvious evil love interest for Bruce. Her turning on him was so obvious, especially with her name, that it was commented in the old LJ that she may as well have been called "Treachery McBoobs"

Yes yes YES yes yes! I begged for this five years ago.

I'm surprised you didn't link to this too. Batman Jones grew fast.

I want a bat-bike. I'm totally going to get one when I go back to the trail crew because then I'll have money to buy a bike in the first place. And I'll have a headlight with a tiny bat-signal and everything.

So, the Scary Bat-God that lives in Bruce Wayne's head is, in fact, God to Gotham City.

Still, most of the more "established" criminals like the Penguin and Two-Face aren't *that* scared of Batman.

they fear him more than the Marines and Army it seems(a little ridiculous there, should have just said National Guard) which I can believe

I was wondering what the deal with that guy was! That's actually pretty funny.

He wears the mask to cover the deformities from the horrible beatings he got all the way through school.

And don't sing that theme to him or he will have your throat.

I'm thinking Middle Eastern woman from cheekbones, lips, and eyes.

But man, I really need a hood that large. Doing that whole face-in-shadow bit never works for me.

Hot damn. My dream of the BATMAN JONES & BOB PHANTOM FUNTIME SPECTACULAR is one step closer to reality. Two steps, between this and the general return of the Archie heroes.
