18 on Legends of the Dark Knight returns as a digital-first anthology series in AprilBack 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…
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.…
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…
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…
At long last, Batman's adventures on Earth One will continue. Or at least, his adventures in Earth One, as the long-awaited third volume of the acclaimed and influential graphic novel series will finally be released next year. After a five year hiatus, the superstar team of Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Jon Sibal, and Brad Anderson…
Much has been written about the greatness of Batman: The Animated Series. Heck, I’ve probably written at least a few thousand words celebrating the series on this site alone, so it’s safe to say that the landmark cartoon is no stranger to effusive praise. What’s so great about the show, though, is that it’s more…
At long last, the wait is over: Tom King, Clay Mann, Tomeu Morey, and Clayton Cowle's highly-anticipated Batman/Catwoman will debut this December. Announced back in 2019, the long-awaited series will explore the ongoing relationship between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, as told across three different timelines. In one of those timelines? None other than Andrea…
In most detective stories, there’s normally a point in the second act where the protagonist is reprimanded by a higher authority – on account of a crucial mess-up they might have made. Maybe the loose canon got too rough with a suspect, or the alcoholic private eye let his drinking get in the way of…
Take one of the world’s most popular fictional characters. Add in some of the comic industry’s most talented creators. Then present it all in glorious black and white. What do you have? Why, Batman: Black and White, of course. DC Comics have announced that the beloved anthology series from yesteryear is making a comeback this…
When we turn 10 -years-old as kids, we don't spend much time looking back. There's cake and ice cream and superhero toys that seem way more important. But when a website turns 10, that's a great time to look back at the history of the site. Batman News has been around for the release of 12…
In 2010, all Chris Begley wanted was more news about the third film in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. Unsatisfied with what was out there he finally took matters into his own hands and launched Batman News over Labor Day weekend. A decade later The Dark Knight Rises may be in our rearview mirror, but…
There are few publishers that get me more excited about new product than Insight Editions. Their output is consistently excellent, with attractive volumes that range from cookbooks to art collections to the anatomical breakdowns of different superheroes. When Insight announced that they were teaming up with Mondo for a book that collected a bunch of…
A new Batman mini-series by John Ridley and Nick Derington was announced today at DC's Fandome event! The series is going to be four issues and will start in January of 2021. As part of the announcement, DC also released a gorgeous piece of "key" art associated with the title by LADRÖNN. The most interesting…
Funko is probably the most successful purveyor of licensed merch in the business. Their POP! line is known to all, and their spin-off vinyl figures like Dorbz, Pint Size Heroes, and Mystery Minis are pretty healthy product lines themselves. But something else Funko is great at is recognizing other quality brands and bringing them on-board, just as they did…
Almost as important as the Batsuit to the job of being Batman is the Batmobile. Every redesign of the Batmobile is scrutinized, and each one, no matter how crazy they may be, has its charms. Warner Bros. realizes how important the Batmobile is and it has released a free Batmobile documentary to YouTube that you…
Welcome back to the Batman News Quarantine Book Club, everyone! We’ve got a unique story today in the form of Batman Chronicles: The Gauntlet, written by Bruce Canwell and pencilled by Lee Weeks, with colours from Matt Hollingsworth. This story is a one-shot issue that features Dick Grayson as Robin, the day before he’s given…
In the Arrowverse, Batman was such a ghost that not even the Green Arrow, ostensibly the world's first vigilante, knew about him. We didn't know Bruce Wayne existed until Arrow season 6, and it wasn't until the Elseworld's crossover a year later that we'd get confirmation that Batman himself existed. Now, though, Batwoman (watch it here) has…
