The Shadow/ Batman #2 review

If you were disappointed that last month’s debut barely featured the Shadow, you will be relieved to know that he’s fully immersed into this issue. Our three heroes (Batman, Robin, and The Shadow) are far from embracing each other though, each of them irritated with the other two for various reasons. Unfortunately, our characters need to come to terms with a few things before they can move forward in their mission, so there’s quite a lot of bickering. Subsequently, the character moments also mean that there’s not much in the way of plot progression, but it should build to a more satisfying climax and conclusion a couple of months from now.

Twin Peaks Season 4

Writer/director  David Lynch  has now casually dropped a hint he’s not done with the world of  Twin Peaks .

As reported by  Twitter user Scott Meisner , Lynch was asked at a recent Q&A session if he has more stories to tell surrounding Carrie Page, Laura Palmer’s doppelgänger, who was introduced in the third season. “It is calling, but there are a lot of disturbances,” Lynch reportedly responded, in a typically cryptic fashion for the creator.

Today, we’ve got the first image of superhero duo Hawk/Hank Hall ( Alan Ritchson ) and Dove/Dawn Granger ( Minka Kelly ). Like the Robin costume, these outfits were designed by  Laura Jean Shannon , whose credits include  Black Lightning ,  Iron Man  and  The Jungle Book . And the costumes look…fine? The hard thing to judge with superhero costumes, is that it’s hard to see how they move, but going solely by this still, I appreciate that Shannon is trying to find the bridge between something realistic and something that is definitely in line with the comic books, which is a challenge when you consider that Hawk & Dove have a couple of the more ...
