2 on Beware the Batman #1 reviewOn the same week that fans are worried about the fate of this new animated series a brand new comic book tie-in series has begun. Even though Cartoon Network has mysteriously yanked the cartoon from the airwaves until January you can still get your Beware the Batman fix with this comic book by Ivan Cohen…
Although our hero's name is emphasized twice in the title he actually doesn't appear once in these pages. In fact, Batman: The Dark Knight #24 feels more like a Villains Month release, but that's not necessarily a bad thing considering how convoluted the Clayface backstory has become over the decades with there being a grand…
Director Howard Hawks described a good movie as having "three great scenes and no bad ones." This issue of Injustice: Gods Among Us has such incredible, standout moments that I was immediately reminded of that quote upon finishing this satisfying read. Yes, there are a few blemishes here and there, but on the whole, Injustice: Gods…
While I thought we might get more answers about what happened to the Justice League it seems that this series has an all new agenda of explaining the back story behind the members of the Crime Syndicate and if future installments are half as fun as then you'll get no complaint from me. Issue #24…
It's a new arc, a new artist, and the beginning of the end for writer and creator James Tynion IV, who will be leaving the series in January. Last issue saw the conclusion of Calvin Rose and Casey Washington's assault on Santa Prisca, Bane's own private island. In the final pages Casey had been rescued…
A video game tie-in, a cartoon tie-in, the origin of Clayface, the invasion of Gotham, and the answer to what happened to the Justice League. Here are the review comics coming out this week, October 23rd, graded on a scale of my own anticipation. Hell no! – I’d rather not – Ambivalent…
Batman Beyond Universe is en fuego. It's a series on the rise and I hope it starts getting more attention because the new creative teams that took over for Batman Beyond Unlimited are elevating these properties to new heights. This issue in particular delivers a ton of action and even gives its supporting characters plenty…
The biggest flaw in Batman/Superman's first arc is that we all new from the very first page that everything that would happen over the next four issues would inevitably get swept under the rug. Justice League #1 made it clear that that particular meeting of Batman and Superman was their first so obviously there would…
Legends of the Dark Knight is dead. Long live Legends of the Dark Knight! Issue #13 might be the end of the series as we know it (monthly and at a price of $3.99) but it will return in December as the Legends of the Dark Knight 100-Page Super Spectacular, a bi-monthly comic that's extra-sized…
I doubt that the Clock King or The Mad Hatter is anyone's favorite villain from the 1966 Adam West TV series, but writer Jeff Parker and artists Jonathan Case and Sandy Jarrell dust these characters off and give them the best episodes they never had. The Hatter Takes the Crown Sick and tired of every…
Last week we saw the birth of the Joker take place in Zero Year, but it appears that the New 52 birth of Two-Face really snuck up on us! It's never explained how, but Two-Face has escaped from Arkham Asylum (he was locked up again at the end of Death of the Family and this…
The latest issue of Justice League of America by Matt Kindt and Doug Mahnke is a drawn-out and often repetitive installment that kinda-sorta answers the question "What happened to all the good guys?" On the opening page of JLA #8 we learn that Stargirl and Martain Manhunter have somehow been spared the same fate as…
A whiny Batman, a Ke$ha-esque Selina Kyle, a resurrection by cat-licking, and a demonic possession. This is Ann Nocenti & Rafa Sandoval's Catwoman and it's one of the worst things I've read. Content This softcover collects New 52 - Catwoman issues #0, 13-18. It's important to note that issue #18 was part of the Requiem…
Note: Do NOT read The Joker: Death of the Family until you have already finished Batman, Vol. 3: Death of the Family, which goes on sale October 30th. When the New 52 began in September of 2011, one of the first stories to really grab headlines was Tony Daniel's Detective Comics #1. That comic featured…
Talk about variety! This week we have Batman stories of the past, present, and future both inside and outside of continuity. Here are the review comics coming out this week, October 16th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation. Hell no! – I’d rather not – Ambivalent – Interested – TAKE…
Fan-favorite character, Stephanie Brown, will return in issue #3 of the weekly series Batman: Eternal. Earlier today at New York Comic-Con's DC All-Access Panel, a fan asked whether Stephanie Brown would return in the New 52 and Scott Snyder, the writer of Batman, replied that the fan should try asking again at the Batman panel.…
It's time to say farewell to one of the best Batman titles. Although legends of our Caped Crusader will continue to be told online every Thursday as a DC Digital First, I'm sorry to say that issue #13 shall be the last of the printed single issues of Legends of the Dark Knight... at least until…
When Karen Traviss initially took over Arkham Unhinged I was intrigued. She was shaping a smarter story and a more fully-realized Gotham City. She was even approaching the concept of Arkham City from a new angle-- that of the average Gothamite who was been displaced by the construction of the super prison. She dug deep…

It might be October for us, but Li'l Gotham is celebrating the holidays of June and July in this issue and it's just as adorable as you'd expect it to be. Minazuki What's Minazuki? It's June. Apparently there weren't any good holidays in this summer month so creators Derek Fridolfs and Dustin Nguyen just went…
