I had to groan when I saw that The Batman Part II has been delayed yet again and now will not come out until 2028. That probably also meant that we won't see Batman join the DCU until after that (if the DCU lasts that long between poor reception and company mergers). Hopefully whatever Matt Reeves has planned will be worth the six year wait for a sequel.

It'll be well worth the wait if Paramount and WB remain separate studios for the rest of all time; amen! Because that might tempt Skydance and Discovery to try and cinematically create one big streamlined universe. And that was the same near-irreparable mistake that DC made with their comics by permitting the publication of Crisis On Infinite Earths.*
As for today's cover? A nice tribute to the post-World War II Golden Age. For roughly five years, the world was at peace and optimistic (like it hadn't been since 1929). Then, came the Korean War...and the rest of the Cold War with it.
SIGH! The more things change, the more they stay the same. Right?
*Which is something else I will unapologetically always be Peter Pan about when it comes to "letting go."
@Carycomic: Well, not totally at peace. There was the Greek Civil War; the French Indochina War; the Russian blockade of East Berlin that led to the eponymous airlift. Please, don't succumb to the temptations of selective nostalgia, bro!
@Carycomic, since i am a kid of sci-fi from the late fifties like Topper, My Favorite Martian, Superman, My Living Doll, and so on, i know exactly what you mean. Logic & common sense?? Cut down in their prime!!
Batman...Out of the night, when the full moon is bright comes a crime fighter known as the Bat!
Cool Team-Up here; but I noticed that the "Destroyer" tag leads to both the Golden Age hero and the rampaging Asgardian armor. Might want to do something about that....
Also; since this Cover Suggestion got "lost in the shuffle" because of when I first posted it; I'll post it again: Wildcat meets the WildC.A.T.s!
The Destroyer does appear to have a certain superficial similarity to Eclipso's original look.
Great golden age cover! I know Batman was done by Bob Kane, but is this also a Bill Finger Batman or a Jerry Robinson from Detective Comics golden age run?
Isn't that Destroyer the very first costume hero that Stan Lee ever created? I think I saw a video about that once.
It was a Stan Lee/Jack Binder co-production (with maybe a little help from artist Alex Schomburg).
Why? It wasn’t worth the wait for the first one.
If you're referring to that nihilistic self-parody, you got that right. And, adding insult to Joker-glorifying injury, Clayface is apparently going to be the next Batman foe to be depicted as a sympathetic anti-hero!
Maybe DC Films is planning to make that franchise the cinematic version of Earth 3.
Great image! I'd love to see a Destroyer - Phantom team-up. Both are from the golden age with very similar costumes. Maybe an ancient connection will be revealed?
What about various Phantoms teaming up with crime-fighters of different eras who aren't aware that he's not immortal? For example: part one could have a the Phantom of the early 19th century meeting Zorro in Spanish colonial -era California. Part 2 could depict that Phantom's successor meeting the Lone Ranger in the Old West. And part 3 could have the modern-day Phantom helping Batman against Ra's Al Ghul!
@Anon314: I'd much rather see the Phantom team up with Zen the Intergalactic Ninja against one of the Predators.
I was going to suggest Tarzan and the Phantom. But, I see you only team them up every five thousand and sixty issues (see STF #104 and STF #5164). So, the third team-up isn't due till STF #10,224!
Ross forbid!!!
I'd say the Golden Age Destroyer (who debuted in Timely's All-Winners Comics #2, Aug. 1941) was equally influenced by Tony "the Face" Trent from Columbia Publishing's Big Shot Comics #1 (May 1940).
nihilistic? Batman becomes a symbol of hope by the end of the movie.
the only poor reception is from Supergirl, all the other DCU project so far have been well liked critically and mainstream audiences actually like Superman 2025, which is a step in the right direction considering how less popular he was beforehand.
But, he's intolerably too much like the Punisher in getting there.
I'm a mainstreamer. And I still think Cavill made a better Superman than Routh and Cornsweat, put together!
The Destroyer and Manhunter would be an interesting pair. Two blue-faced non-powered Golden Age crusaders working together.
Well, blue-masked, anyway.
