okay, so while I don't think I'm feeling a miniseries about the Penguin, I have to say Capullo's cover for Batman #2 looks really good. Don't see how people can hate on him with stuff like that, to be honest.

Capullo's art is slowly starting to win me over. I may have to put Batman on the pull list come September. A 3-page preview may convert me completely.

I love the detail of the man at the door below. Can't really say im that bothered about a Penguin book but still fills me with hope other characters will get the same limited ongoing treatment.

Owl Skull? Well Owls are natural predators towards Bats, hence evil-Batman is usually the Owlman.

Consider this my response to the Penguin book



Unexpected.

Same here. I didn't like the first cover, but that one's pretty good.

The Penguin mini--eh, it could go either way.

The Batman #2 cover--you can never go wrong with Batman jumping a motorcycle so that he can punch a dude in the face on a helicopter.

I do not believe truer words have ever been spoken.

The penguin cover.


Nice to see some names I don't recognize, even if it is for a Penguin miniseries.

Is there literally anyone excited about reading a mini about the origin of the Penguin? I was not aware that it took 5 issues to tell the tale of how he came to be a Gotham mobster.

I have to say I've never been the biggest Batman (Bruce Wanye) fan, but the cover image and issue details look awesome and intriguing, respectively. The cover for Batman #2 has an almost 'old-school' vibe, in that the cover itself is trying to tell a story, rather than just grab attention.

I don't know if "excited" is the right word, but as a huge Penguin fan I am very much interested in this and will undoubtedly be picking it up.

Love the energy coming from the Batman #2 cover.

I bet this still sells more than half of the re-launched non-Batbooks. DC only has a couple of franchises that people are willing to buy and this is the biggest.
