I hate how Penguin looks here.

But this is a really great entrance.

...

are you doing all 4 issues?

...

Nope, just the 4th one that came out today. The previous issues have already been storytimed.
You can read the whole thing here readcomics.website/comic/batmanshadow-2017

That fucking scarf is pure sex

The Shadow having a certain control over animals actually comes from the pulps, even though his psychic abilities were far less used in them.
Although in The London Crimes he uses a special hiss to do it and put attack dogs under his command and it would have been cool to see it here (then again Snyder probably hasn't read any of the pulps).

If I'm not mistaken, at some point he actually had, or was supposed to have, a dog sidekick, although I can't remember where this was brought up.
The Shadow lived through every superhero cliche, even a kid sidekick (Shadow Jr in a 40s comic series), I'm sure there's a dog sidekick somewhere.

...

...

And of course, Batman just can't help but go out of his way to save his boyfriend.
This is why The Shadow doesn't have a proper rogues gallery apart from Shiwan Khan and the Voodoo Master (and technically Benedict Stark and The Wasp even though they died in the pulps and rarely ever appeared again)

Batman going to save Joker from the cops too?

...

It's pretty stupid of them to try and once again have Batman justify him sacrificing himself to save The Joker with a "his life matters too", and then immediately in the next fucking page we see how The Joker being alive led to a massacre of a police station.

Oh, wait, it was a hospital, not a police station. The point still stands.

And of course, it's not a The Shadow story until Margo Lane or Harry Vincent are in danger.

And that's a wrap, everyone. Thank you for joining.

The weed of crime bears bitter fruit!
Crime does not pay. Unless you have a vigilante boyfriend who's ready to sacrifice himself so you can go on and murder a few more thousand people. In which case nevermind.

The Shadow Knows.

>"Joker! I'm here my love, I'm not going anywhere."
>"I will fucking end you Shadow!"
Classic Batman

Pretty sure what's his name killed those people and not Joker who was busy trying to stop the bleeding from the carotid artery puncture hole.

Stag wouldn't have killed them if it wasn't for Joker.

I love how it changes size all the time and you can never see where it ends.
It really makes The Shadow seem even more mysterious and extraordinary

bump for reading

ay, thanks based user

ay its waifu time, not keen on the design, but better then batgirls one

damn, Madam X? that's a obscure one
dc.wikia.com/wiki/Madame_X_(New_Earth)

One day they are going to kill Alfred to bust sells and my heart will break.

why did joke just murder Zebra-Man?

I can't get over how The Shadow's cape and scarf are somehow bigger than Clayface here

I'm pretty sure this has been done before and it didn't work.
Alfred even turned into a supervillain once and that never turned up again

You're right, it did happen back in the early 60's or thereabouts. He eventually came back I think before the 1966 show was out.

Nice argument there

Do you know who the big green guy is?

Batman is now jealous and designing a bigger cape in his mind.

...

Those dogs look embarrassed.

well, at a guess, i think its floronic man.
I know its a step off from the norm, but he has a similar design here as th one in the upcoming harley quinn cartoon, so that all i can guess.

How well is this actually selling? A sequel is already in the works for October.

Batman would kill Alfred if it lead to the Joker getting away safely

Batman would let every human on the planet die if necessary to keep The Joker alive.

kinda average cover

nice cover

Batman is the worst person ever.

Snyder basically cannot write, but this is still pretty entertaining.

Thanks, OP.

who is the green werewolf looking guy?

interned was he? and then he graduated ...

maybe *interred*

This is great

Best butlerdad ever
