ROM Vs. Batman

 

In the middle chapter of this Three-Part Epic, we see that the Dark Knight has not taken kindly to the events of last issue!  But if ROM is innocent, then what is really going on here?  Make sure that you return tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!  

Batman first encountered ROM on a Lost Brave and the Bold cover, an MS Paint effort from way back in 2010...

Catwoman and ROM

 

My goodness, what has ROM done?  You just know that a situation like this is not going to sit well with certain other residents of Gotham City! Good thing that this is only Part One of a Three-Part Epic, so make sure you come back tomorrow to find out what happens next!

Rom and Robin & Batgirl

 

Here's another cover which required a bit of prep work on the main image before I could add in the guest stars.  Check out a peek at the behind the scenes progress:

Green Lantern and Rom in: "Emerald Outfitter!"

From what I have read, there is still no word on what is to become of the in-development Green Lantern Corps HBO Max series.  I'm not optimistic that it will actually make it to air, as Warner Bros./Discovery seems to want to shift away from streaming series, especially expensive ones.  If it does indeed go away, I hope there are plans for a big budget theatrical Green Lantern project announced soon.

Green Lantern and ROM's last meeting was a more contentious one, in STF #3457, and they first met in a backup feature in STF #1100...

The Vision Vs. Amazo

 

I was disappointed that there was no appearance (or even mention) of The Vision in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.  I figured that he would be a continuing factor in the saga of The Scarlet Witch.  Still, he's out there somewhere, so he's bound to show up again - I'm not sure where, though.  Maybe in the Agatha Harkness series?

Metal Men and ROM in: "Building a Better Spaceknight!"

The Metal Men should have had action figures all their own, just like ROM did.  Well, maybe at least Stretch-Armstrong type toys to go along with each member of the team.  I know I would have loved to see such an offering on the toy shelves when I was a kid - but I'm guessing there weren't enough fans of the wacky robots to make it a profitable venture.

The Metal Men first encountered ROM in STF #2340...

Iron Fist and C3PO

Continued from yesterday's cover, we now see what Luke Cage's partner has been up to...

I am hearing great reviews for the pilot of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage continues to impress with its casting decisions, so I hope that Netflix can keep the streak going with Iron Fist.  There have been rumors of difficulty in adapting the character, but if those are true I am sure it isn't anything that can't be overcome.

Make sure to stop in tomorrow for the exciting conclusion to this three-part saga!

Elektra and Batwoman

The next season of Netflix' Daredevil can't get here soon enough for me. One of the aspects that I am most looking forward to is the introduction of Elektra into the series.  The relationship that she and Matt Murdock share in the comics is one of the greatest and it will be nice to see another take after the first theatrical attempt.  I mean, a plain clothes battle in a playground? I still shake my head at the thought of that scene.
