[josh1212121]

oh okay haha. what was with the clues are everywhere? and where'd he go?

[AllegroRubato]

yay! im viewer number 1110, and for some reason i seem to find that to be cool.

Anyways, cool show guys! hope to see the three of you together next time!

[hope2prosper]

ever notice that Pete just kinda glosses things over and Alex is much more specific with reviews ? I mean, I could be sittin in Petes spot and sayin "yea, I really liked this issue, the artwork was outstanding, and I enjoyed the story" ya know, very general stuff.

[thestrongwall]

I disagree. Pete was pretty specific in declaring his joy over ppl's heads being ripped off. lol

[TheIndigoEffect]

I see your point, but at least he keeps his reviews spoiler-free.

[LAWMANrackofribs]

Good Show

[chris2233]

Oh and ...I like it when these 2 guys are talking and not the hyper skinny fuck who needs medication...Seriously.

[chris2233]

Dark Avengers if my favorite book right now...That and Thunderbolts XD

[hellointernet]

[Amiratof]

Justin will come back as a Black Lantern

[multiplayanoobz]

For me dark avengers is the best avengers related title atm and that's with just two issues in. These two issues in are better than the whole Mighty Avengers run from Bendis to Slott.

[grkpektis]

I hate bendis but man dark avengers was awesome. I hope dr doom plays a big part.

Robin has been amazing ever since fabian took over its a shame it didn't ger canceled its coming back after battle for the cowel. I hope fabian writes it

[angbandsbane]

Open question: Back when I first heard about RIP, my theory was that Bruce would move past his parents death and lose his edge, but they'd bring him back w/ the 1 thing more traumatic than seeing your parents killed: seeing your kids killed.

Though now obsolete, it raises an interesting hypothetical: assuming we all want Bruce back, would it be worth it to sacrafice, in any combination, Dick, Tim, Cassandra, and possibly Barbara?

Personally: Want him back, but not for all 4.

[loverman13]

Huge Robin fan here, love the series and will definately be picking up. Not happy it has come to an end, BUT after the battle for the cowl is over, im sure Dick Grayson will be the new Batman and Tim Drake will continue as Robin, and the batman titles will get a whole new, "hey look, its Batman, Robin and Batgirl here to save the day as a team, along with Huntress and they are all talking to Oracle on a communicator... happy familes! So its same bat-time, same bat-channel!"

[qazfreak]

When introducing The Great Unknown you amazing guys said issue one(and in the description), but in the banner it said issue 2. So I just wanted you guys to clear it up.

[XxFloggingMollyxX]

I'm pretty sure Nightwing is gone to make room for the Kryptonian Nightwing in Action Comics. It's nice to see the Superman titles reclaim the Nightwing name.

My oppion is that Dick Grayson is gonna take over for the Dark Knight.

[Maximilian018]

Dark Avengers is great!!!

I'm usually not into team books but I have so far loved both issues and I love how well Bendis has managed to make use of all the characters without feeling at all forced.

[lugo012685]

Did you guys review your Final Crisis Overall review?

[grumpybags]

The huge black metal penis that was in the Batcave during this issue of Robin disturbed me - did Bruce leave it there so Robin would always be in it's shadow and think of Batman's mighty wang? If so, douche move - but one I'd expect of that crazy not-dead bat-bastard.

[comicbookfanboy]

I'm really glad that DC is really cutting down on the Batman titles. I think the characters from Batman are being over used. They should just focus on Batman, and Detective comics and focus on just those for the up coming story arcs of Batwoman and Battle for the cowl.

p.s. Real men drink Bud.

[comiclove5]

My Comic Book Store was sold out of Robin.

[khalman]

Isn't "Robin Fan" an oxymoron? I thought everybody hated Robin...

[fanboydee]

i wish everybody hated robin!

[natzo89]

Is Justin pulling a Jean Grey?

[Guido5595]

I'm in love with all of the bat titles except birds of prey right now. Sad to see Robin go but excited for where tim is going. I'm probally going to stop buying bendis's crap new avengers so I have more money to buy Bendis's dark avengers. Love the art, the story, and the dialouge and interaction.

[fanboydee]

if justin is in a cave, in the past, painting 'comic book club' on a wall - i WILL be pissed!

[gatsbyman]

Classic.

[comiclove5]

LOL

[pobra17]

that is awesome

[BrandonHex101]

Thanks for reviewing the beer. I've been waiting on that for months now.

BUDWEISER SELECT! My top bottled beer.

Whow, was that a HOOT OWL making the background noise :P

I hope it's Batman Grayson, Nightwing Drake, Red Robin Todd and Robin Damian and of course, Wolverine as the new Alfred.

[bryanss3]

I'm pretty sure there isn't going to be a Nightwing and I think everyone knows Grayson is going to be Batman already. hopefully Jason Todd dies again and this time doesn't come back. and Tim Drake and Damian Wayne are the 2 Robins i don't care what titled Robin as long as they're Robins.

[BrandonHex101]

Everyone knows is why DC changes stuff, hence the clusterfuck that is/was Final Crisis.

Battle for the Cowl. I'll assume it's called that for a reason.

2 Robins? Crisis on Infinite Earths. I can't see why they would get rid of Nightwing fully. The costume is bad ass. Jason Todd certainly could make the roll darker like the name slightly suggests. Grayson never did that.

I like, Jason Todd in current form.

To each his own though in the comic world.

2 robins?!?!

[bryanss3]

Well I'm just saying their could be 2 Robins. after Battle for the Cowl these are the Batman titles that will be around Batman, Batman and Robin,Red Robin, Outsiders,Batgirl ,Batman: The Streets of Gotham, Gotham City Sirens and Detective Comics. so I'm guessing Nightwing is gone. I love Nightwing, but I don't see him as a character where if Nightwing disappeared someone would have to take up his mantle. I'm just saying there could be two Robins. I doubt it but it could happen.

[BrandonHex101]

I was wondering about the titles after the story arc. Didn't know about Red Robin.

What, no Batman Family title?!? :P

Batman & Nightwing should be in there.

[comiclove5]

Funny!!!!!

[lincolnputnam]

This ep wasnt titled 'Elseworlds Comic Book Club' ... so confused

[bryanss3]

some actually likes Jason Todd?

[Midnightv]

I never see you guys review "Stormwatch" or "deadpool" how are you selecting the books?

....Hmm....

Jason Todd > other Robins.

[bryanss3]

this is an out of continuity ComicBookClub though.

I think Dark Avengers is great right now, as long as you don't take it to serious the last 6 pages of this issue made the issue for me. hopefully it stays as hilarious as this issue.

[locusmortis]

So heroes ripping the heads off other characters is just peachy is it?

[ComicBookClub]

As long as they grow 'em back it is.

[locusmortis]

Congrats on a supremely asinine reply.

[SithHound]

Nobody said they were heroes.

[jiidee]

Back from the dead? Hypocrites! How dare you retcon the ComicBookClub. This was the best story arc evar!

[listo65]

is justin going to be the first member of the black lantern core???

[bryanss3]

I think Dark Avengers is just going to be bad guys being good guys and the real good guys want to stop them, but they're being good, so When the real good guys try to stop them they're gonna come off as jerks.

[bryanss3]

Example. the Episode of Justice League Unlimited when Superman and Captain Marvel fight over basically whether Lex Luthor is good or bad but its all a set up to make him look like a jackass to the public.
