16 on New 52 - Batman #1 reviewIt seems we can always get a Batman comic with action. That's the easy part. You draw a few panels of Batman throwing a punch and the reader's imagination fills that space in with a perfectly choreographed fight scene that's the perfect balance of grace and brutality. But what about the other staples of Batman…
So this is what all the fuss is about. Catwoman #1 and Redhood & the Outlaws stirred up a lot of controversy recently with overly sexual themes in their books that was supposedly a slap in the face to the strong characterization of both Selina Kyle and Starfire. I don't know anything about Starfire outside…
Pretty pictures is all you'll get from Batman: The Dark Knight, one of the worst written books in DC's new 52. By all means, flip through it when you're at the comic shop and take in the well-drawn Batman and heavily detailed backgrounds. The use of shadow is particularly good, but please, don't read it.…
Batman and Robin #1 is the least new-reader friendly of all the bat-books. If anything, it feels like it should have been the Batman and Robin #27 that never happened because of the New 52 relaunch. If you haven't heard of Batman Incorporated, you're going to be confused. If you didn't know that Bruce Wayne…
It's okay. It's not a great book. It's not a terrible book. It's…it's okay. I mean, if you have three bucks burning a hole in your pocket and you love Dick Grayson then pick it up! You're not going to regret the decision, but you're definitely not going to look back on this story with…
I didn't read the Detective comics featuring Batwoman. I also know that a lot of folks love these Batwoman stories, but with no explanation of who these characters are and what their motivations are, I couldn't get interested in this comic. Don't get me wrong, the art is fantastic. It could very well be the…
It was hard for me to decide whether or not to give this book a 7 or an 8. It's easily Tony Daniel's best written Batman book, but it also feels like he's channeling Frank Miller too much. Also, this is Detective Comic yet we never see Batman doing any detective work. Instead he overhears…
Expectations Let me preface this by saying I'm not a fan of the whole Batman Inc. premise. The idea of Bruce Wayne franchising Batmen in other cities around the world doesn't seem like a great idea since it's never proven to be a winning formula for making Gotham safer (arguably Batman has made things worse)…
So who is Batgirl this time? Well, it's Barbara Gordon—the original Batgirl. But isn't she paralyzed from the waist down? Not anymore! Tim Drake's a little younger, Jim Gordon has red hair again, and Babs got her legs back. She must be especially thrilled about it since the incident that took her legs was an…
