19 on Seven Dark Nights: Metal one-shots announcedGearing up for Metal, DC Comics have revealed seven upcoming one-shot tie-ins to the Scott Snyder/Greg Capullo epic. Each issue will be handled by a different creative team, featuring some of the finest talent in the DC stable, and will focus on different corrupted aspects of Batman's personality. With names like Red Death and the…
Adam West may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. Indeed, the man was a legend of pop culture, and the definitive Batman for at least one generation. Tomorrow, June 15, the city of Los Angeles will pay tribute to the late Caped Crusader with a ceremonial lighting of the Batsignal. Check out all…
Batman. Christmas. Doggies. Kite-Man. What more could you ask for in a comic story? You'll find all of the above in Tom King and David Finch's short story "Good Boy." Originally published in last winter's Batman Annual, the story has been nominated for a well-deserved Eisner Award. To celebrate, the short has been made available to…
Time is short for our dear Detective Club members, both literally and figuratively. In reality, there are only two issues after this one before the series is over. It will be a bittersweet farewell for the students of Gotham Academy for sure, but after the events of this issue there may not even be a…
2017 has been a solid year for comic book movies so far, and two of the best examples of the genre have been The LEGO Batman Movie and Wonder Woman. The former is a celebration of everything Batman, and the latter may be the purest superhero movie in years. Truly, they're excellent films in their…
This one hurts. TV's Batman, Adam West, has passed away from leukemia at the age of 88, it's been reported. Originally appearing as the Caped Crusader alongside Burt Ward's Robin in the 1960s Batman television series, West had a long career on film and television. It's his performance as the straightfaced Batman in the tongue-in-cheek…
You really want to get my attention? Make a "Weird Al" reference. That man is the greatest musical genius of modern times. No joust, no arguments. The Titans, on the other hand... Well, they give it a fair shake. While watching a reality singing competition show thing on TV (where Raven is inexplicably a judge)…
Think back to November 2015. That was about 18 months ago. A year and a half. Feels like a lifetime, doesn't it? Think about all that's happened in those 18 months. Not just in the world, but in your personal life. That's a lot of time for a lot of changes. On the Batman/comic book/media…
Alright, let's talk about the very best thing on that cover. You know what it is without me having to even say anything. It's not that dynamic shot of Nightwing kicking Blockbuster in the face. It's not that couple in the background, one of whom is taking a picture with an awful bright flash. It's…
Be vewwy quiet. It's Bat season. In what is surely the weirdest crossover in quite some time, Looney Tunes' own Elmer Fudd will soon be making his way to Gotham to match wits with the Batman. That is insane, so of course I'm super pumped for this book. DC Comics have teased a few pages…
The only way out is through the Multiverse. Get in. Summer is here, and that means Metal is coming soon. Leading up to the long-awaited reunion of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, Snyder will be teaming up with 'Tec scribe James Tynion IV on the prelude titles Dark Days: The Forge and Dark Days: The…
What is more important: duty or justice? When should "what's right" supersede "the law"? At what point should you stop protecting an individual in order for justice to be served? These are incredibly heady, very difficult questions, and each is posed in Greg Rucka and J. G. Jones' Wonder Woman-The Hiketeia. Originally published in 2002,…
Ahhh, the fifth Wednesday of the month. Annuals season. It's a weird day as a comic book fan, because new material is still released but there isn't nearly as much of it. Considering DC has been double-shipping like crazy for the past year it's especially weird seeing only four new books released today. Funny enough,…
So Deathstroke, World's Greatest Assassin™, has super-speed now? That can't possibly be good. And possibly be good it is not, as we learn more about the Lazarus Contract, what it entails, and the lengths to which Slade will go to ensure he comes out on top in the bargain. If you've been waiting for this…
This is not the first time Batman '66 has entered the Seventies. No, the Caped Crusaders actually made a few appearances in the decade following their TV series, though they're programs that may be best forgotten. There was the short-lived 1977 animated series "The New Adventures of Batman" that, while somewhat charming, was cheaply animated…
This is a testament to how great this book is: even with a chapter that doesn't reach the highs of its predecessors, I still had more fun reading it than just about any other book out there. Such is the case with Super Sons #4, the first issue in the series that I wouldn't describe…
It's boy's night in Blüdhaven as Dick Grayson and Wally West take a night off and bro down. Given the difficulties the two have been through in their respective personal lives, what with girlfriends being kidnapped or completely forgetting they exist, the boys decide to just chill out and have a nice, relaxing evening sans…
Let's go for one final ride, dudes and dudettes. Yes, despite the threat of Mad Hatter being wrapped up in the previous issue, Matthew Manning and Jon Sommariva have one more story to tell. I'm ok with that, and if you're here, I'll take it you are too. Batman/TMNT Adventures #6 picks up an indeterminate…
Alfred Pennyworth. He's the trusted confidante, the father figure we all look up to, and the dear and loving friend that Batman needs. It almost comes as a shock when you remember that Alfred hasn't been part of the Batman story from the very beginning, debuting a full four years after Batman, but it's near…
Dick Grayson is a bastion of nobility and goodness in the DC Universe. I like to think of him as the perfect balance of Superman and Batman's best qualities: he has the human attainability of Bruce and the pure heart and trustworthiness of Clark. He's a hero who is looked up to by others, an…
