1 on Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League movie announcedWarner Bros. Japan recently announced that a Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League animated film is in development. We don't yet have a release date, but we do know many of the production leads from the original Batman Ninja movie will be returning. It will be directed by Jumpei Mizusaki and Shinji Takagi, with screenplay by…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I was finally able to publish my Batsuit history article this week! You should check it out if you haven't. It was a lot of fun doing all the research and tracking down as many suit variations as I could (even though I'm sure I still missed some). I have…
Inarguably one of the most iconic superhero costumes ever created, Batman's suit has certainly seen its share of iterations over the years. From purple gloves to rainbows to mech suits, Batman's outfit has managed to change with the times while still retaining the core elements that make it so memorable. So let's take a look…
Change is something you very rarely see in superhero comics. It's a baked in assumption that there's a certain status quo that needs to be maintained for a rotating cast of writers to build around. Unlike creator-owned comics that tell a singular story, superheroes are more of an idea (or brand if you're feeling cynical)…
Batman: The Long Halloween is one of the most well-known, celebrated, and influential Batman comics of all time. Written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated by the late Tim Sale, it debuted as a 13-issue limited series in 1996. Telling the story of how District Attorney Harvey Dent became the infamous Two-Face amidst a string a…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! One of my favorite things to do as a Batman fan is to find hidden gems in the backlog. Beneath all the bombastic events and superstar runs, there are often lesser known stories and runs that are criminally underlooked. Thanks to a comment left by user Madeleine a couple months…
The fight continues as imps run wild across the world. Just as last time, most of this issue is comprised of big spectacle fights that showcase the crazy powers and abilities granted by the fifth-dimensional invaders. The story immediately and clearly establishes the tone it's going for with its first page, where Bat-Mite recreates the…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! You know, writing articles for this site can be a ton of fun. I had a blast with my Morrison pieces and they just generally give us an opportunity to talk about stuff we care about. However, sometimes they're filled with the minutiae that make the process feel stupid. For…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! A lot of big news has come out this past week, huh? From previews of upcoming shows like My Adventures with Superman and Batman: Caped Crusader to movies like Crisis on Infinite Earth Part Three and of course Superman. Hopefully this all spells good news for DC media in the…
After 13 years, the Gotham City Sirens are back! For a little while, that is at least. The original Gotham City Sirens was created by Paul Dini in 2009 and quickly became a cult classic, though ended when DC's titles were rebooted in 2011 with the New 52. Now, this August, the ongoing comics of Harley…
A Batman: Caped Crusader first look has been released that provides new images and information about the upcoming series. In an interview with an interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Bruce Timm and character creator James Tucker provided first looks at the new character designs as well as some of their inspirations for the changes they…
It's starting to feel like the beginning of the end. This Zur-En-Arrh saga which has been going since the beginning of Zdarsky's run back in 2022 seems to be preparing for its grand finale. The stakes are building, the antagonists are preparing to make their final moves, and the core themes of what this was…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's yet another week where the bat books dwarf anything else DC is putting out. I guess I shouldn't complain about job security, plus who could deny the people such demanded comics like... the tie-in to a failed video game? Uh, sure, let's go with that. Wait, don't go! I…
Meta, Facebook's parent company and maker of the Quest headset, just released a trailer for its upcoming game, Batman: Arkham Shadow. Developed exclusively for the Meta Quest 3 headset, this new entry looks to be the next chapter in the wildly popular Batman: Arkham game franchise. However, unlike the series' trilogy and Batman: Arkham VR…
I've spent a good many words talking about all the ways that Morrison radically changed the status quo and even what a Batman comic could be. By the time of Batman Incorporated, Bruce had confronted his innermost psyche, "died", travelled through time, come back to life, taken on his long lost son as the new…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's a fifth Tuesday of the month, which means it's all annuals and specials this week. Since we're light on content, I'm going to take this as one last opportunity to plug my Morrison Batman series. It's been a lot of work researching and writing all these up, but it's…
Batman has been gone for a long time, and Gotham has suffered in his absence. Well before his "execution", Batman's mind had been the victim of psychological attacks, leaving him helpless to stop the Orghams' slow infiltration of the city's power structures. Now he's back and ready to retake Gotham. At the dawn of Ram…
If Morrison's Batman has one lasting legacy, it has to be Damian Wayne. When he first came into the series, it was a major shakeup to the status quo, and a lot of people were not happy. Here was this petulant, entitled, brat of child who claimed to be Batman's long lost son. In the…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Well it finally looks like we have a better idea of what Absolute Power will be. Aside from the fact that most of the Justice League (sorry, I think we're still supposed to pretend that lineup isn't the Justice League) loses their powers and gets some new armor-y costumes, it…
Absolute Power is almost here. This Summer's blockbuster event will see Amanda Waller launch the final stage of her plan two years in the making. Teaming up with Failsafe and the Brainiac Queen, she plans to rid the world of metahumans once and for all by taking their powers away. Kicking off on May 4th…
