This is the most expensive Batman-related comic media ever sold to date, beating out the previous…
It's been over a decade since Tim Drake has had a solo series of his own, but that all changes on September 27th. Writer Meghan Fitzmartin will continue the story she began in the pages of Batman: Urban Legends and DC Pride: Tim Drake Special with the all new series Tim Drake: Robin. Drawn by…
Future State: Gotham is having a bit of an identity crisis, and I'm not just talking about the multiple Batmans (Batmen?) running around. When the series started out, it was mainly focused on Red Hood - I mean Peacekeeper Red - taking down renegade vigilantes as part of Gotham's new police force. That was a…
On Monday night at the Guadalajara International Film Festival, HBO Max Latin America announced Batman Azteca: Choque de Imperios (Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires). Set in Mexico during the time of the Conquistadores, the Spanish-language animated film will focus heavily on Mesoamerican culture. In the time of the Aztec Empire, Yohualli Coatl – a young…
This series seems to have modeled itself as a cyberpunk detective thriller. The premise is built on Terry being left all on his own while the city itself is literally out to get him. With no one to turn to and no leads, he's stuck in the unenviable position of finding a way to take…
For its entirety, there have been two separate major plotlines that have been running through Batman Unburied. On the one hand you've had the psychological struggle of Bruce Wayne wrestling his personal demons through the lens of induced hallucination, and on the other you have the real world serial killer/heist plot. Initially, they were very…
In last week's review I started by saying that now that we knew what the villains' master plan was, it should be a straight shot to Batman stopping them and saving the day. Well the show decided to pull a last minute audible and throw a twist into who the real villain behind everything was.…
It's become cliché to point out how Batman's common refrain of "I work alone" is not really true at all. However, while Bruce has enough allies and adopted/biological sons to fill out about half of DC's publishing line, Catwoman herself has always genuinely been hesitant to work with or even trust others. Over time she's…
We're coming in on the final stretch of Batman Unburied, and finally starting to get a clear picture of what's going on. There are just a few dangling questions left before the heroes can wrap things up and save the day. Obviously, it's time to start answering those questions and bringing things to a close,…
So far every pair of episodes that released at the same time were tied together to tell a cohesive chapter in the story. Episodes 1 and 2 focused on the story in Bruce's mind, while episodes 3 and 4 showed what was going on outside as Barbara investigated Bruce's disappearance. Now we come to a…
The Eisner Awards have announced the nominees for the 34th Annual Eisner Awards. Leading the pack is Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's Nightwing, which has been nominated for Best Single Issue/One-Shot, Best Continuing Series, Best Penciller/Inker or Penciller/Inker Team (Bruno Redondo), Best Cover Artist (Bruno Redondo), and Best Lettering (West Abbott). A number of other…
Starting this August, DC will be releasing a series of 64-page one-shots, each featuring a different Batman villain. The series is called Batman – One Bad Day and will feature different creative teams on each project. Some of the titles see the return of veterans like Tom King and Mitch Gerads reuniting on the Riddler…
DC Comics announced that, as part of their One Bad Day series of Batman one-shots, Tom King will be writing The Riddler, a 64-page original graphic novel where Batman must get to the bottom of why Nygma suddenly decided to start killing people at random. Mitch Gerads, who has worked with King on many projects…
The big question that I had at the end of the last episode was how exactly the show was going to move forward now that it had established that the police procedural story is all in Bruce's head. Well it turns out the answer to that question is "with a different police procedural." This show…
Every issue of this series has been about Bruce developing a different skill in his journey to becoming Batman, and the lesson of the month in Batman: The Knight #5 is espionage. While keeping the same format for 5 issues so far (and presumably for the next 5 issues as well) does start to get…
Batman Unburied is not the kind of story I was expecting. When I heard that there would be a new Batman audio drama on Spotify, my assumption was that it would be a very standard superhero story structure, just spoken. Instead it turned out to be something more akin to a forensic police procedural. This…
Warner Bros. Montreal recently announced that they will not be releasing Gotham Knights for the Playstation 4 or Xbox One. This is sure to come as upsetting news to the many gamers who have not been able to acquire a next gen console. According to the the game's FAQ page: To provide players with the…
Warner Bros. Games Montreal has released a 13-minute gameplay demo giving players an in-depth look at what they can expect playing as Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. From the video we can see some of the differing playstyles based on the two characters. Nightwing's hand-to-hand combat is similar to the combat with Batman in the…
If I had use a word to describe this issue, it would be "padded." The story at the heart of the issue is genuinely enjoyable, but only about half of the pages are actually about that. A not insignificant amount of this issue is from other stories. Not just recapping, but lifting entire pages from…
Spotify's new original Podcast, Batman Unburied, has soared to the top of Spotify's Podcast chart. Only 3 days after its premier on May 3rd, it has managed to unseat Joe Rogan's popular yet controversial podcast. The English version of Batman Unburied stars Winston Duke as Bruce Wayne, a forensic pathologist working at Gotham Hospital where…
