4 on General Mills Batman v Superman #4Coo-coo for comic books Not content with merely making the World's Finest cereal, General Mills has teamed up with DC to put collectible Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice comics in some of your favorite morning vittles. More than simple marketing gimmicks, these four minis feature creators whose names comic fans will recognize, and self-contained stories that…
This month's issue of Gotham Academy is leaps and bounds better than the first two installments of the Yearbook story arc. The first positive in its favor is the extremely Maps-centric nature of the stories. For me, the more involved Maps is in any given story, the more entertaining I usually find it. Second, the…
In this issue, we get the conclusion of Taylor and Rocha's "Universe's Finest" arc. Superman contends with his mysterious captor, Batman cruises the cosmos in Lobo's ride, and--not satisfied with merely capturing our imaginations--the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel capture our hearts. How long have they kept you here? I haven't been reading comics…
Coming this June, DC Comics and BOOM! Studios will join together for a crossover between Gotham Academy and Lumberjanes. This is good news for Olive, Maps, and the rest of the students at the Academy, as the critically-acclaimed and fan favorite series has struggled with sales, but with this miniseries and its presence on the…
My mom is in town at the moment, and when we’re not bouncing around LA (aka: hitting up as many shopping malls as possible – my mom’s idea of fun, not mine), we’re both trying to convince each other to take an interest in each other’s tv/film preferences. She tries to get me to watch…
Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are the Big Three at DC Comics, if not for comics in general. When Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1 back in 1938, an entirely new genre was born: the superhero comic. Soon after, Batman appeared in 1939 and bridged the popular pulp tales of old with this new medium of…
Cat's TidBits: Part three of 'City of Yesterday' and we're still dealing with the Splicers, but things have gotten just a little bit interesting. And by interesting, I mean, VERY. This is always the first thing that I want to mention when I'm reviewing Batman Beyond, but the Post-Apocalyptic world is such a good look to it.…
Once a month, I'll be writing about the things I'm reading in which Batman is (gasp) absent. My hope is that I can turn you on to some good stuff that maybe you wouldn't have checked out otherwise. Or maybe I'm too weird and you won't dig anything I pick. Either way, be sure to…
Here’s Batman News’ exclusive preview of Detective Comics #50, the latest chapter in Peter J. Tomasi's run that continues James Gordon's stint as Gotham's Dark Knight. The current arc features a murder mystery that plays into historical figures and ties back to Gordon's past... DETECTIVE COMICS #50 Written by PETER J. TOMASI Pencils by FERNANDO PASARIN and SCOT…
So I’m reading Midnighter this morning, and I have the local news on the TV for background noise. While I’m reading, they start covering politics and discuss Donald Trump and some of his brash behavior/ comments… and it’s right as Midnighter is up to his typical behavior in this issue. Specifically: My mind immediately went…
Okay folks! Now we’re cooking with gas. It’s unfortunate that Barbara Gordon needs to be unconscious on a table in order to be interesting in her own comic book (let alone an AI version of her), but this is what it’s come to. And frankly, the change of pace in this month’s “Mindfield” is definitely…
Going into this issue, I expected a lot since Genevieve Valentine was back in the writer's seat. Her previous contributions to the Eternal story, Batman&Robin Eternal #7+8, were hands down my favorite section of the entire series. Unfortunately, this story is far from the gem those previous installments were. To be fair, I think that…
Bizarro and the Rogues finally come to the forefront in this floppy copy of Digital Firsts No. 9 “Objects in Mirror...” & No. 10 “The Curious Case of Bizarro Superman”. These are two threads that have been percolating quietly in the background since the start of Year Five, and it’s great to finally see how…
I used to hate puns. In my book, they were one of the lowest forms of comedy, lacking the elegance of a literary reference or the simple poetry of a well-timed fart joke. More often than not they were cringe-inducing, a statement designed for the reaction rather than the joke itself. But then I became…
Last time, on Batman '66 Meets the Man From U.N.C.L.E., the Dynamic Duo and Batgirl teamed up with those secret agents from U.N.C.L.E. to bring down T.H.R.U.S.H. With several of the Arkham Institute's worst recruited to the ranks of that villainous pack of vipers and vermin, Batman resorted to desperate measures to infiltrate their ranks: he revealed…
The Oscar’s were last night, and if you follow Batman-News on Twitter, then you basically got a play-by-play of every time Batman actor (past or present) was on stage thanks to Chris. I’m not going to lie, I was tempted to turn it into a drinking game, but decided I wanted to stay sober last…
Cat's TidBits: Lady Styx has finally gotten 'secret weapon', but will this weapon be enough to destroy our new Justice League? I'm starting to now slightly doubt where this is going... I'm feeling overwhelmed when I read this comic book. Anyone else? I suppose we'll start with the creativity of it: storyline seems to be falling…
It’s the second issue of Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted: Deadshot & Katana, and if you checked out my review for the first issue, then you know I was pretty let down. I came into this month hoping things would improve – mainly for Katana since it was so bad – and I kind of got…
Published as a two-issue limited in October and November of 1997, Elseworld's Finest takes the seeds of Batman and Superman and plants them in the soil of a World War-era, Indiana Jones-style adventure tale. With plenty of action and excitement, and appearances from an assortment of familiar DC characters, this story promises--at minimum--an interesting read. That fateful spring…
Smiley begins his gradual ascent to gang leader status as a small group of miscreants are drawn to his madness. Meanwhile, the gang of Robins goes about their mundane civilian lives, but in actuality, I found myself far more empathetic and interested in their daily grind than any of their vigilante exploits. For those of…
