6 on Injustice 2 #29 reviewOver the course of Injustice, so many characters I love have been killed that it may as well be called Let's Murder Everyone Jay Likes. Seriously: Dick Grayson, Ted Kord, Animal Man, Tim Drake, every Green Lantern that I actually like. So many deaths, guys. But the narrative is compelling and the writing is strong,…
San Diego Comic-Con is almost upon us, and you know what that means: more comic, movie, and merchandise announcements than you know what to do with. While we're still a few weeks away from Comic-Con, the good people over at LEGO have provided Batman News with an exclusive first look at one of their new…
Nightwing: former Boy Wonder. Batgirl: the Dominoed Daredoll. Individually they're two of the most beloved characters in the entire DC Universe. Together, they're either the ideal couple or friends who really shouldn't be anything more than that. It all depends on who you ask, really. Besides their "will they/won't they" romantic dynamic, though, they're both…
With last year’s announcement that longtime Marvel creator Brian Michael Bendis has signed an exclusive contract with DC Comics, it was just a matter of time until he took a crack at the Dark Knight. He’s already dipped his toe in the water by giving the Caped Crusader a cameo in The Man of Steel,…
It’s the wedding of the century: Batman and Catwoman are getting married. Almost eighty years in the making, the two lovebirds will finally tie the knot on July 4th... or will they? Time will tell, of course, as the nuptials play out in the supersized Batman #50, written by Tom King and illustrated by everyone…
Sam Kieth essentially made his name as one of the original artists on Neil Gaiman’s magnum opus The Sandman. While that would be enough to win comic book pedigree for life, he also became synonymous with the indie-comics boom of the 90s thanks to his creation The Maxx. Possessing one of the weirdest-yet-oddly-appealing character designs…
A few months ago, DC Comics announced a brand new publishing imprint that will focus on more mature, creator-driven storytelling. Naturally, Batman will be a big part of that, with several new titles revealed as part of the launch. Today, DC have revealed some new release details for a few of the Black Label books,…
Here's the thing about The Man of Steel: it's good. Oftentimes, it's very good. Brian Michael Bendis' work with Superman is enjoyable, and while he's made quite a few changes to the status quo (some of which are still a mystery, even as of this week), he seems to have a good handle on the…
In today's surprising announcement that Geoff Johns will launch his own production company and shift his focus to film and television work, it was also revealed that DC's Co-Publisher Jim Lee has been named the company's new Chief Creative Officer. Lee, of course, has been a legendary comics illustrator for decades, lending his talents to…
Have I mentioned that Sam Humphries is a delight? Because it absolutely bears repeating. The writer has been making his mark across DC Comics over the past few years, from launching the excellent Green Lanterns title to helming a great run on Nightwing, and even teaming up Bugs Bunny with the Legion of Super-Heroes. We’ve…
It's amazing how the simplest concepts can result in the funniest of stories. That's the case with the newest installment of Teen Titans Go!, which isn't quite a top-tier narrative but it has more than its share of laughs. And really, what more do you need? The basic plot: the Titans barge in on Robin…
There are good things, even very good things about Deathstroke. The writing is consistently confident, and the visual aesthetic is pleasing and dynamic. Truly, this is a good looking book, a visual feast even when the narrative is indecipherable. Yet that right there is the main problem I have: this book can get so convoluted…
I suppose we can't have it both ways with this series. Last issue, I felt like the narrative came to a relative dead stop, as the story flashed backward to give us an origin for the new Rorschach. It wasn't entirely unwelcome, and taken in its own context it was a gripping read, but it…
The Super Sons/Dynomutt and Blue Falcon Special here is in kind of a weird place. When it was announced a few months back that the Super Sons title had been canceled, yet they would be featured in this one-shot, it felt like the special would be a nice treat after such upsetting news. To that…
And so, all good things must come to an end. Not even our beloved Super Sons are immune to change, as their eponymous series reaches its end with its sixteenth issue. With that, we say goodbye to Robin, Damian, and their Fortress of Attitude. At least until they return in a few months, but whatever. …
When you think of Batman artists, there are some names that will immediately come to mind: Jim Aparo, Norm Breyfogle, Dick Sprang, Mike Parobeck, Neal Adams, Greg Capullo, Graham Nolan, and most recently Joëlle Jones are just a few. The Dark Knight has been drawn by some of the best artists in the business, each…
Do you remember how great it was when Batman met Elmer Fudd? If you don't, go back and read it because it was amazing. Tom King and Lee Weeks told a story that was equal parts crime noir and tongue-in-cheek farce and it worked beautifully. Today, DC Comics have announced a new line of DC/Looney…
There's some credence and legitimacy to the old adage "never judge a book by its cover." After all, a cover can hardly encapsulate the plot, themes, and tone of most any work it represents. A cover may be misleading in its simplicity, or it may be purposefully ironic to bait the reader. The sum of…
We are truly living in a Golden Age of cinema. Superhero cinema, in particular. After all, it seems like there's scarcely a comic book character or franchise that won't eventually make it to the screen, no matter how goofy or obscure. Remember, we live in a world where Ant-Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy…
It's early, but we've already reached the point in "Deathstroke vs. Batman" where I'm starting to lose interest. It's a shame, too, as the debut issue was surprisingly engrossing and had lots of promise. While I can't quite put my finger on what caused the story to lose steam so quickly, I do know that…
