Get ready, folks: Kevin Smith, the man behind your favorite “Batman peed his pants” scene and AMC hit series Comic Book Men, is coming back to Batman to finish what he started!
Announced on his Facebook page, what Smith started with “Cacophony” and continued in the infamous “Widening Gyre” will be finished in “Bellicosity,” a word used to describe a warlike or hostile in manner or temperament. As Smith writes,
FAT MAN ON BATMAN!
SPOILERS: This Walt Flanagan splash page showcases the Dark Knight and the unnerving Onomatopoeia from ish 1 of the forthcoming conclusion to our New York Times Best-Selling Batman cycle!
A few years back, DC Comics made my dream come true when they let me do a BATMAN comic book mini-series with one of my best friends – COMIC BOOK MEN Stash manager, Walt Flanagan.
It started with BATMAN: CACOPHONY…
It continued with BATMAN: THE WIDENING GYRE…
And in 2013, the blood will run in the final chapter of the battle between Batman and Onomatopoeia …
BATMAN: BELLICOSITY
Summer, 2013
The question we have is, what about “Bellicosity” will anger Batmanologist Christopher Sims the most? (Update: Apparently Bleeding Cool already made that joke. Great minds think alike, Rich.)
Either way, we’re kind of excited to see what happens — in the same way that people slow down in traffic while driving home because they have to see that car accident. It’s just oddly fascinating.
