4 on Break from the Bat #11: Dept. H Vol. 1: Pressure reviewWelcome back to Break from the Bat, our monthly look at what's happening in the wide world of comics outside of Gotham. I had a tough time picking a book to feature this month, because there were two that I really loved. So while it doesn't get the place of honor, be sure to read…
The battle for Bizarro raged last month, and Jason raced back to his cave looking for the cure. Unfortunately, Black Mask followed him, and as we pick up the story in Red Hood and the Outlaws #6, everyone's favorite skeletal low-life gloats over our (apparently) defeated hero. But Jason isn't one to stop banging his…
A short stay in Amanda Waller's custody last week segue's directly into this week's long-awaited collision between the "Justicide Squeague" and the Wall's original band of losers. The fight is a massive one, and before it's all over, feelings will be hurt, alliances will be forged, and someone's going to need some eye drops. Justice League…
The Dark Knight returns to take on Mr. Bloom! With Gordon and Gotham against the wall, Bruce's blank mind is jogged by a robin and a choo-choo, and the city that never gives back gives back Batman, reborn (not to be confused with that other time Bruce died and came back). What's included? Bloom collects…
So. That happened. Hygiene concerns aside, I had trouble connecting with Batman #14. It was really fun at times, but the "Cat and Bat" stuff still feels off to me—inhumanly abstract—as though King were still writing The Vision and it's only a matter of time before we see the black and gray motif of the…
You've seen him speaking ominously and bleeding from his nose in the pages of Justice League vs. Suicide Squad, but now, HE GETS. HIS. OWN. BOOK. Sort of. Strap in for the wild ride that is Max Lord: Rebirth #1Justice League #12! A mama's boy runs into nobody's mama With the big fight over in JLVSS, this week,…
After mixing it up in Badhnisia, the League and the Squad found themselves frozen in place by a super-charged Killer Frost. That battle may be done, but as the good guys thaw and the bad guys rest, the really, really bad guys continue to pursue their designs against Waller and the world—leaving a trail of dead…
Batman is dead! A final showdown with the Joker in Endgame has left Gotham City without her greatest protector. But in a place where crazy new villains grow up like weeds, the powers that be must make their own symbol to stand against the evil sprouting in the shadows. What's included This volume contains Batman…
Stephanie Brown made it clear two weeks ago that she doesn't think Batman's war is making the world a better place, and this week, she did something about it in the pages of Detective Comics #947. I'm curious to know what the rest of you thought about the conclusion to "The Victim Syndicate." A number…
Battleground Badhnisia! Last week, the League and the Squad clashed on the shores of this small island nation, while Maxwell Lord and his band of sinister escapees did some evil plotting somewhere far off. The battle heats up (and cools down) in this week's Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #2. Now that everyone knows everyone, howzabout…
The Teen Titans are on the run! After a rough battle in the Birdcave, the team has flown the coop. Robin hopes to regroup and make a better showing next time, but the best solution may be far simpler—and far worse—than he had hoped. Major spoilers about the end of this issue ahead. More of…
He's baaaack! No doubt disappointed by the events of Death of the Family, the Joker returns to Gotham with a vengeance, determined to wreck Batman and his beloved city for good. Faced with his own mortality, and the seeming immortality of his greatest foe, the Dark Knight pulls out all the stops in the showdown…
After several (real-world) months of pursuing Bane and his pet Pirate, Batman at last confronted his Santa Priscan nemesis in a skull-and-nudity-filled showdown in Bane's throne room. But what of Cat and the I-Am-Suicide Squad? I won't spoil it for you here, but something happened. The long-awaited Justice League vs. Suicide Squad crossover debuted as…
We've followed DC's Big Three through dinner, farmland, and the big, cruel city. Lost loved ones and lost innocence added bitterness to the sweetness of reunion. The illusions of this journey began to crack in Gotham, and as the road leads on toward Themyscira and Diana's deepest longings, our heroes must work to discern the…
The Justice League got to the bottom of the mysterious hacks that had been wreaking havoc on their systems. But before anyone could start celebrating, a generous assortment of villains showed up to finish wrecking the day. How will the League overcome this multitude of mal-intenders? Find out in Justice League #11, as "Outbreak" concludes!…
The first major crossover event of the Rebirth era has arrived! As we saw at the end of the first Batman arc, the Dark Knight has plenty of justification for disliking Amanda Waller. And so when the League learns that the Wall's Task Force X is mixing it up in the island nation of Badhnisia, they rush…
For many fans, Batman: the Animated Series is the gold standard. Featuring excellent writing and the larger-than-life character aesthetics of Bruce Timm, the show proved that the Dark Knight could be serious without being sullen, and has had an influence on many interpretations of the Batman since. Kotobukiya's Batman Animated ARTFX+ statue is one of…
The New 52 run on Batman is best known for its big story arcs: Court of Owls, Death of the Family, Zero Year, Endgame, and Superheavy. These five stories (largely) carried the Dark Knight through five years and brought much critical acclaim. Yet, there are a number of smaller, simpler tales that found their way into the run. Some were…
The clash with General Zod came to a head this week in Suicide Squad, and the team may be the same. We also got a prelude for the upcoming Justice League vs Suicide Squad event—which is imminent!—in the backup. Detective's latest arc is finally starting to resonate (for some of us, at least), Red Hood is…
Previously in Detective Comics, Batman and his band of allies have been squaring off against the Victim Syndicate—a group of enhanced assailants who share an unfortunate categorization: they are, each of them, victims of the collateral damage caused by Batman's crusade. When we left off at the end of Detective Comics #945, the Syndicate had infiltrated the…
