Batman is my, and probably many others' favourite character.

When it comes to the Golden and Silver ages it features some very campy stuff and homages to pop culture at the times, but it still has some essentials for  Bat-Fans. And a huge selection of first appearances from Alfred to the Scarecrow, and the obvious one in the title, and others. 

Btw each cover has art by the late, great Darwyn Cooke.

Also as a side note the World's Finest Comics aren't a batman/superman team-up book,but it was back in the day a comic feauturing a batman and superman story separately,so they never really worked together.Which is a point i make since the Superman Golden age stuff collect only his side of the stories and  this Batman's.

Underrated:Tom Taylor's Suicide Squad

I call it underrated because no one seems to really talk about it.And its an AMAZING series.
Probably the strongest point to Tom Taylor's writing is just how much of the DC universe he is using.
With characters like Magpie,Cavalier and Zebra-man,freaking Zebra-man,and guess what he got nothing to do with Zebras.


A big change is that Amand Waller is no longer in charge of Task Force X it's some other shmuck.

A problem i had with previous suicide squad series is that they introduced new, never before seen villains just so they can have cannon fodder for the book,because what is a Suicide Squad book without someone getting killed in action.
But this book makes the majority of its members new characters like Osita, Jog, Wink and others, while it sounds like a bad idea, in the end they are probably the best part about this comic.
They have a personality, goals and when some of them die you feel somehing, because it matters.



What I'm expecting is more great Harley moments and other characters appearing as well.Maybe some actual fun with Zerba-man or some other stuff idk, and of course more Deadshot action.


A strong 5 out of 5 bullets for this one.




The Suicide Squad is the name of two fictional organizations appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.
