New 52 Nightwing

If you're a fan of DC Comics' animation line, then you'll also be pleased to know that DC Collectibles will be coming out with a pair of DC animated related stuff. There's Batman from Justice League: War

... and a weird looking Robin based on his appearance in the upcoming Son of Batman animated film.

Figures will come out within the year I'm told.

Harper Row - A Potential Robin

I'm always mystified with the subject of Batman character Harper Row and now that Damian Wayne is Robin, there's a strong rumor going around the comics world that this might be the chance for Row to take center stage as a new replacement for Robin. 

She first got a major push from DC Comics back in Batman # 12 which is a stand alone story, a filler issue if you will, between major arcs "Night of the Owls" and "Death of the Family". 

In this story, she shows that she's a very independent and capable woman living with her brother. She's later seen helping out Batman in the sewers as he tries to do what he does best, kicking badguy butt. Later we also find out that Harper's been invited to a party in Bruce Wayne's house. 

Talon # 0 Spoilers

Spoilers up for Talon # 0 by Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV and Guillem March.

SPOILERS Batman # 10

Batman # 10 is trending most importantly because a long forgotten character resurfaces thanks to writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capulo.

• BATMAN takes the fight to THE COURT OF OWLS!

• • Discover the evil mastermind behind THE COURT.
• • Plus: The “Fall of the House of Wayne” backup by SCOTT SNYDER, JAMES TYNION IV and RAFAEL ALBUQUERQUE.

Actually, I'm going to reserve judgment on this book for my review of Batman # 10 on Flipgeeks. But here I'm just going to spoil you on the main baddie for Night of the Owls.

Batman Annual # 1 Spoilers

Spoilers for Batman Annual # 1 by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV

In this issue we get to see the origin of Batman rogue Mr. Freeze. Its also a tie-in to Night of the Owls happening in all the Bat-books.

So in a nutshell, Mr. Freeze goes and makes his grand escape from Arkham Asylum. During the escape he comes in contact with The Penguin and takes back his guns. He also goes and tries to end his vendetta with Bruce Wayne.

Before he reaches Wayne however he went through these guys...

Yest that is Nightwing and Robin

Of course since they're not the star of this book, they get their asses handed to them.

Coolest Moments from Batman # 9 - Night of the Owls Tie-In

Here are some of the coolest moments from Batman # 9 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. This is another part of the ongoing "Night of the Owls" crossover happening in all bat-books.

So we last caught Batman/ Bruce Wayne fighting for his life inside the Batcave which has been invaded by Talons sent by the nefarious Court of Owls the Illuminati-esque "rulers" of Gotham City.

It was during this time that Batman had Alfred send the call to the Bat-Family to protect the Court's intended targets. These are the leaders and the important people including Batgirl's father Commissioner Jim Gordon. The last page we see in Batman # 8  was Batman wearing a new armor to fend off the Talon's attacks.
