22 on Batman vs. Two-Face reviewNever did I think that a Sixties Batman-inspired cartoon would nearly bring me to tears, but here we are. Last year's Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders was a runaway success. It was more Batman, which is always welcome, and proof that even the silliness of the Sixties television series has a place in the…
Batman always works alone... except for those times that he doesn't. This is one of those times. Immediately after another one of those times. Point being, Batman is often portrayed as a dark, grim loner who doesn't get along with people. Dark? Sure. Grim? When he needs to be. Loner? Considering Robin debuted less than…
It was only a matter of time, I suppose. IGN is reporting that the massively popular Telltale Games Batman series will get a tie-in comic this February. Written by Christos Gage and illustrated by Raffaele Ienco, the digital-first six issue miniseries will detail the events between chapters one and two of the video game. Speaking with…
Scott Free is on trial. Yet how can you rely on the testimony of a man who isn't sure who he is? Scott Free, as he says, is a name Granny Goodness gave him when he would try and escape. It's a taunt, a mockery of his natural skills, and not his real name. Nor…
I... really don't know what to do with this one. On the one hand, it's a holiday season story that focuses on Chanukah, which is interesting. You don't get too many of those, so seeing our Jewish friends have representation is a welcome change of pace. On the other hand, something here just doesn't sit…
Dick Grayson and Raptor go head to head in a battle of wits and words in Nightwing #32, trading rooftops for the glitz and glamour of a casino. This is a dialogue-heavy issue of Nightwing, dealing more with the histories and relationships between characters than in fights and action. Given Seeley's knack for writing dialogue,…
Oh man. Oh man, where to start with this one? I know: let's rewind the clock to around 1970. The Batman television series, which revitalized public interest in the character, has been off the air for a few years, and "Batmania" has cooled. The show was successful enough that, along with the editorial gaze of…
Outrageous! After a six year hiatus, the beloved Batman: The Brave and the Bold is coming back. Originally airing on Cartoon Network, the fan-favorite show aired its final episode in 2011, leaving a hole in our Batman cartoon schedules. The show, which saw Batman teaming up with various DC heroes like Green Arrow, Plastic Man,…
It's Halloween, so what better time is there to read some spoooOOOoooky Batman stories? And really, when else should you read about a guy who dresses up like a vampire bat and then literally becomes one? Such is the concept behind the second Elseworlds: Batman volume. Collecting the Batman/Dracula trilogy of Red Rain, Bloodstorm, and…
Cue up the shredding guitars, the double-kick drums, and the poorly-mixed bass: we've got us a Metal crossover. Those Dark Knights of the Dark Multiverse have come and set their sights on the Justice League, and the only way they can be stopped is a Smackdown. So yes, this issue of The Flash kicks off…
Alright, Kyle Higgins. Now you have my attention. After a shaky debut and second issue, Nightwing: The New Order is finding its footing and becoming a truly compelling work. It's crazy what a simple change in concept and direction can do. Now, that's not to say this installment of the miniseries is too far removed…
A few weeks ago, a new Metal interlude was announced: Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt. If you're drawing a blank, it was the one starring Detective Chimp. Sounds awesome. In some delightfully surprising news, Scott Snyder just announced via Twitter that he'll be writing it with none other than Grant Morrison. Metal has a…
With Justice League hitting theaters next month, the marketing and promotional materials are kicking into high gear. Toys, commercials, snack items, all sorts of goodness to get you pumped about the League's first outing on the big screen. Today, Warner Bros. and DC Comics have announced a brand new, six-issue comic series tying into the…

Remember Goodnight Batcave, that Batman-inspired loving riff on the beloved children's book Goodnight Moon? Well the idiots (as they call themselves) over at MAD Magazine are back with a brand new parody starring another of DC's classic heroes: Superman and the Miserable, Rotten, No Fun, Really Bad Day. This time, the book is based off…
This is the second issue in a row with a pretty misleading cover. Last issue made it look like Raptor and Blockbuster were going to team up to take out Nightwing, which... didn't happen. This one is a little more vague, but it still looks like Orca makes a return which... also doesn't happen. Ah…
The boys complete their first intergalactic/dimensional mission as "Planet of the Capes" draws to a close. This is the second big arc on the title and, while it still has its charms, there is a bit of wear showing. It disheartens me to say it, but Super Sons feels like it's slipping. Looking at the…

DC Collectibles, those professional purveyors of playthings and presentation pieces, have announced some new releases for 2018. Unsurprisingly, there's some great stuff coming. In their press release, DC revealed plans for a Jae Lee-inspired Harley Quinn piece, some pretty cute "Artist Alley" vinyl figures, and a friggin' rad Metal statue. Two battle-axes, guys. Two. The…

Tim Drake, meet Tim Drake. Over the past year, Tim Drake's absence has loomed large since being abducted way back in Detective Comics #940. Thinking their ally dead, Batman and his extended family have had to work through the grief felt after losing a loved one. In his absence, Tim has played a part in the…
