10 on Batman: The Dark Prince Charming graphic novel series coming this NovemberThis November, DC Comics will release the first installment of a two-part Batman story from Enrico Marini. The fact that it's two graphic novels instead of a multi-part miniseries is a nice break from the norm, allowing for more longform storytelling. Whether this is part of an approach that DC will be taking for other…
I've said it many, many times before, and it bears repeating: the 1960s Batman television show is experiencing a well-deserved renaissance. With books, movies, and other memorabilia coming out to celebrate the landmark show, there's something out there for every fan of the zany adventures of Adam West and Burt Ward's Caped Crusaders to enjoy. …
The Titans have faced numerous threats: entire teams of supervillains, creatures from the underworld, and traitors among their ranks. So when the Justice League comes calling, you know they're going to answer. And what is it that is too difficult for even the League to surmount? Baby... sitting? D'awwwwwwwwww. He's got a widdle-biddy spit-curl and…
This October, Batman becomes a bad guy. Sean Gordon Murphy, illustrator of The Wake, will helm a miniseries that puts a twist on the Batman mythos: Batman is the villain and the Joker is the hero. After being cured of his madness, Joker makes it his mission to take down the Batman, using social issues…
Batman is riding on a dinosaur. For some of you, that will be enough and you've already pre-ordered your copies of Metal. As promised, this series is looking absolutely bonkers in the best possible ways. For anyone else, there's more to this preview than just the (awesome) image of Batman on a T-Rex. As Scott Snyder…
The bad girls of Gotham will meet the good girls of Riverdale in October's Harley & Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica. It was simply a matter of time, too, as these are two of the hottest comics properties around these days: Harley's one of the most popular characters in DC's roster, and the entire line…
Well this is exciting. The upcoming direct-to-video animated feature Batman and Harley Quinn is getting a digital-first prequel comic. Thats all well and good, but the real surprise is in the creative talent tapped for the story: none other than Ty Templeton and Rick Burchett. The duo are veterans of the animated-style Batman, having been…
Imagine if you will a story told in two parts. One deals with some domestic issues among a few supporting characters, a largely dialogue-driven affair that takes place within the office of a community center. The writing is engrossing, thanks in no small part due to the fact that you care about these people. We…
In this installment of Back Issue Review, we're taking a look at an issue of one of the most underappreciated comic series of the past few decades: Superman Adventures. Based on the Superman cartoon from the 90s, this series was similar to the comparable Batman series in that it told some of the best stories…
If you can't tell, we're pretty big fans of LEGO around here at Batman News. The LEGO Batman Movie was a work of sheer genius, for one thing, and the toys themselves are always a blast to construct and play with. With Justice League coming this November, that means we'll be getting a chance to play…
One of the most important aspects of Batman Beyond is that of legacy. What is Bruce's legacy? Is it a failed mission as Batman? After all, there is still just as much crime in Gotham as ever, and he'd been long-forgotten by the time we enter the story. Or is Terry his legacy? Does it…
Now we reach the end of the road for Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman '77. This is the first issue of the series released after the sudden death of Adam West, and his loss still stings. We'll always have his work to remember him by, though, and his legacy lives on even now in comic…
He sits at his table, alone. From upon the elevated platform, Tom King scans the crowd. Everyone is enraptured, listening to the writer talk about his craft. He scratches his face, his stubble as short as the time it took for him to rocket to stardom. Reaching for a bottle, he takes a drink. Long, slow.…
It's time to get vewy excited, as Batman and Elmer Fudd will soon cross paths. These DC/Looney Tunes crossovers have been pretty fun so far, but needless to say this is the one I've been looking forward to the most. Written by Batman scribe Tom King and illustrated by the inimitable Lee Weeks, Batman/Elmer Fudd Special…
Oh Dick, don't you know better than to make a deal with the devil? I suppose not, because if he did this would be one short story arc. "Blockbuster" continues this week with Roland Desmond, the titular villain, making Dick an offer to take down the gangster Tiger Shark that the former Boy Wonder begrudgingly…
Let's talk about Alfred referring to Bruce as his "son." Fitting, as it's literally the very first line of dialogue here. I've seen a lot of complaints about it, saying that it's too one the nose and a case of bludgeoning the reader over the read with a point to drive it home. I can…
Imagine this: you're the son of Batman, gifted with the opportunity to be his crime-fighting partner Robin. You're smart, cunning, and resourceful, and you have access to some of the coolest gadgets money can (or even can't) buy. Plus, you know, I'll repeat: your dad is Batman. Or imagine that you're the son of Superman. …
There are a lot of great card games out there. There are also lots of great Batman products out there. Combining the two seems like a no-brainer, right? The good folks at Looney Labs have done just that, taking their in-house game Fluxx and, by partnering with our friends at Cryptozoic Entertainment, fusing it with…
We took our first steps toward Metal with this week's Dark Days: The Forge, and already DC has released some preview pages for the next chapter. With Dark Days: The Casting, it's looking like Snyder, Tynion IV, Lee, Kubert, and Romita, Jr. are doubling-down in the insanity. I mean, how do you follow Batman punching…
In a shocking bit of news, Scott Snyder has revealed that All-Star Batman will be ending as a monthly title after issue 14. Speaking with Comic Book Resources, Snyder confirms that while the title is ending as a monthly, the stories he planned to tell with artists like Paul Pope and Sean Gordon Murphy are…
