15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

Since its announcement a few months back, Tom Taylor’s DCeased has become one of the most highly anticipated series of 2019. I mean, sure, you could look at it as “just another zombie story,” but this is from the guy who wrote Injustice. That could have been “just another video game tie-in,” yet he turned…
Something is smelly in Boca Raton! While Superman battles his grayer, beardlier, handsomer, futurer self in a dark dimension, and Mera, Starman, and Jarro try to keep Mxyzptlk from unraveling the fabric of everything, the rest of the League is in the lap of luxury in their utopian future. But all that glitters is not…
The Trials of Harley Quinn continues in this month’s installment. It’s Harley’s third trial, and it involves creepy monsters, laser weaponry, hallucinations, a trippy encounter with something from outer space, and really good sequential art. If you ask me, all of this sounds awesome and it should make for a fun issue. But it’s not…
We’ve got a bit of a light week in terms of full reviews this week. With the absence of Batman this week, the only books we’ll provide full coverage for is Justice League and Harley Quinn. That being said, we’ll have plenty to cover for This Week in Comics, and there are quite a few…
It's Batman's 80th birthday! What better way to celebrate than by having your favorite comic review team come together to discuss the landmark Detective Comics #1000? Well, that's what we're here to do! So grab your bat party hat, a piece of bat-birthday cake, and your best bat-buddy, and join us for this conversation! “Batman’s Longest…
Detective Comics #1000 may have debuted this week, but the celebration of Batman's 80th birthday doesn't stop there. The party raged on during day one of WonderCon, and DC Comics brought plenty of Batman goodness to share. The biggest news was that, starting with issue 1001, Detective Comics will have a brand new title logo.…
Reviews and the discussions they inspire are a big part of why readers visit the Batman News comics section. So an article in which all of our reviewers engage in a discussion about that week’s titles? Why, you’d think it’s a no-brainer! And yet it took several years for the idea to cross our minds……
Heroes in Crisis? More like King in Crisis. This is definitely a Tom King book, and I don’t mean that in a positive way. That’s not to say that he’s a terrible writer. King has written many incredible comics. In fact, if I were to make a top ten list of my favorite comic books…
‘Old Enemies,’ the last arc of Batgirl, left plenty of loose threads hanging, so the last thing Babs needs right now is another distraction. Nonetheless, The Batman Who Laughs #2 saw the return of her psychopath brother, so it was only a matter of time before the siblings were reunited. In Batgirl #33, Mairghread Scott…
Last year the Guinness World Records recognized Action Comics as the longest-running superhero comic book series. This year Detective Comics no. 1000 pushes the title over the millennial milestone as well. Though both comics unfortunately had a short spate of being renumbered in 2011, DC editorial came to their senses and got the titles back…
This is a very important week! Yes, it is the week in which Detective Comics #1000 releases, but it’s also important for a reason that is personal for all of us here at Batman-News. This week, we say goodbye to one of our original team members… Elena. Back in 2014, Andrew Asberry was a machine,…

Let’s be honest, Nightwing is better now than when DC started this whole Ric Grayson stint, but it’s still far from great. On the surface, this story might appear to be decent, but when you start digging in, it quickly falls apart. And no, Joker’s Daughter definitely doesn’t help. Two huge problems continue to plague…
The Justice League goes sight-seeing—IN THE FUTURE! While Mera, Starman, and Jarro keep vigil over Mxyzptlk, and Superman rots in a dark, sandy prison, the rest of the crew travels to the Sixth Dimension to see how they won it all. Because we all believe that's what happened, right? There's nothing suspect about this Future…
Tom King makes the absolute best of derivation in this 5th installment of the endless “Knightmares” saga. Do yourselves a favor and just forget about all 66 issues leading up to this one for a moment: just flip through the pages divorced of all the baggage that precedes this and all the still-unanswered questions. Because…
So… Tsujihara is out at Warner Bros. How will this affect the future of DC films? New leadership often involves people bringing in their own respective team members, so could we potentially see major changes within the next year? Only time will tell. The appointment of Tsujihara’s replacement could be very telling, so as more…
Pulling this post together is one of the things I’ve grown to look forward to more than anything. I get to cover comics without approaching them with a hypercritical eye. If I don’t like something, I simply don’t have to write about it. If I love something, then I get to gush over it… And…

Just by their very nature, DC’s new Ink and Zoom lines are pretty exciting. Imprints aimed at young and young adult readers, with stories featuring beloved characters backed up by all-star creative teams? We need more of this in the world. But the fact that Art Baltazar and Franco are reuniting for a Superman book?…
The prodigal prince of Gotham returns! Jason Todd has been living it up and making friends in the American heartland, and now he's come back home to share all of the goodness he picked up along the way. Batman better get ready for hugs, respect, and unconditional obedience in Red Hood: Outlaw #32. SPOILERS MAY OR MAY…
