After the middling film and dismal ‘Before Watchmen’ series that was released by DC during the New 52, many fans think this franchise should be left alone. For better or worse, DC have decided to inaugurate the Watchmen series into their classic universe and pit the heroes side by side. Teased with the launch of DC: Rebirth, we began to see the two revered franchises intertwine. Many fans asking questions and giving arc theories in the process. Is The Comedian The Joker? Will Superman fight Doctor Manhattan? Can Night Owl still get it up? There were hundreds. One of the additional, less interesting ones was ‘what is the Comedian’s badge doing in the Batcave?’ This issue attempts to answer that. Following The Flash and Batman we journey on the quest to solve the head scratching question. Taking elements from Flashpoint (another book that I adore, just check out my review here) this book will join two critically praised storylines and in the process either make them every comic book fans wet dream or worst nightmare. Which will it be? Will DC pull this off? Can this huge risk pay off? Or will they ruin two of their best books in the process? Let’s jump In to find out! Batman Vs The Reverse Flash Getting off to a phenomenal start we join Batman in the Batcave as he ponders over the mystery of the button (it’s not a button…it’s a badge). In the background he has GSPN on. I have no idea why the Caped Crusader is watching a hockey game whilst doing his crime fighting but I suppose all of us have our sad little hobbies. At least he doesn’t write reviews for comics that nobody reads. Anyway It’s at this moment that the Reverse Flash shows up. Firmly footed as my second favourite villain in the DC universe, it’s great to see the return of the maniacal speedster. After dying in Flashpoint I have been desperate for the Flash’s favourite foe to return and the ensuing battle that he has with The Dark Knight is a thrilling one. Taking up the entire first issue we see how the two would deal with one another in combat and basically, Batman gets the crap kicked out of him. Knowing that The Flash will arrive soon, The Dark Knight merely has to delay the Reverse Flash until backup arrives. However, after noticing the button (it’s not a button, it’s a badge), the Reverse Flash picks it up, disappears for a second and returns screaming that he has witnessed God. He drops down dead and It’s from here that our true mystery begins. Opening the book in outstanding fashion, This first chapter really grabs your attention. Reminding me of the Ozymandius vs Comedian fight from the or
