9 on New 52 - Batman/Superman #7 reviewThe cover might show Batman holding a stick of kryptonite during this bought with Superman, but I assure you it's a lot more complicated than that and if you haven't read the previous two issues you're going to be pretty lost. You see, there's no kryptonite on hand. This is a super-powered, nanobot infused Batman…
Emperor Penguin is the first Detective Comics volume out of the New 52 that's actually worth picking up. John Layman, Jason Fabok, and Andy Clarke taking the reins from the series' previous creator made for a vast improvement. The name "Detective Comics" was more famous for its nonsensical plots and unintentionally funny moments than it…
Vote for your favorite World's Finest cover of 1944! Every three weeks we'll have a poll featuring all of the covers from a particular Bat-title of 1944 until finally we pit every winner against each other and declare the Batman News community's favorite cover of 1944. Keep in mind that you’re not voting for what…
As if the mega-sized Detective Comics #27 wasn't enough, there are several other quality titles arriving in stores this Wednesday! Here are the review comics coming out this week, January 8th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The All-New Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I downright dread reading and if I wasn't…
This was really great! I don't think there's a villain I've hated more this year than Injustice Superman and he is definitely at his worst here. I'm going to mention spoilers regarding the previous issue and any spoilers from this particular issue will be hidden so if you haven't read any of this series before…
It's the end of James Tynion IV's run on the series he created and if I could say one thing about this issue it's that it's definitely not dull! Last month's episode set up a pretty explosive finale with Calvin Rose (partially) injected by a Talon-killing serum, Felix ready to torture him to death, brainwashed…
Like most of the Bat-titles, Nightwing was swept up in Snyder & Capullo's Death of the Family, but unlike many of those other tie-ins, Nightwing fared rather well. Volume 3 of the New 52 series features some of the best moments of the Joker crossover event as well as noteworthy fallout from the Batman #17…
The Joker: The Clown Prince of Crime couldn't be more timely here in Review Country. Just a week or two ago I was talking about the newly released Harley Quinn #1 and how I felt that much like the Joker, she's a character I enjoy most in small doses. In my opinion there are characters out…
Most of this review is going to go in spoiler tags and even that's going to be relatively short because it's New Year's Eve and most of my criticisms are the same as they were in the first 2 issues. To get right to the point: chapter 3 (of 4) doesn't have as many bizarre…
There have been a number of occasions in which I've told readers to pick up a copy of the soon-to-be-canceled Batman: The Dark Knight, but ignore all the words and just enjoy the visuals. Well, I can say that again with issue #26 but this time that's how the comic was actually intended to be enjoyed!…
Comics come on a Tuesday again to make way for the New Year. Our final week of 2013 comics include a silent Batman issue, the third chapter of the Damian Wayne mini-series, the final chapter of Injustice: Season One, James Tynion's farewell to Talon, and a whole fleet of other fringe titles. Here are the…
Ignore the cover. This isn't about an explosive confrontation between Luthor and Batman, it's something much more. After one chapter showing us the cataclysm and two chapters detailing who the players are, Chapter 4 "Hide and Seek" sets all the pieces in motion so that it finally feels like we're getting somewhere. Not only that,…
Issue #26 isn't just the backstory for Power Ring as many anticipated, it's a showcase of origin tales for Grid, Johnny Quick, Deathstorm, and other members of the Crime Syndicate as well and I think that gives you plenty of bang for your buck this Christmas Eve. Geoff Johns continues to leave the Justice League…
The final issue by series creator James Tynion IV won't go on sale until December 31st, but you can find Batman News' exclusive preview of issue #14 right here. Click on any image below to view in high resolution: TALON #14 Written by JAMES TYNION IV Art by EMANUEL SIMEONI Cover by EMANUEL SIMEONI On…
Comic Book Wednesday falls on Christmas this year so with all the comic shops being closed, every publisher is moving up release dates to Christmas Eve. However, since that's still pretty inconvenient for most folks, DC is only releasing 2 books this Tuesday: Forever Evil #4 and Justice League #26. Here are the review comics…
With issue #5 beginning all-new story arcs for both Batman Beyond 2.0 and Justice League Beyond, it makes for a great jumping-on point for curious new readers. Here's a brief look at what each of these opening chapters have to offer: Batman Beyond 2.0 The Bat Men: Great Expectations Batman Beyond has the honor of…
To better understand how the New 52 Two-Face came to be we must first understand the person who created him and it's not Sal Maroni. The third chapter of "The Big Burn" is one that takes us deeper into the past than ever before while simultaneously continuing the present day storyline in which Two-Face is…
DC Entertainment and Madefire have teamed up and released Batman: Arkham Origins - A DC2 MultiVerse Graphic Novel today on the iPad. The graphic novel tells the prequel story to the Batman: Arkham Origins video game. Head on over to the App Store from your iPad to download it today, and check out the press…
Granted, it's been a long time since I've seen every episode of the Batman TV series, but I had zero recollection of who "The Bookworm" was going into this issue and I like that. One of the things I've really treasured about Batman '66 so far is that writer Jeff Parker has been unafraid to…
Harley Quinn #1 is going to make somebody's day, but it just won't be me. Look, I definitely think that writers Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are delivering a better portrayal of Harley Quinn than we've seen in any other New 52 book and Chad Hardin makes a great fit for the tone of this series,…
