Batman R.I.P. has been one of the most exciting stories of the year. That's saying a lot when we also have "Final Crisis" and "Secret Invasion" going on but I stand by the statement. There is a ton of speculation as to how Batman R.I.P. will end. Here's a great chance for everyone else to do some speculation. Check out the solicitations for various Batman titles in the coming months.
BATMAN #682
In his last hours, Alfred the Butler tells the life story of the Batman as you've never seen it before in this two-part adventure which bridges the gap between the events of “Batman R.I.P.” and FINAL CRISIS. Learn the secrets of Batman's early years! Witness the nightmare of a Gotham City where Batman never existed!
BATMAN #683
This special two-part tale narrated by Sir Alfred Pennnyworth reflects upon the life and times of Gotham City’s most celebrated citizen – and hints at what’s next for The Dark Knight. Grant Morrison delivers a story of past memories, present heartache and future promises. A spectacular, unforgettable farewell to The Dark Knight, mixing memory, dream and speculation as Alfred closes the casebook on the greatest crimefighter of all time. With guest appearances by Batman friends and foes from every era of Batman's history, this epic adventure cannot be missed.
DETECTIVE COMICS #851
"Last Days of Gotham" part 1 of 2! Longtime BATMAN writer and editor Dennis O'Neil returns to The Dark Knight for this special two-part tale. Joined by artistic rising star Guillem March (JOKER'S ASYLUM: POISON IVY), O'Neil's "Last Days of Gotham" dives into the soul of a city that has lost its most famous citizen, its favorite son, its beloved protector. How will Gotham City react in the wake of the horrible tragedy that has befallen The Caped Crusader?
BATMAN #684
"Last Days of Gotham" part 2 of 2! In a world without a Batman, what happens when Commissioner Gordon lights the Bat-signal, in desperate need of assistance against the growing tide of crime sweeping his city? What does Nightwing do when his longtime partner fails to aid him in yet another of Two-Face's villainous assaults against Gotham? Without The Dark Knight to protect its walls, Gotham City may be facing its final days!
ROBIN #181
Red Robin is revealed, and Anarky is unleashed in Gotham City! A daring jailhouse rescue rips the GCPD apart, forcing the Spoiler to live up to her name! Plus, Oracle and Jason Bard team up again! And while all this is going on, where is Robin? Maybe he's M.I.A.... or is it R.I.P.?
NIGHTWING #151
Nightwing has saved New York City from Two-Face, but that doesn't mean that he's saved himself - or that Two-Face is through with him. Nightwing will be forced to confront the madman in Arkham Asylum then face dire changes to his personal life as he deals with the aftereffects of "Batman R.I.P." and makes the ultimate leap!
* Marvel Studios as debunked the Will Smith rumors regarding Captain America. As of right now we still have no leads on who will be playing the Star-Spangled Avenger.
* Phillip Seymour Hoffman as also debunked rumors that he is playing Penguin in the next Batman film. Mr.Hoffman also reminded everyone that the same rumor was going around five years ago after the first Batman film.
* Marvel has announced a new Avengers title that starts after "Secret Invasion". "Dark Avengers" will be written by Brian Micheal Benids. Bendis will be leaving "Mighty Avengers" but staying on "New Avengers". "Dark Avengers" will reflect the status change in the Marvel Universe after "Secret Invasion". All the Marvel books will be labeled with "Dark Reign" after the invasion is over. This adds fuel to the rumor that the Skrulls win control of Earth.
* Chuck Dixon has found a new home at IDW. The former writer of DC titles such as "Robin" and "Booster Gold", will be writing "G.I. Joe" for IDW. You can check out part one of a round table interview with Chuck Dixon, Larry Hama, Andy Schmidt, Chris Ryall, and Mike Costa, HERE.
* Mark Millar made it official that his return to Marvel's Ultimate Universe will be in the new "Ultimate Avengers" series. Millar has promised that every story arc will be an epic event similar to a "Secret Invasion" or "Civil War". The book will feature different line-ups in each book also. No word if this title will be replacing "The Ultimates".
* In January "The Dark Knight" will return to IMAX theaters for a limited release. Warner Bros. is hoping this will help remind the academy when the Oscars roll around. Remember nerds, if Star Wars and LOTR can get nominated, so can Batman.
* The newest Batman movie rumor to surface has Cher, yep Cher, playing Catwoman in the next Batman film.
* Iron Man 2 and Thor are coming up in 2010. As of now we have no idea who will play Thor, but a new rumor is going around about Captain America. It is being reported that Will Smith has been offered the role of Steve Rogers. I had no problem with a black Kingpin, and I enjoy the black Nick Fury, but no way am I going for this idea. Some things you don't change.
* Marvel Comics are going to be seeing a lot of green in the coming years. No we're not talking about cash, we're talking about Skrulls. An early rumor going around is that the Skrulls may not win the "Secret Invasion" but will be calling Earth home after the series ends.
* We have been talking about "Spider-Man 4 and 5" for a few months now. The scripts are done, and word is that Sam Raimi and Tobey "Billion dollars" Maguire are signed to do the next two films about the web crawler. As usual, early word as Lizard as appearing in the new Spider-Man film.
* Marvel Studios is still toying with the idea of doing the proposed Edgar Wright "Ant-Man" film. One rumor suggest that the title will be "Ant-Man: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." Geeks are still hoping the movie will get the green light and have Simon Pegg casted as the lead.
* Issue one of "Secret Six" saw the first new addition to the team. Just as we called it, Bane was added to the team. There's still one person left to add, and our official guess is Harley Quinn.
* Kingdom Come 2 was mentioned by DC Comics one month and never spoken of again. The rumors are circulating now that the sequel will be coming in 2009 and is not exactly what you think. The book will be done by Geoff Johns and Alex Ross, but takes place in the current DC universe.
* In "Secret Invasion" #4 we saw Reed Richards lay some smack down and start revealing some Skrulls. the speculation that I'm hearing is that from here out the series will be more about fighting and less about who is and who isn't a skrull. Maybe the "Who do you Trust?" was more hype than anything. If true then we know not to trust Marvel Comics.
* Bruce Wayne became Batman when his parents were gunned down in Crime Alley. Will the death of Alfred during "Batman R.I.P." be the moment that retires Bruce Wayne? Will Alfred's last words to Master Wayne be, "I am proud of you Son."
* There's another Avengers shake-up coming soon. Expect Captain America to join New Avengers after "Secret Invasion"
* Time for some new Batman movie rumors. Brian Austin Green from 90210 to play the Riddler in the next film. Not sure where this one started but its too funny to ignore. The Angelina Jolie/Catwoman rumor is still going strong too. David Goyer has commented that maybe they won't use any of the more well known villains. I call bullshit on three of those items.
* Speaking of sequels. Word is that character of Dr. Donald Blake will play a part in the next Iron Man movie. Most fans know that the good Dr.Blake is the human host for the Thunder God known as Thor. Although a second script has not come in yet, unconfirmed director Jon Favreu wants a shot at Hulk in the movie, as a cameo.
* What if Robert Downey Jr doesn't want to be an Avenger? There are early reports that Terrance Howard will be kept on contract to play War Machine in an Avengers movie if Robert Downey losses interest by 2011.
* Punisher: Warzone will end up being rated pG-13, instead of the R we were all waiting for. Just a reminder, the last film was rated R.
