DC Collectibles has made some fun and surprising choices with their latest wave of figures.

Sideshow's latest addition to the much-celebrated Premium Format collection is Catwoman, but not just any Catwoman. Unlike our previous Premium Format review, a remarkable amalgamation of Batman's most popular comic book portrayals, this figure is quite specific. Here we have none other than Michelle Pfeiffer from "Batman Returns" and in this review we'll talk about…
It's Bat-toy review time, and we're talking about the all-new Arkham Asylum version of Suicide Squad's Joker. This special edition Hot Toys figure is available only at SideshowToy.com and is designed, sculpted, and painted by JC Hong and Jong-hyeok, Park to look as lifelike as possible.

If you are a Batman fan, you owe it to yourself to try Batman: Arkham VR, the latest release from Rocksteady Studios for the Playstation VR. It's not like any other Batman game you've played before and, really, I hesitate to even call it a game. Arkham VR's gameplay is quite shallow and only two…
The latest wave of DC Collectibles Batman: The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures figures were released this month. Each figure was modeled after a character's appearance in a specific episode and, in the case of Jim Gordon, that episode is "I Am the Night." "I Am the Night" originally aired on 11/9/1992. It…

I fell in love with episodic graphic adventure games with Telltale's The Walking Dead and have played most of what they've produced since. The first season of Walking Dead is still my favorite of the bunch, but Tales from Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us are close behind. I've always enjoyed Telltale's stuff, even Game of…
You're expecting something dark, but the world before you is bright. It's very bright, the light's almost golden, and you're surrounded by polished hardwood and marble. Opulence is everywhere except for that gaudy red telephone to your left, but since you're obsessed with this stuff you know that that's the Batphone from the '66 TV…
Issue #4 isn't out until Wednesday, April 27th, but you can get a sneak peek right here at Batman News! Kobra has taken advantage of Katana and the Suicide Squad’s attack on his base to assault the capital and imprison Prince Brion of Markovia! As king, he can set his endgame into motion…but Katana is…
The Penguin The Batman: The Animated Series Penguin sculpted by Irene Matar is a too round in both head and body. There's a line between a little tubby and rotund and this sculpt crosses it. Oswald Cobblepot looks all right from a profile view, but looking at him dead-on just doesn't match with his design…
SXSW is coming (The South by Southwest Festival) and on March 18th, Telltale will be in Austin to discuss the very first details from their upcoming series based on the Batman mythology. The free panel is open to all attendees (even those who don't have a badge) and will be hosted by Kinda Funny's Greg…
After all the comics I've read throughout the years, I think I can say I have a firm grasp of how Batman should be portrayed. And yet, despite knowing for a fact that a lot of stuff was done just plain wrong in the Tim Burton films, when I see Michael Keaton in the cape…
Sideshow's latest Premium Format Bat-figure is a variant (and quite the improvement) of a statue released a year or two ago. This polystone sculpture, a limited edition of only 2,000, may be poured from the same mold, but, rather than sport the black on grey of its predecessor, features characteristics most commonly found in the…
Looking for a sweet, highly detailed Batman figure to put on display in your home or office? The Gotham Knight sixth scale figure by Sideshow Collectibles is great, because it possesses a certain purity. It isn't trying to be Keaton or Bale or Kilmer or Affleck or even the popular design from the Arkham video…
