Comic Book Chaos has returned to the network as a freebie for a limited time. Listen now.
Tony’s Show Notes:
Mention about “Batman v Superman” coming out this weekend BUT we will NOT focus on the movie rather on the inspiration behind the movie. Won’t spend time on Frank Miller AND the following sequel titles…only brief mention.
Frank Miller’s “The Dark Knight Returns”
An older and weary Batman
Batman’s armored suit look
Make sure you’ve read and ready to talk about the graphic novel

How it’s influence is still felt today in today’s comic book industry
More darker and grittier tones in today’s titles
The fan’s view of Batman BEFORE and AFTER the comic book
Our own memories when the comic book was first released
Batman vs. Superman isn’t a new topic of debate. In fact, it’s a debate that’s been in discussion with comic book fans and novices for years.
Why do people side with Batman?
Why do people side with Superman?
Will also discuss the pull list for March 16th open to suggestions however (Mine are below). Either a single recommended title or recommended titles from each of us.
Superman # 50
Superman returns in all his glory in this very special issue that sees the Man of Steel back to full power as he faces his greatest enemy and also comes face to face with the pre-Flashpoint Kal-El! At last, it’s the meeting of the Supermen you’ve been waiting for!
Extraordinary X-Men # 8
“APOCALYPSE WARS” STARTS NOW! Mutantkind is an endangered species once more. But what better way to ensure your people see the future…than to skip ahead right to it? As the mutant race’s last hope is jettisoned into the time stream, the Extraordinary X-Men make a startling discovery: the fate of their kind is about to fall into the hands of one of their most formidable adversaries – the immortal APOCALYPSE. Now, the X-Men race into a perilous future, desperate to reclaim what was taken from them…and completely unaware of the horrors that await them.
Huck # 5
Mark Millar (Civil War) and Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire)
