Greetings to my Comics Heating Up and Awesomesauce families. I would like to say thank you for reading this each and every week.  As always thank you for the friendship, encouragement, advice, and support. I love being a part of this and it is the greatest blessing in my life. I hope everyone had an awesome and amazing Thanksgiving. Happy holiday season to everyone .
Nightwing A New World Order #1-4, Justice League #32, Defenders #7, and Action Comics #992 were my reads of the week. I am loving the Arrowverse Earth X crossover.

Who would be the Anti-Batman? Would it be the Joker? Batman is methodical and calculated, predictable even. He has a Bat-cave, drives the Bat-mobile, and throws Batarangs. On the flip side Joker is wild and crazy, unpredictable, but still has Joker gas and likes to make people “smile”. But what if there was an Anti-Batman? One more like the character in Nemesis by Mark Millar? Could Batman #38 be leading up to this? Most certainly there is a new character introduced in Batman #38. But will this lead up to a new villain?
Read on for spoilers. There are no pictures and the text is not redacted. Read on only if you don’t mind spoilers. Continue reading “Spoilers: Is Batman #38 Leading Up To an Anti-Batman?”
