32 on Catwoman #57 reviewThe Gotham War continues this week in the aftermath of Batman #137’s final page reveal. Vandal Savage now owns Wayne Manor and Batman is not happy about it. Of course, we also pick up on Catwoman’s perspective a little more this month, as it is her title, but the narrative keeps them both front and…
Oh my god! We’re almost done! This mini-series just keeps getting worse and this is by far its least interesting issue. I wouldn’t even recommend this to kids anymore. Libraries, jump out while you still can!Stories like these are exactly why I gave the first Birds of Prey issue a 6/10. DC has burnt me…
Welcome back to another week of upcoming comics! You know what's funny? Since taking over this position I've realized just how much of DC's output is Batman related. In any given week at least half of the titles will be ones that we cover here at Batman-News, and almost all (if not every single) graphic…
Jackson here, once again filling in for Cam. I listed this issue as my "Most Excited" in this week's Upcoming Comics, and boy I don't regret it. Despite its ridiculous premise, this story wonderfully continues the character focus established in the first issue. There are still plenty of convention-related hijinks and action, but the heart…
Here we are with the final issue of the Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries! The story at hand focuses on Batman Beyond aka Terry McGinnis and seems to bring Mystery, Inc. to the future for an explosive final mystery. This series has led to plenty of ups and downs in quality so let’s get into it…
Another ongoing Bat book…. Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. As unenthused as I am about the prospect in theory, I do have to admit there is something about this series I’m looking forward to and that is Damian. Specifically, Josh Williamson’s Damian. The best thing I’ve ever read from Williamson’s pen is his Robin…
Eisner award-winning writer and artist Rafael Grampá drags readers into a scrappy thriller set within a new kind of Gotham. In Gargoyle of Gotham, Batman faces two equally creepy serial killers in a corrupt city. However, as Batman uncover the darkness of the city, he begins to exposes the darkness within himself. A City of…
Batman Incorporated began with Batman's faith in Ghost-Maker to lead in his stead. Unfortunately, the challenge of keeping his promise to Batman pushes him to his limits. After unsuccessfully handling "Vengeance Inc." and now "Joker Incorporated," Ghost-Maker faces the reality that he may not be able to live up to Batman's expectations after all. Some…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It looks like the weeks-long heat wave is finally starting to die down (at least where I live) and hot weather Summer is coming to an end. Soon it will actually start feeling like Fall and all that entails. That means changing leaves, brisk evenings, and of course, Halloween. It's…
Oh my god, it actually came out on schedule. This week on: Geoff Johns just kinda does whatever… You guessed it! Geoff Johns just kinda does whatever! This issue focuses on the lost kids that are Johns’ new pet project: sidekicks to the JSA that no one remembered until just now because… time travel! The…
Oh man am I excited to see where this story goes! Birds of Prey is a thrilling comic with lots of cool characters gearing up to rescue Dinah’s sister Sin and possibly everyone in the universe as the stakes increase at the last second.I love the team dynamic Kelly Thompson introduces once most of the…
So our fellow reviewer Theresa Campagna has given me this unfortunate wreck of a comic to review. I had to catch up and watch as she slowly turned bitter towards what has been an endless barrage of nonsense known as Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing. I’m all caught up now and would definitely be…
Well, here’s Part 2 of “Gotham War,” the current crossover event running through the pages of Batman, Catwoman and a couple tie-ins. If you're curious about my thoughts on Part 1, you can check out the joint review that I wrote in collaboration with William—the current Catwoman reviewer—here. Those who have read that review will…
The first thing I noticed when I started reading this issue is that, yes, the Knight Terrors event was a totally pointless interruption to this book. Here we pick up exactly where issue 13 left off: there has been a mysterious murder committed that someone seems to want to pin on Ivy. Meanwhile, there’s the…
Listen up: the era of Matina is over and now I'm in charge. You've all had it too good for too long. Every week you were graced with her thoughtful commentary on whatever was coming out that Tuesday. Well no more. From now on you will get my incoherent ramblings and half-baked opinions, and you're…
Read past the end of the review for a final message on my time with Batman News. When I began reviewing Riddler: Year One late last year, I had a sneaking suspicion that this book was not built to be read month-to-month. In the age of the internet - especially streaming - how we release and…
Well, after the last exhausting DC event, we’re jumping straight into the next. Zdarsky and Howard are teaming up to bring us Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Battle Lines #1, which is the first part of the "Gotham War" story arc. Luckily, I’m not in this alone, as I’m joined by William (his text will be…
After two months, a miniseries, and dozens of tie-ins that took over almost every comic DC publishes, we've finally reached the end. Has Knight Terrors lived up to all the hype that prioritized it over every other story you might've been reading? Well, not really. Honestly, if you've read any of the other events that…
Hello everyone and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week is my last Upcoming Comics post, and I wanted to just say how much I’ve enjoyed sharing my thoughts here at Batman-News. I’ve had so much fun working on articles and reviews with you all and I’ll miss this going forward. This has been an…
Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic got off to a rocky start with an opening issue that fell victim to some of the previous series' worse tendencies. Now, as Terry and Kyle head deeper underground, the story becomes more personal, and thankfully it's an approach from which the story benefits greatly. The attempts at weighty deep commentary are…
