10/16: Another issue? <eye roll> Sigh, the mini-series is a mixed bag for me but implicitly sales must have been great for DC to add a 7th then an 8th issue. And, obviously Joker is the uninvited guest.

-Chapter 16

Neat, and Krypto the Superdog, too. Pity, the Outsiders digital comic wasn't included in the YJ one.

Since DC is known for releasing incorrect details for their upcoming collections I'm hoping that's the case here. It really should be collected in print somewhere especially for those who live outside the U.S. and don't have DC Universe.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Did anybody pick up the Justice League Unlimited: Time after Time graphic novel? The last issue in the collection was missing the text on the first page. Pretty sloppy for DC.

I'm still waiting on getting a copy of the Batman Adventures: Robin GN, but I did grab this one and it had the same mistake. DC's collection department has been really slipping up as late and the reshuffle is really impacting the quality of their books.

The Harley Quinn cartoon is getting its own tie-in comic.

 

[Yojimbo]

Patrick Schumacker has commented while it's still "extremely early" to talk about the Harley Quinn comic, "but it does loosely tie into the show and what we’re cooking for season 3."

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I left comics behind a few years ago... but between 'Batman: The Adventures Continue', 'Batman 89' and now this, DC sure is drawing me right back in.

 

[Frontier]

Patrick Schumacker has commented while it's still "extremely early" to talk about the Harley Quinn comic, "but it does loosely tie into the show and what we’re cooking for season 3."

I'm wondering if it might bridge the gap between season 2 or season 3? Or at least introduce stuff they plan to use in season 3 .

 

[Fone Bone]

Will it have f-bombs?

 

[Frontier]

Will it have f-bombs?

I guess they might be bleeped out.

2/20: All I care is that a producer or both then we go from there. Perhaps. More so if it's a time skip and they can use the comic to create clearer context.

2/27: Just noticed on Amazon, the Batman: The Adventures Continue TPB now is titled "Batman: The Adventures Continue Season One". Sigh. @James Harvey you jinxed it!
