“Better Nuthead than Red” Issue number 6 closes out a story spanning the last three issues which teams the Mistress of Mischief with octogenarian cold war spy Sy Borgman (codename: Syborg) against such deadly aged Russian femme fatales as Ivana Brekemoff and Zena Bendemova. And if you’re already rolling your eyes, maybe this isn’t the…
In my eyes Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato have captured the quintessential Dark Knight for the New52. Seeing as how Detective Comics bears the name of the entire publisher empire that is DC Comics I have often wondered why it wasn't given more attention by the editors running DC. It's no secret that the Batman…
Print issue No. 5 collects the Digital Firsts 9 & 10, “The Road to War” and “The First Battle”. There’s been a lot of ramp up to this point with what has felt like a lot of exposition, but this is the moment in which the payoff starts pulling into the station and we get…
Choosing the right group of writers was an arduous task that took much longer than expected, but I think you'll all be very pleased with the results. There were over 40 applicants and initially Chris and I had only planned on selecting 5 for the Batman News Review Team, but with so many terrific people…
Earlier this year, DC Comics declared July 23rd as "Batman Day" and to celebrate they'll be releasing a free special edition of Detective Comics #27, containing material from both the 1939 original and the New 52 offering from earlier this year. And for the first time, Batman co-creator Bill Finger will receive cover credit (pictured…
Want to join the Batman News team as a comic book reviewer? Here's how: Step #1 I'm looking for a team of hardcore Batman fans with free-time on Wednesdays to write commentary on all of the Batman comics and I mean all of them! An over-abundance of available comic books (and rumors of even more…
In almost 3 years, not a single week has gone by in which I haven't written at least 2,000 words on The Dark Knight, but this run comes to an end now. My time as the weekly comic book reviewer here at Batman News is drawing to a close for many reasons. There are too…
Yes, you read that right. Forever Evil finally came to a close today after suffering numerous delays that made it a pretty miserable reading experience for folks who frequent the local comic shop, but I think the trade-wait crowd should enjoy what Geoff Johns and David Finch crafted here. Overall, Forever Evil is a fun…
In the wake of a hero's death, Futures End deals much with the theme of responsibility and those who choose to run from it. While last week's installment focused primarily on the funeral for (and I'm going to spoil it here so if you don't want to know then I suggest... you... leave... now...) Green…
NOTE: I'm going to spoil the final page of the previous issue, there's no way around it. If you plan on reading issue #1, turn back now. So the last issue ended with Firestorm showing up too late to save Green Arrow and now all of our heroes must attend the funeral. I say all,…
Alysia, Barbara's roommate, is raiding a corporate building with a small group of activists when they are accosted by the villain known as Ragdoll. Meanwhile, Barbara Gordon is summoned to the hospital by her kind-of/sort-of boyfriend Ricky, who may be looking to break-up with Barbara. This issue sees the return of Gail Simone to writing…
On Monday, DC Comics released their list of August solicitations and Batwing, Birds of Prey, and All-Star Western all read "FINAL ISSUE." However, it should be noted that Batwing and Birds of Prey will still have special Futures End #1 issues in September, like all other New 52 titles that month. ALL-STAR WESTERN #34 Written…
If you didn't read the latest issue of Batman Beyond Universe, then I suggest you rush out to the comic shop and catch up before this Wednesday's release of "Justice Lords Beyond," a sequel of sorts to one of Justice League: The Animated Series' finest episodes, "A Better World." Here is Batman News' exclusive preview…
Great Caesar's Ghost! There are a lot of comics coming out this week. You name it, it's out there! Not one, but two Batman Beyond comics (a first), the end of Forever Evil, a long overdue Justice League that actually features the whole team, Batman '66, Eternal, Scribblenauts, Lobo, Batgirl, Justice League of America, on…
When Batman falls into a coma after repairing a satellite, Superman uses his X-ray vision to find the source of the problem and discover a microscopic spaceship lodged in The Dark Knight's brain. Unable to save Batman on his own, Superman turns to the organization known as S.H.A.D.E. and scientist Ray Palmer for help. Greg…
When the Arkham War ended, Bane was the clear victor, but his reign over Gotham proves to be a short lived one in Forever Evil Aftermath: Batman vs. Bane, a one-shot epilogue to the Arkham War mini-series and Forever Evil itself. Oh, and in case you're confused, no... no, Forever Evil still hasn't had its…
You know how every once in a while in Batman Eternal we'll cut away from the gang war or Jim Gordon to see the ghost of Deacon Blackfire or witness Jim Corrigan AKA The Spectre do something mysterious? Well, this is the issue that addresses all of the strangely supernatural aspects and it's surprisingly boring.…
The all-new DC Designer Series: Greg Capullo Batman, Talon, Nightwing, and Riddler figures can be purchased online and at your local comic shop as of today, May 14th. Every 6-7-inch character is modeled after all-star artist Greg Capullo's work on the New 52 Batman series and crafted by professional statue and action figure sculptor Jonathan…
A time-traveling Terry McGinnis fights to save the future, Batman teams up with The Spectre as Gotham is swallowed in gang war, and someone is tapping Barbara Gordon's phone, which doesn't sound quite as dire as the other two examples, but still those are the stories coming your way this Wednesday! Here’s the full list…
There's a dead body on Bruce Wayne's doorstep and it's a death connected to a case deeply personal to the detective on the scene, Harvey Bullock. Detective Comics #31 is part 2 of the Icarus saga and picks up where issue #30 left off so be sure to pick that one up before diving in…
