9 on New 52 - Batman/Superman #5 reviewAs Superman busts-up incoming asteroids from above, Batman fights one of Clark's baddies named Metal-Zero (I don't know why we aren't just calling him Metallo anymore, nor do I understand how this was possibly the best character design the New 52 had to offer-- "Grid" in Forever Evil looks the way Metallo should). However, it's…
In this Zero Year tie-in we turn out attention to Jim Gordon and I couldn't be happier to see a story centered around ol' Jimbo. However, this look back to the Year One days features some changes that clash with what we've seen in previous New 52 issues and others that feel so minor and…
I look at the cover and I get excited. The idea of watching Lex Luthor convince Black Adam, Manta, and The Rogues to team-up sounds like a lot of fun, but issue #3 goes about it in such a lazy way that it's all surprisingly forgettable and I actually found myself enjoying today's Zero Year…
Gotham is mentioned maybe a handful of times, but other than that Action Comics #25 has little to do with Zero Year. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. While it doesn't add anything important to the Zero Year story in Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo's Batman, it's still a really awesome glimpse at Clark…
Diggle. If that name means anything to you then you're probably going to love every minute spent reading Green Arrow #25. It's a fantastic little glimpse at Ollie's first moments off the island and an even more wonderful introduction of a character who was first seen on the CW series "Arrow." Diggle made a brief…
There was no better sign that Trinity War, the much hyped DC New 52 event, was coming than the launch of Justice League of America. It's the book that really started to pull the DC universe together in a big way and with it being created by the same writer of the original Justice League…
Between 2004 and 2006, a dozen of the best artists were each given 48 pages of almost total creative freedom. Any genre, any style, any DC character, any wholly original idea all their own was possible. Within this massive tome you'll not only find several great Batman short stories, but a vast range of other…
Dick Grayson returns to Gotham to pack up his things and officially make the big move to Chicago after racing off to the Windy City to track down his parents' killer a few months ago (at least in our time, it might just be a few weeks in Gotham-time). Helping him move is Barbara Gordon,…
With the new 4-part mini-series Damian: Son of Batman, Andy Kubert writes and illustrates the story that Bruce Wayne only caught a glimpse of when he foresaw a possible future in which the mantle of the bat was passed down to a child from the union of Wayne and al Ghul. Batman Inc. #5 may…
The third volume in the adventures of a secret black ops group full of B- and C-list villains features even more Harley Quinn than before, gives Yo-Yo an origin story, and ties itself not only to the Death of the Family event, but books like Team 7, Birds of Prey, and Teen Titans as well.…
The third volume of Batgirl features the crossover "Death of the Family" in its title, but unlike another New 52 graphic novel that was released this month (Catwoman, Vol. 3: Death of the Family, which only touched on the subject for a single issue) the material collected in this hardback is impacted greatly by the…
On the same week that fans are worried about the fate of this new animated series a brand new comic book tie-in series has begun. Even though Cartoon Network has mysteriously yanked the cartoon from the airwaves until January you can still get your Beware the Batman fix with this comic book by Ivan Cohen…
Although our hero's name is emphasized twice in the title he actually doesn't appear once in these pages. In fact, Batman: The Dark Knight #24 feels more like a Villains Month release, but that's not necessarily a bad thing considering how convoluted the Clayface backstory has become over the decades with there being a grand…
Director Howard Hawks described a good movie as having "three great scenes and no bad ones." This issue of Injustice: Gods Among Us has such incredible, standout moments that I was immediately reminded of that quote upon finishing this satisfying read. Yes, there are a few blemishes here and there, but on the whole, Injustice: Gods…
While I thought we might get more answers about what happened to the Justice League it seems that this series has an all new agenda of explaining the back story behind the members of the Crime Syndicate and if future installments are half as fun as then you'll get no complaint from me. Issue #24…
It's a new arc, a new artist, and the beginning of the end for writer and creator James Tynion IV, who will be leaving the series in January. Last issue saw the conclusion of Calvin Rose and Casey Washington's assault on Santa Prisca, Bane's own private island. In the final pages Casey had been rescued…
Batman Beyond Universe is en fuego. It's a series on the rise and I hope it starts getting more attention because the new creative teams that took over for Batman Beyond Unlimited are elevating these properties to new heights. This issue in particular delivers a ton of action and even gives its supporting characters plenty…
The biggest flaw in Batman/Superman's first arc is that we all new from the very first page that everything that would happen over the next four issues would inevitably get swept under the rug. Justice League #1 made it clear that that particular meeting of Batman and Superman was their first so obviously there would…
Legends of the Dark Knight is dead. Long live Legends of the Dark Knight! Issue #13 might be the end of the series as we know it (monthly and at a price of $3.99) but it will return in December as the Legends of the Dark Knight 100-Page Super Spectacular, a bi-monthly comic that's extra-sized…
I doubt that the Clock King or The Mad Hatter is anyone's favorite villain from the 1966 Adam West TV series, but writer Jeff Parker and artists Jonathan Case and Sandy Jarrell dust these characters off and give them the best episodes they never had. The Hatter Takes the Crown Sick and tired of every…
