Batman: The Dark Knight #1 – Review

If you’re looking for nothing new, Batman: The Dark Knight will heavily supply you with overused ideas that everyone has seen before in a Batman comic.  This issue starts the series off to an okay note, but is easily overshadowed by the awesomeness that is Batman #1.  The only thing this issue does manage to do better at times is the great artwork from David Finch, who manages to draw beautiful women and Arkham’s deadly inmates well.

Writer Paul Jenkins begins Batman: The Dark Knight with Bruce Wayne making a speech about how we cannot let fear affect us.  Bruce then gets into a heated argument with internal affairs officer Forbes.  Their dispute is quickly broken up by the beautiful (and undoubtedly newest addition to Bruce’s long list of love interests) Jai Hudson.  But Bruce’s time with her is cut short when he has to rush to Arkham and stop the inmates from escaping, which includes a very changed Two-Face.

The Walking Dead Web-Series to Premiere October 3rd

While its October 16th premiere is still over two weeks away, fans of The Walking Dead will have an earlier opportunity to see new material from the zombie drama, as a web-series related to the show is set to premiere on amctv.com on October 3rd.

The web-series is touted as a prequel to the show, focusing on Hannah (Lilli Birdsell), known to fans as “Bicycle Girl,” the legless zombie that Rick Grimes encountered shortly after first waking up in the hospital during the show’s pilot episode. Her name is, of course, drawn from her vicinity to the bicycle that Rick took, since lacking any legs, she wasn’t doing much riding herself. Per AMC, “Fans will learn about Hannah’s life before the apocalypse, her struggle to survive and protect her family as the world begins to fall apart, and her ultimate demise into zombie-hood.”
