0 on Superman: The Ultimate Guide reviewWith 87 years of history, you could fill a lot of books about nothing but Superman, his stories, supporting cast, and various exploits. And they have, what with the thousands of individual issues of Superman comics that are out there. If you wanted a comprehensive look at the Man of Steel, though, that would be…
In my years of writing for this and other websites, I’ve reviewed a wide range of products. Single-issue comics and graphic novels, of course, along with prose novels, reference books, card and board games, action figures and statues, movies, and television series. You know what I’ve also reviewed a surprising number of? Cookbooks. Not like…
Random House has announced Welcome to Metropolis: The Prequel Junior Novel for the upcoming Superman movie. A new novel has appeared on the Random House website that will serve as a prequel to the upcoming Superman movie. The official blurb of the novel says: Clark Kent is a fresh face to Metropolis, trying to balance…
It's a tall order, following up on a beloved piece of art. There's always the risk that the sequel won't be a patch on the original, and even if there's more story to tell you need to strike while the iron is hot so the audience doesn't lose interest. At least, that used to be…
For comic fans, amassing a collection of single issues, graphic novels, and omnibus collections is a never-ending endeavor. With access to comic shops and online vendors alike, it’s never been easier to buy comics to start, continue, or complete your collection. As if a collection is ever complete. You know what I mean. To make…
After 35 years, it's really hard to think of something new to say about a movie like Batman. We've all seen it. We know the behind the scenes stories about the making of the film. We can each probably sing at least three of the Prince tunes on the soundtrack in their entirety, whilst performing…
In collaboration with DC, The Folio Society, an independent hardback book publisher, will celebrate the 85th anniversary of the first comic book appearance of Batman with the release of DC: Batman! This collectible compilation includes a total of twelve classic comics from of iconic creators such as Bill Finger, Bob Kane, Jerry Robinson, Denny O'Neil,…
Any time I write about Batman: The Animated Series, it gets harder and harder to come up with something to say. I touched on this in my review of The Batman Adventures Omnibus, in that while I could talk all day, every day about this series, so much has been said and written about this…
Here we are once again, approaching the end of yet another year. With the holiday season upon us, surely you'll find yourself asking at least once, what gift should I get for the Batman fan in my life? Or, perhaps more accurately, you will be asked this question by others, because you are the Batman…
The Multiverse is all the rage these days, for better or worse, but it's really not difficult to see why. With an endless supply of characters comes an endless supply of variations on those characters. It's great reading stories where Batman teams up with his fellow heroes, but you know what's better than Batman? Two…
After over thirty years, countless words have been written about Batman: The Animated Series, be it in regards to its quality, influence, or timelessness. The show can still be appreciated today, with hardly a truly dated aspect in sight, and the spinoff comics are the same way. I alone have written hundreds if not thousands…
When Insight Editions comes out with a new book, I'm going to take notice. They consistently put out some of my favorite books about pop culture in particular, and DC Comics specifically. Everything I've read that they've published is fantastic, but what's truly impressive just how diverse their output is, from comprehensive histories to movie…
When people ask "what is the greatest car in pop culture?", you might get a few different answers. The ECTO-1 is pretty awesome, as are KITT and the Delorean from Back to the Future. There is only one correct answer, though, and that is the Batmobile. But which Batmobile? Yes. From comics to television to…
When it’s said you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, it can generally mean one of two things: don’t dismiss it if it looks bland, and don’t be deceived if it looks exciting. It’s what’s in the pages that give the book meaning and merit, so a good cover should be seen as a…
Over the past few years, there's hardly been a mainstream motion picture that's gone through so many ups and downs as The Flash, which finally hit screens on June 16. After multiple scripts, directors, and other creators came on board and, ultimately, left the project, director Andy Muschietti finally seemed to "crack the code" to…
It’s almost been a full year since Matt Reeves’ The Batman hit theaters, and even still the film lingers in the pop culture consciousness. It was a massive hit, after all, with a sequel already in the works and a Penguin spin-off series set to go into production soon. Given that Batman is a pretty…
Finally we reach the end of our holiday gift guide, and what better way to cap it off than with what's most important: comics! More specifically, graphic novels. We all love filling out our shelves and having those nice, physical collections of our favorite stories to share with friends and family. I'll be going over…
There will always be new Batman products, be it toys or books or comics or any number of other collectibles. Go into practically any store and you’ll find something with Batman on it, even if it’s a shirt or some bedsheets. Batman is a pop culture force, and with that comes endless opportunities for merchandising.…
Is there anything better than sitting down by the fireplace on a cold day, wrapping yourself up in a nice warm blanket, and reading a book? It's one of life's simple pleasures, to be sure, and the good folks at Insight Editions are always offering some stellar reading material. This year is no exception, as…
Much like Die Hard, Batman Returns is a movie that is firmly set at Christmastime, with events and settings and decor that evoke the holiday season. Yet both films seem to pose the same question every single year: "is this really a Christmas movie?" (They are) The debates are generally good-natured, and I can personally…
