Thanks to everyone who's followed this series so far and didn't ditch me after that last issue lol....
Chief, thanks for your support and excitement for the ideas I have planned!
Krystal, thanks for the encouragement!
Zirron, thanks for your honesty and I'm thrilled that you liked my handling of Waller. I was scared to death that I'd screw her up, but I'm glad to see someone liked it. Don't worry either, we'll be seeing more of Ms. Waller in the future!
thanks for reading, everyone!

well guys/gals, my local shop is having a sale every tuesday until the end of april...... the last tuesday sale series back in september allowed me to pick up a ton of trades (plus a couple of zatanna and black canary busts, along with 2 Nightwing figures) for dirt-cheap! I think I may finally be able to add New Frontier to my trade collection, along with with some Sandman, perhaps..... also thinking about picking up the 3 Justice trades.......
Anyways, just thought I'd share that...... if everything goes as planned (and by that I mean, if I stay on Jason's good side during this sale) I may be expanding my collection a good bit over the next month.... wish me luck!

Thanks, as always, UDC, for your honesty. I'm not going to lie, I'm still getting the hang of this series, so I'm probably going to make more than a few mistakes early on, but, I plan to learn from everyone of them and improve myself.....
Glad you liked the Man-Bat idea. It's one that came to me one day while driving to pick up my week's worth of comics. I stopped, wrote down the general idea in my notebook and, well, here it is lol....
The more diverging elements of this series from the animated series will be coming a few issues down the road, just wait!

my pleasure! Isn't that what the letter columns are for? lol....... I can totally see where you're coming from.... not everyone shares my deep love of Bruce Wayne, but it's just a difference in taste..... With Batman being my second favorite hero (right there below Nightwing) I just painted him the way I like........
And, just let me put this out there while I'm thinking..... ANYONE who has any questions or comments on this, or any of my other stories, PLEASE don't hesitate to ask (or comment) right here in the letter col.! I'm more than happy to discuss this kind of stuff anytime! Oh, and, thanks for reading!
(and a special thanks to David for not hesitating to question the characterization... that makes for a great discussion!)

hahahaha! well, that whole bit was basically my attempt to make this world different from the main DC universe..... Of course, this would NEVER happen in the main DCU, but I wanted to make "my world" (for lack of a better term) different..... so, that's what i did....... In my mind, things work a bit differently in this world..... For one, EVERYBODY in this world is at least a bit scared of Batman Hal, Carter, everyone..... maybe if you check out the story from the beginning, you'll see what i'm going for.... sorry if you don't like it, but it felt like the right thing to do.....

You may want to check your local Best Buy! Like, 400+ best buy stores are going to cease selling anime, so they're marking it down as much as 50%! I got the first 2 seasons of Yu Yu Hakusho for the price of 1 because of this..... so, yeah, check out your local best buy and see if it's one of the locations having the sale. (if you're into anime, that is.)

well, they've already announced that Batmwoman will be the star of detective after Battle for the Cowl, but they still haven't said who will star in the Red Robin series..... I'm betting it's either Tim or Jason.......
oh, and, honestly, I have to admit.... I kind of liked Judd's first "Scarebeast" story..... Nguyen's art helped me like it more, but it was a good idea, for a one-time event... I don't like that fact that he brouht it back later.... it was a god one-time idea, but sucks as a permanent, to me at least...... my favorite scarecrow story to date is the one the Rozum did in Detective two years back, where crane did everything without his fear toxin, showing that he really was a master of fear....... those two issues gave me chills!

well, according to this news clip here... newsarama.com/comics/090228-wondercon09-dc-universe.htmlMorrison won't be back on the main Bat-title in June. Instead, it's going back to Winick. Ok, before this gets started, I'd like to say that, while I wasn't crazy about Winick's previous run (scarebeast, anyone?) I did like it a whole lot better than what Morrison's been doing.... Unlike most people, I think Winick (despite his many flaws) did some great characterization on Ollie and the gang... My only problem with his run was that the search for Connor was dragged out WAAAAY too long and it was anti-climactic. So, in closing, I think Winick's return to Batman will be... interesting to say the least. I'm just afraid that this might mean that Jason Todd will be the new Batman..... ugh... scary thought.... your thoughts? -Cam-

Thanks, Brian. I'm glad you liked the characterization; it's something I put a lot of work in.... I try to make each voice distinct and instantly recognizable, guess I'm decent at it lol..... thanks again, and hopefully I'll see you next month!

