0 on Bat-Mite #5 reviewThis mini-series is, without a doubt, one of the worst collections of Bat-Mite stories I have ever read! The main plot involves a rare pilot episode of Galaxy Trek (Star Trek) turning up and Gridlock deciding to steal it. Remember, he is a collector of past "artifacts". In response, the Inferior Five take action because…
Welcome to the Cassandra Cain fan page. This week on the Cassandra Cain show, watch her own a baddie and take names! In all seriousness, the opening makes me wonder just how relevant any of the other characters are going to be in resolving the conflict. If the Orphan is the right hand man of…
This issue is as fascinating as it is puzzling. It's a mixed bag of awesome and ghastly, logical and nonsensical, bewildering and intelligible.... Before I get to the review proper, I wanted to take a moment to discuss something that just occurred to me a couple of days ago. I'm not sure why it took…
Batman & Robin Eternal #1 introduces Cassandra Cain to the current continuity! So....that's all I really need for this review, right? Cassandra Cain aside, this is a phenomenal issue. Mystery...check. Action...check. Humor...check. Great artwork...check. Creepy little kids trying to kill you...check. Cassandra Cain...check ( yeah, I know I said "aside", but it's Cassandra frickin' Cain! …
This issue of Detective Comics premieres the new creative team of Peter J Tomasi and Marcio Takara. Are these two up to the challenge of presenting a worthwhile JimBat story? Will they succeed where others have failed, or is JimBat doomed to be one of the lowest moments in Batman history? Let's delve in and…
Over the last 6 months, the landscape of the Batverse has changed dramatically. While some of the new status quo was eagerly spelled out for us, other plot points were left frustratingly vague. Fortunately, this issue finally takes the time to sit us down and give us some kind of answers to questions I thought…
We are only 4 issues into We are Robin, and the team is already "taking a break" from the main story. Add some seriously questionable artwork and a guest appearance to drive waning interest in the title, and I'm really starting to worry about the future of this book. One of the things that this…
The numbers for August were released about a week ago, but I was holding off on posting this so that I could give Josh the honor/sadness of announcing the upcoming cancellations. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I can present to you the numbers that set these events in motion. Below you…
Sometimes the elements of a story align themselves so perfectly that they create a vision greater than the sum of their parts. This is one of those times. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is my all-time favorite issue of Gotham Academy so far. It almost seems as though this issue was tailor made…
Thanks you Brian Azzarello for being my lifeboat of sanity in the sea of chaos that is Snyder's current arc. For those of you who might be unaware, this issue of Batman is an interlude in the ongoing story arc. While Snyder is credited as co-author of this story, I can't help but feel that Azzarello…
Welcome to another thrilling episode of "Brandon reviews Bat-mite". When we last saw our hero, he was engaged in grievous combat with that master of paralysis, Gridlock! Robin came to Bat-Mite's rescue, but at the detriment of allowing that cunning culprit of chronology to make his daring escape. And so we join our hero as…
Phoning-it-in is a term in the acting business that describes a performance in which the actors don't give it their all but still complete their required part. Personally, I feel like Manapul and Buccellato were blindsided by this whole robobat thing. With that in mind, I don't truly blame them for the condition of this final arc. …
Defusing bombs, containing homeless riots, meeting the new Batman, and discovering the true identity of The Nest. This issue has a little bit of something for everyone, but despite so many crisscrossing narratives, it still manages to tell a cohesive story that delivers plenty of drama and tension. While this issue was solid, it bothers…
The decline in sales for the month of July is simply brutal. The only comic that managed to pull through unscathed was Batman 66. Every other single comic we review here at Batman-News took a plummeting nose dive. Below you will find a chart detailing the 28 comics that this site reviews, along with the…
What does it mean to be Batman? Is Batman a job or a costume? Is he a symbol or beacon? Does he stand for justice or vengeance? Is he a mask or the reality? This is Batman. To me, Batman has always been about a person who put aside himself in order to make…
This issue has everything you've come to expect from Gotham Academy: creepy locations, Maps being Maps, getting one question answered only to have it be replaced by three new ones, and quotes and references galore! (Can you hear the "but" coming?) While all this was wonderful...I couldn't help but feel that the story was overly…
This issue started off with a sense of urgency and intensity that made me think I was in for a real ride! Then I flipped the page and my willing suspension of disbelief was shattered.... The cliffhanger from last issue was Gordon getting out of the Batsuit to engage his 3 assailants head on. As…
Damian, comic related references, and insults lobbed at the selfie generation. Ladies and Gentlemen, what we have here is a good issue of Bat-Mite! The only thing I really ever wanted from this series was jokes custom made for comic fans. Ones that only we would get and appreciate. While Jurgens has only lightly peppered…
June ended up not being another reboot for the DC Universe as some people were speculating, but never-the-less, June still had a real sense of freshness to it that invited new readership to jump on board. Not only did DC release a whole slew of new books, but most of the continuing titles received makeovers…
Teenagers fight hobos, Duke chats with the mystery benefactor of the "Robin" crew, and the gang rushes to dismantle a slew of bombs threatening the city! Will they make it in time, or is Gotham doomed? No, that wasn't a hook to get you to read this issue. We will have to wait till number…
