2 on Batman Beyond Universe #7 reviewThe latest issue of Batman Beyond Universe features stories from two different Digital First series midway through their respective storylines. Batman Beyond 2.0 offers a deeply personal story that expands on what we know about a classic rogue while Justice League Beyond 2.0 goes for a more bombastic approach loaded with cameos from across the…
Issue #8 features two villains whose popularity didin't quite survive beyond the 1966 William Dozier TV series, but they were still quite memorable foils for the Dynamic Duo (at least in my mind). First there's King Tut (played by Victor Buono on the TV series), a professor of Egyptology who began to think he was…
Batman: Li'l Gotham started out as a year-long Digital First series that would have one chapter a month devoted to whatever holiday was on the horizon. It featured vibrant water-colors, comedy that appealed to all ages, references to classic Batman stories from comics, film, and television (with emphasis on Batman: The Animated Series), and it…
The cover shows The Metal Men and that's precisely what you get when you open up Justice League #28. Yes, Cyborg shows up briefly to ask "Who are the Metal Men?" and "Where are they now?" but other than that the entire comic is told in flashback as we explore the New 52 origin of…
I don't usually go for digital comics unless they can give me something that an old-fashioned paper comic can't. That's why I've always gravitated toward the likes of Thirllbent or DC2 titles that give the comics a more interactive feel. So when Madefire Motion Books approached Batman News to give their tech a spin with…
We've reached a turning point with the Best Batman Cover polls, folks. As you know, there's a big difference between the date that's on the cover of your comic and the date that the comic actually came out. Take New 52 - Batman #28 for example-- it came out on 2/12/14 but the comic says…
Ka-Pow! Zap! Bang! This trade paperback collects Silver Age comics that inspired episodes of the high camp TV series of the swinging sixties including issues featuring such important moments in Bat-history as the first appearance of The Riddler, Mr. Freeze, and Batgirl! Content The book begins with an unexpected, but wonderfully written 2-page introduction by…
Two-Face, Brainiac, Man-Bat, King Tut, and Metal Men. It's going to be a busy week. Here’s the full list of review comics out this week, February 19th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I downright dread reading and if I wasn’t a reviewer, I would never buy it.…
In Year One of Injustice, the world changed. In Year Two, those responsible for the new world actually have to live in it. The landscape of Injustice gets all the grander in issue #2 where the significance of Superman's actions are put into perspective when The Guardians of Universe turn their eye to our pale…
Batgirl doesn't bother making a gentle segue from last month's Gothtopia tie-in to its latest storyline and that will make for an awkward transition when these comics finally go to trade paperback, but if we set that complaint aside then I think this is a good jumping-on point for an all-new arc that features an…
Come celebrate All Saints' Day and Daylight Savings Time in the penultimate installment of Li'l Gotham, the all-ages book that longtime fans and little kids reading about the bat-family for the first time can both enjoy. Li'l Gotham has a formula down: have beautiful water colors with cute imagery and short-stories that are silly yet…
The latest Digital First issue of the acclaimed Batman Beyond 2.0 goes on sale tomorrow, February 15th, and you can find an exclusive preview of the latest chapter in The Bat Men Saga right here at Batman News! When the Bureau sends in an elite special forces team to take down Langstrom, Terry and Bruce…
With the Nightwing series ending at issue #30, it appears that writer Kyle Higgins is trying to tie up all loose ends and craft a finale that brings us up to date with Forever Evil while celebrating the past 28 issues. The first 1/3 of the comic is essentially one large fight scene that tosses…
"Gotham Eternal" is a clever approach at the notorious "filler issue." Quite simply, Batman artist Greg Capullo needed more time to complete the next installment of Zero Year but rather than delay the comic or submit something that wasn't up to the team's usual stellar quality the folks behind Batman hired James Tynion IV as…
Mark Doyle will serve as the new group editor of all Batman titles following Mike Marts' departure fromDC for Marvel last month. Doyle is most well-known for bringing Scott Snyder to DC Comics and for his work editing such comics as American Vampire, Northlanders, The Wake, Scalped, DMZ, Sweet Tooth, and Before Watchmen. Here is Doyle's twitter…
This 100-page spectacular serves as a Harley Quinn greatest hits collection, but unfortunately doesn't feature the one story everyone wants to see most: Mad Love. I'll give you a rundown of all the stories compiled behind Alex Ross' iconic cover. Batman: Harley Quinn #1 The main event. This one-shot by Paul Dini and Yvel Guichet…
We've reached the end of Batman: Black and White and it pleases me to say that it finishes strong with some of the best stories featured in the entire 6-part collection. As always, these are stories that take place outside of any continuity so anyone can pick it up. It's an anthology series packed with…
Batman Eternal teasers, the build to Nightwing's goodbye begins, Batgirl gets a new baddie, and more! Here's the full list of review comics out this week, February 12th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I downright dread reading and if I wasn’t a reviewer, I would never buy…
It's the Night of Owls crossover event meets David Finch's "Knight Terrors" from Batman: The Dark Knight and if you've seen both of those then you can probably stop reading the review right there because that pretty much sums it up. But if what I said means nothing to you, basically it's a comic full…
Whose idea was it to change the colors on this cover? The dark blue drowns out the metallic grey of Batwing's armor. The covers of Batwing have been phenomenal lately and I was especially looking forward to this one, but now that it's blue? It just doesn't pop! It doesn't stand out the way the…
