Show Notes after the Jump!
Are you ready for some Batman and Robin action? With the appearance of Prince The Flamingo, Grant Morrison is kicking the violence up to a whole new level. This week sees the conclusion to the Revenge of the Red Hood line, and DC claims there will be some heart-stopping action.
Take the jump for a sneak peek of the issue that arrives this week (November 11, 2009).
DC has unveiled the Frank Quitely cover to issue #6 of Grant Morrison’s Batman & Robin.
Cameron Stewart is set to finish his cover run on Grant Morrison’s Batman and Robin series with issue #7. DC posted a glimpse of the cover, and it’s interesting to see a glimpse of characters that played a key role in the Morrison Batman run make an appearance in the series.
For five months, Batman and Robin has been on the Must Read First list of Major Spoilers own Stephen Schleicher and Matthew Peterson. In what we hope to be a new feature on the site, the founder and second in command sit down to take a peek under the hood of the Batman and his possibly slightly insane sidekick.

I believe their Freudian slips are showing…

When Wally West stepped into his mentor’s shoes 23 years (or, in DCU time, 19 weeks) ago, he faced the difficult challenge of living up to the legacy of Saint Barry. When Connor Hawke took over as Green Arrow, his biggest challenge seemed to be explaining why he wasn’t as lecherous as his pops. When Kyle Rayner became Green Lantern, his mask looked like a crab made out of Tupperware.

Or – “Of Course I’m Serious. And Don’t Call Me Shirley.”
Oh say can you see…
By the dawn’s early light!
What so proudly we hail…
In the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose bright stripes and broad stars,
In the perilous night…
For the ramparts we watched,
uh, da-da-da-da-da-daaaa…
And the rocket’s red glare!
Buncha bombs in the air!
Gave proof to the night!
That we still had our flag!
Oh say does that flag banner wave,
Over a-a-all that’s free!
And the home of the land…
And the land of the – FREE!
