Help Support The Heroes We Love: This month, we’re highlighting specific members from a certain Family of characters, the guys who pay the bills over at DC. It’s time for the Bat-Family to get some focus. As we close out the month, we turn our eye to the Man himself, Bruce Wayne. Bruce breaks the FCL competitive system by being a God amongst Titans. Nobody ever comes close to dethroning him, with both Spider-Man and Superman being about 200 Points off from him. Bruce Wayne has Appeared 51 Times in 19 Weeks, and brought in 324 Points. He has Batman, Batman & Robin, Batman: Dark Patterns, Batman/Superman: World’s Finest, Detective Comics for On-Goings, plus several Elseworlds Titles, and frequent guest Appearances in Bat-Family, Bat-Villains, Justice League, Super-Family, and Wonder-Family Titles. Pick a book at random when you subscribe to DC Universe Infinite at the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $170 CAD), and there’s a more than likely chance you’ll find Batman in the pages.
Weekly Omissions – Absolute Martian Manhunter #2, Absolute Wonder Woman #7, Green Lantern: Dark #4, Peacemaker Presents – The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature #2, Superman: The Last Days Of Lex Luthor #3.
Hero Of The Week – This is not a Performance heavy week for the superheroes, as they failed to secure Performance Of The Week. Instead, Superman has to settle for Hero Of The Week, bringing in 15 Points over 3 Appearances.
Antagonist Of The Week – Mark this week on the calendar, it is very rare for Villains to wholeheartedly wipe the floor with Heroes. Lex Luthor took Antagonist Of The Week, beating Superman by 1 Point with 1 less Appearance, with 16 Points over 2 Appearances. And Performance Of The Week went to Gorilla Grodd, who brought in 15 Points in a Single Appearance, which took Superman 3 separate Appearances to pull off. Good for them.
Book Of The Week – It’s a Justice League week, and it just so happens to also be an Event Week, with the We Are Yesterday Event playing out in the pages of Justice League Unlimited and Batman/Superman: World’s Finest. Book Of The Week went to Justice League Unlimited #6, which brought in 102 Points over 30 Characters.
Power Of The Week – This week’s Power Of The Week goes to Emily Sung, our newest League addition. The Element Woman used one of my favorite Powers, Fourth Wall, breaking through dimensions to speak directly to the audience.
Welcome To The League – Two New Heroes Added: Elemental Woman (Emily Sung), Hawkman (Zauriel).
