Batgirl and Robin, together again. YES! I just love Stephanie and Damian together.
The pair team-up to solve a case of missing children which leads Damian to go undercover as a regular kid (much to the delight of Batgirl). We get the regular barbs between the two on a fire escape in front of a low level thug, but there’s also a nice realization by Batgirl when she sees Damian doesn’t know how to be a kid. He doesn’t know how to play. Her attempt to remedy this in the comic’s final page is priceless.
There’s also a good opening dialogue between Damian and Alfred, who Damian has come to accept as “an adequate servant,” and the random panel of Stephanie’s dream mumblings about killing Abraham Lincoln. Throw in a high speed chase involving a school bus, which Damian stabs (successfully) and attempts to drive (a little less successfully), and you’ve got everything you need for a great read!

Holy Meh, Batman! Catwoman has been cast in Chris Nolan’s upcoming The Dark Knight Rises. And the actress chosen to play her is… Anne Hathaway? Let me say that again, Catwoman will be played by Anne Hathaway? Hrm. Also announced today is the role Tom Hardy has been cast to play: Bane. I find both of these choices troubling. Although Hathaway is a great actress, she’s certainly not my idea of Selina Kyle. And Bane’s involvement is also troubling since Nolan can’t use Knightfall to set him up as a credible threat (as you would have to use the entire Batman rogues gallery – most of whom haven’t been introduced yet). There’s still no word on who will play the expected role of Talia al Ghul, but you can check out the full press release after the jump.

Following the events of The Thanos Imperative the Guardians of the Galaxy are no more. Phaya-Vell and Gamora were killed, Star Lord and Nova sacrificed themselves to stop Thanos, and Adam Warlock and Drax are both dead (again).
This leaves the rest of the team scattered and Cosmo to fulfill Star-Lord’s final request: put together a new team of “absolute badasses” and “annihilators.” This one-shot follows Cosmo on his quest to gather the Silver Surfer, Beta Ray Bill, Quasar, Ronan, and Gladiator to stop Blaastar‘s attack on the Inhuman/Kree capital of Attilan and agree to band together to save the universe from whatever next big threat emerges.
Cosmo’s discussions with each of the reluctant warriors are well done. My favorite is the short scene with the cosmic telepathic dog taking a ride with the Silver Surfer on his board.
The new series, The Annihilators, is also set to return two former Guardians in their own adventures – Rocket Raccoon and Groot. As to what will happen to the rest of the Guardians, we’ll just have to wait and see.
