September 2010. As Bruce contemplates his very narrow escape from the Black Glove in BATMAN #701, he fields a call from Superman, who is always operating on a completely different wavelength. Morrison's observation here about Batman's relationship with his costumed colleagues isn't exactly new — witness the well-known scene in JUSTICE LEAGUE: TAS where he plunges from the sky while laconically reminding his comrades over the radio that he can't fly, at all — but it is succinct. The central theme of the "Batman: R.I.P." story of which this is part, and really Morrison's key insight into Batman as a character, is that being Batman is part of Bruce Wayne's determination to always control the narrative, no matter what. This brief scene is a reminder that however much love or respect Bruce may have for Clark, Superman's mere presence makes that control very difficult, because Superman by his very nature exists in a world of alien visitors, cosmic crises, and evil gods.

In the late '80s and throughout the '90s, it became very de mode to insist that Batman had a sort of Luthorian dread of super-people and was never more than one or two steps away from plotting their extermination, but Morrison's take is simpler than that: The core issue for Bruce is not necessarily that he mistrusts people with superhuman powers, but that when he's around them, they expect him to be a superhero, and not just a costumed mystery-man with a head full of esoteric knowledge and a belt full of Bat-gimmicks. It's true, too — I'm reminded of WORLD'S FINEST COMICS #278, back in 1982, where Katar Hol decides it's time for some regime change on his home planet Thanagar and recruits Superman and Batman to help him. What's most striking about the story is that neither Katar nor Superman even bothers to ask if Bruce might need to stop by the cave to pick up anything before they fly off to invade an alien world 400 light years away. They just expect him to roll with it, because after all, he's Batman, isn't he?

Synopsis: Batman and Robin are following a new criminal who calls himself the Getaway Genius, which is an alias used by an old foe of Batman. However, during the chase, the dynamic duo lost him and they decide to search in the sewers, to no avail.

They return to the Batcave, where Damian is pissed at Dick for allowing a common thief to escape. The whole scene reminds Dick of a time when he would berate at Bruce for allowing the original Getaway Genius escape. Dick starts explaining the situation to Damian, but they are interrupted by Red Robin, who arrives with bad news, as their latest failure to capture the thief has made it to the front page of the Gotham Gazette. Dick decides that it's time to put and end to the persecutuion and he goes to talk to the person responsible for the article; Vicki Vale.

After a long time of searching for her at the Gazette building, Dick finally finds her and gives her a message to stop following Bruce Wayne and trying to make connections with him and Batman. However, the visit was not only a warning as Dick manages to place a tracer on Vicki's camera before leaving.

Elsewhere in Gotham, the thief, who turns out to be a woman under the name of Olivia Reynolds II remembers her father, the original Getaway Genius and she starts planning her next robbery.

In the meantime, Damian keeps training in the Batcave, where he is still frustrated at Dick for allowing the thief to escape. Alfred tries to calm him down by telling him that even Bruce, his father, would have reasons to let a "common thief" escape on certain occassions. However, they are both left wondering if Bruce would ever come back to them.

Moments later, there's a victorian ceremony taking place in Gotham, and Vicki Vale is the main reporter and photographer at the Gazette. She keeps track of the people in the gala, but soon she spots a robbery in progress and starts taking pictures of Batman and Robin getting into action. The duo know that the thief is the Getaway Genius again, but they soon lost the thief in the crow. Batman locates her and knocks her out with a strong punch. It is then that they learn that the thief is a female, but she tricks them and manages to run away with her special cloaking suit. Olivia reaches her car without the stolen loot, but when she tries to start it, she realizes that the car has been damaged by Red Robin.

The police arrive soon and arrest Olivia. Batman, Robin and Red Robin watch the scene from the distance and after Red Robin leaves, Dick tells Damian that when Bruce allowed the original Getaway Genius to escape was because he knew that the man was stealing medicine for his own illness. Bruce would then pay for the stolen medicines and allowed the man to be alive long enough to share time with his daughter. Damian is touched by the story and he would like to know more about his father, but Dick tells him that he will, whenever Bruce returns.

Later that night, Vicki is watching some of the pictures she managed to take from the vigilantes and she is determined to prove their connections to the Wayne family. Vicki has also discovered the traced that Dick placed in her camera and is only a few steps closer to find the truth.

So I looked it up and the colorist is Ian Hannin.

Sorry for putting you on the spot like that but also why?

Terry and Rachel Dodson's take on Green Goblin could be Prime Modern Goblin Design but there's too much fucking purple in here for a character called *Green* Goblin.

Big Box of Valiant Book Two-

Harbinger Vol. 1: Omega Rising - Joshua Dysart (writer); Khari Evans with Matthew Clark, Lewis LaRosa, and Jim Muniz (art); Matt Ryan and Sean Parsons (inks); Ian Hannin with Moose Baumann, Jeremy Cox, and Chris Sotomayor (colors); Rob Steen (letters).  Valiant Comics 2012.

This book isn’t as fun as X-O Manowar.  Basically, if you’ve seen Stranger Things, or read Firestarter or Akira, you already know the deal.

