56 on Batman #51 reviewBruce Wayne is summoned to serve jury duty, but what happens when the case he is assigned to is also one that the Batman was involved in? And worse yet, what if it's a case the Batman may have actually goofed up on?!? Initially, I was thinking about starting off this review with a quick…
It's Catwoman to the rescue! Will the Clown Prince of Crime come out on top and ruin the soon to be wedding nuptials of DC's hottest power couple, or will Catwoman prove to the Joker that you simply don't mess with a woman's wedding? The basic synopsis of this issue is as follows; Catwoman and…
It's Batman and The Joker trading blows in a Gothic Cathedral with shattering glass windows, moody lighting, and The Joker's penchant for completely erratic ramblings. I'd say that alone sound like it's worth the cost of admission. But as usually, I'm going to break it down for you with a fine tooth comb to see…
The end is finally here! Will the BatFamily be able to stop Tim and the Omacs from obliterating all crime in Gotham City as we know it, or, will we return to a nice little status quo with which the next writer will use to launch his story from? I wonder... Detective Comics #981 is…
Booster Gold is stuck in a futuristic hell of his own making where everything is a twisted version of its rightful self and all the characters are crazier than loons...including Booster. All this was done to show Bruce how messed up the world would be if his parents were to have survived, and surprisingly, Bruce…
With the release of Detective Comics #980, we are only one issue away from the conclusion of James Tynion's stint on Detective Comics. Will he be able to pull off a memorable finale, or will his work fade into obscurity, only to be remember by hardcore Tynion fans and Batman historians? We've still got two…
This week, in Batman #46, it's more time traveling high jinks with that lovable goofball Booster Gold. If you thought he made a mess of things in The Gift part one, just wait till you see what he does this time out... Before getting onto Batman #46, I wanted to take a moment to revisit…
Ulysses Hadrian Armstrong, The General, releases the entire might of Brother Eye and the Omacs against the recently shattered Batfamily. Will they be able to put their past behind them and band together to save Gotham from this staggering threat, or will the citizens of Gotham City once again be collateral damage as the villain…
If you want to read a really unusual issue of Batman, well, you've come to the right place. However, Batman #45 isn't so much a Batman story as it is a Booster Gold story featuring Batman. That sentence alone might be all that some of you need to know in order to opt out of…
It's time to go shopping for a wedding dress with Catwoman! But seeing as how this is Selina Kyle, I really don't think anyone expected this process to follow the norm....and it doesn't. But enough of me trying to be catchy in an intro paragraph. Let's just get to it! First thing's first. I have…
Batman #41 was a creepy psychological thriller. Then, Batman #42 did a 180 and gave us silly slapstick mixed with unexplainable scenarios. With Batman #43, we've yet again flipped in a completely new direction, poignant social commentary. To be honest, I was dreading this issue. I simply couldn't fathom how King could possibly pull out…
When James Tynion IV was first announced as the new writer for Detective Comics, he made the statement that he wanted to be on the title till issue #1000. Having said such a thing, it led me to believe that he had already mapped out a story that would take us to that point. Now,…
Two weeks ago, in the pages of Batman, Ivy took over the entire world in order to make it a better place....and I found the opening act to "Everyone Loves Ivy" absolutely intoxicating. Ivy is one of my favorite Bat-villains, so bonus points are already awarded just for using her. But that doesn't mean I…
Detective Comics #975 continues to deal with the fallout resulting from Batwoman killing Clayface. But whereas #974 contained extremely volatile reactions from some of the cast, this issue has given the characters time for their immediate emotional responses to recede and allowed them to have some much more constructive and analytical assessments of the situation…
Detective Comics #974 is mainly about the fallout of Batwoman's actions from the previous issue. 3 weeks ago, we saw Kate Kane take Clayface's life by shooting him through the head with an experimental gun developed by The Colony. Ever since then, I've been pondering what would happen next. My primary feeling was that there…
Detective Comics Annual #1 is another new origin story for Clayface. When I first read the solicit, I thought to myself, haven't I already read this? And I'm not even talking within Tynion's own run, but didn't we have a revamped Clayface origin back in 2013? So, I pulled out Batman: The Dark Knight 23.3…
First Victim's dastardly plan unfolds as a gigantic rage induced Clayface goes on a rampage through Gotham City that will undoubtedly turn many more citizens against the Dark Knight over his willingness to utilize a super villain on his new task force. Will the Gotham Knights be able to stop Clayface in time, or is…
The premise of Batman #39 is fairly simple. Wonder Woman and Batman team up to fight an endless horde of monsters in a parallel dimension. But seeing how this is written by King, things are never quite as simple as they initially appear. While you're certainly welcome to see the story as nothing more than…
For one reason or another, I went into Detective Comics #972 expecting it to be somewhat substandard. But the fact of the matter is, I actually enjoyed most of it. Maybe it's the fact that my expectations were set low going into this. Since I was expecting something inferior and got more than a halfway…
Batman #38 is, simply put, wonderful. I've literally been waiting to get a story like this for the last 6 years. Back in 2015, there was a flashback scene from Batman&Robin Eternal early on in the story that involved a murder at a penthouse apartment in the middle of a thunderstorm with the victims lying…
