Coming to KILL the Batman this Summer:

Welcome to week six of What's New in The New 52 – where you, the fans, get a sneak peek at the stuff that crosses our desks. This little feature is a way to keep you all in the loop about what's new, different and exciting in The New 52 – whether it's a character design, cover, splash page or panel.

There’s no denying that Batman is one of the strongest superheroes in the DC Universe. And with access to state-of-the-art technology, the Dark Knight has incredibly resources at his disposal to aid in his efforts fighting crime.

But what if Batman used his power for evil instead of good? Enter Wrath. An all-new villain who’ll be showing up soon in the pages of DETECTIVE COMICS, Wrath is essentially the anti-Batman. He’s got all the same gadgets and vehicles as the Dark Knight – but his intentions for how they’re used couldn’t be more opposite. Mainly because they’re far more lethal …

See you tomorrow,
Bob

 

[shadyspace]

Oh you mean Prometheus

 

[G-Fex]

it's about time Batman had his own 'Shadow'

 

[Anticitizen One]

Oh you mean Prometheus

DC: *Shifts eyes around* uh...who?

 

[shira]

Iron man with cape? How original

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Who? Catman? Owlman?

 

[Colonel Nasty]

I'm calling Scorn is Damian.

Spoiler

I hate all of Batman's spin off characters

 

[FartOfWar]

Get a load of this utter fucking garbage. Enjoy cretins!

 

[lethial]

Nice cape Scorn you little nerdlinger.

 

[The Anti-Monitor]

Evil Batman?

Wow, really innotive there. Maybe they'll do Evil Superman next.

 

[Chairhome]

Wrath, not wraith.

But cool. Should be interesting, though I don't read Detective Comics so I'll probably wait to hear how it is.

 

[Tamanon]

Oh you mean Prometheus

Man, Prometheus turned into a shitty villain so quickly after being introduced.

 

[G-Fex]

Evil Batman?

Wow, really innotive there. Maybe they'll do Evil Superman next.

They should make a edgy hip version of superman

Call him Super Dude

 

[MisterHero]

Jason Todd?

I know Bruce was a dick to him but I don't think he'd become villainous.

2 more guesses: Hush or Deadshot

 

[Buddha Beam]

So it's Nemesis with a sidekick?

 

[ConsumerSquare]

"Military suit."

Why was there no Batman Year 100 series? Too hard to write stories about a crime fighter who can only afford a bundle of rope, some dog spray, and a dirt bike?

 

[Barrage]

So excited. This could be DC's Shadow The Hedgehog!

 

[G-Fex]

So excited. This could be DC's Shadow The Hedgehog!

I already made that joke

 

[domstah]

They should make a edgy hip version of superman

Call him Super Dude

Surely, you mean S'up Dude.

 

[Jintor]

How many anti-batmans do we have at this point

I would've been way more excited to see the Phantasm crossover into modern DC. But then again, probably not, because modern DC kind of sucks

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Batman needed a character who was A mirror image of him. Yep. Totally Original.

 

[Barrage]

I already made that joke

So excited. This could be DC's Mecha Sonic!

 

[akira28]

Evil Batman?

Wow, really innotive there. Maybe they'll do Evil Superman next.

have we got great news for you...

 

[MisterHero]

So excited. This could be DC's Mecha Sonic!

Mecha Sonic is just a terrible version of Metal Sonic

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

So he's basically the Punisher with money.

 

[fallengorn]

Another one? Are they creating a Society of Anti-Batmans?

 

[DominoKid]

damn they're really scraping the bottom of the creativity barrel here...

 

[Hot Coldman]

Get a load of this utter fucking garbage. Enjoy cretins!

sssshhhh, you unveiled DC's new slogan too early

 

[G-Fex]

Another one? Are they creating a Society of Anti-Batmans?

The League of No-Batmans.

No Batmans allowed

 

[The Anti-Monitor]

have we got great news for you...

Well, I meant a brand new supervillain called Pride.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

sweet digital camo bruh how many kills did you have to get to unlock it

 

[akira28]

Another one? Are they creating a Society of Anti-Batmans?

They already did that. Or the Society of Batman haters. Lead by a dude who had a Bat-a-rang stuck in his head.

Well, I meant a brand new supervillain called Pride.

he should be gay though. Gay and a queen diva.

 

[The Elite]

How is this guy different from The Wrath?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrath_(comics)

He's been around for years.

The art says The Wrath. This isn't even a new character.

 

[Karakand]

So it's Nemesis with a sidekick?

I wish DC could make a book/character as consistently fuck-stupid as Nemesis was.

 

[MisterHero]

They already did that. Or the Society of Batman haters. Lead by a dude who had a Bat-a-rang stuck in his head.

Well, Superman has the Superman Revenge Squad. Batman should have one too!

doesn't Court of Owls count?

 

[Spike Spiegel]

How is this guy different from The Wrath?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrath_(comics)

He's been around for years.

"Okay sure, but this is the first time he's going to show up in the New52, which makes this a new and exciting story that people will be talking about for years and years to come!"

 

[The Elite]

Yup. I actually have a comic from 84 with this guy. His old costume was better than this shit.

"Okay sure, but this is the first time he's going to show up in the New52, which makes this a new and exciting story that people will be talking about for years and years to come!"

No one remembers him from his first appearance. Lol. I only remember him because he was in the first comic I ever owned.

He will always be THE anti-Batman to me.

 

[akira28]

doesn't Court of Owls count?

no >:|

and what kills me the most...modern medical science could probably remove a bat-a-rang from a head. It's pathetic.

 

[Weiss]

Oh you mean Prometheus

Don't you mean Hush?

Or Mr. Zsasz?

Or Two-Face?

Or the Joker?

Or Red Hood?

Or Owlman?

 

[Henchmen21]

Man, Prometheus turned into a shitty villain so quickly after being introduced.

[Jeopardy Response]

What is every batman villain created in the past 20 years?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

sssshhhh, you unveiled DC's new slogan too early

Wait, am I the only one getting this banner ad then?

 

[odiin]

Oh you mean Prometheus

And Owlman, and Talon, and Catman, and Hush, and Red Hood, and probably a billion other characters I can't think of off-hand.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Genuinely surprised with all the negativity. It's not easy for a company to pump out quality stories every month and DC has been hitting out of the park since the new 52 debut.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Don't you mean Hush?

Or Mr. Zsasz?

Or Two-Face?

Or the Joker?

Or Red Hood?

Or Owlman?

But do any of them have a sidekicks....besides Red Hood in that one appearance.

 

[the chris]

Man, Prometheus turned into a shitty villain so quickly after being introduced.

What do you expect when he is defeated in his first appearance by getting whipped on the crotch by Catwoman?

But do any of them have a sidekicks....besides Red Hood in that one appearance.

 

[JDSN]

I hope he puts an anti-abortion bomb in Batgirl's womb.

 

[The Anti-Monitor]

Genuinely surprised with all the negativity. It's not easy for a company to pump out quality stories every month and DC has been hitting out of the park since the new 52 debut.

I humbly disagree.

I understand it's not easy to bring a new Supervillain in a Rogue's Gallery... But repeating the same concept as a billion others won't help.

 

[Subaroo]

How many opposite Batman's can there be?

 

[JasonUresti]

Get a load of this utter fucking garbage. Enjoy cretins!

You're just mad DC rejected your proposed 30 part Watchmen sequel starring Booster Gold.
