Each week one of the Batman News writers will share their thoughts on Batman characters and concepts across comics, film, television, and more.

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. In 2005, the Batman film franchise was in a state of limbo.…
There are certain parts of the Batman mythos that are non-negotiables. Bruce Wayne has to be an orphan, for instance, he has to dress in a spooky costume to frighten superstitious and cowardly criminals, and he has to ride around in some sweet vehicles. While other aspects can vary, Batman's home base also always remains…
When I came on board the Batman-News team, I was asked about any preferred titles I wanted to review. Despite the title not existing at the time, I asked for Justice League and continued to do so over the next few months, in a manner not dissimilar to the late Keith Giffen going “Jusstisss League”…
As another year comes to a close, the holiday season is upon us once again. It’s a season of gift-giving, merriment, good cheer, and spending time with loved ones. Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for the Batman fan in your life, or you are that Batman fan hoping for the perfect gift, peruse…
When the air becomes stale and chilly on a moderate day in Gotham City, odds are, Mr. Freeze is nearby. Once, Victor Fries was a well to do scientist and allegedly a loving husband. Now, he is mostly known for his sociopathic temperature checks on the citizens of Gotham. Often, he claims his coldhearted deeds…
Batman looks cool. There is no arguing that at all, and I've even provided plenty of examples of just how cool he can look on the big screen. But Batman doesn't just look cool himself; no, his gear is super cool too. Just look at the simple, humble Batarang, which is one of the sweetest…
One of the things we love most about comics is how they connect us together, uniting fans in celebration of the medium. We don't always agree on everything, but we share a passion for comics and, specifically, Batman. With so many Batman comics being published, and many more on the way, we wanted to bring…
It's probably safe to say that there's hardly a character who has been on film more than Batman. Be it film serials, television series, movies, or cartoons, there have been countless hours of Batman media filmed, animated, broadcast, and what have you over the past nine decades. With all of those different representations come a…
Here we are once again, approaching the end of yet another year. With the holiday season upon us, surely you'll find yourself asking at least once, what gift should I get for the Batman fan in my life? Or, perhaps more accurately, you will be asked this question by others, because you are the Batman…
Up to this point, the action figure lines I've been looking at have mostly been from the '90s, with a little bit of 1980s thrown in for good measure. Today, let's jump forward a few decades to the 2010s and take a look at the toy line for the highly acclaimed animated series Young Justice.…
I sure do miss the days when you could go to a toy store and... Well, I could just leave it at that, really, since standalone toy stores are few and far between. Still, I used to love going to a store and seeing all sorts of toy lines, some of them cool, some of…
A funny thing happened while I was writing these action figure ranking posts. I took a trip down nostalgia lane with some of the lines, sure, but they also awakened memories I'd forgotten I even had. When I Googled an image to use for the last post, I was reminded of the existence of Batman:…
The '90s were a wonderful, weird time. It was the heyday of grunge music and teenybopper boy bands, an era when being a summer blockbuster actually seemed to mean something, and a time when seemingly anything could get a toy line. That was especially true for comic book characters, as we got some pretty sweet…
I don't know about you, but I'm having a blast looking at all of these old Batman toys from years past. This week we're headed back to 1992 for what might be the most divisive Batman movie, Batman Returns. Granted, there are better Batman movies, and there are worse Batman movies, but this one film…
Welcome back to what is turning into a recurring column, wherein I look at Batman toys from yesteryear and judge them (almost) solely on pictures I find on the internet. There's hardly a character out there with more action figures based on them than the Dark Knight himself, so there's plenty of toyetic goodness to…
One of the best things about getting a new Batman movie is all of the cool new toys, collectibles, and other merchandise released in stores. These days, there are definitely some impressive pieces to be had-- that Jim Lee-inspired The Batman statue from McFarlane is one of my favorite Batman collectibles I own-- but there's…
There will always be new Batman products, be it toys or books or comics or any number of other collectibles. Go into practically any store and you’ll find something with Batman on it, even if it’s a shirt or some bedsheets. Batman is a pop culture force, and with that comes endless opportunities for merchandising.…