Teenager Peter Stanchek is a powerful telekinetic (or “psiot”).  Peter and his schizophrenic pal Joe have escaped from the nut hut and are living by their wits in abandoned apartments and vacant houses in the suburbs, trying to stay one step ahead of the authorities.  Peter is picked up by the sinister (and most likely evil) Harada Global Conglomorates, where other psi-powered kids are being activated as “Harbingers,” basically the New Mutants but everybody’s Rachel Summers.

The more time Peter spends around his fellow Harbingers the more creeped out he gets by the program and its founder, powerful psiot (and billionaire) Toyo Harada.  Peter learns that Harada has been performing painful medical procedures on teenagers to activate their psionic powers, often with deadly results.  Peter briefly befriends fellow psiot Faith Herbert, who helps him escape, before discovering that his old pal Joe has been murdered by the company.  Peter declares war on Harada, while Faith is just stoked to finally be a real superhero.

This story covers real familiar ground for any X-Men or Stephen King fans in the audience.  Thankfully the creators avoid the Gen 13 route of making all the Harbingers instant superfriends; at the end of Book One only Faith and Peter are on the outside, while the other Harbingers are still under Harada’s employ (for the time being at least).  Faith brings a lot of much-needed levity to the story, and I’d like to read more about Livewire in future volumes as well.

The art matches the story’s gritty, angsty tone.  I was impressed with the attention to detail, especially in the grimy Pittsburgh crackhouses and suburban neighborhoods and Harada’s swanky penthouse.  The characters are very grounded and realistic, for the most part the artists avoid idealized superhero physiques and crazy effects (there aren’t any dayglo psychedelic battles on the Astral Plane, for example), which makes the supernatural elements feel more shocking than they would in a different type of cape comic. 

I didn’t love Harbinger but I’m definitely interested to see where it goes.

Synopsis: Batman and Robin find themselves fighting against a new incarnation of the old Hangmen while a mysterious man keeps a close eye on their activities. Batman and Robin manage to capture almost every criminal of the team, except for Killshot, who manages to escape just before the Gotham City Police Department arrive at the crime scene to apprehend the captured criminals.

The mysterious man keeps watching Batman and Robin's activities, but he is not the only one doing so. Vicki Vale is also witnessing the scene and taking pictures of the whole event, with the intention of discovering the true identity of the vigilantes. Vicki takes a small traced that was placed on her camera by Dick Grayson and taking it close to her mouth, she speaks to the device, adressing the message to Bruce Wayne, and warning him that she would reveal the truth about Batman if he didn't meet her until the next day. Her message was received by none other than Alfred, who was doing some chores in the Batcave.

Moments later, Batman and Robin have reached a warehouse following a tracer Batman placed on Killshot. to learn who was behind the killing attempt against the mayor. They drop inside the place and crash the meeting of criminals taking place at the moment. Batman and Robin start taking the criminals down, one by one until they notice the presence of an intruder in the place. They try to fight the mysterious man, but he evades them with extremely good accuracy and locates a weapon which he destroys before leaving the place. Batman and Robin couldn't do much but wonder who was the mysterious man and why did he destroyed the weapon. In the meantime, Killshot has managed to escape yet again.

At that moment, Viki Vale meets with Bruce Wayne in one of Gotham's most expensive restaurants and she is determined to get an answer from him. However, Bruce's arrogant and spoiled attitude prevents her from getting an straight answer and instead, Bruce wins her morale by kissing her by surprise. After dinner, Bruce leaves the table and tells Vicki that they could probably meet again sometime in Wayne Manor. As Bruce leaves, Vicki somehow knows that something is very wrong and when Bruce reaches the limousine where Alfred was waiting for him, it is revealed that Bruce is in fact Thomas Elliot, impersonating Bruce and taken to the meeting by Alfred, who is now ready to take Elliot back to the penthouse prison.

Batman and Robin follow the tracer on Killshot again and find him at the nearest heliport, where they finally capture him and let him ready for the police to apprehend. In the meantime, the mysterious man keeps watching their activities and firmly believes that the new dynamic duo is doing a jood job in the city.

Just hours later, at Vicki's apartment, she finally realizes that the man she just met was not Bruce Wayne and following her investigations, she deduces that Bruce is somehow missing and Dick has taken the mantle of the Bat, leaving only one question to be answered, "where is the real Bruce Wayne?"

As dawn breaks in Gotham, the mysterious man arrives to a secret base of operations, where he meets with Red Robin and, taking off his mask, he reveals himself as Bruce Wayne. Bruce has been observing Dick and Damian's activities to measure their qualification for their new roles. Bruce is actually satisfied, but Red Robin informs him that the Hangmen's killing attemp had been replicated on several other parts of the world, making this a whole conspiracy or murder. Red Robin knows that they must lure the assassins to Gotham in order to capture them and Bruce tells him that he is going to be the perfect bait.

While writing on his "White Casebook", Bruce explains the reasons that make Dick and Damian good for the roles of Batman and Robin, while also pondering why they aren't good enough. However, he admits that they are going to be part of a larger plan of his, but before that, he has to visit some of his other allies.
