35 on Injustice animated movie voice cast announcedIt 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.…
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 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…
Mystery Inc. reunites with the Dynamic Duo for the second installment of this series, and the problem is bigger than ever: there's a ghost in the Batcave! Can Batman, Robin, and the gang spook the spectre out of their subterranean space? Let's find out! As is the practice with this book, since the print books…
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,…
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…
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…

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…
