THE DARK SON RISES: DAMIAN 'Returns' in KUBERT's SON OF BATMAN

Hey guys what's going on this is the the Black Chivalrous Nerd and by the title of this post you know what I'm about to talk about.  Earlier this year, World Renown and fan favorite author Grant Morrison shocked comic book readers when he killed Damian Wayne in Issue 8 of Batman, Inc. Volume 2 entitled R.I.P. that had Robin in front of a bright light with his cape open and his head down which was just like the cover of the Batman R.I.P. story that Grant wrote years ago.  Well Andy Kubert, co-creator of Damian, is temporarily bringing Damian back from the dead in October for a four issue mini series entitled Damian: Son Of Batman in which Andy will be writing AND Drawing this series.  During an interview with Newsarama, Andy reveals that this is a story that he's been working on the Mini-Series (off and on) since 2008

Here's a quick synopsis of the miniseries, it's a continuation of the event's that happened in Batman #666 where it's 15 years in a future where Damian Wayne is the new Batman (See Above Pic) and he takes the persona on a darker path since Bruce died and the question is what happened that made Damian go down that dark path?  The other question is what happened to Bruce that leads to his death?  Well shown from the pic below, I think I have a theory on how Bruce died that leads Damian to this dark path.

Personally I'm excited for this mini series because Andy Kubert is not only doing the pencil, but he's also inking his pencils just as well.  I'm also excited because this will be Andy's first time writing a comic book so I'm interested to see how his writing is.  Lastly, I'm excited because we get more than just one issue where we see Damian as Batman.  For those interested in the mini series, the first of four issues comes out in October of this year and the price for each issue is still TBD, so stay tuned and when I find out is when you will find out.  Also if you're interested in reading Newsarama's interview with Andy Kubert you can read it right HERE.

Okay guys that's it for this post,  Don't forget to comment, share, like and stay tuned because more posts are coming soon so don't go anywhere and don't leave this page.  This is the Black Chivalrous Nerd Denzel Lamar saying LOVE, PEACE AND BACON GREASE *Smoke Bombs Out*

HOLY CLIFFHANGER BATMAN!!!!!!!

Okay you guys I just finished reading the latest additions to the "Death Of The Family" Story Arc and all I can say is that this Story Arc has just solidified Joker as the Greatest villain in Batman history. The things that this monster has done just to get to batman and the things he did to the robins, batgirl and the people around them are absolutely Hellacious. The evolution of Joker this past couple of years have been amazing because Joker was already off the hinges, but ever since the new 52 started and Joker had his face cut off and goes into hiding for a year, then he comes back last year and straps his face back onto his head and creates the most devious, ultimate evil plan in batman villain history. Plus the fact that as the story progresses, Joker's "reattached" face is starting to decay and rot and darken and flies are always surrounding his face which make him even more crazier to the reader.

Joker isolating Batman from the bat family and trying to break him down has really surpassed anything that he has done in the past. From Joker infiltrating the Haly's Circus, killing the workers of the circus and having Nightwing flipping out, to Joker kidnapping Batgirl's mother and proposing to Batgirl with Batgirl's mothers ring WHILE THE FINGER WAS STILL WEARING IT. To Joker isolating Red Hood and Red Robin from their perspective teams and leaving the teams to fight for themselves as a laughing gas infected Gotham fight them. To Bruce's Son fighting a laughing gas enduced Batman imposter while Robin thinks that it is his father. The Joker have thought it all through and his plan has worked to the T.

And let's not forget about how The Joker has manipulated his fellow villains as well to do his bidding and help him out with this plan. From manipulating Harley Quinn to dress up into Jokers old Red Hood outfit to sucker batman in when they were in the old warehouse where everything began for batman and Joker. Then when Joker was done with her he tried to kill her (but that's not new) by hanging her with a long chain and then he decides to try and lock her up but she escapes. Then there was The Penguin where Joker just broke Penguin down to relinquish his place in the crime world and gave it to his assistant that is now known as Emperor Penguin.

In my opinion this whole plan of the jokers in "Death of The Family" is even more devious than when he killed Jason Todd. Hell, his actions are even more crazier than when he shot and crippled Batgirl in "The Killing Joke". But I digress this story arc in my opinion is up there with "The Long Halloween", "Under The Red Hood", "Knightfall" and "The Killing Joke" as one of the instant classic story arcs in the history of The Dark Knight.

The cliffhanger that was used in Batman and Robin and Batgirl (pics can be seen below) was scary yet interesting at the same time because the Joker is holding a platter with a cover and the question that everyone is asking and wondering is what is underneath that lid, but more importantly was the cliffhanger from Batman #16 (pic seen below with him foaming) and what does this mean for batman? Is Batman dead? What is underneath the lid? Is it Alfred's head? What will happen to the Four Robins and Batgirl? So many questions are flowing around and they need to be answered and they will be answered in the grand finale of this saga in Batman #17.

Alright guys that's all for now, don't forget to share, share, share. That's all the time I have for now. Don't forget to check out the Nerdgasm Noire Network and everyone involved with them... Peace I'm out... Love, Peace and Bacon Grease
