0 on Funko and McFarlane The Flash movie figures reviewThe Flash is almost here, after years of delays, rewrites, and creative changes. By all accounts so far, it’s a winner for DC and Warner Bros., with winning performances, plenty of laughs and thrills in equal measure, and nostalgia done right. With a major motion picture comes major merchandising opportunities, and the Scarlet Speedster’s first…
To say that Batman and Catwoman have had a rough few years together would be quite the understatement, what with their romance, almost-marriage, splitting up, getting glimpses of their future, and now what could charitably be called "rocky separation." But none of that compares to what's to come later this year, as the Dark Knight…
In the history of Batman, I’m willing to bet that more words have been written about Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, and Lynn Barley’s The Dark Knight Returns than just about any other story. It’s a seminal work that-- for better or worse-- changed the character in ways that are still being felt today, almost forty…
If you want to make this particular comic fan happy, you can do worse than announcing that Mark Waid will be writing a new DC Comics series. If you want to make me really happy, announce that he's writing two new DC Comics series. If you want to make me really, really happy, make sure…
It’s almost been a full year since Matt Reeves’ The Batman hit theaters, and even still the film lingers in the pop culture consciousness. It was a massive hit, after all, with a sequel already in the works and a Penguin spin-off series set to go into production soon. Given that Batman is a pretty…
There's hardly a film coming out this year that is as anticipated as The Flash. With its troubled, start-and-stop production history, and the mystery surrounding the finished product's overall story, it's a movie that fans have been looking forward to seeing for a number of reasons. Now, after multiple delays and years of speculation, the…
Batman really lends himself to a lot of different storytelling genres, from street-level noir to tongue-in-cheek comedy. Given that he's a mysterious creature of the night, you'd think there would be a lot more Batman horror stories out there. Sure, there have been plenty over the years, but it still seems to be an untapped…
As Christmas gets closer, and we approach the end of our gift guide posts, you may still be on the lookout for a few other items to round out your holiday shopping. One thing that falls by the wayside all too often are gifts for stockings, which shouldn't ever be the case. I mean, grab…
There will always be new Batman products, be it toys or books or comics or any number of other collectibles. Go into practically any store and you’ll find something with Batman on it, even if it’s a shirt or some bedsheets. Batman is a pop culture force, and with that comes endless opportunities for merchandising.…
No matter how old you are, who doesn't like getting toys at Christmas? Young or old, whether for play or collecting, everyone likes a nice action figure or statue based on their favorite characters. McFarlane Toys and Fisher Price have both been doing a pretty stellar job of offering up a bunch of different DC…
Is there anything better than sitting down by the fireplace on a cold day, wrapping yourself up in a nice warm blanket, and reading a book? It's one of life's simple pleasures, to be sure, and the good folks at Insight Editions are always offering some stellar reading material. This year is no exception, as…
Finally, it's the holiday season once again. For Americans, Thanksgiving is less than a week away, which means that Christmas season will kick into high gear pretty much immediately after you finish your second plate of pumpkin pie. We here at Batman News are always on the hunt for the best Batman and DC Comics…
Much like Die Hard, Batman Returns is a movie that is firmly set at Christmastime, with events and settings and decor that evoke the holiday season. Yet both films seem to pose the same question every single year: "is this really a Christmas movie?" (They are) The debates are generally good-natured, and I can personally…
There was a time where a comic fan could hardly turn around without seeing a Batman or Spawn comic book. That time was the 90s. That time is also now, as Batman is undoubtedly the most prolific character on the stands today, and Spawn has been in constant publication for almost three decades, making him…
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: one of the greatest assets that McFarlane Toys has with their DC Multiverse figures is the variety of characters and properties they represent. More than that, they pull from all sorts of entertainment mediums, from comics to video games to movies and television shows. It seems…
If you're a comics fan, chances are you've seen a character or scene in a book and thought "I wish that was a toy." Well, McFarlane Toys are certainly doing their part to bring us as many action figures and sets as they can, all based on our favorite DC Comics properties. Here we have…
DC Comics is one of the most popular and prolific publishers on the planet*. Zombies are one of the more popular horror creatures out there too, which makes sense because the undead are both terrifying and easy to adapt to practically any property. Combine the two and you've got yourself DCeased, DC's immensely successful take…
It's hard to write an opening for something related to Batman: The Animated Series, because everyone knows it, everyone loves it, and I can only share my own personal anecdotes so many times before I become "repetitive" or something. I don't know. Anyway, McFarlane have a bunch of great action figures, and have started producing…
We're sad to report that actor David Warner has passed away. Warner was a veteran of stage and screen, with a career that spanned the better part of seven decades. With an instantly recognizable voice, Warner immortalized the character of Ra's al Ghul with generations of fans, as his Annie Award-nominated performance on Batman: The…
It has been reported that Scottish comic book writer and industry legend Alan Grant has passed away. Grant is widely regarded as one of the greatest Batman writers of all time, thanks in no small part to his work with the equally great artist Norm Breyfogle. The pair created the villain Anarky during their stint…
