DC Spoils Batman #129 Cliffhanger Before We Got A Chance To Read It
Batman spoilers beware! I only just posted an article looking at Marvel Comics' unbelievable cliffhanger to X-Terminators #2, given that it is told in flashback, and in the present everyone seems fine. Well DC Comics must have looked at that and said "hold my Gotham IPA". Because, in the preview for Batman #130, released today, and as textless as it is, they utterly spoil the ending of next week's Batman #129. Presumably. Oh well, in for a penny. Chip Zdarsky can't blame me for this one.
Because Batman #130 begins with Bruce Wayne blowing up his Batplane in mid-air. Presumably how #129 ends, though we didn't know how it blew up. But now we will.
But also surviving the fall into Arctic or Antarctic wastelands.
The Arctic, it seems, because that's where Superman's Fortress of Solitude is located. And where Robin is. Superman and Robin are both fine.
And so is Batman. But they are not alone.Failsafe is on the hunt! Superman should take him easily, right? Batman also feels bad about the long-past death of a Robin.
Looks like Failsafe is dragging Superman behind him. As Batman and Robin do their best 1966 schtick… think clean thoughts, chum.
Is he going to shoot Robin again? Is that a Three Jokers bit?
Or just Batman? I wonder if I can get Jude Terror to do his relettering jobs… If you want any more spoilers, I guess, you'll have to go to the bars of New York Comic Con…
