Swipe File - Swamp Thing 6 And Batman 5 SPOILERS

[Rich Johnston]

Scott Snyder writes both Batman and Swamp Thing for DC Comics, as part of the New 52 relaunch of the DC Universe.

But in the past couple of weeks, it seems like he can only come up with one cliffhanger for the both of them.

Okay, as the title and the visual says, there are spoilers ahead. Both for Batman #5 and Swamp Thing #6. If you are planning to read either, you may want to return after reading the issues in question.

If not, maybe this will inspire you to check them out.

Or maybe you just get off on spoilers. It's a recognised condition, apparently.

Here's the end of Batman #5 from last week.



And here's the end of Swamp Thing #6 from this week.



It's a very clever book, with lots of stunning storytelling techniques, and a true painful ache of loss at its core. But dammit Snyder, come up with a different ending for your different titles. Unless of course you're doing it on purpose...

I've said too much.

UPDATE: Scott Snyder has tweeted "What can I say? I love impaling "

"When surprise butt-sex goes wrong. Horribly wrong" or "When Batman went from being a pain in the ass to having a pain in the ass".

ok, 1st sign i should drop swamp thing as fast as i picked it up! J/K, im hooked.

but if Scott really loves implaling, maybe he should write Catwoman?

no worries about Alec tho, we have been informed that he is no longer human and is instead a construct of the PoT. its only logical for him to regenerate. although this might be what it takes for him to accept his knightly form. y'know, in order to live.

WTF is going on with Batman tho?? did someone slip him the ManBat formula??

Naughty, naughty....

He was drugged (again) so he's kind of hallucinating turning into an owl.

What can I say? I like creativity in my comic book stories.

(Not to mention that Batwing cliffhanger from a couple months ago...)

Maybe Snyder is taking a page from Fred Hembeck's playbook. I can see the comic now: "Scott Snyder Impales The DC Universe"!
