0 on Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #42 reviewLast month I said that the strongest parts of the story were less about the plot and more about the fun Bizarro premise. Well this issue seems to have taken that to heart, as it almost entirely leans into exploring the different aspects of the Bizarro world. It gets to the point where it runs…
Something that Absolute Batman focused on in its first arc was using its villain to both create parallels with Batman and also subvert traditional expectations for the characters. This new Bane origin story shows that what was true for Black Mask is even more so for him. His story is a sympathetic tragedy that acts…
Magic in the DC Universe isn't just about cool costumes and backwards spells. It's ancient, chaotic, and downright terrifying in the wrong hands. Some characters tap into this mystical force to protect the world. Others use it to bend reality to their will. Either way, these seven magic users are among the most powerful—and dangerous—in…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Release schedules have shifted around a bit the past few months, meaning that we get a ton of Bat books all on the same day. So let us not waste any time and jump right in! Upcoming Comics Absolute Batman #11 Learn the origin of Bane! What drives the muscle-bound…
Since 2006, New York Comic Con has been a staple in the yearly Comic Con circuit. Every year, thousands of fans can gather at NYCC to buy exclusive goodies, meet artists and writers, and of course, attend panels to find out more about upcoming comics, movies and tv shows. Now, we finally get to get…
Writing reviews can get repetitive. When you’re lucky enough to be covering the best Batman comic in years, then things can start to get really repetitive. I’m happy to come on here every month and declare Dan Watters and Hayden Sherman’s “Dark Patterns”, wrapping up its third and best chapter, the best and most consistent…
The DCAU is much beloved for its original characters. Harley Quinn, Renee Montoya, Livewire, the list goes on. My favourite though, will always be Terry McGinnis, Batman Beyond (or for us over in the UK or Australia, Batman of the Future.) I suppose it's good luck then that DC have just announced a brand new…
The conclusion to the “Memento” arc is finally here! Now Damian is in a race against time to save his father and Lieutenant Lautrec from Memento. Or is it just a trap to lure Damian, so Memento can claim his true target? It’s been a long journey to get here, but the last couple of…

Welcome to From the Batman News Desk, a new series of op-eds and articles covering various aspects of Batman history. Each week one of the Batman News writers will share their thoughts on Batman characters and concepts across comics, film, television, and more. Twenty-five years ago, a one-shot Batman story came out off the tail…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I was looking into the upcoming AMC Batman screenings because I thought it would be a fun thing to do with my friends. I guess it's because it's part of their "Dolby Digital" screens, but tickets were $20 a person! That's obscene. The movie is over 30 years old, and…
When we last left Cassandra, she sought out guidance from Bronze Tiger. What she found out was that she has a secret half-brother named Tenji Turner, a.k.a. The Jade Tiger! While still processing this shocking revelation, an assassin from the Unburied has come to kill Batgirl and any offspring from Lady Shiva. How will Cass…
Sometimes as a comic book fan you get a good feeling about a book. Oftentimes that feeling dissipates after reading it, but every now and then, you get to read something that matches or at least reaches close to your initial expectations. So yeah I really like the first issue of Cheetah and Cheshire Rob…
The spirit of Denny O'Neil lives on this November as three characters he famously brought to life in the 70s and 80s team up in Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia. DC's most hard-boiled vigilantes will come together in this four-issue, Black Label series by writer/artist Gabriel Hardman (Invisible Republic, Green Lantern: Earth One). The mature story…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Normally this would be a week where we would lead off with the latest issue of Batman, but thanks to numerous delays, there is no Batman this month. This means the two runs will overlap and there will be two Batman issues coming out in both September and October. It's…
Sonic's having a pretty good run of things at the moment, huh? He's got a pretty sweet new racing game coming out, a very popular film and TV franchise, a Magic card set, and that's all without mentioning this crossover. This series has really grown on me. When I read the first issue, I think…
The Last Halloween returns after three-month break with issue #8. For this issue, Becky Cloonan steps in to do the interior artwork. This sequel series to The Long Halloween has been really hit-or-miss for me so far, so does this issue get my interest back on the right track? Let’s get into it. Issue #8…
Watters and Francavilla reteam in Nightwing 2025 Annual #1 to drop the 4-11 on Olivia Pearce and the Zanni. To do so, Watters picks and prods at their backstories with detective work by Commissioner Maggie Sawyer. As her footwork illuminates more dark truths, the nature of the Cirque Du Sin and their master plan becomes…
So this comic is an interesting one for multiple reasons. It is a rebranded version of the old Justice League Quarterly, except this time each of these issues are getting #1s instead of being labeled under a single series. This might actually help sales as readers are unlikely to remember a random series coming out…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! With the recent announcement of Knightfight, we add yet another story where Batman has to fight his family. This is becoming far too common of an occurrence. People who prefer Batman work alone don't want so many stories focused on his extended family, and fans of the characters don't want…
Welcome back my fellow historians! In this month's issue of New History, we're tackling a time and events I'm slightly more familiar with. The founding of the JL, The Teen Titans, heck, maybe even a Crisis! Can the book provide a definite answer to the age old question of what's canon or not? Read on and…
