14 on Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders reviewHoly role reprisal, Batman! Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar return as television's Batman, Robin, and Catwoman in the all-new animated movie Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. The original film from Warner Bros. Animation sees Batman and Robin continue their courageous crusade against crime, all set within the universe of the beloved and…
I’ll be the first one to admit that Titans is not a title I get excited to read. So far, Abnett has delivered a less-than-stellar story, and it only makes it worse when you compare this title to the Rebirth special that preceded it – and even more so considering Wally is the focus of…
All you need to do is look at the credits page for this issue of Batman Beyond, and that alone should convince you that this chapter will be well worth $2.99! I mean, come on! Who could turn this down? Batman (Bruce Wayne) is chained to the front of a freaking snow plow!…
If you're like me and love these characters to the point that you're happy with a story even if it's just about them sitting around having dinner together, then you're going to have a good time with this chapter. No, they don't have dinner together, but it is just a bunch of talking with nothing…
Writers Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti invoke the spirit of British 80s sensation Frankie Goes to Hollywood in this issue titled “Relax, Undo it!”. Among the lyrics for the original song (called “Relax”) is a verse that intones: “Live those dreams/Scheme those schemes” which probably sums up Harley’s joie de vivre pretty well. The title…
Aw yeah, Super Powers! The fantastic team of Art Baltazar and Franco are back to deliver wonderful all-ages adventures for your enjoyment. In the vein of the spectacular Tiny Titans and Superman Family Adventures, Super Powers is innocent, charming, and fun. It may also be one of the best team books DC is publishing today, and…
Damian Wayne has the ingredients for a truly super super-team, but he started himself at a disadvantage by kidnapping them all. Rather than appeal to their better angels, he cynically tricked and swiped his would-be teammates and then attempted to motivate them through insults and fear. How on Earth can the fledgling Teen Titans stand…
The “Beyond Burnside Finale” brings Hope Larson’s first Batgirl story to its conclusion. Right up front there’s a lot of cool action in this comic as Batgirl has to work out how to take down Teacher with her enhanced mental/physical abilities. Right up front I’ll say that I liked her solution. Right up front I’ll…
Following possibly its best singular run of issues, Grayson returns for its penultimate collection. Collecting Robin War #1-2 and Grayson #13-16, A Ghost in the Tomb covers Agent 37's adventures in Gotham and abroad as he goes from training new We Are Robin recruits to uncovering the lingering mysteries of Spyral. Robin War (Robin War…
Hijinks ensue as Beast Boy gains a new power: the ability to smell the future. ...wait, what? Huh. So I did read it right. Alrighty. This story is so, so goofy, and at first I thought it would be a mild diversion at best. The concept is dumb and kind of a throwaway, one-joke idea,…
In this issue of Suicide Squad, everyone goes crazy! Well, crazier than normal anyway. That naturally makes the issue itself crazy as well. Er… Also more crazy than usual. It’s crazy squared, or something like that. Look, I’m starting to hear a lot of little voices, so just know that there’s a whole lot of…
Batman #11 is better than the previous issue...but not by much. We get a continuation of the Catwoman narrative that seems to be cementing this new take as legitimate, some off-the-wall humor, and additional Catwoman antics that are sure to have any hardcore fan throwing their hands up in despair and bewilderment. From my understanding,…
There will come a day, if it hasn't arrived already, where Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason's names will be listed among the greatest comic book collaborative teams. With their work on the consistently excellent Batman and Robin and the one-two punch of the near-perfect Superman #10 and this week's not-quite-as-great-but-still-really-really-good Superman #11, Tomasi and Gleason…
Last month, our heroes found themselves observers in Superman's past. Clark got to see his father again—got to save him—and the unexpected journey seemed a serendipitous blessing for the Man of Steel. But things were not quite as serene as they seemed, and by the end, Poison Ivy revealed herself (to us, at least) as…
Optimism is a virtue. It's a trait that can be cast in an unfavorable light, coming off as hokey or unrealistic, but it's still a virtue. The idea that you can look at something or someone and believe the best about a situation is, to an increasingly cynical world, silly and naive, making optimism seem…
Last time we saw the Justice League, they were getting the pants hacked off of them by some mysterious digital assailant. Batcave, Cyborg—even Green Lantern—all systems infiltrated, all systems being turned against the League. SOME SPOILERS AHEAD Let's start with what I like... So here's what happens: Bruce comes out from the Batcave rubble, the rest…
Think of your favorite cartoons from when you were a kid. If you grew up in the late Eighties and early Nineties, chances are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Batman: The Animated Series are on that list. Maybe one, probably both. At least, I know that was the case for me. I loved the Turtles…
The Victim Syndicate has finally crashed the party. But who are they? What do they want? What is their beef with Batman? And where can I get one of those fancy Foxtech flying cars? (What? It's 2016. We should have flying cars by now.) The Fight I didn't buy the standoff that took place between…
I’m making it official. I’ve lost hope in Batgirl & the Birds of Prey. There will be no more optimism from this guy, because it’s only going to frustrate me more each month. You all know that I really want to like this title. I’m a champion for the Birds of Prey brand, and Huntress…
Do you love Batman: The Animated Series? What a silly question, of course you do. Do you miss seeing the character designs gracing television and the printed page? And not the New Batman Adventures designs, or even the ones from the Justice League cartoon, but the classic blue highlights/yellow chest symbol Batman? How about Nickelodeon's…
