Reader’s Guide to the New DC Universe: Batman: The Dark Knight
Reader’s Guide to the New DC Universe: Batman: The Dark Knight: "
Each weekday, Tim will take a look at what we know about each of the upcoming 52 new comics from the September DC relaunch, one series at a time. Today: BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT!
The Concept and Characters: Here’s the big question readers would probably have about this series: what makes this comic different from Batman or Batman & Robin or Detective Comics, all of which are hitting the stands around the same time as this series. The answer: David Finch.
Because this is still just a Batman comic — one that tells about the adventures of Bruce Wayne in Gotham City, cape and cowl and gadgets and punching and all.
But David Finch’s take on Batman is a more horror-intense version, with a bigger emphasis on the Gotham City grotesqueries than the other Batman variations. And it’s a series with a name that not only alludes to one of the greatest Batman stories ever told (Frank Miller’s seminal The Dark Knight Returns), but also a movie that a few people probably watched around the planet that one summer (Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight).
It’s also one of the weirdest DC relaunch titles.

DC Relaunches entire Line starting August 31st
Beginning August 31, the DCU will relaunch 52 titles with #1 issues. This is HUGE news, as they're relaunching cornerstone titles like Action Comics and Detective Comics--the two longest-running series in comic book history.
This is exciting because it means that anybody can enter these series without previous experience in the DCU. If you've tried to jump into the DCU, you know that it's pretty difficult--the Universe is so well-cultivated, so rich, that it's almost like a full-time job figuring out who all of these characters are and how they relate to one another.
CLICK TO SEE ALL DC RELAUNCH ISSUES

Relaunching is a bold move, and TFAW is making another one: Everyone who orders any of the issues found below will be automatically entered into our contest to win all all 52 DCU Relaunch #1 issues! Order one of the special issues, get one entry into the contest. Order two of the special issues, get two entries into the contest, and so on.

Experience the classic 1992 X-Men arcade game on the go! Humanity's last hope once again rests on the shoulders of Professor Xavier and his team of uncanny X-Men. Choose from some of your favorite classic characters like Wolverine and Cyclops, as you relive one of the best arcade superhero action games of all time. Take the fight to Magneto and his cronies as you battle your way through hundreds of Sentinels and classic supervillains such as Pyro, Juggernaut, and Mystique. A faithful reproduction of the original arcade hit, this Android version of X-Men merges the classic gameplay of the original with clean new visuals and wi-fi multiplayer support.
"For nostalgic comics fans or people that hung out in arcades during the early 90's, this game will be a worthwhile addition to their Android phone. Frankly, it's a perfect port of a game that was lauded as great."
-- Android Police
"This is an extremely faithful port of the arcade game, save for a few nice updates such as a level select, "awards" to unlock, leader boards, OpenFeint integration, and 4-player multiplayer over wi-fi. Everything you loved about the classic, plus some nice, new additions to make it fun for a whole new generation of X-Men fans." -- Android Rundown
