[JBatmanFan05]

DC Comics and Dynamite Entertainment launch their latest crossover series Batman/The Shadow this week:

I was actually really impressed with the preview. Rossmo's work looks great. We again see who is now (since Begins) Batman's most famous trainer, as far as Bat-universe-specific characters. Also, Arkham and the rogues.

Rossmo's art is gorgeous. I don't know the Shadow very well, and I'm hesitant with Orlando writing it, but it looks good so far.

That Tim Sale cover is fantastic. Sale drawing The Shadow! So damn cool.

Henri Ducard... Since RSOB that I don´t heard that name.

Unlike All Star Batman I think that... this kind of comic is for me... I was a little interested by the joker but... I'm going to watch the comic since the first chapter.

Zeus??..... I remember heard the name of Maxie? Zeus in the past... He should be that character..

Poor man.. I like this Montoya..

WHO IS PATRICK?

The Shadow was almost always best under DC, when it came to his comics. As with the Punisher, I'm pretty pumped to see Batman deal with fatal methods.

First Snyder comic I`ll actually like. Guaranteed.

The Shadow is awesome.

I like everyone involved, but I'm gonna trade wait this. Looks really good, though!

Me, too. Meanwhile I recommend Matt Wagner's Shadow Year One and Shadow Death of Margo Lane. There's a lot of the old radio Shadow on Youtube, too.

This was a good and solid issue. It's a good old-fashioned murder mystery with a touch of mysticism.

[Dispenser Of Truth]

I had high hopes from the moment of announcement, but this absolutely blew me away. This already seems like it's going to end up my favorite comics crossover other than JLA/Avengers.

Having read the first issue, don't if getting it in singles is practical - it looks like the cliffhangers are going to be half the fun with this one.

I wish DC would get the rights to The Shadow back. There are many other DC heroes and villains I'd love to see him cross paths with.

Would love to see The Shadow team up with The Question, (Golden Age) Sandman, Constantine and Zatanna, Red Hood, and yes even Superman.

I think a pulp/sci fi team up with Martian Manhunter would be fun. Detective John Jones trying to solve a murder mystery has a run in with The Shadow. Turns into something far more mysterious and it would of course require both of their telepathic powers. I know The Shadow is usually just known to "cloud men's minds" but it would be cool to expand on that.

Solid start. If anyone missed it, villain (honest signal?) was introduced in Batman Annual #1 that was released recently with art also by Rossmo and written by Orlando so it is safe to consider that short story a prequel to this, I think.

Matches Malone is different..

I was surprised in the last scene... Or Ducard is the Shadow or... He is a good actor, Bruce was tricked

Is this in continuity or is this like Batman/ Turtles separate but based on current continuity?

[HsssH]

I suspect you could consider it as being in-continuity, but I think that once it wraps up it will never be referenced again anywhere. Unless it sells really well and we get a sequel.
