Batman '89 (2021)

[The Laughing Fish]

Now that the RIDICULOUS news of Keaton appearing in Batgirl is confirmed by the trades, I have to ask: what the hell was the point of greenlighting these comics if they were going to be either retconned or outright ignored by the movies? I know I have been critical of the last few issues, but this run now comes across as pointless more than ever.

Seriously, Batman is now around the same age as Gordon. What's next, the Joker and the Penguin are still alive in the new DC movie timeline?

f*** off.

It was delayed a couple of times. No reason was given, though Joe Quinones mentioned recently that he's had Covid. Issue #5 is currently listed as coming out February 1st.

Thank you! I was begining to worry that it was canceled mid-run

Lawrence the Joker goon returns. I assume this is a flashback?



Barbara Gordon looks confused. Sorta like how many people will be once they see Keaton's Batman in a different movie universe with another Barbara who doesn't like anything like her, and her dad is suddenly JK Simmons.

The date has shifted again. February 15 is now the release date.

Apparently issue 5 has been delayed yet again, this time until the beginning of March.

Indeed, and Quinones has confirmed that it was indeed his bout with COVID that caused it to move again

I'm reading once again that B89 was a ridiculous hit and the graphic novel version is expected to whoop serious butt as well.

If so, their future moves on the B89 universe will be interesting. Will they expand or keep it as a one-off? I really would like a Forever continuation to coincide with the Schumacher cut, showing the transition to Robin's new suit, the creation of the Clooneymobile and the like. I'm not sure what villains they could really use, though. Mr Freeze seems to be the first big theatrical threat after Riddler and Two-Face.
