Fucking Finally

>>94671068
Eh, Wonder Woman would be more interesting

>>94671068
>putting a new spin you’ve never seen before on the legend of Batman
What's new? I see literally nothing new.

>>94671068
>$5.99
I wanted to buy this, but I guess not.

>>94671201
Notice it's 48 pages

So Batman is getting a Secret Identity? I can dig it.

>>94671226
I know, but my pull list is big enough already. It’s only 4 issues though, might squeeze it in.

Fucking STOP with the Batman, jesus. How are people not sick of this character yet.

>>94671116
Yeah the last thing the world needs is another tired take on Batman mythos, but at least the art will be amazing

>>94671280
People have been saying that for decades. Yet he still sells

>>94671068
>Oh look another batman book.

>>94671280
If only they were constantly pushing your favorite characters Cranky, there certainly wouldn't be a problem there.

wish it was Plastic Man or Flash

bruh I loved Secret Identity
picked up

>>94671321
>not Amethyst: Secret Identity
it hurts

>>94671280
Some people aren't miserable and desperately trying to relive their misery futilely lashing out at anything they see around them.

>>94671068
Could be neat, but theres already a realistic Batman take in Earth One. I dont see how Batman already existing as a fictional character in universe could make it different enough, but Busiek is a great writer so i'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.

>>94671201
I imagine its geared for a trade anyway. DC are focusing more on making 'evergreen' GNs such as Secret Identity.

>>94671321
Not the guy you're replying to, but it's not even about character favoritism. Everything you can do with Batman has been already done - there's a world of DC to mine and explore but instead of getting a refreshing take on a B-lister or a long-deserved defining run on a D-lister we get yet another Batman story.

Batman is always going to sell because the comic reading masses are fucking plebs. They could nurture another property and set it up to be as big and financially viable as Bats, but nope

>>94671068
More busiek is always welcome, gotta agree with >>94671097 tho, wondie's would be better

>>94671321
>>94671321
I ain't cranky considering I actually like Catwoman.

>>94671391
It looks like Bruce Wainwright isn't rich? That's different from Earth One.

>>94671068
Im hyped. Secret Identity is my shit.

What is Secret Identity?

I'm curious, I like stories about Batman inspiring people.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but Batman wasn't a unstoppable selling machine until the Tim Burton movies?

Flash seems to be doing well but Flash Earth One has been put on hold and he's not getting the love Wondy got when her movie appearance and movie happened.

>>94671819
He was selling really good in 40's and 50's, as one of the few remaining superhero titles. He just hit a sales slump in the Silver Age because of the whole 'being singled out as homosexual propaganda' thing, but by the 70's it was business as usual.

Man I loved Secret Iddentity it was probably my favorite off canon Superman book

>>94671068
So next will be Wonder Woman: Princess of Power, which about a normal girl who shares the same name with Diana Prince raised by two lesbian parents, going to a private all-girls school until she finds out that somehow she has the same powers as Wonder Woman?

>>94671819
Yup, his sales were unstable as hell. Many writers mention in interviews that they were brought in, because sales were falling and they wanted to try something fresh. Detective Comics had to be even merged with Batman Family because it wasn't selling (Batman Family was because it had a lot of pages per dollar).

>>94671068
>Art and cover by JOHN PAUL LEON
Fuckin' sold take my money now

>>94672129
... Y'know anon, you were presumably joking, but that sounds about right, actually. Won't happen though.

Oh hell yes.

>>94672129
I unironically want this.

I remember this being in the works for almost a decade

>>94673321
It was announced in 2010.

7 is pretty close to 10

>>94671899
>He just hit a sales slump in the Silver Age because of the whole 'being singled out as homosexual propaganda' thing, but by the 70's it was business as usual.

Except sales went up during the Silver Age, specifically when the Adam West TV show was going on. Then it went down after the show ended.

And Batman was really selling badly in the early 80's compared to most Marvel titles as seen in >>94671819

It wasn't until around the late 80's and early 90's that Batman sold a lot better.

>>94673656
Sorry man, wasn’t correcting you. Just posting the old interview. Thought it might be interesting reading.

Finally. This was announced so long back.

>>94671342
Plastic Man's done a lot for the medium, but he and Flash don't have the timeless immortality of Batman and Superman.

>>94671280
>Sorry Mr Busiek, but we won't allow you to pitch Batman, even though you're a superstar writer
You literally sound retarded, anon. But what am I expecting from a characterfag.

>>94671342
we're getting Plastic Man as a major player in a comic eventually drawn by Doc Shaner, I'm pretty happy with his place right now

>>94672129
I imagine it'll be some sort of Percy Jackson bullshit where she finds out she was secretly a demigod whose real mom died and she was adopted by the lesbian parents.

Then she'll have to go on some sort of stupid Odyssey or Labors of Hercules ripoff quest.

I might be OK with it if they at least played up a magical girl connection but you know it's gonna be all Greek mythology trash.

>>94674657
as long as Busiek writes it, it will probably be good even if the basic concept seems stupid at first glance

>>94674657
Did you even read Superman secret identity? It's supposed to be as realistic as possible.

>>94674715
I didn't. Doesn't he still have his powers and the Krypton backstory? I only say this because if Winged Victory is anything to go by, Busiek doesn't really know anything about Wonder Woman.

>>94674777
Kid named Clark Kent and is teased about it. Develops the powers one time and eventually has to deal with reporters, government, and hiding his tracks.

>>94674777
He has powers, but that's all.

>>94674777
Nigga what, wikipedia the story at least
>In a world where Superman is just a comic book, a family named Kent decides to name their child Clark
>Clark grew up resenting his name because kids would make fun of him for being named Clark Kent and friends always set him up with girls named Lois
>Gets power one day because some deus ex machina shit
>Then goes on living his life dealing with life, love, powers, government, all that
It's a fun read

>>94674777
if we're going by the Astro City versions, he doesn't know anything about Batman and Superman either, though

>>94674777
What kind of stupid logic is that? "Analogue is not like Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman therefore he doesn't know anything about them"?

Comics like this is what DC needs more. I wish their regular line could be actually good.

Wow, I thought this was dead years ago.

You think they'll have him pull of actual Batman feats despite being in the real world like with Superman in secret identity or have him deal with the actual results of trying to be Batman

>>94672129
I want this.

Except maybe not gets powers of Wonder Woman and except maybe finds powered parts to the outfit. The tiara, bracelets, etc.
Makes her stand out a bit more.
