12 on New 52 - Batman and Robin Annual #2 reviewLast year's annual was a tough act for Peter J. Tomasi & Doug Mahnke to follow and while I don't think this issue quite reached the same heights as Damian's home alone adventure, it came close and that's a heck of a compliment. If there's one thing that the Batman & Robin title has been…
The Court of Owls: a terrifying, mysterious organization believed to be the true lords of Gotham City. But ever since about issue #6 of Batman they've only gotten less and less scary as we've learned more about them and just how limited they really are as villains. They have the resources and the look, but…
"Son of Man-Bat" is an odd book to read because it's a cartoon tie-in comic that makes references to episodes that never aired! I know I said I wasn't going to review this comic this week, but I just couldn't resist saying some little something about it. I haven't read an issue of this series…
The fourth and (thankfully) final chapter of Andy Kubert's Damian: Son of Batman answers none of the questions raised by the previous three installments, brings no resolution to the hunt for Dick Grayson's killer, and has the audacity to set up a sequel, but I'll be damned if it isn't beautiful to look at. Just…
During the Christmas season, Batman discovered that Penguin was forcing illegal immigrants to work in his sweat shops, but just as soon as Batman began his investigation he was captured. Issue #27 begins with Batman caged and awaiting the wrath of Oswald Cobblepot. Like issue #26, Gregg Hurwtiz wrote another chapter that foregoes dialogue and…
Better late than never, here's the review for Batman Beyond Universe #6 featuring the latest chapters in the adventures of Justice League Beyond 2.0 and Batman Beyond 2.0. Justice League Beyond 2.0 System Override: Malware Written by Christos Gage Pencils by Ian Coello Inks by Rob Lean Colors by Ulises Arreola We didn't ease into…
1943 was a big year for Batman. Not only did the hero branch out into an ongoing newspaper strip, but he got his first ever film adaptation in the form of "The Batman," a 15 chapter Columbia serial starring Lewis Wilson and Douglas Croft. In 1944, we see for the first time the influence that…
An annual (Batman/Superman's annual was delayed), Court of Owls secrets, a history of Damian Wayne that never was and never should be, and the Batman's escape from Penguin's clutches. Here are the review comics coming out this week, January 29th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The All-New Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I…
Here's Batman News' exclusive preview of Beware the Batman #4 based on the currently MIA animated series from Cartoon Network. While the TV show's remaining episodes are yet to get a release date, you can still get your Beware the Batman fix with this comic book arriving in stores and online this Wednesday. BEWARE THE…
Before we get started, I just want to point out how hilariously different the New 52 Batman #27 cover is from the original Batman #27 from 1945: You could not ask for two things more opposite from one another. Anyway, moving on to the actual review: I could write one of my enormous 2,000+ word…
It won't be until much later this year that we get the original TV series on Blu-ray, but until then we always have Batman '66 to give us our campy Batman fix! This month's issue collecting the DIGITAL FIRST title features two stories (one large, one short) that pit the Dynamic Duo against the little-known…
Batman is pinned down in an open grave. He can hear the sound of Harvey taunting Erin above and he knows by the cadence of Dent's voice that Two-Face is in control. "The Big Burn: Ablaze" picks up exactly where we left off in issue #26. It's grim and filled with tension that finally snaps in…
The latest issue of Justice League by Geoff Johns and a team of four artists is an oddly paced one that will be more rewarding for those who are well-versed in DC's less popular heroes. The comic begins with The Doom Patrol's Karma and Scott Fischer rummaging through the rubble of what used to be…
Yesterday, DC Comics released their full list of solicitations for the month of April, 2014. Although the cancellation of books like Teen Titans and Justice League of America were announced ahead of time, fans were surprised to read "FINAL ISSUE" in all capital letters when they skimmed through the solicitations for Nightwing, Superman Unchained, and now…
Last week, writer Kyle Higgins announced that he would be leaving the title he started with the debut of the New 52 and that a new creative team would be taking his place. However, it turns out that there's a lot more to the story than that! Earlier today, DC Comics released their official solicitations…
Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo's Batman arrives after a one-week delay, Forever Evil is pushed back to February but Justice League fills the void, and other great titles arrive on-time and ready to entertain with updated origin stories (Batman & Two-Face #27), 60's nostalgia (Batman '66 #7), and late 90's/early 00's nostalgia (Batman Beyond Universe #6).…
Here is Batman News' exclusive preview of Batman Beyond Universe #6, an extra-sized comic that collects the latest DIGITAL FIRST chapters of Batman Beyond 2.0 and Justice League Beyond 2.0: BATMAN BEYOND UNIVERSE #6 Written by CHRISTOS N. GAGE and KYLE HIGGINS Art by IBAN COELLO and THONY SILAS Cover by KHARY RANDOLPH On sale JANUARY…
Back in August, Batman News reported that Justice League of America would become "Justice League Canada" following the events of Forever Evil. Now it appears that the book will take place in outer space as well as Canada and be called "Justice League United." The team's all-new roster no longer includes the likes of Catwoman, Katana, Vibe,…
Early this morning, writer Kyle Higgins announced on Facebook that Nightwing will be getting an all-new creative team and issue #29 will be the end of his run on the series he began with the debut of the New 52. His full statement can be found below: So here’s something I’ve put off writing for a while.…
Writer Scott Lobdell announced this morning on Comicvine that the New 52 series will end with issue #30 and the Teen Titans Annual in April. There is no word on a possible relaunch of the title or if any characters will be getting their own solo title, but we do know that Tim Drake will…
