Does that Zombie above Damian have a mohawk? My god, mohawk zombies...

[jdrexler]

Mmm... one is Magpie, for sure. The others seem Blockbuster, KGBeast. King Snake maybe?

[Frisky Dingo]

The first thought that popped into my mind after seeing this cover:
"If there's something strange
in your neighborhood
Who ya gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS"

If one of the Bat-family picks up a cricket mallet or an LP record, I will put the comic down, applaud, then go back to reading it.

[dreyga2000]

[Redrumbin]

[Frisky Dingo]

"Wait a minute, Tim. I thought you said crossing the streams was bad."

"I love this plan! I'm excited it could work! LET'S DO IT! "

Once Zombies gain the ability to cut their hair, then nothing can save us now

[SpideyZERO]

That was a fun looking cover :D

[F1uke]

Yeah, I'm pretty excited for a Dick Grayson Batman and a Tim Drake Red Robin team up.

[numberONE]

Wow. Batman and Red Robin team up to battle zombies? This looks awesome!

[Red Lotus]

Just as long as its not Purple Rain

[OverMaster]

It needs Arnold Wesker. And Orca.

I'll get you some day, James Robinson!

[Artificial idiot]

Better be a very good explaination why Dick and Tim are carrying guns...

Otherwise, that cover is just awesome. Definatly glad I'm picking these up!

[numberONE]

Very good explanation: They're zombie-killing guns!

LOL

[Sean Walsh]

They're flamethrowers. Notice the tanks on Dick's costume and the small devices attached to Tim's 2 guns.

[Artificial idiot]

LOL

If Simon Pegg can kill zombies without a.... Oh wait. Nevermind. I'm sold! :D

[Artificial idiot]

Didn't mean those, I meant the guns strapped to Dick and Tim's back... Which clearly aren't flamethrowers.

[dreyga2000]

I think you're mistaken... Every last one of those is a flame thrower....

that's KGBeast in the bottom right corner. any other villains there? the one with the ponytail could even be Deacon Blackfire

[Artificial idiot]

I think you're mistaken... Every last one of those is a flame thrower....

I dunno, some of them really look like they could go either way, but on closer inspection I'm seeing things that look like gas tanks on them... So I'm just going to assume they're flamethrowers to put my mind at ease. ;)

This is a good example of why posting at half 3 in the morning is a bad idea. :redface:

Hadn't they brought KGBeast back to life recently?

[Karl O'Neill]

Honestly. This sounds and looks pretty awesome.

Tomasi is a good writer.

[Bat_Fan2232]

thats clearly some type of rifle hanging in between batmans leg. WTF ?

[BloodOps]

How can I not pick this up?

Dick Grayson and Tim Drake v.s Zombies? Awesome.

[Mateus_ds]

are we sure its KGbeast?
i was gunning(pardon the pun) more for gun totting batman making a "return" since BftC.

[Sn4tcH]

This brings up something... Has anyone mentioned Jean Paul Valley?

[shinjiro15]

about the guns----- it wouldnt be killing if they are fighting zombies, ie the anitmated corpses. it's a way to slwo them down.

but hey of they kill zombies, it's not like killing a human being.

[shinjiro15]

now that i think about it..........only bruce has trepidations for using a gun. to him it's sign of weakness, since that is the easy way out...ie killing people. on the other hand it's symble of what made him and it's a mix of sorrow and fury.

now......dick and tim wont have the same reservations, as they were not directly affected by a gun as bruce, but rather beleive it is the easy way out as well.


so the "robins" shooting zombies warmed with power rigns isnt that out of character.

[Sean Walsh]

Didn't mean those, I meant the guns strapped to Dick and Tim's back... Which clearly aren't flamethrowers.

Ah, I missed those.

......did the "no guns" ban affect Dick and Tim anyway?

And I guess the "given the circumstances it's ok" rule could come into place here too.

So ... Dick won't use rope for fear of it being sabotaged with a razor ... and Tim refuses to use boomerangs and voodoo?

[shinjiro15]

i see the logic, ive set it up for that argument. but what im saying is that it's built in the batman mythos about bruce not using a gun. i wish i could give you the specific comics, but i remeber how batman has expressed his specific distate for guns. how they have affected his life (obviously) in such a way that he refused to sue them...until FC.
that's what i was trying to convey, where as the toehrs havent really expressed any emotions towards specific objects. remember for a while joe chill never "existed" as he was never caught. Dark Victory specifically says the killer ws never caught....the status quo until morrision's rip. now rip's joe chill may be symbolic, or just a hallucination.....

bottom line is that dick and tim can focus thier emotions on specific people, and bruce had to do that to an object and a genralization of the idea, "criminal"

[nepenthes]

giant ass weapon for a hand, turret on the shoulder, bionic lense over one eye and a vertical stripe on the other.....it's definitely kgbeast
