0 on Ranking the Best and Worst of Animated Batman Movie Action Figure LinesIn discussions about the greatest Batman films of all time, most moviegoers would probably name Batman, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Batman as some of the strongest contenders for the top spot. With good reason, as they are all good to great in their own ways. There are two movies that are often…
Regardless of your feelings about the movie itself, there's no denying that 1989's Batman was a phenomenon. It spawned an entire "Batmania" movement in popular culture, with toys, video and board games, comics, apparel, and all sorts of merchandise appearing everywhere that summer. It changed movies, comic books, and even the character of Batman forever.…
In a surprising bit of news, DC Comics have announced that the long-dormant Elseworlds imprint will make a comeback next year with several waves of new, out of continuity titles. Elseworlds, for those unaware, was a line of comics where creators could take familiar characters and put a brand new spin on them. And not…
We're sad to hear and report that prolific writer, artist, and all-around comics legend Keith Giffen has died. The initial announcement was posted to his Facebook page on the evening of October 11, with a dry and morbidly comical update that fit Giffen's well-known sense of humor: <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ftherealgiffen%2Fposts%2Fpfbid04VAbycyEFFEkpHTajoLmQ2FgeNTpQs9NihDx6VGZiX1Da7VHXyR6Ea8Yh8uY46Jml&show_text=true&width=500" width="500" height="200" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"…
I don't know about you, but I'm having a blast looking at all of these old Batman toys from years past. This week we're headed back to 1992 for what might be the most divisive Batman movie, Batman Returns. Granted, there are better Batman movies, and there are worse Batman movies, but this one film…
Last year, an audition tape Barry Keoghan made in the hopes of playing the Riddler in Matt Reeves' The Batman was released, and now Keoghan has some more to say about it. In a profile with Esquire magazine, Keoghan reveals that he spent a measly $10 at a costume shop to purchase a cane and…
In a bit of upsetting news, the release for the highly-anticipated collection Batman: Arkham Trilogy for the Nintendo Switch has been pushed back. The game will now release on December 1, 2023, so while it's just a few months delay, it's still a bummer for anyone waiting to play these classic games all in one…
Welcome back to what is turning into a recurring column, wherein I look at Batman toys from yesteryear and judge them (almost) solely on pictures I find on the internet. There's hardly a character out there with more action figures based on them than the Dark Knight himself, so there's plenty of toyetic goodness to…
One of the best things about getting a new Batman movie is all of the cool new toys, collectibles, and other merchandise released in stores. These days, there are definitely some impressive pieces to be had-- that Jim Lee-inspired The Batman statue from McFarlane is one of my favorite Batman collectibles I own-- but there's…
The Multiverse is all the rage these days, for better or worse, but it's really not difficult to see why. With an endless supply of characters comes an endless supply of variations on those characters. It's great reading stories where Batman teams up with his fellow heroes, but you know what's better than Batman? Two…
There’s something about The Batman that I find compelling. Honestly, I was dreading the movie up until its release, because it just didn’t seem like the type of Batman movie I was wanting. Granted, it wasn’t, but I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. Some of the aesthetic choices…
After over thirty years, countless words have been written about Batman: The Animated Series, be it in regards to its quality, influence, or timelessness. The show can still be appreciated today, with hardly a truly dated aspect in sight, and the spinoff comics are the same way. I alone have written hundreds if not thousands…
Actress and comedian Arleen Sorkin has passed away. Sorkin began her career as a part of various comedy troupes before finding work on television, notably as Calliope Jones on the long-running daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives. In addition to acting, she wrote for series such as Tiny Toon Adventures, and was co-host of…
It was only a matter of time, and now it's been confirmed: Batman '89 and Superman '78 are back... again, with two brand new miniseries coming this November. The wildly popular continuations of the wildly popular films proved to be huge hits when they came out a few years back, and while some hints were…
Fresh off the presses from San Diego Comic-Con, we have one of the biggest-- and most unique-- comics announcements in some time: DC Comics and Genvid Entertainment have partnered up on the upcoming DC Heroes United, an interactive story from comics great Terry Dodson. This is incredibly ambitious and kind of insane, as fans will…
When Insight Editions comes out with a new book, I'm going to take notice. They consistently put out some of my favorite books about pop culture in particular, and DC Comics specifically. Everything I've read that they've published is fantastic, but what's truly impressive just how diverse their output is, from comprehensive histories to movie…
When people ask "what is the greatest car in pop culture?", you might get a few different answers. The ECTO-1 is pretty awesome, as are KITT and the Delorean from Back to the Future. There is only one correct answer, though, and that is the Batmobile. But which Batmobile? Yes. From comics to television to…
When it’s said you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, it can generally mean one of two things: don’t dismiss it if it looks bland, and don’t be deceived if it looks exciting. It’s what’s in the pages that give the book meaning and merit, so a good cover should be seen as a…
After months of speculation and countless rumors, James Gunn has finally cast his Clark Kent and Lois Lane: David Corenswet (Pearl) and Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), respectively. In recent weeks, rumors have swirled that the pair were competing for the roles alongside other hopefuls such as Nicholas Hoult and Emma Mackey, with Corenswet…
Over the past few years, there's hardly been a mainstream motion picture that's gone through so many ups and downs as The Flash, which finally hit screens on June 16. After multiple scripts, directors, and other creators came on board and, ultimately, left the project, director Andy Muschietti finally seemed to "crack the code" to…
