After all they all have their own title, if you like them, you can always read their own title. Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl, Birds of Prey etc. I must admit i like Nightwing as much as Batman.


I heard some awesome NEWS !!!!

Question Omnibus, vol. 2, Young Justice Omnibus, vol. 1 and not an omnibus but Batman: Gotham After Midnight Deluxe edition will be available in further 2023. (:

It is also announced The Flash by William Messner Loebs Omnibus, vol. 1, Justice League International Omnibus, vol. 3 and not an omnibus but Superman: Emperor Joker Deluxe Edition. I don't know when these 3 will be available though.

Yeah, IMO, the concept of a Bat-family is ridiculous. Bats is a loner and there is no way he would ever put a young boy in harms way or allow dipsh!ts who dress like him to follow at his heals. Nightwing I can understand but not the rest.

I like there being some members of the Bat Family (like other heroes having "family" heroes). But I do think it has gone on a little too far for all heroes. I think that there are just too many extended character for each hero and they just go into comic book limbo or become cannon fodder. It would be nice if they could pair down somewhat, maybe some just retiring or even some being killed off.

I better start to my The Flash marathon with William Messner Loebs Omnibuses, then i will read Mark Waid Omnibuses and then Geoff Johns Omnibuses and Lastly Francis Manapul Omnibus. It will be a long Marathon.

I agree with you Mister H, Batman having a Robin is a total child abuse. Batman has always been depicted as a nobel, wholsome and damaged guy in modern comics (except All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder title... lol) such a guy would never put a child in harms way. Especially damaged part of him wouldn't allow that, Batman is scared of losing someone more than anything because of how he lost his parents in a horrible way at an early age. Such a guy scarred with tragedy would never put anyone other than himself on harms way and couldn't get close to anyone even if he wanted, let alone build a family around himself from teenagers... lol But this is super hero comics... Super Hero Comics hardly makes any sense most of the time. lol It is all about suspending your disbelief. lol

I enjoyed Secret Six for a little while. Might check it out. Was Hitman supposed to be DC’s Punisher? Never read that one.

I read some of both.

I read the begining of Hitman and really liked it but couldn't find any physical copy of it. It follows the adventures of a Hitman called Tommy Monogan. It is a satire. Tommy Monogan is a pretty cool character. He is ex military, Gulf War veteran, He is Irish, Some kind of parasite bit him in the DC event called Bloodlines and gave him powers. He has X Ray vision and telepathy. His eyes are pich black without any white parts so he wears sun glasses to hide them. After Tommy got his powers, he decided to become a Hitman who went after metahumans and supernatural creatures. He is from a fictinal irish district called Couldron like Daredevil's Hellskitchen. As far as i remember Batman appeared at some part and you know infamous Ennis... He made fun of Batman, played with his dignity... :/ But if we exclude that part, it looked like the run had a really big potential.

I read Secret Six until i quit comics in 2009 then came back to comics in 2013. Secret Six was a decent read as far as i read. It was a satire, Gail really liked to make fun of Bane... Poor Bane...lol these infamous girls called Gail and Nicola even made fun of Batman in their Secret Six run... tsk tsk tsk bad move...

Yeah, this is the famous Denis O'Neil and Neal Adams Run where Green Arrow's sidekick, Speedy (Roy Harper) turned out to be a drug addict.
