18 on Justice League #20 reviewThe Justice League goes sight-seeing—IN THE FUTURE! While Mera, Starman, and Jarro keep vigil over Mxyzptlk, and Superman rots in a dark, sandy prison, the rest of the crew travels to the Sixth Dimension to see how they won it all. Because we all believe that's what happened, right? There's nothing suspect about this Future…
Tom King makes the absolute best of derivation in this 5th installment of the endless “Knightmares” saga. Do yourselves a favor and just forget about all 66 issues leading up to this one for a moment: just flip through the pages divorced of all the baggage that precedes this and all the still-unanswered questions. Because…
Reviews and the discussions they inspire are a big part of why readers visit the Batman News comics section. So an article in which all of our reviewers engage in a discussion about that week’s titles? Why, you’d think it’s a no-brainer! And yet it took several years for the idea to cross our minds……
A silent guardian. A watchful protector. A dark knight. Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy is widely considered the greatest on-screen take on Gotham's favorite son. Sure, like any interpretation, it has its detractors, but the aggregate sentiment seems to swing Nolan's way. You can count me among the faithful, so when Diamond Select announced last year…
The prodigal prince of Gotham returns! Jason Todd has been living it up and making friends in the American heartland, and now he's come back home to share all of the goodness he picked up along the way. Batman better get ready for hugs, respect, and unconditional obedience in Red Hood: Outlaw #32. SPOILERS MAY OR MAY…
Before I start the review proper, you should know that you’ll get the most out of this comic if you’ve been following the Batman Who Laughs miniseries by Scott Snyder and Jock. While this issue is mainly devoted to fleshing out the Grim Knight’s character, it definitely reads like a chapter from the miniseries, and…
One thousand issues of Detective Comics. Eighty years of Batman. That is insane. Much like they did last year with the thousandth issue of Action Comics, DC Comics are pulling out all the stops to celebrate the 80th anniversary of perhaps their most popular character: Batman. Truly, 2019 will be the Year of the Bat,…

Welcome back to the Harley Quinn show everybody. In this month’s episode Harley is still undergoing the trials to become the Angel of Retribution for the Lords of Chaos and Order. In the past I’ve critiqued this book for making a hero out of the super-villain that is Harley Quinn without giving her some kind…
Can Doctor Manhattan truly be considered a man any longer? It's not a question that Doomsday Clock proposes, at least not directly, but in preparing for this review I began running over how I was going to describe him. "A man," I kept wanting to say, because it's an accurate descriptor. After all, before the…
The Legion of Doom has Perpetua, and they're only two dark energies short of the seven they need to wake her up! What's a Justice League to do? It's the beginning of the next piece in Scott Snyder's grand multiversal puzzle—"The Sixth Dimension" starts now, in Justice League #19! The bulk of this review originally…
With “Knightmares: Cat”, Tom King returns to bring us more of our previously scheduled Batman Psychodrama. The label utterly fits: this week’s episode is nothing if not ongoing theatrical therapy. I say that and it sounds like a criticism, but to be honest, I kind of liked this issue if for no other reason…
Jada Toys has been producing lots of DC-related merch for years, from their awesome Batmobiles, to their Nanofigs, to the stylized Metals line. Cool stuff. I've never gotten my hands on any of it until now (with the exception of some very lately-acquired BvS Metals), though. After connecting with Jada at Toy Fair, I heard…

“The Price” wraps up in this chapter of The Flash. After four issues of a “story” that fails to do exactly that – tell a story - one must simply ask the question: what was the point of this? I’ve been outspoken concerning how I feel about Josh Williamson’s approach to writing. Simply put, he’s…
I had high hopes that this issue, based on its synopsis, would finally move the mark for Heroes in Crisis. I had hoped that the “mystery” of this story would finally grow some legs and allow for plot progression. I had hoped that the various plot threads would fall into place after the set-up of…
Batgirl #32 is titled ‘Old Enemies: Finale’ but it doesn’t involve a dramatic showdown between old enemies and it doesn’t feel like the end of the story. Yes, this is the last time we’ll be seeing Cormorant for a while but (as established in my review for issue #31) he’s a new enemy. The only…
This is it, everybody! The final issue before we hit the big one-triple-aught. The bad news is, we have to wait until March 27th (a whole month!) before it gets here, and then you’re going to have to pick between literally dozens of variant covers from artists all across the spectrum. But first, let’s wrap…
Aquaman is coming to home release very soon, so it seems like as good a time as any to complete our set of Diamond Select Aquaman Gallery reviews. We've already looked at Black Manta and Arthur, so today, we turn our attention to li'l brother, Orm, the man who would be Ocean Master. But how…
