14 on Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders reviewHoly role reprisal, Batman! Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar return as television's Batman, Robin, and Catwoman in the all-new animated movie Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. The original film from Warner Bros. Animation sees Batman and Robin continue their courageous crusade against crime, all set within the universe of the beloved and…
Aw yeah, Super Powers! The fantastic team of Art Baltazar and Franco are back to deliver wonderful all-ages adventures for your enjoyment. In the vein of the spectacular Tiny Titans and Superman Family Adventures, Super Powers is innocent, charming, and fun. It may also be one of the best team books DC is publishing today, and…
Following possibly its best singular run of issues, Grayson returns for its penultimate collection. Collecting Robin War #1-2 and Grayson #13-16, A Ghost in the Tomb covers Agent 37's adventures in Gotham and abroad as he goes from training new We Are Robin recruits to uncovering the lingering mysteries of Spyral. Robin War (Robin War…
Dick Grayson has been through a lot lately: he's taken down the Parliament of Owls, been betrayed by someone he put his trust in, and has had some pretty crazy dreams. Now, what's old is new again as Nightwing returns to Blüdhaven. What new challenges will Dick encounter? What familiar faces will he meet in…
In addition to a great interview with Dan Jurgens, DC Comics has given Batman News an exclusive sneak preview of Batman Beyond #2. Check out the gallery below, which includes a chilling confrontation between Batman and the Joker. “THE RETURN” part two! Terry is tested in a way he hasn’t been since he returned as Batman.…
Without question, Rebirth has been a resounding success. With a mission focused on optimism and legacy, DC is publishing some of its best books in years, thanks in no small part to some talented creative teams. One of those creative voices is Dan Jurgens, a true comics legend. Having been involved in one of the…
Hijinks ensue as Beast Boy gains a new power: the ability to smell the future. ...wait, what? Huh. So I did read it right. Alrighty. This story is so, so goofy, and at first I thought it would be a mild diversion at best. The concept is dumb and kind of a throwaway, one-joke idea,…
There will come a day, if it hasn't arrived already, where Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason's names will be listed among the greatest comic book collaborative teams. With their work on the consistently excellent Batman and Robin and the one-two punch of the near-perfect Superman #10 and this week's not-quite-as-great-but-still-really-really-good Superman #11, Tomasi and Gleason…
Optimism is a virtue. It's a trait that can be cast in an unfavorable light, coming off as hokey or unrealistic, but it's still a virtue. The idea that you can look at something or someone and believe the best about a situation is, to an increasingly cynical world, silly and naive, making optimism seem…
Think of your favorite cartoons from when you were a kid. If you grew up in the late Eighties and early Nineties, chances are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Batman: The Animated Series are on that list. Maybe one, probably both. At least, I know that was the case for me. I loved the Turtles…
Do you love Batman: The Animated Series? What a silly question, of course you do. Do you miss seeing the character designs gracing television and the printed page? And not the New Batman Adventures designs, or even the ones from the Justice League cartoon, but the classic blue highlights/yellow chest symbol Batman? How about Nickelodeon's…
Recently, DC Comics started an initiative to higher fresh new talent. Enter the New Talent Showcase, an upcoming collection of short stories featuring both writers and artists from the program. The one-shot, available November 30th, contains nine shorts starring a wide variety of DC characters, including Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Deadman, and Wonder Woman. Enjoy the…
Batman's latest crossover comes to a close with a chapter that is incredibly interesting, which is to both its detriment and benefit. From the beginning I've really enjoyed the snappy, whip-smart dialogue and unique visual style of this book. Unfortunately, the story began to wear out its welcome in recent weeks, spinning the narrative wheels…
Let's talk about that cover for a second. I mean, how great is it? Say what you will about Romita's style (believe me, I have some things to say later), but that image definitely grabs your attention. It's like those old Golden and Silver Age covers that had a million things going on that were…
After years of frustration, petitions, and indomitable hope, Young Justice fans have reason to rejoice: the show is finally returning for a third season. From DC's press release: The Team is back and it’s “business as usual.” Warner Bros. Animation has begun production on a third season of all-new episodes of the acclaimed hit, action-animated…
It's easy to take advantage of it now, but there was once a time where our favorite superheroes rarely crossed paths, if ever. There weren't line-spanning crossovers, monthly guest spots, or innumerable team-up books; instead, most characters stuck to their own titles, save for rare exceptions like World's Finest. Imagine, then, what it must have…
*Warning: Spoilers Ahead* We've witnessed the introduction of Raptor. We've endured the rise of Raptor. Now, we see the fall of Raptor. One of Tim Seeley's stated goals for Nightwing has been to give Dick a memorable rogues gallery. Given how great of a character he is and how long he's endured in the comics…
Those self-described idiots at MAD Magazine are at it again, this time riffing on the classic children's story Goodnight Moon. For those that don't know, Goodnight Moon is a classic children's picture book, written by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd. Originally published in 1947, the simple story details a rabbit wishing everything…
The penultimate chapter is here, chums, and our heroes have found themselves in yet another quandary. Faced with hordes of Cybernauts, Batman, Robin, Steed and Peel must work together to stop Michaela Gough's rampage. It's difficult to judge this installment on its own merits, because it's all build-up for the final chapter. Gone are the…
Not every book needs to include Batman. If you are going to include Batman, make sure you use him well. And if you aren't going to use him well, at least make the story memorable. Preferably with ninjas or something. -Ancient proverb Up to this point, Deathstroke has been a lot of things: a psychological…
