25 on Return to the DCAU this May in the digital-first series “Justice League Infinity”Are you one of the legion of fans who became a DC junkie thanks to Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, and Justice League? If so, have you been longing for a return to that world, with moves like Justice League vs. the Fatal Five and comic series like Batman: The Adventures Continue…
I think it’s safe to say that Batman having the best, most recognizable, and diverse rogues gallery isn’t exactly a controversial statement, right? Names like Joker, Catwoman, Riddler, Two-Face, and Penguin are recognizable to even the most casual members of the general audience, and Bane, Ra’s al Ghul, Scarecrow, Killer Croc, and even Polka-Dot Man…
Last month’s debut issue of Batman: Urban Legends was one of my most anticipated titles to the year, at least so far. An anthology series, showcasing some great talent? Sign me up. While the first issue wasn’t bad by any means, it was a bit underwhelming, especially for a single issue with a hefty price…
They're some of the most conniving, vile masterminds on Earth. They go toe to toe against the greatest heroes in the world. Their powers and skill sets are as varied and useful as they are deadly. With the likes of Lex Luthor, Black Manta, Giganta, and Harley Quinn in their ranks, they are super villains...…
Have you ever driven by a major city, one with lots of tall buildings and cross-streets, and imagined what it would be like to swing between the skyscrapers, perch on an ominous gargoyle, and just survey everything around you? I certainly have, and I can guarantee you the reason for that is because of all…
From a pure nostalgia standpoint, Batman: The Adventures Continue is one of my favorite Batman comics in years. I mean, you have Batman: The Animated Series creators Paul Dini and Alan Burnett writing a pitch-perfect continuation of the classic television show, with spot-on art from comics vet Ty Templeton and colorist Monica Kubina. It was…
The idea of Batman as an urban legend is a curious one, and I have conflicting feelings about it. On the one hand, it makes sense and gives him a sense of mystique. “Have you heard about the Bat-Man?” lowlifes and criminals will whisper to each other in hushed tones, almost afraid that even uttering…
When it comes to Batman, there are his popular stories that most fans have at least read, and even more know. Year One, The Long Halloween, Knightfall, Hush, The Court of Owls, and Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, just to name a few. They routinely appear on Best Of lists, and are…

After DC Comics’ two month detour into a Future State during January and February, the publisher’s main line of titles will return this March. In the case of Justice League, the book will get a new roster (Hippolyta, Naomi, Hawkgirl, and Black Adam join mainstays Superman, Batman, Aquaman, and the Flash), a new creative team…
Back in 1989, it was a pretty great time to be a Batman fan. Tim Drake was introduced, you had awesome stories like “The Mud Pack” on shelves, and there was a pretty popular movie in cinemas. Maybe you’ve seen it? Alexander Knox is a true champ. That was also the year that saw what…
Spend enough time as a Batman fan, and something strange can happen: you start liking other characters too. I know, it's crazy! Batman's the coolest. But sometimes... sometimes it's nice to see someone else get the spotlight. Not at the expense of Batman, of course, but in his stead. That's what the new film Batman:…
When you think of Batman movies, there are no doubt some characters, items, and locations that you’d expect to see. I mean, what is a Batman film without the presence of Bruce Wayne? Alfred is a must, too, along with Jim Gordon and some sort of GCPD presence. Then there are Batarangs, the Batmobile, the…
You’ve heard the phrase “two great things that taste great together.” Peanut butter and jelly. Chocolate and peanut butter. Peanut butter and marshmallow creme. Peanut butter tastes good with lots of stuff, is what I’m saying. But it’s not all about food and taste, either, at least in the literal sense. Scooby-Doo and Batman are…
If there’s one thing we can all agree of regarding the current crop of Future State books, it’s this: The Next Batman from John Ridley and Nick Derington rocks. It was a well-written, exciting look at a potential cyberpunk future for Gotham City, and Tim “Jace” Fox is a surprisingly compelling lead for the title.…
As far as fictional cities go, I’m pretty sure we’d all like to visit Gotham City, right? Like, maybe not actually live there, what with the murder clowns and the ice guy and at least three different avian-themed crime bosses, but visiting would be pretty cool. We could see the Wayne Enterprises building, visit the…
After four and a half decades, it’s finally happened again: the Clown Prince of Crime gets his own solo series. Following up on the groundwork laid in the recent “Joker War” event, James Tynion IV and Guillem March will set the mad dog loose on the world in the ongoing series simply titled The Joker.…
Look, I’ve been asking for a Batman anthology series for years. In fact, I’ve long said that Detective Comics should go that route, with a main story focusing on Batman accompanied by a bunch of backups that feature characters like Black Canary, Slam Bradley, Elongated Man, Martian Manhunter, and Air Wave. Especially Air Wave. Mostly…
We’re sad to report that Tommy “Tiny” Lister has died. The towering actor began his career as an athlete, both as a successful college shot put thrower and as a professional wrestler. He was known as Zeus, the Human Wrecking Machine while in the WWF, where he served as a heel and had a rivalry…
One of the fun things about comic book speculation is bouncing theories and ideas off of friends and fellow fans, with some hopefully good-natured debate thrown into the mix. That’s what’s been so exciting about the upcoming Future State event at DC, particularly where Batman is involved. The Next Batman, to be specific. I mean,…
When looking for high-quality collectibles, there's hardly a name that earns more reverence and awe than Sideshow. Largely seen as the gold standard, the crème de la crème of figures and collectibles, Sideshow has a sterling reputation that is matched only by its exclusivity. Not meant to be a slight in any way, but their…
