16 on Christian Wildgoose announced as new Batgirl artistComing this January, Barbara Gordon will complete her sojourn through Asia and return home to Burnside. With a new arc comes a new artist, as Rafael Albuquerque will leave the title and make way for Christian Wildgoose (Gotham Academy). Wildgoose will team with series mainstay writer Hope Larson to kick off "Son of Penguin". From DC's…
NOTE: If you haven't read Batman #7 yet, go ahead and do so before you read further. You won't be totally lost, and this issue of Nightwing stands on its own just fine, but it's best to get the full story. The Monster Men are here in the first big crossover since DC Rebirthed over…
The Dynamic Duo and those altruistic Avengers Steed and Peel finally head across the pond to London in pursuit of Ms. Gough, Lord Ffogg and Mr. Freeze in the eighth installment of Batman '66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel. Will our heroes uncover the villains' nefarious plot? Can they keep the White Star Diamond safe?…
Unless you can be Batman, that is. Then it's up to you to make the right choice. The LEGO Batman Movie's Twitter account has released a few images today, including a brand new poster and a reminder that today is all about Batman. The movie, which is of course a spinoff of the massively successful The…
If you haven't been reading Batman '66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel, do yourself a favor and catch up. The eighth chapter releases Monday, September 19th, so you have plenty of time, and it's been great fun so far. Plus, each installment is just a buck, and you can't beat that. A large part of the series'…
Who knew I'd be this happy to get back to school? Granted, Gotham Academy hasn't been out that long, with an annual released just a few weeks ago and a... less than stellar crossover between the Detective Club and the Lumberjanes currently being published, but this feels like a return to form for the little…
We're one month in with 288 miles to go, and I can confidently say that All-Star Batman is picking up steam. Last month's issue left me underwhelmed, as I found it to be a great concept that was dragged down by pacing issues and some questionable storytelling. Some of those issues remain, but by and…
Ignoring the fact that every day around here is Batman Day, the third annual official Batman Day is this Saturday, September 17. To celebrate, thousands of comic book retailers, bookstores, schools and libraries across the country will hold special events, including signings with industry talent, games, giveaways, and other activities. More details as we hear…
Agent 37 returns for his third act as an agent of Spyral in Grayson Vol. 3: Nemesis. Collecting the "DC You" sneak preview, issues nine through twelve of the series proper, and Grayson Annual #2, Nemesis contains what may be the best singular run of issues over the course of the series. There's certainly a…
The "Better Than Batman" arc has been one of the most exciting, consistently entertaining stories coming from of DC Comics in the past several months. I've used the word "swashbuckling" to describe it a few times, and I still feel that's accurate: it's a grand adventure, serialized entertainment that hearkens back to the Silver Age…
Sad news today: it has been reported that Leslie H. Martinson has died. The director, who had an extensive career in television, was best known for directing the classic 1966 film Batman: The Movie, which was both a big-screen tie-in to the Adam West/Burt Ward headlined television series and the first cinematic Batman film. The film, which…
Now all but defunct, DC's Elseworlds imprint was a line of out of continuity stories that allowed creators to try some different and, occasionally, truly bizarre things with established characters. Beginning with 1989's excellent Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, which is sadly missing in this collection, the line ran for the better part of a decade…
After the massive, somewhat unexpected success and acclaim of this past summer's Rebirth initiative, DC Comics co-publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee have revealed the first big crossover event: "Justice League vs. Suicide Squad." Speaking in an exclusive with The Wall Street Journal, DiDio and Lee reveal the concept behind the upcoming miniseries, their reactions…
There's an awful lot this series has been doing right: the dialogue is fantastic, the characterizations are spot-on, and the distinct visuals give it a unique look. The plot may be moving along at a bit of a deliberate pace, but it's still intriguing and loads of fun. For that, Edginton, Smith and team must…
I love Gotham Academy. From the beginning, it's been a refreshing look at a part of the DC Universe that's never received much attention, telling a coming-of-age story that is largely bereft of the usual cliches and contrivances that plague similar works. With its charming cast and unique point of view, the adventures of Olive,…
Let me tell you a story about a girl named... let's call her Dana, changing it for propriety's sake. A few weeks ago, my family and I were having breakfast at Chick Fil A and my son wanted to play in the play area. I was in there, playing Batman and Robin with him (in…
Aw yeah, Super Powers! DC just announced a new all-ages miniseries from Art Baltazar and Franco, the minds behind such greats as Superman Family Adventures and Tiny Titans. The synopsis, thanks to Comic Vine's exclusive report: Aw yeah, the World’s Greatest Heroes are back in a new, all-ages miniseries—except for Batman! Superman helps out by…
Ok, first things first, if you haven't already go ahead and watch this, like, fifteen times so we can share in excitement. No rush. I'll wait. While it's unfortunate that we have to wait over two long, grueling months to see West, Ward, and Newmar back in action, thankfully we have this comic to get…
Remember in The Princess Bride* when the grandson asks if his grandfather's story has any sports in it? "Are you kidding?!" the Grandpa replies. "Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles..." That's what Nightwing feels like: a grand, swashbuckling adventure. There may not be any actual fencing or giants (not yet,…
When Darwyn Cooke passed away at the all-too-young age of 53 back in May, he left behind a legacy of great stories and even greater artwork. In the wake of his passing, DC has wisely opted to re-release several of his most beloved stories so fans can experience them anew. While he was best known…
