DC Weekly Review: September 15, 2023 (Week 37)

Help Support The Heroes We Love: You can purchase all DC Comics digitally through their digital app, or the Comixology service. This month, we’re highlighting something a little different. We’re highlighting the Marvel Brain-Drain that has come over to DC. Chip Zdarsky (Daredevil) and Tini Howard (Excalibur) are writing their version of the Bat and Cat in Batman and Catwoman respectively, while Leah Williams (X-Factor) turns a new Paige in Powergirl’s story. Kelly Thompson (Captain Marvel) launches a new era of the Birds Of Prey, and Matthew Rosenberg oversees all kinds of chaos with WildC.A.T.S and The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing. And you can read the opening salvos of these stories at DC Universe Infinite, when you subscribe to the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $135 CAD).

Weekly Omissions- Batman: Gargoyle Of Gotham #1, Danger Street #9, Superman: Lost #6, Waller Vs. Wildstorm #3

Hero Of The Week- Damian Wayne, Hal Jordan, Jiro Osamu all brought in 7 Points but unfortunately Bruce bested them all with 8 Points in 2 Appearances. But thankfully, Bilal Asselah, aka the Night-Runner, managed to bring in 8 Points in a single Appearance, taking Hero Of The Week from Bruce.

Antagonist Of The Week – Remaining in Batman Incorporated, our Antagonist Of The Week and Performance Of The Week goes to Ghost Maker, the murderous Batman, who brought in 12 Points in a single Appearance.

Book Of The Week- And one last time, Batman Incorporated #12 managed to sweep this week. The finale issue of the Series brought in 76 Points over 11 Characters. It’s a shame it’ll likely be awhile before we see any of these characters again.

Welcome to the League – One New Hero Added: Gold Eagle (Charley Parker)
