The Best Batman- Scratch That- Best Comic Of The Year

You were probably praying that I hadn't read the issue. ANY issue but that one, because you know I won't Shut. The. Fuck. Up. About the character in that issue.

Batman Vol 3 Annual 1.

You cross your fingers because maybe I didn't read the first story. All hope is lost for you. I read that shit and almost cried.

BAT-HOUND, MOTHERFUCKER.

Bat-Hound V Batman: Dawn of Kibble

*Takes Breath*

     So anyways, his origin in the new 52/Rebirth/what-the-fuck-ever continuity DC is going with now is actually pretty cool. Apparently after Bud & Lou died Joker decided to get some new dogs, from what I can tell were named "King, Queen, Jack, and Ace". Because ya know, he's clown, he likes cards, etc. And get it, ACE. Like a playing car- 

     I think you get it. Very clever stuff. Also, very horrifying:

And you wonder why criminals fear a dog with a Bat mask on

And so it turns out that Mistah J isn't the best Dog trainer:

Hmm, that line rings a bell for some reason...

It's probably nothing though. 

"You know that thing could kill us so easy right now, right?"

"...Think it has Parents?"

"Batman NO"

"BATMAN YES"

So it get's taken to the pound, where behind Bruce's Bat-Back, Alfred adopts it

"HELP MAWSTER BRUCE"

Quiet Alfred, Krispy Kreme may be planning the demise of humanity"

And begins training / housebreaking him. Little does Al know, there's nothing you could really teach Bat-Hound, especially in the art of Warfare on the criminal kind.

Anywho Bruce, speaking from experience, believes that the ol Hound can't be saved from what the Joker did to him

December 14th is my birthday. I literally got Bat-Hound for my Birthday.

No, some wounds don't heal.

UNLESS YOU'RE MESSIAH BAT-HOUND JESUS:

     If John Lennon is bigger than Jesus, Bat-Hound is bigger than every musician including John Lennon.

     Anywho, Bat-Hound makes amends with Batman, because ya know, it's Christmas and all:

SECRET HOLY HEALING LICKING POWERS ACTIVATE. You are cured, my disciple.

     And just in time for X-mas, he is Knighted

No. I AM Bat-Hound.

It's a Christmas miracle, there's NOTHING I could ask for more than having Bat-Hound Re-introduced into continuity, and I can't wait to see his future misadventures. Maybe he'll meet an alien?

And here I thought Titus was going to be Bat-Hound.

Well, my rides here

See you next time I feel like posting next! Or whenever I see Bat-Hound in a comic again.
