Batman Vol 8: Superheavy by Scott Snyder

26067585

If you haven't read the previous volumes and would like to find out what happens on your own, this is your SPOILER WARNING. 

What the F@#$ is going on?!?!?! I knew there was going to be fall out from Bruce and the Joker being crushed under the cave in at the end of Vol 7 but this was not at all what I expected. Bruce is safe but has lost everything that makes him Batman. He has this beard that just looks odd on him. The city needs a Batman so a secret military like group constructs a mechanical batman suit that looked more like the 80's robot that delivered drinks. Who is in this suit being the new Batman

I'm so lost at this point. I'm not sure how Bruce survived the cave in and then what happened to Joker? That wasn't addressed in this book at all. Scott Snyder is an amazing writer and I hope he has a way to bring this all back to normal before his run on the series ends. Now the new Batman. There is a man in the suit and he wears a costume that reminds me of Batgirl's when it was Cassandra in it when Barbra was Oracle. Gotham's very own Jim Gordon is in the mechanical bat suit. Still not a fan of killing this Batman does carry a gun and that bugs me. From what elese I am reading the Bat Family isn't to fond of the new Batman either but they don't know it is Gordon in the suit.

The story was good enough that I can't wait to get to the next book but at the same time I am really disappointed in Scott Snyder. I just hope that the rest of this story line explains all the holes and really blows this book out of the water. I really don;t have much else to say about this book other than I give it 2 out of 5 stars.

Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me. Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.   This weeks question is:   What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri

I have to admit that I was so lost as to what type of picture I should take. Yes, I know it was supposed to be funny but I was still at a loss. I asked my wife what I should do and she asked me if I still knew how to tie a noose. Don't judge me I was a weird teen. Anyway she said I should hang my favorite book in homage to Halloween. I decided to take this a step further.
