Can you imagine Kevin Smith publicly relating that story, other than within the last decade, and being able to maintain employment as a writer for Marvel or DC?
Very sad all around. And I love the picture JB posted! Who woulda thought?

My Batman is much more a Detective than a Dark Knight. (Don't get me wrong, though, i like Frank Millers' Year One and even Dark Knight Returns -particularly the first part with Two-Face-)

I enjoy reading "The Dark Knight Returns" and "The Dark Knight Strikes Again", as long as I consider them ELSEWORLDS stories (if only DC editorial could've done the same...)

The true lunacy lies in the fact that DKR and DKSA were set IN THE FUTURE. Batman/Bruce had gone thru a lot of years getting there, and even if they were to be considered part of the regular DCU timeline, it would take a while to catch up.Of course, as I pointed out to Frank at the time, in DKR he had actually written the first post-CRISIS story set in the pre-CRISIS universe.

And remember the good old days of Comic Book Time? 20 years in the future was always 20 years in the future. Like a dog chasing it's own tail, we'd never catch up (and that was a good thing).

(Don't get me wrong, though, i like Frank Millers' Year One and even Dark Knight Returns -particularly the first part with Two-Face-) ************************************************************ ******************* The oval-less Batman also went to other planets and traveled in time.( and was a detective to boot) That was the standard look for almost thirty years before the oval. Dont see why no oval = "Dark Knight". Didnt grim and gritty get its start under the oval?

Frank Miller must be really proud that Kevin Smith has expanded the mythos of the year one story with this brillaint extra facet. What are DC thinking that they allow this crap?

I can't begin to believe for a second that Kevin Smith was telling the truth about how he's writing Batman. I don't care for his writing but it sounds like he's saying that just to get all his fans and haters all foaming at the mouth. He knows he can get away with saying something like that. He's playing to his audience.

I kinda miss the oval sometimes but I'm fine with it being gone.And as disappointed as I am that Kevin Smith has written such
garbage into a Batman story I'm doubly disappointed with DC for
publishing it.

Dean Trippe posted a picture of Batman with a yellowish bat symbol on his chest. No oval. I liked that contrast.
