Year of the Bat

DC’s Influence Omnipresent



Walking away from the convention, one fan asked, “Where was DC?” Everywhere. Convention-goers were greeted daily by amazing, giant Teen Titans Go balloons. Cosplayers were dressed as the Joker and other Batman characters. An original copy of Action Comics #1 was on display in the collector’s section. DC wasn’t loud, but it was everywhere.



For the second year in a row, DC eschewed the conventional show floor space for the area below the main entrance. There they displayed all of the cinematic Batman costumes in honor of Batman Year 75.

There, DC also had a hands-on demo of their Infinite Crisis MMORPG. Fans seemed to enjoy the game experience and the alternate takes on the characters. 




In Artist Alley, DC writers were signing their books and artists were sketching at a dedicated DC booth. This was easily my favorite place to be as I was able to talk art with Cliff Chiang and all things Batman with Scott Snyder. —Luis
