The second issue of Dark Nights: Metal concluded with Batman being transformed into a gateway, through which the demon Barbatos and his seven evil Batmen have entered the DC Universe from the Dark Multiverse. Readers will have to wait for the release of Batman Lost in November to see how Batman will “face his greatest fears,” but via his Twitter account, writer Scott Snyder has shared a page from the one-shot (which he dubs “METAL #3.5) featuring a much older Bruce Wayne… and a mysterious young girl. The first panel shows the girl peeking her head into Bruce’s room, while the next panel features three young boys, draped in shadows. All three appear to have on formal suits and ties, with the girl wearing a dress. Perhaps all four are attending some type of party at Wayne Manor? As for Batman, the receding white hair, wrinkles and mustache on his face indicate that this is a much older, more weary Bruce Wayne. RELATED:

Welcome to Comic Book Legends Revealed! This is the six hundred and forty-sixth week where we examine comic book legends and whether they are true or false. Click here for Part 1 of this week’s legends. COMIC LEGEND: Marvel at first refused to adapt Raiders of the Lost Ark STATUS: True As the 1970s came to a close, Marvel was in the midst of a weird situation when it came to licensing popular movies. Since the deals all included at least the option of doing a few issues, Marvel would turn the books into ongoing series and then, when the sales started dropping, cancel the book after the initial licensing agreement finished. The notable exception, of course, was some book about a farm boy and a bunch of weird robots… So as the 1980s began, Marvel Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter wanted to be more careful about doing movie adaptations, but at the same time, the higher-ups at Marvel thought it was a great idea, so they kept pushing him to do more and more. So he would do two t

“With great power, comes great responsibility.” We all know this (let’s be real) somewhat ham-fisted life-lesson that Uncle Ben bestowed upon Peter Parker, but does it apply to every superhero? Well, not really. The lesson was more about not using your advantages over others for selfish purposes, it doesn’t really account for not being able to control said advantages. We are of course talking about superheroes who have trouble controlling their powers, be it all the time or in specific instances. It’s a bit of a staple of dramatic superhero storytelling at this point, the tragedy of a hero who wants to help people, but doesn’t have or loses control of the very powers they use to do it. RELATED: Power Packed: 15 Characters You Had No Idea Were OP Superpowers are, in most cases, a physical trait, something that requires active control on the part of the user. Under this idea, it makes sense that control is a sliding scale of sorts and that things like emotion, injury or even stress coul

Hiatus is due to staff shortage for weekly series This year's 44th issue of Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine published the final chapter in the "first part" of Tohru Fujisawa's GTO: Paradise Lost manga on Monday. The issue also revealed that Fujisawa is taking a "long leave of absence" before returning to launch the manga's second part. Fujisawa added that the hiatus is due to a staff shortage, and said once he can set it up so he can publish the manga weekly again, he will resume the series. Fujisawa launched the spinoff of his GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) manga in Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine in April 2014, and Kodansha shipped the 10th compiled volume on September 6. Crunchyroll has been offering the manga online, including latest chapters as they come out in Japan. Crunchyroll describes the story: The next stage for Eikichi Onizuka: Kissho Academy's Class G, a newly-established class for young celebrities. But as Onizuka soon finds out, his new teaching assign
