What the is this?
Comic books, rock 'n' roll and movies. I like to think that I've matured past 14-years-old but I suppose you will have to be the judge of that.

More Batman silliness

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

OK, I'll stop after this. Maybe. It's just that I do get a kick out of seeing Batman with a gun.

DC's policy for Batman means that he should never employ guns due to his origin. It makes a certain amount of sense but at the same time Batman's got these real strong roots in pulp magazine so it's no surprise that someone (Mike W. Barr and Alan Davis in this case) would want to see Batman handling a gun like The Shadow.

I know Frank Miller and Chuck Dixon wanted to see Batman use a gun. I remember Dark Knight Returns had Batman with a rifle but I don't know how far Dixon got. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if someone got in trouble for this cover.
