It's a reference to Aaron's Thor run.
What's interesting here is that its an early Batman. I wonder...is this pre or post JLA?
[QUOTE=charliehustle415;6567749]Not me, I am tired of the street level Batman stuff, that's why we have been stuck on this treadmill of Gotham being taken over every year.
I want more sci-fi Batman, especially since sci-fi has been a part of Batman from the very beginning.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I think most people have forgotten (or are unaware) how diverse the early Batman stories were. Yes, you had a few straight-up crime/detective stories. But you also had vampires, monsters, biological warfare and a would-be dictator with a laser doomsday weapon. There weren't any aliens of course...but then, the Silver Age was loaded with 'em ;)

I guess that's a Thor reference.
[QUOTE=Hypestyle;6567943]... so does Batman lose worthiness?[/QUOTE]
Gordon whispers, "Joker was right.." and Batman can no longer wield his utility belt :p
[QUOTE=charliehustle415;6567794]I mean it's not taken over by aliens, it's usually Joker or some other knob.
Compare it to Morrison's first JLA arc with the white martians[/QUOTE]
I think that by street level people usually mean grounded and a bit more realistic stories. Some criminals taking over the entire city ain't really that.

Dough Mahnke never misses :).
Mahnke yes. Strangeness yes. But maybe it's typecasting... I just feel like Aaron is gonna do a BBQ flavored Batman and that clashes for me lol

I didn't really care for the preview that was in books this week, it just seemed kind of generic to me.
Well, Batman vs Aliens is a very Aaron approach.
It also looks like he'll be romancing a Tamaranean which is funny on several levels.
I really enjoyed this.

Dick's not the only Wayne that can get chummy with a Tamaranean :p.
I like how this is going so far. Aaron's reputation of doing minis has been good ngl. Punisher and Manifest Destiny and now this comic. I wonder if Aaron only ever thad the idea to only do God of Thunder for Thor. Nothing more
I picked up both issues not expecting much .
So far after 2 books it's not bad at all . A bit far fetched even for Batman and the art by Manhke is like from the good old days .
