15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

Cat's TidBits: Part three of 'City of Yesterday' and we're still dealing with the Splicers, but things have gotten just a little bit interesting. And by interesting, I mean, VERY. This is always the first thing that I want to mention when I'm reviewing Batman Beyond, but the Post-Apocalyptic world is such a good look to it.…
Once a month, I'll be writing about the things I'm reading in which Batman is (gasp) absent. My hope is that I can turn you on to some good stuff that maybe you wouldn't have checked out otherwise. Or maybe I'm too weird and you won't dig anything I pick. Either way, be sure to…
So I’m reading Midnighter this morning, and I have the local news on the TV for background noise. While I’m reading, they start covering politics and discuss Donald Trump and some of his brash behavior/ comments… and it’s right as Midnighter is up to his typical behavior in this issue. Specifically: My mind immediately went…
Okay folks! Now we’re cooking with gas. It’s unfortunate that Barbara Gordon needs to be unconscious on a table in order to be interesting in her own comic book (let alone an AI version of her), but this is what it’s come to. And frankly, the change of pace in this month’s “Mindfield” is definitely…
Going into this issue, I expected a lot since Genevieve Valentine was back in the writer's seat. Her previous contributions to the Eternal story, Batman&Robin Eternal #7+8, were hands down my favorite section of the entire series. Unfortunately, this story is far from the gem those previous installments were. To be fair, I think that…
Bizarro and the Rogues finally come to the forefront in this floppy copy of Digital Firsts No. 9 “Objects in Mirror...” & No. 10 “The Curious Case of Bizarro Superman”. These are two threads that have been percolating quietly in the background since the start of Year Five, and it’s great to finally see how…
I used to hate puns. In my book, they were one of the lowest forms of comedy, lacking the elegance of a literary reference or the simple poetry of a well-timed fart joke. More often than not they were cringe-inducing, a statement designed for the reaction rather than the joke itself. But then I became…
Last time, on Batman '66 Meets the Man From U.N.C.L.E., the Dynamic Duo and Batgirl teamed up with those secret agents from U.N.C.L.E. to bring down T.H.R.U.S.H. With several of the Arkham Institute's worst recruited to the ranks of that villainous pack of vipers and vermin, Batman resorted to desperate measures to infiltrate their ranks: he revealed…
Cat's TidBits: Lady Styx has finally gotten 'secret weapon', but will this weapon be enough to destroy our new Justice League? I'm starting to now slightly doubt where this is going... I'm feeling overwhelmed when I read this comic book. Anyone else? I suppose we'll start with the creativity of it: storyline seems to be falling…
It’s the second issue of Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted: Deadshot & Katana, and if you checked out my review for the first issue, then you know I was pretty let down. I came into this month hoping things would improve – mainly for Katana since it was so bad – and I kind of got…
Published as a two-issue limited in October and November of 1997, Elseworld's Finest takes the seeds of Batman and Superman and plants them in the soil of a World War-era, Indiana Jones-style adventure tale. With plenty of action and excitement, and appearances from an assortment of familiar DC characters, this story promises--at minimum--an interesting read. That fateful spring…
Smiley begins his gradual ascent to gang leader status as a small group of miscreants are drawn to his madness. Meanwhile, the gang of Robins goes about their mundane civilian lives, but in actuality, I found myself far more empathetic and interested in their daily grind than any of their vigilante exploits. For those of…
Let’s be direct for a minute. If you’re reading this review, then you’re probably already reading Justice League at the moment… So I doubt you’re here to see if this issue is worth picking up, and you’re actually here to just discuss the issue… But IF you’re not reading Justice League at the moment… ……
As an event, Convergence may have been a bust, but it managed to pull off quite a remarkable feat: it made tie-ins worth reading. In fact, it could be argued that the real joy in the event wasn't the main title itself, but seeing beloved characters back on the page once more, having new adventures…
When I saw, months ago, that Greg Pak would be writing Teen Titans for a few issues, I allowed myself a measure of cautious optimism. While far from my favorite writer, Pak at least entertains, and at times he has even managed to delight me. So now that Teen Titans #17 has hit the stands, how did…
Think back to when it was first announced that Dick Grayson would become a spy following the events of Forever Evil. What were your thoughts and feelings? Relief? Confusion? "Way to spoil the ending, guys"? Personally, I was just glad he was going to live to see another day, as he's been one of my…
The origin of Mother, paired with some of the best Batman snippets I've seen in months. Do I really need to say anything else? I don't think so....but I'm going to. Batman isn't even the main course of this particular chapter, but he completely steals the show as far as I'm concerned. Every single piece…
It's been a while since we've checked in with the Dark Knight universe, so a bit of a recap may be in order: in the surprisingly decent* debut, we were reintroduced to the world that was established in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns and kind of reminded of a few things from but mostly glossed…
Like a lot of folks, my first experience with The Dark Knight in film was Tim Burton's 1989 Batman. I cannot recall whether or not I saw it in the theater (I was, after all, the tender age of six), but I do remember it being an exciting part of my childhood once my grandmother got ahold…
The journey to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been a long one, but the wait is finally over. Now that the film's release is just a little over a month away, the promotional game has kicked into high gear to sate everyone's appetite while we wait for the film to premiere. From surprisingly…
