18 on Upcoming Comics September 10, 2025Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! When this post goes live on September 6th, it will be Batman News' 15th anniversary! I base that date off of Chris Begley's original one year birthday post, (there are a few posts on the site that are dated before the stated first date, though I assume they may have…
This upcoming Wednesday, erupting from the events of H2SH, comes DC's first-ever in-continuity, mature readers, ongoing Red Hood series! The creative team behind this new series is writer Gretchen Felker-Martin, artist Jeff Spokes, and letterer Becca Carey. Jason Todd has left Gotham and Batman behind him. All he's taking with him is his costume, his…
The first issue of Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League did a great job hooking the reader (a.k.a yours truly) in well and truly. An interesting premise, combined with decent reasoning and character work, did a lot of heavy lifting in keeping my interest. Add on some amazing art from Nicola Scott and Anette…
The assassin from the Unburied has fallen. Now, Batgirl and her brother, the Jade Tiger, must face a new adversary from the Blood of Wu. But unbeknownst to Cassandra, this new foe has a proposition for her. Will Cass embrace this proposal or will it turn deadly if she refuses? Batgirl #11 concludes “The Three…
The first issue of any new run is always a daunting task, especially when that comic's a renumbering of DC's flagship title. In a little over 20 pages, a writer needs to define their version of the character and what readers should expect going forward. Not only does that mean establishing the tone and status…
Who are the Legion of Super-Heroes, DC’s time-traveling team from the 31st century? Learn about their origins, key members, and a lot more. Before the Justice League was even a concept in their world, the 31st century had its own teenage defenders of peace and galactic order: the Legion of Super-Heroes. A sprawling team of…
The superstitious and cowardly may fear the bat, but the ladies love billionaire playboy, Bruce Wayne. Admittedly, Bruce Wayne is a handsome, rich, and mysterious guy, but writers have made the hero notoriously hard to love. Typically, his parental trauma, the solitude of his mission, and his self-serious attitude are the go-to excuses keeping him…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I won't beat around the bush, obviously the big Batman news worth talking this week is the new Batman #1. Every time a new writer is brought onto Batman it becomes a huge deal and people start setting up a wide array of expectations. Over the past decade, that often…
After a playful, adventurous break for another installment of Gotham City Sirens, your favorite psycho psychiatrist is back to continue smashing the achingly modern twin threats of Unrequited Love and Gentrification. While baking pies for the upcoming Throatcutter hill neighborhood block party, asks her neighbors (as well as her possible-hallucination floating external brain) for advice…
This coming Wednesday, Matt Fraction kicks off not only his run on Batman, but also a complete renumbering of the title (the third in the series' history). While the previous run actually won't be finished until October, the two will run concurrently until Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb conclude their H2SH story. Regardless, Fraction's Batman promises…
While in the midst of struggling to figure out what kind of crime fighter he wants to be, Jason has aligned himself with the ruthless vigilante, Wraith. Can Batman steer Jason back on the right path or is his fate set in stone? Issue #3 of Robin & Batman: Jason Todd concludes this miniseries by…
In another space and time, Batman patrols the universe as apart of a team of intergalactic monster hunters. At least, he used to be! In fact, the first issue of Kyle Higgins (Radiant Black) and Matt Groom's (Mighty Morphin) Immortal Legend Batman, begins with the hunt for Bruce Wayne. Deep in space, readers meet Wayne…
So now that We are Yesterday is literally yesterday’s news, we return to your regularly scheduled Justice League Unlimited programming Uh, what’s that? We have another event coming up? And the League will be a part of it? Including this issue? So it never ends? Well at least the content makes me feel like its…

Don't look now, but DC Comics is providing a first look at Kyle Higgins and Matt Groom's Immortal Legend Batman #1. Taking inspiration from Japanese Tokusatsu series like Ultraman and Power Rangers, Immortal Legend turns Batman into a new type of hero. According to the preview, perhaps, this is a hero without Bruce Wayne! In…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! The big news this week is almost certainly the new Lego Batman game they just announced. Taking all of the different movie adaptations and Frankensteining them into one story told through Lego is an interesting approach. Obviously using the movies as a base is nothing new for Lego games, but…
For those who have kept up with the current Gotham by Gaslight series, and my reviews of it, you should know one thing: this series has felt like continual set up. The whole first 6 issue miniseries felt like set up for the Justice League, and the first issue of A League for Justice felt like set up for the…
Nite-Mite, Nightwing's biggest fan, transforms into a monster and interdimensional building against his will. Consequently, this traps Oracle and tween Bryce Moran inside of what used to be Titans Tower. Inside the entity, Nightwing faces several monstrous perversions of his life and inspirations. This includes a delusional version of Van-Zee, the original Kryptonian Nightwing. Now,…
Remember that HBO show Westworld? The one that started off strong but then the creative team got a bad case of the “I-need-to-be-smarter-than-my-viewers”-itis? For those who don’t know or have forgotten, the premise of that show was in extremely simplified terms was if humanity creates artificial life to do its bidding (which in an HBO…

In four major stories, readers get a glimpse of the compassion and heroic intentions driving the character. One story after another, Tec' #1100 unites several creative teams to deliver a supersized snapshot of the famous hero. Let's discuss…
