Kevin Smith is known as a fanboy and a movie director but the Hollywood personality has also been a comic book writer. He had a then-acclaimed Daredevil run during the early infancy of Marvel Knights and also wrote the controversial Spider-Man and Black Cat: The Evil Men Do, which reduced Felicia Hardy into yet another rape victim (thanks for that Kevin). Smith also wrote two Batman comics, Batman: The Widening Gyre and Batman: Cacophony, with one more called Batman: Bellicosity that has yet to be released.
Speaking with Newsarama, Smith confirmed that the artist for this comic, Walter Flanagan, has actually finished a number of pages for this series. Surprisingly enough, Smith ended up taking responsibility for the delay, claiming that Flanagan was almost-always free to work on some of these pages while he was always busy. Smith even brought up how he wrote a Hit-Girl comic recently.
Personally, I'm not holding my breath for another Kevin Smith-penned Batman comic. Granted, Smith's previous Batman comics does have its fans and his story for Detective Comics #1000 was actually pretty good but I'm not a big fan of this particular saga he made. Maybe this will be a good finale? We'll see.
Don't expect Batman: Bellicosity anytime soon. Batman: The Widening Gyre and Batman: Cacophony are now available on digital platforms and comic book stores.
