    Not sure if this topic has been brought up here or not. I just started reading Smallville 'Season 11' (sorry I actually liked that show) and apparently Batman and 'Nightwing' are in issues 13 to like 28 or so. Interesting interpretations of Bruce and...I think it's actually Barbara Gordon as Nightwing in these issues. It's supposed to be a continuation of the show which explains the not so out there costumes I suppose. Was wondering if anyone else was reading and what they thought

    It's a different take, that's for sure. Nightwing was supposed to be Stephanie Brown, but DC had them change it to Babs instead for whatever reason. There's a lot to like, and there's a bit that is kind of weird. I'm not a big fan of Batman's face makeup, but I guess I get it. Once you get to the most recent arc, I think you'll find a certain iconic character's big twist to be pretty interesting. They certainly could have done a worse job adapting the characters.

    @rustyroy: I was trying to avoid the spoiler, but I'll drop it here I guess:

    The Joker is Bruce Wayne from a parallel Earth.

(I read it free in Barnes and Nobels)

    Woah, I didn't expected that, I thought it will be just a underwhelming spoiler but this is very overwhelming.

    @rustyroy: Yeah, it's pretty wild. A lot of people would be upset about that kind of thing, but I kind of welcome the experimentation that Smallville has allowed for various characters. It doesn't always work out, but sometimes it turns out really awesome.

    @captaintightpants12: It sounds really cool, the best thing about Joker's origin is that it can be played so many different ways but everything depends on the execution.

    ...I'm not going to mouse over the spoilers for once. Considering that it's supposed to be a continuation of the show and has nothing really to do with the original continuity or New 52 it's pretty cool and I've always dug the subtle little things they did. Like when Bart was first on the show and Clark found his various alias's; they were Barry Allen, Jay Garrick, and Wally West. Watching the comic unfold the way it has still trying to keep the relationships and such like the show instead of saying, hey it's a comic let's really superpower and make everything really over the top even more has been nice.

    I love the series, watched all of Smallville prior to reading the book, not necessary but a good general background would be helpful to guide you... Great book.

    I don't mind it, Smallville is an Elseworld's tale as far as I'm concerned, since Chloe already is "Oracle" I guess Babs had to be something else.

    @the_stegman: I think he's more upset that they canned Steph. I think. His avatar is Nightwing though, so maybe he's more mad about a not-Dick-Grayson-Nightwing.

    wow...I never made that correlation until you brought it up, but yea, they totally made her Oracle.
