3 on Dear Justice League reviewAs fun as it is to read about the amazing feats of our favorite heroes, we can't help but have questions about them. Is Superman always super, or is he capable of messing up? Does Green Lantern feel constrained in his fashion choices by his limited color palette? Besides having wings, does Hawkgirl share other...…
You know, for a relatively light shipping week (it is a fifth Wednesday, after all), there was still a lot of Batman to talk about. Out of seven books DC shipped this past week, five were Batman or Batman-related. Crazy. Brian was on vacation this week too, so it’s just three of us in the…
Just looking at the creators involved, you'd think that Batman Secret Files #2 would be one of the best books of the year: you've got Mairghread Scott, Tim Seeley, Patrick Gleason, Andy Kubert, Carlos D'Anda, Steve Wands, John Workman, Eduardo Risso, Steve Orlando, Tom Napolitano, Dave Stewart, and on and on and on. That's quite…
As if you needed any convincing to pick it up, DC Comics have released a sweet animated trailer for Batman: Curse of the White Knight #1. But really, given that the preceding series Batman: White Knight was so positively received, there’s not a chance that you wont be picking up the first issue of Sean…
You know what I love most about reading collections of older Batman comics? Like, say, the old Brave and the Bold series or even material from the Grant/Moench/Davis/Breyfogle era? It's that, even though you could see a sense of progression over the course of each story, the stories themselves were remarkably standalone. You could flip…
Batman was inducted into the Comic-Con Museum’s Character Hall of Fame at San Diego Comic-Con, and it was a party, let me tell you. I was fortunate enough to attend the induction ceremony, where the Museum had tons of great Batman items on display. From film props and costumes to playable video games to not…
DC Comics are returning to the world of Red Rain this October, as the vampire Batman returns in their newest spooky 80-Page Giant. This year’s anthology of terror is titled Secrets of Sinister House, and it boasts stories from talent like Paul Dini, Jorge Fornes, Rafael Albuquerque, Bryan Hill, and many, many more. Check out…
I sat in on the Batman Beyond 20th anniversary celebration at Comic-Con today, and it was quite a delight. Stars Kevin Conroy and Will Friedle were there, along with legendary voice director Andrea Romano, writers Alan Berkowitz and Bob Goodman, director James Tucker, and Bruce Timm. They told a bunch of stories about the series,…
Last night, Batman officially became the first inductee into the Comic-Con Museum Character Hall of Fame, and man was it a party. I had the privilege to attend the ceremony, and there was great food, cool guests (I met Batman!), and tons of amazing Batman paraphernalia on display. There were props and costumes from the…
Another huge Batman announcement? Don’t mind if we do, and don’t be surprised if this isn’t the last one this week either. Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch are reuniting later this year for a brand new 12-issue Batman maxiseries titled The Batman’s Grave. The series picks up right after Ellis’ Legends of the Dark Knight…
In DC Comics’ hit event Metal-- from Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, of course-- the idea of a “Dark Multiverse” that manifests all of our fears and darkest desires was an interesting twist on the established Multiverse concept of the DC Universe. We got to see some of it in play, particularly with the Dark…
Have you been reading Gideon Falls? If not, you should be, as it’s one of the best ongoing books on the stands right now. If you have been reading that book, you know how great Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino are as a creative team. So the fact that they’re collaborating on a new Joker…
Detective Comics #1006 was one of the best Batman comics I've read this year, a supernatural mystery with timeless artwork that had a stunning, moody aesthetic. I loved the writing, I loved the mystery, and yes, I absolutely adored Kyle Hotz's pencils and David Baron's colors. It was a comic that could have worked no…
There's just something about a good old rollicking adventure. That's part of the appeal of movies like The Treasure of the Sierra Madre or Raiders of the Lost Ark, with their high-stakes chases, exotic locations, stalwart heroes, and conniving villains. Rather than trying to say something about the human condition or exploring the psyche of…
We’ve reached the halfway point of Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, and what a ride it’s been. This story is just barreling along, with a pace that’s surprisingly fast considering how potentially big it could get. A lot of that comes from the crazy mashups and surprising characters who’ve made appearances, both of which cover…
2019 is a big year for Batman. It's his 80th anniversary as a character in general, as he first appeared in Detective Comics #27 way back in 1939. That same title reached a thousand issues just a few months ago, and has been going strong ever since. Batman's even celebrating a film anniversary this year,…
If a cover alone made the purchase of a comic worth it, then Detective Comics #1006 would certainly apply. Just look at the composition of that amazing cover: the Spectre, looming large against the Gotham City skyline, the Batsignal projected on his chest, and Batman himself below, on his guard against the physical embodiment of…
It's Friday, so it's that time again, friends: time for This Week in Comics. While we cover plenty of books here at Batman News, we like to discuss those books with each other too. Plus, with weekly reviews, you may get an idea of what, say, Brian thought of Justice League, but... what about Casper? …
I think that we can rightly say that Stjepan Šejić is a rising star in the comics industry. His work on Aquaman with Dan Abnett was just wonderful, and any time his name pops up on a title I certainly take notice. This fall, Šejić will flex his creative muscles as both writer and artist…
There’s something to be said about an issue of a comic book that’s practically non-stop forward momentum. It knows where it needs to go and how to get there, hardly slowing down at any point to break the pace. Such is the case with Detective Comics #1005, the conclusion of the “Medieval” arc. But just…
