DC Comics Adds Batman’s Shark Repellant to Official Canon!
In a thrilling turn of events, DC Comics celebrates the monumental 900th issue of Batman with a surprising revelation. Batman #135 not only concludes an exhilarating crossover storyline but also adds an iconic element to the official Batman canon: the legendary Shark Repellant spray from the classic 1966 Batman movie starring Adam West.
Delving into the multiverse, Batman finds himself confronting Red Mask, a sane version of the Joker seeking to embody the essence of his crazed counterpart. As the Dark Knight navigates various realities, he encounters a multitude of Batmen from different dimensions, including Michael Keaton’s Batman, Gotham by Gaslight Batman, and even the beloved Adam West’s Batman.
It is the Batman from The Dark Knight Returns who plays a pivotal role, equipping our hero with a spare costume and a cybernetic hand. Armed with these new tools, Batman faces off against Red Mask in a breathtaking battle at the fringes of time and space. When a Joker-infected great white shark threatens his life, Batman’s preparedness shines through as he swiftly deploys the Shark Repellant spray, proving once again that he is always ready for the most extraordinary challenges.
However, the epic journey takes an unexpected turn when Batman discovers a surprising twist on the final page. His interaction with the alternate Batmen has inadvertently transformed them into the sinister Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, a backup personality designed to take over in times of compromised sanity. This revelation hints at a potentially perilous future for the multiverse, as this team of morally ambiguous Batmen poses a grave threat.
As readers eagerly anticipate the unfolding events, Batman #135 showcases the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the Dark Knight’s world. This milestone issue is a testament to the enduring legacy of Batman and the creative genius of the talented writers, including Chp Zdarsky, who skillfully craft each chapter of this ongoing Batman saga.
