It's time to take the kids home. With the shock worn off, and the technological (and mystical) identity validations complete, the League decides to take their future offspring to warmer environs than the Watchtower has to offer. But what mysterious agenda fuels these mysterious time travelers? And is Diana really the biggest jerk in the…
Nightwing's brotherly benevolence led him back to the big top, but this circus had an extra Beast that nobody saw coming. Bizarro, boats, bearded ladies—the Red Hood annual had it all, and it was a great read. There were also a few more annuals, a few once-delayed books, and a few more Kirby tributes. What…
It's brothers, the Big Top, and the Beast! The Russians have returned to Gotham, and Jason, Artemis, and Bizarro have infiltrated a circus with connections.

Welcome back to Break from the Bat, our monthly trip outside the dangerous streets of Gotham and into the wider world of comics.

We can't help it. We want to compare. How is Mister Miracle like Tom King's other work? Is it the next Vision? Will this latest King/Gerads collaboration be anything like Sheriff of Babylon? Nine-panel grids, a far off place—another Omega Men, perhaps? What do we have here? These questions are understandable, but they are the wrong…
The end is nigh, and it's the Justice League's fault! And their future children are going to tell them like it is and maybe try to save everything! With time travel and INFINITY STONES! What the heck is going on? Find out in Justice League #26. Back to the future I'm not going to complain…
I haven't read it yet, but I've heard that All-Star Batman had some delightfully bonkers moments this week. Including something about Captain Batman...? That sounds good enough for me, and I'll need to get on the ball and read it myself soon. Did you read it? What did you think? Teen Titans was par for the…
Black Manta has come for his boy! The mystery of Jackson Hyde's past has been revealed in all of its horror, and he has no choice but to face his father like a man. Meanwhile, the rest of the team continues to fracture around Kid Flash's ouster. Something needs to change, or the Teen Titans…
It's July, and that means it's time for another Legion of Collectors box. And what a box it is! With a theme like Batman: the Animated Series, there's so much potential, and Funko didn't disappoint. While there are a few faces missing (Harley, Harvey, Ivy, and Scarecrow are probably the most prominent), there's only so…
Batman #27 was another great installment in "The War of Jokes and Riddles". Fan-favorite character Kite Man gets treated to a sympathetic backstory, and it was quite enjoyable. Justice League had a decent showing this week, too. The troubled book is by no means completely turned around, but things finally started to click into place…
The virus infecting the Justice League is not what it appears to be! As Wonder Woman discovers the truth of their dire situation, Batman and Superman take care of their own crises.

But even if they stop today's threat, Molly's story suggests a bigger challenge in the future. Bryan Hitch pulls back the…
Batman made quite a few appearances this week, but none was more memorable than when he lanced a mythic beast in the gut. It happened in the prelude to this summer's Metal event—which is appropriate, because there's nothing more metal than slaying a griffin. My favorite book of the week was Red Hood and the…
Welcome back to Break from the Bat, our monthly exploration of what's happening outside of Gotham. I don't know about you, but some weeks, I have trouble keeping up with all of the books I want to read. Family stuff needs more time than usual, work gets crazy, and titles that aren't at the top…
Bizarro is dying. The goofy, beloved super-clone has been the emotional glue of the Outlaws since this series began, all while having an innate death sentence hanging over his head. Is this really the end? That is the question haunting Red Hood and the Outlaws #12. Lop-sided excellence We're a year into RHATO now, and what…
It was Mera vs. the League in Justice League #24, and to the surprise of no one (and the delight of everyone), it took a Batman to straighten things out. The issue wasn't all that great, but it was entertaining once through—I'll take it. "The War of Jokes and Riddles" raged on in Batman #26,…
