The Batman Who Laughs...1st Appearance?!4587

Collector Drogio private msg quote post Address this user
Many of the recent batman B variant covers (Tim sale, in particular) were littered with spine ticks...while the A covers were consistently 9.6/9.8s. Something going on there too.

I'll have to look at my tt12 again. I think I got a 9.6 or better A cover a week after it came out. I had a B cover but sold it a few weeks ago before the price jump...it was a 9.6 or better. So I'm not sure it's a national thing. I think I saw a 9.8 on eBay about a week ago...

Funny, the Signature Series one does have two small spine ticks I can see, and I wouldn't consider the regular 9.8 a 9.8, but maybe I judge harsher... That one, though, isn't because of spine ticks, just because of a corner ding and the spine, bottom half, had broken color. At least, that's what my eyes saw looking at them for several seconds each.

I particularly like how none of the graded books actually state 1st appearance either TT12's or Metal 2 or Casting

Maybe it'll pop up in a future graded issue of 2000 AD.

It’s because there’s a minibook out there somewhere in an obscure DVD case

It really makes one think though... are we missing something?

No, someone else mentioned it, maybe in another thread, I think, and I echoed the sentiment. It could just be because they want to see what is happening with the characters beyond Dark Nights: Metal. From what we've discovered, the Batman Who Laughs will appear in Challengers of the Unknown, so he is sticking around, but what about the others? Also, if there is some disagreement on in shadows, cameo, full appearance, and that needs to be "stabilized", that could be part of it, too.

Tell me you don't wish these were real variants? They're from Thomas Mason's Twitter (@mentalstudios).... I've been going a bit nuts on Pintrest over the last month or so (God help me). Was never on there before someone recommended it to me for gathering together project ideas and also "tapping another market". Now, I'm gathering images of characters, artists, and other things, like the Batman who Laughs! :P






Check out all of the images of him I've found, though.... Some of these should be real covers!!!

Small world indeed! I always leave positive feedback when the books arrive. They showed up packaged well and in fantastic shape. Thank you. The issue I’m having is that Ebay timed me out and won’t allow me to leave feedback on this purchase. 😡 any ideas how to get around that?

@1nOnly didn’t realize but c9me to think about it - with all the production issues and delays with the comic + the fact that of my 50 sales orders on DNM 3 Mattina you made your order as the very first person (🙏) time has probably passed to leave comments - my fault.

I love the cover to The Batman Who Laughs one shot. I keep picking it up where I find it in 9.6 or better condition. Got 4 copies so far.

Also picked up Metal Three Mattina variant (the cheaper one) as well, and preordered the Del Otto variant for Metal #5. Looking forward to more covers of this character in the near future.

I really hope he sticks around for a while, but they don't go nuts and squander the character... Keep him "dangerous", you know? Shows up from time to time, complete chaos, and disappears.

Maybe he will have a split personality in the next movie! Right

Ok.... Want to get mildly disturbed? Check out all of the fan art and such I've accumulated. A lot of it is "official" stuff, but most of it is not. Some is SOOOOOO good! I even found someone who got a tattoo already, but I didn't save that (why?).

Yeah, there was talk between the artist and one of the "boutique" online shops to get this (or something like it by the same artist, Thomas Mason) released as an official variant, too, but DC nixed the idea. Bah! It would have been AWESOME! This one was a custom piece he did for Sonny's Comics.
