Friday Night Fights--Millennium Style!!

You know, we're just about at the 30th anniversary of DC's Millennium event, and no one seems to care. Where's the Omnibus? Where's the Absolute Millennium? Where are the congratulatory posts and deep analyses and direct-to-video adaptations?

It's a crime, I tell you. So I'm here to do my part with this week's Friday Night Fights.

Commissioner Gordon has been replaced by a Manhunter robot, and the mechanical menace is trying to take over Arkham so he can kill or kidnap the Floronic Man, who was allegedly destined to become one of the new Guardians Of The Universe and usher in a new race of immortals and happiness and joy.

While Batman knows this isn't the real Gordon, the rest of the GCPD doesn't, so Batman and Robin have to take them out without hurting them so they an get to the robot.

And...scene:





The result?

KATHOOOOM!!!

Spacebooger is hoping for a Millennium episode on Legends Of The DC Universe...

Robot carnage from Batman #415 (1988), by Jim Starlin, Jim Aparo and Mike DeCarlo

    Oh Millennium. So wonderfully, magnificently terrible.

    Millennium and Legends both seemed to have very mixed reactions with the readers at the time. I'm trying to remember, but meds aren't making it easy - did any of the Nothing-Will-Ever-Be-The-Same changes last long enough to be noteworthy?
    Still, even if DC wasn't overly proud of the Mini, it does seem really odd for them to pass up on a cash grab opportunity...

    Wait a minute. 30 years and they're completely ignoring it, eh?
    You're keeping better count - has the Fantastic Four been MIA for 30 months? Because this could be trolling on a whole new level.

    This was back when status quos meant something and events were strictly an annual event so I'm betting some it mattered a lot longer than anything these days.

    Anything that lasted until the next month mattered longer than anything these days. By the time one finishes reading a current Event comic, they're already advertising the next one, or two, or more.
    To paraphrase Inigo Montoya speaking to the editors, "I do not think that word 'event' means what you think it means."
