When Batman falls into a coma after repairing a satellite, Superman uses his X-ray vision to find the source of the problem and discover a microscopic spaceship lodged in The Dark Knight's brain. Unable to save Batman on his own, Superman turns to the organization known as S.H.A.D.E. and scientist Ray Palmer for help. Greg…
When the Arkham War ended, Bane was the clear victor, but his reign over Gotham proves to be a short lived one in Forever Evil Aftermath: Batman vs. Bane, a one-shot epilogue to the Arkham War mini-series and Forever Evil itself. Oh, and in case you're confused, no... no, Forever Evil still hasn't had its…
You know how every once in a while in Batman Eternal we'll cut away from the gang war or Jim Gordon to see the ghost of Deacon Blackfire or witness Jim Corrigan AKA The Spectre do something mysterious? Well, this is the issue that addresses all of the strangely supernatural aspects and it's surprisingly boring.…
There's a dead body on Bruce Wayne's doorstep and it's a death connected to a case deeply personal to the detective on the scene, Harvey Bullock. Detective Comics #31 is part 2 of the Icarus saga and picks up where issue #30 left off so be sure to pick that one up before diving in…
First of all, that's a super-cool cover. Second of all, I know I said in my review of issue #0 that things would probably be summed up pretty well in issue #1 for those who couldn't get a Free Comic Book Day copy, but it looks like I was wrong. You're going to enjoy this…
Chapter 5 doesn't really feel like any issue of Batman Eternal before it. There aren't several different subplots to follow, Batman is hardly featured at all, and almost every major storyline running through the first four issues is missing. Instead, we're turning our attention to Tim Drake and an investigation into a mysterious disease plaguing…
If you don't know what it is then you're in for a crazy freaking ride, but if you've been following the release of Futures End closely you get about what you expected, which is still pretty cool. Futures End #0 is DC Comics most talked about Free Comic Book Day release. It's the prelude to…
Jim Gordon is on trial, Stephanie Brown is on the run, and as Carmine Falcone plots to rebuild Gotham in his image another unseen enemy of The Dark Knight moves to burn everything down, it's Batman Eternal time! There are two things that might be a little misleading about the otherwise awesome cover of Batman Eternal…
Batgirl's 2nd over-sized annual issue is a worthwhile read that does much to develop a classic villain. Writer Gail Simone divides the comic by seasons and through the seasons explores the changing emotional state of Poison Ivy, who plays a major role throughout the comic, which actually begins its narrative near the launch of the…
There were enough requests for this in the comments section of the weekly Upcoming Comics article that I figured I'd talk about Batwoman this Saturday. As you know, things didn't end so well between DC Comics and the book's original writers J.H. Williams & W. Haden Blackman and as a result the 4th volume of…
A lot of good people are about to get hurt. While Batman and his rebels might be incapacitated, the might of the Green Lanterns is not turning a blind eye to Superman's takeover of planet earth and issue #4 signifies the march toward war. Ignore the ladies on the bottom half of the cover, because…
Justice Lords Beyond begins here with part 1 of the 4 part saga that sees Batman Beyond cross over with Justice League Beyond for one massively entertaining read for fans of the animated series. It's going to be hard to review this comic without giving away all the surprises, but I'll try and make it as…
While everything good is either burning, bleeding, or behind bars in Batman Eternal, you can always take a break from the darkness by picking up a copy of Batman '66, where it's summer time in Gotham and even The Dark Knight can be seen walking about in the daylight-- actually, he seems to always be…
While we wait for Cartoon Network to re-air Beware the Batman and ultimately show the 15 remaining un-aired episodes, we might as well talk a bit about Beware the Batman: Shadows of Gotham, the season one, part one Blu-ray/DVD. What Is Beware the Batman? For those who don't know, Beware the Batman is Cartoon Network's…
The Superman/Batman series has been relaunched for the New 52, but with Batman's name first and an opening storyline that explores the DC Multiverse. "Cross World" rewinds the clock to an adversarial Batman and Superman who meet for the first time on an adventure into another dimension where they encounter different incarnations of themselves who represent…
An uprising within The League of Assassins sends Talia al Ghul and her child to Gotham City, where they seek the protection of The Dark Knight. It's soon revealed that the child is Batman's very own son, but the boy has more interest in seeking revenge on the man who sacked the mountaintop stronghold of…
It hasn't aired yet at its new 3AM time slot at Cartoon Network, but you can currently find all 13 episodes of the first season including "Fall" on the Beware the Batman: Season 1 Part 1: Shadows of Gotham Blu-ray/DVD or, if you're in the UK you can watch all 26 episodes of the full series…
Last month, DC Comics published chapter 4 of a crossover called "First Contact." Today, DC Comics published chapter 3 of "First Contact." Now, who here can tell me where they went wrong? Batman/Superman is no stranger to delays, Jae Lee's artwork takes a great deal of time after all. But having the conclusion go out…
All of the clues have made Batman just as angry as the crime itself and you know what that means, it's time to go beat the living hell out of Oswald Cobblepot! Why? Because The Penguin might know something...or not! Even if he doesn't, pummeling Penguin usually clears Batman's head and inspires a brand-new hunch…
Did you like Zero Month? No, I don't mean "Zero Year" Month where we saw everybody struggling through a hurricane, I'm talking about that event in September 2012 when every DC title flashed back to their main character's early days. Well, if you did, I have good news: Secret Origins is an all-new series that tells…
