Home Entertainments long-running slate of original DC Comics films, will hit digital release next Tuesday, March 27.

It's been rumored and hinted at, and now it's official: Jim Cheung and Jorge Jimenez are the new pencilers for Scott Snyder's upcoming Justice League run. Cheung has been making a name for himself over at Marvel recently, so seeing him sign on to a flagship DC title is a welcome surprise, and Jimenez is…
At long last, Batman '66 has returned. After being nearly absent from the comic stands and news since last July's team-up with the Legion of Super-Heroes, the next appearance of everyone's favorite Caped Crusader has finally been revealed, and it couldn't be more perfect: Batman is going to meet Archie. While plot details are scarce,…
There have been all sorts of creative shakeups at DC Comics lately, with new teams being announced for different books almost daily. The highest profile revelations have been Bendis on the core Superman books and Scott Snyder on Justice League, but another change has almost flown under the radar: namely, James Tynion IV will end…
This July, Batman and Catwoman will finally tie the knot in the long-awaited Batman #50. It's been an event a long time in the making, from their first meeting back in the original Batman #1 from 1940 all the way up to the proposal in last June's Batman #24. The past several months have seen…
DC Comics have been rolling out some changes over the past few months, including new creative teams, titles, and directions for different characters. One of the most shocking and even upsetting of those announcements has been the cancellation of Super Sons. While series writer Peter J. Tomasi promises that it's not due to low sales,…
The saga of Angor comes to a close in the final chapter of "New Life and Death," which surprisingly ends up being one of the more satisfying installments of Justice League of America in some time. I say "surprisingly" because I haven't been invested in this story, but I still found myself moved by the…
DC Comics have been all about the publishing imprints lately. They've revived Vertigo, promised new Jinxworld stories from Brian Michael Bendis, and are even launching an entire line of books based on Neil Gaiman's Sandman universe. This morning, in an exclusive with The Hollywood Reporter, they've announced another brand new publishing imprint: Black Label. The…
A new familiar face comes to Teen Titans Go! as the group go in for annual health and wellness check-ups. Writer Matthew Manning makes a pretty strong debut on the title with a story that is both hilarious and all too real. When Robin is more obnoxiously full of himself than usual, he reveals that…
So, I think it's been fairly well established that I'm down with weird. The crazier the better. A detective chimp named Detective Chimp? Sold. Supermen from across the ages fighting a monster that eats time itself? Amazing. Cave Carson vomiting up Swamp Thing and also sending out his cybernetic eye to hide a bunch of…
Now that the threat of the Might Beyond the Mirror has been taken care of, the Justice League of America are ready for a new day and a new mission. Batman's back, Aztek may finally have a spot on the team, and... that's about it. There isn't much that happens that's particularly exciting. A shame,…
In cinema, Batman has always been subject to change. There have been many different interpretations of the character, ranging from Tim Burton's macabre take to the pop-camp of Joel Schumacher to the grounded realism of Christopher Nolan. There is always something new that can be attempted with the character. Even spanning formats, Batman has had…
It's been a pretty busy year for our Super Sons. Their series kicked off last year with one of the strongest debut issues in recent memory, thanks in no small part to the superstar team of Peter Tomasi and Jorge Jimenez. The title has mellowed out a bit over the course of the year, with…
What a weird ride this series has been: it started off pretty lackluster, turned things around in its second issue, and then hit what I can only hope is its nadir at the halfway point last month. To say that the second team-up between Batman and the Ninja Turtles has been inconsistent wouldn't be too…
Nightwing will face off against a villain for the digital age this May, as Benjamin Percy takes over writing duties on the title. Beginning in issue #44, coming this May, the superstar writer will take Nightwing in a new direction in "The Bleeding Edge." Percy, who has received great acclaim with his runs on Green…
We like comics. Do you like comics? I bet you do. We also like talking comics, so Brian and I have decided to start up our own podcast: Comics Now. We'll discuss anything and everything comics related, from current releases, classic runs, and news from the industry at large. Join us as we discuss our…
It's that time of year again: Toy Fair is this weekend, going from February 17-20. The annual convention, held in New York City, is one of the year's biggest showcases of new and upcoming products, and 2018 looks to be no different. DC Collectibles have quite a few offerings on display in particular, and they've…
Zoinks and outrageous, chums! Batman is back with his hammers of justice, and this time he's teamed up with those groovy teens of Mystery, Inc. to solve the one unsolved mystery that has haunted the Caped Crusader for years. After airing its final episode over six years ago, the announcement that The Brave and the…
I'll give it this: the "Deadly Fable" arc has had some interesting ideas. Ideas are nothing without execution, though, which is actually pretty ironic given the events of this issue. But we'll get to the whys and the hows in a bit. This issue of Justice League of America is the culmination of events that…
Swamp Thing rules. I don't know the exact reasons why, but I love this guy. Sure, Swamp Thing is a great, great character, but what is it about him that's so appealing? Is it the cool character design? The deep, rich mythology? The fairly silly name that belies one of the most compelling and sympathetic…
