45 on Batman #49 reviewBATMAN.......IS.........BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry if that ruined the surprise for you, but with that cover, I'm not really sure me yelling at the top of my lungs was truly a spoiler anyway. I mean, what did you expect to happen in this issue? For those of you who have not yet read the issue, please be aware…
Welcome to the Dr. Pepper Batman v Superman Prequel #4 review. Might I suggest that, while reading and in order to fully appreciate the comic in its entirety, you consume an ample portion of Dr. Pepper. Come on...you know you want to. For a freebie comic you get with your beverage, this is actually really…
The "mystery" behind Harper Row is finally revealed. I say "mystery", because I'm pretty sure that everyone saw that coming from a mile away. Since nothing that transpired during this issue was truly a surprise, you're just going to have to garner your entertainment from seeing the specifics of the expected event unfold. That's not…
Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep. Why? I had this issue on my mind and was so concerned with whether or not it was going to be a dud that I tossed and turned for hours. Ever since I took on this job (19…
This...was...TREMENDOUS! Without a doubt, this was the best issue of We are Robin to date. I was rather hard on this comic in its infancy, but with the last few issues, things have really started to pick up. With this installment, I think it is safe to say that W.A.R. finally has its first real…
Unlike its predecessor, Batman&Robin Eternal doesn't wait till the 11th hour to reveal its big secret: Did Batman really kill that kid's parents? Don't worry, the solicitation from last issue wasn't a false promise meant to string you along. We really get an answer. The issue also features several scenes at Spyral HQs with Dick…
Usually we like to hold off and only present officially confirmed news here at Batman News, but I was curious to see what the community thought of all the rumors that are currently flying around. I also notice that some of you were starting to talk about it in the comment sections of the reviews,…
The Dark Knight III's Miller-verse vs The Marvel Universe and Star Wars! Who will win this battle royale to take the prize as the number one selling comic of 2015? Well, if you've been watching numbers over the year, it should be pretty obvious. Instead, let's see if DC went down fighting...or just got completely…
First off, what is up with that title? I think they are trying to pay tribute to The Killing Joke, but that doesn't make sense. Sure, the Joker is in this story, but the events of this tale mimic the famous Joker scene from A Death in the Family, not the famous Joker scene from…
My initial knee jerk reaction to this story was one of slight annoyance. Are we seriously going to have Alfred and Damian together and not have them discuss Bruce? Had a Batman-News commenter not filled me in on the behind-the-scenes workings for this particular issue, you'd be reading a mini-rant right about now. It turns…
Bruce and "Joker" share a quiet moment together that bears an offhanded resemblance to some of the other "we're just a couple of guys" conversations they have had together over the decades. It's wonderfully introspective and is by far the main selling point for this particular issue. Meanwhile, Bloom commences the destruction of Gotham and…
Drake plays traitor, Todd plays possum, Valley pouts, and....St. Dumas makes an appearance! (kind of) Let's get to the chase. This issue has way too much talking. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against an issue that has a bunch of dialogue, but if it does, I prefer it to be meaningful and coherent. …
This issue marks the first chapter in the Yearbook storyline, and to be honest, it's quite disappointing. With a majority of the stories lasting no longer than 4 pages, you aren't really given too much time to enjoy the worlds you enter before it is time to move on, and in other cases, you are…
Batman vs Scarecrow, Grayson vs Orphan, and Cassandra/Harper vs a bunch of sentinel rejects from The Matrix franchise?!? Well, two out of three isn't bad... There are two main plot lines involved in this tale. One takes place in the present and involves Grayson, Cassandra, and Harper trying to escape the nursery before it explodes…
This is easily the best issue of Detective Comics that I've read in the last 2 years. Even if we go beyond comparing it to previous issues from its own title, I'd still go so far as to say that it's in my top 5 pick for best in the last year as well. What's…
This issue continues the flashback trend, providing us additional insights into the background and character motivations of our favorite Batfamily mute: Cassandra Cain. She also pulls off a pretty impressive solo insertion into the heart of The Nursery that I found offhandedly Snake Eyes-esque in nature. Pardon me while I follow my train of thought,…
The Robins square off against the Talons while Grayson makes his way to the roost of The Court of Owls! That actually sounds a lot more exciting than it turned out to be... For those of you not reading any of the other Bat-titles and only reading Robin: Son of Batman, you probably opened this…
Continuing in the footsteps of issue #11, this chapter of Batman&Robin Eternal also elaborates on the history of its more mysterious characters. This time, the focus is shifted from Cassandra specifically, to Mother and her Children. While some of what we see here could have been pieced together from what we have already learned up…
Cassandra Cain's origin story revealed! (Do you need another reason to pick this up?) Typically, Eternal tries to squeeze in a main story along with one or two other quick little check-ins. On this particular outing, the entire book was pretty much dedicated to Cassandra, and I found that very fitting. I think the main…
If you're an action junkie, you need to get in here right now! This was definitely one of the most impressive escapes I have seen in some time. Couple that with humor and well thought out fight choreography, and this issue has "win" written all over it. But don't worry, if you like your stuff…