So there I was, typing out Issue #7 of Batman Beyond (yes, I'm slightly ahead) and get get roughly halfway through the issue..... then, the computer I'm using goes wonky for no reason and "widows has to shut down"........ the problem is I didn't get a chance to save the data!!! I was just about to hit the save button, then this..... grrrrrrr..... now I have to start all over again!! waaaahhhh I want my mommy!! -Cam-

I have to agree with susan on that.... my comic store isn't smelly in the least! All of the guys (and the few gals) I've met there seem to be very clean individuals.... and, I also have to say that the "it smells like unwashed teenage boys" is totally stupid.... the average comic book reader, first of all, is genrally in their twenty's or higher..... granted, there are some teeange guys who read, but that's not the majority! I hate it when people generalize like that! makes me wanns hit something..... CAM SMASH!!
But yeah, the atricle is totally bogus, and the dude needs to take a second look at comis and wiegh things from both sides, like susan said, and see that women aren't the only ones in comics who "perfect" bodies....

Oh, and, as for Terry's detective skills....
I made them lacking on purpose.... right now he's in the learning phase..... and yes, Bruce will always be the best and that point had to be made, but Terry will be learning, growing, and becoming (slightly) less dependent on Bruce for everything as time goes on! You'll actually see some slight improvement in Terry's skills next arc.... not in-depth really, but I'm making sure to note that he's learning....
Also glad you liked Nathan.... I'm sad to say he won't be back next arc, but he'll be back shortly, as soon as I get some other things out of the way.... I'm looking to build his character pretty soon and I hope he'll be well-recieved by everyone!

thanks UDC, as always, for your comments! I'm not afraid to say I made more than a few mistakes closing this arc. A lot of crap happened while I was trying to finish it, like my grandfather being put in the hopital etc.... I was down at the hospital a lot and didn't have a whole lot of time to write and, when I did get the time, I had to cram like crazy.... and also, due to lack of planning, I discovered that, I really needed more than two issues to wrap up this story.....
Because of my dragging things out in certain places in the first half of the story, I realized that I wouldn't be able to wrap it up in two issues like I wanted to.... the problem? I didn't have quite enough to make it a three parter without dragging it out too much... so, it all stems from my poor planning..... this is my first ongoing, so I'm still learning the ropes on it.....
And yes, you guess right! Spellbinder will be back (with better planning) and the plot WILL thicken lol
Next up is an arc that I'm excited about and I hope the rest of you enjoy it as well..... wanna know what it's called?.........
Man-Bat R.I.P.
that's all I can say lol.....
Again, I hope you guys will stick with me while I get my bearings on this whole "ongoing" thing.... things WILL GET BETTER! I PROMISE!

the most awesome thing happened yesterday...... I got to a fight scene, for a future issue of Robin:Betrayal and found myself looking for something to pump me and put me in the "epic" mood.... had to find something.... my favorite bands couldn't help me this time, I needed something.... asian!.... sounds weird, I know ,but that's what I needed..... while searching youtube for different hardcore techno songs and stuff I came across some gems..... to me they make awesome fight music..... one of them, I'd heard a million times before (and loved) but never thought of listening to it while I was writing......anyways, I thought I'd share these links with you guys, should you ever be stuck like I was and need some inspiration.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGBx0-LoNbMwww.youtube.com/watch?v=dI6PECZDwo8enjoy, guys! -Cam-

hmmm ,could've sworn I'd posted in this thread before... oh well, no time like the present, right?
I'd been searching for almost a year (yes, you read that right) for a fanfic site strictly for comic books.... almost all of the other fanfic sites are overrun with anime and manga fanfics, with very few comic book-based fics in comparison.... (not that there's anything wrong with anime or manga, I like those too, but there is an overpopulation of those fics).... so yeah, several times, I googled comic book fanfiction only to have ff.net pop up in the search or some other site that wasn't worth a crap.......
Then, back in October, I started my search again.... this time, narrowing it down to DC fanfiction (why I didn't think of that before, I don't know) and up came DC2 in the search..... 5 minutes on this site told me everything I needed to know.... this is what i'd been searching for for a long time...... I've never been happier to click a link in all my life.....
And that's my story....what, you wanted more?..... well, could tell you about how I had to fend off an entire hoard of rabid ninja-midgets to get to the mouse.... but that's another story for another time....
