3 on This Week in Comics: The Immortals of the DC Universe plan to destroy the Dark Multiverse with the Anti-Monitor's brainYou know when you're watching a movie or tv show and some character starts speaking with a bunch of unnecessarily fancy words or complicated scientific jargon, and then the character they are speaking to tells them to speak English. I'd like to think that the passage up above spoken by Morgaine Le Fey is indicative…
One of the biggest negatives I had while reading the first issue of Dark Nights: Metal, was the sensation that I was missing out by not having previously read all the things that were being referenced. When reading Batman comics, I typically take for granted the fact that I understand ever reference and subtle nuance…
Detective Comics #964 is the second and last part of the Anarky story which serves as a brief interlude between the Azrael arc and the return of TIM DRAKE! (Tim Drake, Tim Drake, Tim Drake Tim Drake Tim Drake. *does a happy little jig*) Sorry there, got a little overzealous. Really, I'd just like to…
Do I really need to explain why this is a totally messed up action for Batman to take? Batman #30 Considering that this story wraps up some major elements of “The War of Jokes and Riddles”, and downplays what I am sure many expected to be one of it’s main draws (the fighting), I can’t…
We've come to Batman #30, which is our second interlude in "The War of Jokes and Riddles" and the conclusion to "The Ballad of Kite Man"... ...hell yeah. If I had to pick my favorite thing from this issue, it would definitely be the way that Kite Man is portrayed as a "fish out of…
Every month I open the newest issues of Bane: Conquest and I say to myself, "Please let this one be good, please let this one be good, please let this one be good." And month after month, issue #2 aside, I end up being disappointed. Reviewing this comic is quickly becoming a chore. Worse than…
You probably noticed that the thumbnail for this article has a censor bar covering the majority of it. Well, that's because it's kind of graphic. Don't get me wrong, I've seen way more graphic things in film and the comic is rated "T for Teen", so it's not like I'm covering up some mature content…
Batman and The Shadow are in a race with The Joker and the Stag to the mystic realm of Shamba-La. But who will arrive first, and what are the ramifications of failure? Personally, I'm not enjoying the tail end of this story as much as I was enamored with the opening to it. We started…
Lonnie Machin, how I've missed you. During the course of TheNew52, we have actually seen three Anarkys. The first was in a ZeroYear tie-in that featured one of the Green Lanterns and had something to do with people hiding in a football stadium to escape the hurricane about to hit Gotham. When I was told…
Batman #29 The concept behind this issue is so off-the-wall that it seems like it shouldn’t work at all, but it’s just executed to such perfection that I can’t do anything but applaud it. Seriously though, other than at an upscale Halloween party, when have you ever seen all these characters sitting down together to…
If you're just here for the review portion of this article, it starts about half way down. I'm going to preface this review with some of my personal preferences in regards to Batman, and comics in general, to give you a basis for what is bound to have some effect on the way I see…
You are cordially invited to attend a dinner at Wayne Manor on the evening of the 16th with the explicit purpose of bringing a resolution to the ongoing war. Rest assured that neither the Batman nor the GCPD will be in attendance. This dinner is being solely hosted by mister Wayne with the greater good…
Gotham academy takes it's final bow, and several team members here at Batman-News are quite sad to see this little book go the way of the dodo. In honor of its departure, we prepared a retrospective to give this series a proper send-off: Gotham Academy is “a story about kids living in Gotham under the shadow…
The end has finally come...but it's bittersweet. Over the last three years, Gotham Academy has been one of the few books at DC that's been consistently entertaining. That's not to say that the title was above fallibility (I'm looking at you Yearbook), but even when it made missteps, they were never so major that I couldn't…
Unrelenting action, check. Witty humor, check. Amazing visuals, check. Unexpected twists and turns, check. AzBats, check. And an ending that boils down to more than simply who can hit the hardest, check. This sounds awesome! I'm guessing right about now you're probably waiting for the other shoe to drop. Well, fear not! I wasn't just…
It's actually more like a shove, one punch, and two kicks. But essentially, Batman takes out Deathstroke wayyyy too easy... You're pretty much looking at the entire fight right there. Batman #28 While I really think the subject matter is top notch, the execution doesn’t really allow you to fully experience the story. -Brandon (read…
Gordon goes for a walk, Catwoman dons her Jim Balent apparel, and Deathstroke and Deadshot engage in a deadly duel to the death. All in this weeks exciting installment of Batman! Upon opening this issue, the first thing I thought was, "Oh no, this isn't the second part of the Kite Man story!" I really…
This week in the pages of Bane: Conquest, Catwoman is coerced by Russian authorities to spy on a society of international thieves. Meanwhile, Bane and Dionysius form a bet that just so happens to involve the exact same organization.... Catwoman's story: Our story opens with Catwoman meeting up with a fence to discuss stolen…
This week in the pages of Detective Comics: It's Azrael vs the Bat-Family, more flashback fun with Bruce and Zatanna, and Jean-Paul Valley takes a journey through his own subconscious. I know this story is supposed to be about Azrael, but my favorite parts of each issue have actually been the sections dedicated to Bruce/Batman…
Andrew, Jay, Josh, and I all went to SDCC this year. And while there, we did what anyone going to Comic Con does. Take plenty of pictures. And that includes costumes! What follows is not a complete compilation of every single photo taken. If I included them all, we'd have more than 200 different photos…
