12 on 'Batman: The Dark Knight Returns' Deluxe Edition reviewGive yourself a pat on the back if you were patient enough to wait and see if there would be a deluxe release! This version has both films for the price of one, all previous bonus features plus some new material, and it comes with a few collectible cards making it clearly the best option.…
Talk about variety! This week we have Batman stories of the past, present, and future both inside and outside of continuity. Here are the review comics coming out this week, October 16th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation. Hell no! – I’d rather not – Ambivalent – Interested – TAKE…
Fan-favorite character, Stephanie Brown, will return in issue #3 of the weekly series Batman: Eternal. Earlier today at New York Comic-Con's DC All-Access Panel, a fan asked whether Stephanie Brown would return in the New 52 and Scott Snyder, the writer of Batman, replied that the fan should try asking again at the Batman panel.…
It's time to say farewell to one of the best Batman titles. Although legends of our Caped Crusader will continue to be told online every Thursday as a DC Digital First, I'm sorry to say that issue #13 shall be the last of the printed single issues of Legends of the Dark Knight... at least until…
When Karen Traviss initially took over Arkham Unhinged I was intrigued. She was shaping a smarter story and a more fully-realized Gotham City. She was even approaching the concept of Arkham City from a new angle-- that of the average Gothamite who was been displaced by the construction of the super prison. She dug deep…
It might be October for us, but Li'l Gotham is celebrating the holidays of June and July in this issue and it's just as adorable as you'd expect it to be. Minazuki What's Minazuki? It's June. Apparently there weren't any good holidays in this summer month so creators Derek Fridolfs and Dustin Nguyen just went…
At 64 pages, this isn't a comic book, it's a novella. And while the $6.99 price might sound high at first, I assure you it's well worth every penny. Issue #24 is an important milestone for the New 52 because it showcases not only the birth of the Batman, but his arch enemy as well…
It's the conclusion to what's definitely the best arc of the Kyle Higgins' Nightwing so far, but it also wraps things up a little too quickly and a little too neatly. When we left things off 2 months ago, Prankster had henchmen causing chaos all over town and he had even turned the entire city against…
Batgirl is a dark comic where a variety of awful things happen to our heroine in every issue, but no installment was as brutal as part one of Batgirl: Wanted. In that chapter we saw Ricky, the boy Barbara had just started dating, racing to save the life of his brother but along the way…
If you haven't been following the DC Universe event Forever Evil then this comic might come off as a little strange to you as it casually mentions that the moon is permanently eclipsing the sun, Batman is missing along with the rest of the Justice League, and every inmate from Arkham and Blackgate has apparently…
We've reached 1943 and it's time to start the poll for cover supremacy anew. Poll #1 will feature all World's Finest covers from the year followed by a poll for Detective Comics, then Batman, and finally the best cover from each of those three series will compete against each other. Keep in mind that you’re…
This is going to be one exhausting day. Not only do we have the beginning of the massive Arkham War event, but in Batman we'll actually see the birth of The Dark Knight and possibly the Joker, Batgirl is on the run from the police, and Nightwing is teaming up with Tony Zucco to stop…
Professor Pyg and Mr. Toad have returned just in time for Gotham's Fashion Week, but they are none too happy about couture culture. Soon enough, the city's most famous fashionistas are targets and the Batman must piece together bizarre clues relating to an old and seemingly unrelated nursery rhyme in order to rescue the victims…
As you can probably tell by the awesome cover by Jason Fabok and Blond, this book is almost entirely action. When you pit Batman against Wrath AKA The Anti-Batman, all the toys get brought out and we end up with an explosive finale full of mech-suits, tanks, jets, and more. If it feels like the…
Batman: Black and White returned in grand fashion last month with a first issue that hit all the right notes to deliver visual storytelling at its very finest. This is a series that has a long history of excellence and the premiere issue kept that tradition alive with a collection of tales that were funny,…
The Justice Leagues are all dead and every supervillain has been unleashed upon the world. It's a new world order and the Crime Syndicate, an evil incarnation of our universe's heroes, is in control. Last issue, the Crime Syndicate savagely beat Nightwing and then exposed his identity for all to see. What other horrors are…
The month-long hiatus caused by Villains Month reminds me how much I wish DC would implement a recap page at the front of every book. When Batwing's armor began to malfunction and the assassin Lady Vic cast our hero off the roof of a Gotham skyscraper it was August 7th. Now it's October and we…
It's Jack Kirby's Kamandi meets Moebius meets manga meets Heavy Metal and everything else colorful and awesome. It's Battling Boy, Paul Pope's first original graphic novel since the excellent Batman: Year 100 and it's the focus of this month's Break from Batman. The opening pages of Battling Boy are taken directly from this summer's The…
Maxwell is a little boy with the ability to create anything he wants by writing it in a magic notebook. He also has a twin sister named Lily that can travel anywhere thanks to a magical globe and together he and Lily venture to the DC Universe for some adventure. Upon their arrival the globe…
Villains Month is over (I never was clear on whether or not it was "Villain's Month" or "Villains Month"... seemed to be typed different everywhere I looked) and it's time to get back to the regularly scheduled stories. Hopefully it will be a month of filler-free comics to make up for-- what I believe was--…
