18 on The Killing Joke, Mad Love, and Court of Owls are getting novelizationsHave you ever read something that you loved so much that you wished you could read it again for the first time? Well, thanks to a new collaboration between DC Comics and Titan Books, you just might get your chance. The publishers are coming together to release a new line of novelizations based on some…
The Justice League of America are stranded at the dawn of time, and the god of superheroes lies slain at their feet. Can they defeat Chronos and ensure the continued existence of heroism on Earth? Considering there will still be comics coming out of DC's publishing house as soon as next week, I think it's…
The story comes full circle for the Super Sons as Kid Amazo is back on the scene. The boys' first real foe has broken free from his imprisonment at LexCorp and sets his sights on amassing more and more power. Pretty basic plot, and it works well enough. Per usual, though, the real draw here…
I know what happens in Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II #6, but I couldn't really tell you the sequence of events. There are notable things that stick out here and there, yet the structure completely escapes me. The finale plays out more like a montage of events than an actual narrative, which keeps even the…
We're really, really excited about this one. Action Comics has reached issue 1000. That is insane. DC Comics have been preparing for this for quite a while now, releasing teasers, variant covers, and sneak previews. We here at Batman News have been just as excited for it, doing a little personal writing of our own…
The Batman of the Injustice universe can always use allies in his war with Superman. This summer, the Dark Knight may just have the power to take down his former ally and friend as he finds help in an... unlikely place: the citizens of Eternia. Yes, Batman will be teaming up with He-Man. Finally, all…
After the events of Dark Nights: Metal, everything in the DC Universe is just going to get crazier. The Source Wall is broken, new heroes are appearing, and Atlantis itself is destined to rise from the sea. Spinning right out of the finale of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's mega-hit, the upcoming No Justice miniseries from…
Grab your towel, snorkel, and sunscreen, because we're having us a day at the beach. DC Comics have just announced the upcoming 80-page one-shot DC Beach Blanket Bad Guys Special #1, featuring stories from the likes of talent like Paul Dini, Shea Fontana, and Gabriel Hardman. It's nice to see DC shining the spotlight on a…
Imagine you're a kid again. Nine, maybe ten years old. You and your best friends are in the back yard, playing with your sweet Justice League of America action figures. Mostly the good guys, of course, because who wants the villains? After you guys stop fighting over who gets to be Batman, you start coming…
Ralph Woolsey, cinematographer for the 1966 Batman television series, has died. The Emmy-winning cinematographer's career began all the way back in the 1940s and lasted until 1980, and during that time he shot several acclaimed films and television shows. As a part of the crew on the legendary Adam West and Burt Ward Batman series,…
It's been a big weekend for conventions, what with both Fan Expo Dallas and C2E2 going on concurrently. Possibly the biggest news to come out of either event, at least as of this time, is the announcement that Joëlle Jones will headline a new Catwoman title. Spinning directly out of Batman #50, the series will see…
Look, comedy is incredibly subjective. One person may laugh uncontrollably at a joke while another is left wondering why anybody would find it even remotely funny. Not every joke will make everyone laugh, but every joke is bound to make someone laugh. I did not laugh very much at this comic. Which is a shame,…
This was a surprise. Not to slight the concept, but when a "Deathstroke vs. Batman" series was announced I thought it was going to be much more straightforward than the end product here. Even with Christopher Priest at the helm, a man who has effectively made a career out of subverting expectations in how stories…
Sam Humphries, DC Comics superstar writer and all-around hilarious human being, has had a good run of things lately. As the guiding voice behind the first year of Green Lanterns, and fresh off a solid run on Nightwing, Humphries is poised to join the top tier of talent at DC. While the revelation that his…
There are scenes in this week's Justice League of America that have some of the most visually engaging artwork I've seen on this title to date. Using repeated panels to evoke a sense of deja vu and some nifty clockwork backgrounds, there's a sense of... let's call it poetry, as the Justice League of America…
Maybe this is on me, but I just was not engaged. It's strange to say that, because I've enjoyed reading Doomsday Clock so far. More than that, I enjoy writing about it, because it feels like it's about something. It's similar to why I love Mister Miracle: while that series is firmly, unashamedly rooted in…
Fresh from the first ever livestream of DC Comics' Publishers Panel at WonderCon in Anaheim, it's been revealed that two brand new Justice League titles will drop this summer. Spinning out of the upcoming No Justice miniseries, the titles will include a relaunch of Justice League Dark and the new title Justice League Odyssey. And…
Earlier today it was announced that Frank Miller has signed an exclusive five-book deal with DC Comics. In addition to the upcoming Superman: Year One, Miller will also be writing an original graphic novel based on Carrie Kelley, the Robin from his classic story The Dark Knight Returns. The untitled project will feature pencils from…
You want to know how fun Super Sons can be when it delivers? This issue feels like it was supposed to be the second part of a longer arc that was ultimately truncated into a two-parter, yet even then the writing is so charming it's still a satisfying experience. Now, I'll be the first to…
I'm not going to lie: I kind of dug this issue, but I'm having a really hard time remembering anything that happened. It moves along at a fairly brisk pace (aside from a page or two that are loaded with dialogue), and the broad strokes of the events stick out, but I don't really remember…
