Happy Batsgiving. This image was tweeted earlier by current Batman and Batman Eternal writer Scott Snyder with art by Batman Eternal penciller Jason Fabok. It is supposed to be filled with quite a few easter eggs of what is coming to the Batman family.
There is a lot going on in this image:
We see most of the stars of the current Batman books except for one….Nightwing. Could that be do to the events happening in Forever Evil? There is Batwoman with her wedding ring shining, Batwing looking awesome with Batgirl and Red Hood over his shoulder.
The quartet sitting behind Batman is interesting. Could these be Robin contenders? Curious as to why the hooded figures face isn’t shown. Could be anybody. Perhaps Stephanie Brown?
There’s a robin sitting on the back of Titus. Is this a nod to Damian? Possibly him coming back?
Lots of baddies at the table and in the background. I’m guessing this will be the main group tormenting Batman next year?
Speaking of the background, there is ivy growing on the cabin. Possibly indicating Poison Ivy? An owl in the tree showing that the Court of Owls are still playing a role. Way in the background there looks to be a boat of some kind. Is that ice? Mr Freeze perhaps? What about all that smoke? Also, what is the meaning of all the bones under the pot?
We see Commissioner Gordon looking down with his hands crossed…..or are they bound? What’s up with Bullock standing behind him with the gun?
Finally, the head of the table is empty. With Batman sitting on the ground, what is the meaning of this? Is it because the table is full of villians? Will there be a new crime lord rise up?
This image is supposed to be in the issues coming out this week so we can all pour over it and make our guesses. What are your opinions? Do you agree or disagree with me? See something I missed? Use the comments below and let us know!
