9 on Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen re-team this November for the three-issue miniseries “Robin & Batman”What’s this? Another comic book starring that teenaged daredevil dynamo Robin, the Boy Wonder? And this from the duly acclaimed team behind such fantastic fables as Descender and Ascender? Yes, dear reader, Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen will turn back the clocks this November with Robin & Batman, a three-issue, prestige format miniseries that chronicles…
Almost every Batman fan has a favorite Robin, I think it’s safe to say. Whether you go with Dick Grayson, the original Boy Wonder, Jason Todd, the successor who never lived up to his predecessor, Tim Drake, the correct choice, Stephanie Brown for her short-loved stint, or Damian Wayne for being… well, he’s gotten better,…
Let me be real here: the current state of Batman comics has left me wanting for quite some time now. There’s a whole lot of Batman content out there, but more often than not it seems like it’s quantity over quality. There are a few gems here and there, to be sure, as The Batman…
Before we even dive into the contents of this issue, I think we can all agree that the cover from Nicola Scott and Annette Kwok is absolutely aces. Batman and Red Hood facing off in the foreground while their classic counterparts rush forward in the background? Gorgeous work. If only the contents inside matched the…

Jock is no stranger to the world of Gotham. Besides being the penciler for books like Batman: The Black Mirror-- still widely considered to be one of Dick Grayson’s finest outings as Batman-- and the super creepy The Batman Who Laughs miniseries, Jock is a regular contributor of variant covers for various DC titles, Batman…
What’s this? Another LEGO set review, this time appraising George Barris’ beautifully bombastic and bewilderingly breathtaking Batmobile? A set that sees those two arch-fiends, the Caped Crusader and the Clown Prince of Crime, locked in miniature melee? What wonders will we uncover in the construction of the classic car? Read on to find out, fellow…
It began as a video game, hinged on a simple concept: what would happen if Superman lost everything, and acted out on his rage? Injustice: Gods Among Us definitely had a controversial core concept, but it was enough to create a fighting game that allowed players to pit DC’s heroes and villains against each other.…
We have reached a point in human history where LEGO and Batman practically go hand in hand. There are tons of Batman LEGO sets. Batman was in The LEGO Movie. LEGO Batman had his own movie, complete with righteous theme song. Will Arnett, the voice of LEGO Batman, hosts the hit competition show LEGO Masters.…
There’s hardly a comic I’ve been looking forward to more this year than Batman ‘89. A return to the continuity of Tim Burton’s Batman movies, written by Sam Hamm, the screenwriter of the classic 1989 blockbuster, with art from the incredible Joe Quinones and Leonardo Ito, and letters from Clayton Cowles? It’s enough to make…
Prepare for a double-dose of spookiness this October, as DC Comics have announced two new series that are sure to chill you the the bone. Or satisfy your desire for horror around Halloween. Either one works. You see, we’ll be getting one book with zombies, and another with vampires. Here’s hoping we complete the hat…
Once more into the fire, as we have another issue of Batman: Urban Legends. As I said in this week’s Upcoming Comics, there are two types of stories in this series: okay stories from great creators, and backdoor pilots for potential standalone books. This month, at least one of the stories is both of those…
It’s hard to imagine Gotham City without Batman. The Dark Knight and his home are practically synonymous with one another, to the point that when asked, practically anyone would be able to tell you that Batman lives in Gotham City, even if they’ve never touched a comic book in their entire life. But a Gotham…
It is one of the most acclaimed Batman stories of all time, listed alongside classics such as Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns as essential reading. Both self-contained and a pseudo-continuation of Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s origin story, Batman: The Long Halloween is perhaps the crowning achievement atop the already impressive list if collaborations…

Everybody has their personal preference when it comes to reading comics, especially in regards to what they like to listen to while reading. Some will put on a familiar album, others the mellower sounds of classical music or talk radio, and if you’re like me, you like as much silence as possible so you can…
Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham’s Fables is one of the greatest comic series of all time. Full stop. Taking familiar fairy tales and having them take exile in the real world, the stories taking place in Fabletown and the Homelands had some of the richest mythology I’ve ever read in a comic, along with truly…
Six years after the previous volume was originally published, we finally get to return to the world of Batman: Earth One, with the star-studded creative team of Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Jon Sibal, Brad Anderson, and Rob Leigh in tow. The long-awaited third volume picks up shortly after the second, as Bruce Wayne grows more…
Batman: Urban Legends is back, and its fourth issue might have the widest range of quality so far. One story is the best installment of anything this series has seen to this point, and another almost gets there, but the other two have to settle for those words that I don’t want to have to…
It’s kind of crazy to think that the Joker-- quite possibly the most recognizable comic book villain of all time-- has had so few headlining series. Sure, he’s popped up in tons of books over the years, and has been the star of various extended arcs, miniseries, and graphic novels. But save for a brief…
This fall, a new event will come to the Bat-titles, and things are going to get spooky. Scary, even, as the Scarecrow lets loose his plan to control Gotham City through the power of fear in the event that’s titled, appropriately, “Fear State.” I mean, if you have a gimmick, commit to it, right? What’s…
Batman: Urban Legends #3 is fine. All the way through. In my entire time reading it, my feelings didn’t waver strongly one way over the other. I liked some things, disliked others, but didn’t really move far past “that was still okay” either way. The ongoing stories? Yeah, they’re fine. The new one-and-done chapter? Yep,…
