BATMAN BEYOND #2
Written by Hilary J. Bader; art by Craig Rousseau and Rob
Leigh; cover by Bob Smith and Terry Beatty.
Inque returns to battle the future Batman in the new
ongoing title based on the hit Kids' WB! animated series. The shadowy
villainess known as Inque has found a way to get Gotham's citizens to commit
her crimes for her. She hopes to use the ill-gotten gains to finance a cure for
her inhuman condition, but she doesn't realize that becoming human again may
cost more than just money. Can Batman capture her...and save her from a cure
that is worse than the disease? (32 pages, $1.99).
BATMAN & SUPERMAN: WORLD'S FINEST #9
Written by Karl Kesel; art by Graham Nolan, Jackson Guice
and Robert Campanella; cover by Dave Taylor and Campanella.
As the 10-issue maxi-series tracing the history of Batman
and Superman's relationship nears its conclusion, a split issue looks at two
pivotal events in the lives of the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel. First,
Superman checks up on Gotham during the events of "KnightQuest," --
illustrated by "KnightQuest" contributor Graham Nolan -- and meets
the "replacement" Batman, Jean Paul Valley (Azrael); then Batman
visits Metropolis after Superman's death, making sure that the so-called
"Reign of the Supermen" -- illustrated by "Reign"
contributor Jackson Guice -- is a fitting follow-up to his fallen friend's
career. (32 pages, $1.99)
BATMAN/TARZAN: CLAWS OF THE CATWOMAN #2
By Ron Marz and Igor Kordey, cover by Dave Dorman.
The mysterious African Cat-woman is not about to let the
ancient, priceless treasures of her lost jungle city be plundered by the
archaeologist known as Dent. Who better to enlist in her cause than Batman and
Tarzan? It will take all of the jungle-bred instincts of Tarzan and the
detective skills of the Dark Knight to save this opulent lost civilization.
Co-published with DC Comics. (32 pages, $2.95).
CATWOMAN #75
Written by John Ostrander; art by Jim Balent and Marlo
Alquiza; cover by Balent.
The Feline Fatale must break into "No Man's
Land!" Hot on the heels of her unfortunate deal-gone-bad last issue, Catty
is at death's door with no one to help her. Plus, she's got to break into No
Man's Land and track down Batman or a major strategic battle in the war to
reclaim the city could be lost. (32 pages, $1.99)
DETECTIVE COMICS #739
Written by Greg Rucka; art by Damion Scott and John
Floyd; cover by John Cassaday.
"Jurisprudence" concludes as Two-Face puts
James Gordon on trial. The charge: dereliction of his duty to Gotham City. The
judge and prosecutor: Two-Face. The defense attorney: Harvey Dent. And if
Gordon loses, the sentence is death. (32 pages, $1.99)
JLA #36
Written by Grant Morrison; art and cover by Howard Porter
and John Dell.
Grant Morrison's ultimate JLA story begins with part one
of the five-part "World War Three." Since the new League was formed,
there have been hints of a deadly threat that could only be stopped by an army
of the World's Greatest Super-Heroes. Now that threat has arrived, the doomsday
weapon of the Old Gods...the "anti-sun" known as Mageddon. But if
that weren't threat enough, Lex Luthor has assembled a new Injustice Gang --
with Prometheus, the General, and a new Queen Bee at its core -- and they're
launching a fearsome assault on the JLA Watchtower. Will the JLA lose the
ultimate battle almost before it begins?
32 pages, $1.99, ships on Oct. 27.
ROBIN #71
Written by Chuck Dixon; art by Staz Johnson and Wayne
Faucher; cover by Rick Burchett.
Robin faces Killer Croc in "No Man's Land." He
was down, but you can never count Croc out, and now he's making a move to set
himself up as the big cheese in No Man's Land, and Robin's going to try and
stop him. (Good luck, kid.) Meanwhile, the Penguin draws Gordon and the gang
into the Croc mess while Robin catches up on news from the outside world,
setting the stage for the final showdown between Tim and his dad. (32 pages,
$1.99.)

MOVIE NEWS
***********
"YEAR ONE" OR "BEYOND"
-------------------------
The king of movie gossip Harry Knowles recently posted
this snippet on his "ain't-it-cool news" website. Based on a
conversation he was party to while visiting LA. Apparently Warner Bros are
feeling the pressure ( mainly from the merchandisers and toy companies) for
another Bat movie. Harry reports that two distinct approaches are being
considered.
One follows the much rumored adaptation of Frank Miller's
excellent "Batman: Year One." Apparently Ben Affleck's name is still
attached to this one.
The other approach being studied is for a "Batman
Beyond" live action movie. And this maybe the project that Kenau Reeves is
linked to. Apparently a script is underway for this one with a potential
shooting date to start after the Matrix sequel(s) wrap.
AKIVA SPPEAKS
----------------
Akiva Goldsman the "writer" of Batman Forever
and Batman & Robin recently discussed his take on the current state of the
Batman franchise with the UK's "Empire" magazine.
He started by defending his work on the last two Bat
movies." , "There are scenes in Batman Forever, " Goldsman said,
"which are as true to the version of Batman that I believe in as I think I
know how to write, or arguably could be written. They're psychologically acute,
dark character scenes. They actually do exist in Batman and Robin - you just
can't find them."
When asked about the Kenau as Batman rumor, Goldman
replied ""The ideal sort of version would be Keanu and the Wachowskis
(Writers and directors of The Matrix). That would be cool. My guess is it's not
true, because I think Warners currently has a tremendous amount invested very successfully
in The Matrix as does Keanu and the Wachowskis. If I were them, I would do what
was planned [on The Matrix sequels]."
REEVES TESTED ?
-----------------
Unnamed sources are quoted on JettD60's "Batman
5" website as saying that Keanu Reeves "may have been tested for (the
role of Batman to satisfy) his interest." The same sources say that many
"...actors have been considered for the role."
