Peter Tomasi and Pat Gleason the creative team on Green Lantern Corps will be moving to Grant Morrison's creation Batman and Robin come November (for full story, see here).
I don't see this as an entirely bad thing. Morrison has done some great things on the book, but Tomasi and Gleason have made an interesting, enjoyable book out of Corps, if not a flagship title like Batman and Robin is.
I'm eager to see their take on the Dark Knight, especially since Bruce Wayne may be back in the book at that time. Tomasi's writing is crisp, although maybe a little light for Batman, and Gleason is a solid artist (definitely better than Kelly Jones).

Who Love the New Look?
I was fooling around with the CSS and I discovered how to make a background image. I'm still tinkering with it, but I think this is better then those robots, don't you?
P.S. If anyone has a comic-related picture send me the link and I'll put it up as the background. I have a feeling I'll be playing with this quite a bit.

'Inception' is Now Playing!
Even though its not a superhero movie, go out and support Christopher Nolan! Also, with 85% positive reviews it'll be a fun night.

WE'RE MOVING!!
Attention readers: On July 15th, 2010, The Batman World Blog will be changing names and URL's. The new name is Real Men Wear Tights (yes, you got that right) and the URL will be realmenweartights.blogspot.com (note--URL will not work until 7/15/10). All posts and comments will stay on the new blog.
The reason for the switch? Basically, I'm going to be covering the wider DCU and comics in general, though I'll still be all over anything Batman. Starting July 15, I'll hopefully be posting much more frequently and on a greater range of comics topics including a multitude of graphic novel reviews, upcoming movie news, and of course rants about DC (have you seen Wonder Woman's new costume? I don't care if it is Jim Lee, I give it two years, max).

Curse of the Music Meister
Well, I finally got around to seeing the Mayhem of the Music Meister episode of the Brave and the Bold. And I only took hearing about a thousand positive reviews to do it!
It was, all in all, a semi-enjoyable episode (sorry, that's as high as this cartoon will probably go for me), even if I had to cringe at the painful characterization and the part where Batman does his opera imitation.
One problem, however: "He Drives Us Bats" is stuck in my head forever! I seriously had to buy it on iTunes and am considering making it my ringtone.
P.S. I just realized that this is my 51st post. Its the longest I've ever kept up a blog.
