3 on McFarlane Toys Batman: The Classic TV Series action figures, Batmobile, and Batcave reviewI love Batman '66. This is known. Because of that love, I am all in on any merchandise we can get based on the West/Ward series, so of course I love this wave of action figures from McFarlane Toys. I'm not even going to try and bury the lede, because that would be an insult…
When you look at the origins for the world's most famous superheroes, it's easy to talk in broad strokes. With Batman, we know young Bruce Wayne watched as his parents were murdered in an alley, prompting him to wage a war on crime. For Superman, you have a doomed planet, desperate scientists, last hope, and…
The latest all-ages graphic novel from DC Comics will soon be here, and Batman and Robin and Howard is s real gem. Without getting into spoilers, it's a fun and funny tale of a "grounded" Damian Wayne trying to be a real kid, making some true friends while he longs to return to being a…
DC Comics have one of the richest and most iconic stables of heroes in all of fiction. For every Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Flash, there's also a Nightwing, Vixen, Hawkman, Black Canary, Green Lantern, Mister Miracle, and Big Barda. And that's just a handful of recognizable names I pulled off the top of…
I love comics. I also love toys that are based on comics. If they're toys that are based on a particular comic, then all the better, and McFarlane Toys have us spoiled with some of the offerings today. We've got two different Batman figures from two different comic series, two Jokers to accompany one of…
If my previous review went to show how diverse McFarlane’s palate is in regards to DC in different mediums, this one goes a step further to show how many different characters they’re aiming to represent from the comics. We have a single Batman character, a few DC heroes, and several of McFarlane’s pride and joy…
With over eighty years of history, and a presence across multiple mediums, DC Comics has a deep, deep well of characters and content to merchandise. You can pull from comics, movies, TV, video games, and even books and radio shows and still barely scratch the surface of all they have to offer. And it’s a…
There's been a lot of Batman comics news this year, as the Dark Knight has had a greater presence in the comics than... possibly ever. One of the most interesting, unexpected, and intriguing bits of news was the announcement that Danny DeVito, Batman Returns' Oswald Cobblepot himself, would be writing a Penguin story for an…
No matter how you look at James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, I don't think there's any doubt that Bloodsport was one of the highlights. Personally, I loved the movie and felt it had many, many highlights, but get a charismatic and likable actor like Idris Elba in a role and you've got guaranteed gold. And…
Come gather round, readers, for I have a tale to tell about a Batman action figure. Some say it may be the greatest Batman action figure, though who can know for sure? Well, based on my experience, it could very well be the greatest Batman figure ever crafted. At the very least, the greatest Batman…
Batman-- I think it's safe to say-- is a pretty popular comic book character. Fortnite-- I also think it's safe to say-- is a fairly popular video game. It only makes sense that the two would eventually meet, then, and not just on video game screens. Yeah, Batman and several other DC heroes have downloadable…
For some reason, this issue kind of snuck up on me. It feels like I just reviewed the second issue, like, a week ago. Maybe it’s because I was able to read the first installment of Batman ‘89 well in advance of its publication, meaning I had plenty of time to let my final thoughts…
Christmas time is almost here, and it’s the most wonderful time of the year. Sure, “spooky season” is fun, and Thanksgiving is a wonderful day to just gorge on some incredible food, but Christmas is something special. There’s obviously the true meaning of the season, with love, hope, and joy to the world, but the…
Fables was a near-perfect comic book series. Over the course of its 150 issues, spin-off series, and one-shot specials, it hardly ever hit a lull in its storytelling, with the adventures of the citizens of Fabletown escalating believably from one event and threat to the next. That's mighty impressive for any comic book, let alone…
Yes chums, today is Batman Day, as if we didn't already celebrate the Dark Knight every other day of the year. But, it's nice to have something official, you know? And as Batman is a pretty solid fixture in popular culture, there are so many different ways to enjoy being a fan of the Caped…
Wind back the clock earlier this year and Batman ‘89 was far and away at the op of my list of most anticipated comics. The only other book that came close was Superman ‘78, for many of the same reasons (and which was excellent, by the way.) The first issue earned a lot of goodwill…
Well, I suppose I did ask for this, after all. My main complaint about Batman: Urban Legends has been the lack of standalone stories. Almost everything has either been one part of a multi-part tale, or a "one-shot" that really just serves as a backdoor pilot to a forthcoming book. Yes, I've brought this up…
We’re sad to report that legendary television and film actor Ed Asner has passed away. While Asner had a diverse and storied career spanning the past eight decades, comic fans will recognize him as the voice of quite a few characters. On the DC front, he voiced industrialist Roland Daggett on Batman: The Animated Series,…
The Cobblepot’s number one son who was treated like number two returns this November, as legendary actor and national treasure Danny DeVito will contribute a Penguin story to the one-shot comic Gotham City Villains Anniversary Giant #1. While DeVito’s take on the Penguin is certainly unique and very much a product of the film he…
Superheroes are cool. I mean, Superman? Batman? Black Lightning? Wonder Woman? Awesome. You know what else is cool? Medieval fantasy. All of it is cool. Swords and sorcery, knights, castles, and dragons? Especially dragons. And do you know who is cool? Tom Taylor and Yasmine Putri. One of comics’ best writers and artists, respectively. So…
