15 on Detective Comics #1000 named "The Bestselling Comic Book of 2019"While Batman has always been a profitable character for DC Comics, 2019 has been particularly generous to the caped crusader. In a not-so-surprising announcement, Diamond Comic Distributors (the world's largest comic book distributor) has placed DC's wildly successful Detective Comics #1000 at the top of the sales charts for all of 2019! This marks the second…
During last year's New York Comic Con, the streaming service DC Universe announced the "DCYou Unscripted" initiative, encouraging fans across America to create a pitch for an unscripted show related to all things DC. The content could be anything from game shows to opinion pieces, and the ten finalists would be able to pitch their…
The Riddler is one of the most easily identifiable members of Batman's rogues gallery. Ask anyone to name three or four Bat villains and dear old Edward Nygma (or Nashton) is bound to come up more often than not. He's also one of the most notoriously difficult characters to write, as many acclaimed creators have…
Welcome back to The Harley Report, an ongoing conversation between me and Harley Quinn writer Sam Humphries. For our first official installment, we talk about Harley Quinn #67 and how there aren't that many Thanksgiving comics. Plus, I compare legendary artists Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund to a Thanksgiving feast, and we talk a lot…
Welcome to The Harley Report, a brand new, ongoing feature where we talk Harley Quinn with writer Sam "The Hammer" Humphries. Sam approached us here at Batman News about having an ongoing conversation about his work on the Harley Quinn title, and we jumped at the chance to discuss comics with him. And other stuff,…
After you've been offered the opportunity to become the Angel of Retribution of the Lords of Chaos and Order, what else can you do? I mean, that's a pretty huge deal that comes with an insane amount of power, and to just... give it away? What's bigger than that? I suppose becoming a "Crisis Killer" …
Red Hood Jason Todd has come a long way since 2016. He found a new family, lost that family, fought with his other family, cried about his original family, stole a casino, and found yet another family. He's had quite the time, returning to the brutality that once set him apart from the rest of…
Gotham may be the City of Bane, but Batman’s come to take it back. Tom King’s run on the book is quickly approaching its conclusion, with the final showdown between Batman and Bane at the center of it all. Can Bruce set aside his rage and focus on the situation at hand, or will this…
Hi! If this is your first time clicking on a This Week in Comics article, it’s basically a podcast that you have to read. Or a printed, multi-party interview that you have to read instead of listen to. Or something. Anyway, here you’ll find all of the Batman News reviewers discussing the week’s releases. We…
I think it's fair to say that Harley Quinn's life has been relatively wild as of late. She tragically lost her mother, which has injected the book with some welcome pathos, and she's effectively exiled herself on the volcano that appeared just off shore of Coney Island. Like I said: wild. Oh, and she's also…
When it was announced that Tom King would be leaving Batman after December's Batman #85, everyone wondered who DC would tap to take over. Now, thanks to an exclusive over at The Hollywood Reporter, we have the answer: James Tynion IV, who had a lengthy stint with the Dark Knight on Detective Comics at the beginning of DC's Rebirth initiative.…
We're back, and we've got this week's comics ready to discuss! There are a few good books that were released, and there were also a number of reminders of how DC might be killing some of their own brands due to poor direction/ decisions. Regardless of the quality, we're happy to discuss these books because…

We've got the full gang back together again to discuss Wednesday's releases! For those of you who have never checked out This Week in Comics, this is where we bring the entire review team together to have a water-cooler discussion to talk about DC's most-recent releases. Yeah, you may have read Jay's full review for…

Fear not, he is just taking a much-needed vacation, so you'll get the two Texans (Jay and Josh) and the European (Casper) for this week's conversation...

As if you needed any convincing to pick it up, DC Comics have released a sweet animated trailer for Batman: Curse of the White Knight #1. But really, given that the preceding series Batman: White Knight was so positively received, there’s not a chance that you wont be picking up the first issue of Sean…
SDCC put us a little behind, but we were finally able to come together to discuss last week's releases. So, if you're all caught up with the announcements from this past weekend (and there were plenty!), then take a moment to hang out with us around the water cooler and let's talk comics! Here's This…
