6 on Joker: Killer Smile #1 reviewI first discovered Sorrentino on I, Vampire, and I became a fan of his work pretty much right away. I have been following him from project to project ever since. Lemire is one of those creators I have always had mad respect for, seeing as this guy writes a ton of books and even finds…
The first issue of Harleen is excellent, and, frankly, much better than it even needed to be. In my review I praised it for giving us a more down-to-earth and serious version of Harley, instead of the erratic, out-of-control, happy-go-lucky prankster that we see in the main comic series. Usually I end these introductions with…
And so we arrive at DCeased’s conclusion. This has been a fast-paced series, and that pacing has been a strength and a weakness. On the one hand, Taylor can’t afford to waste a single panel and has chosen his story beats wisely, but on the other hand, this is a typical case where clearly the…
When there’s trouble, you know who to call... The Teen Titans, of course. Close to a decade and a half after they went off the air-- and a year after being teased at the end of the delightfully silly Teen Titans Go! To the Movies--the stars of the Teen Titans television series are back and…
It’s no surprise that the DC Animated universe would find its way back to a Wonder Woman solo film after the success of Patty Jenkins’ 2017 Wonder Woman. Jenkins’ film showed the cinematic potential of Diana Prince and smartly focused on her origins and first experiences in the world outside Themyscira. Wonder Woman: Bloodlines follows…
It’s hard, if not outright impossible, to make a definitive and comprehensive record of something that hasn't reached a stopping point. Even if you cover as much historical background as possible, you will never reach a true ending because... well, there will be more to tell. Sure, you can focus on a certain timeframe or…
Let me just get this out of the way: Dwayne Johnson has HUGE boots to fill. I’m not some cinema snob who can’t enjoy stuff such as Jumanji – it’s a fun, lighthearted movie, and The Rock brings a level of charm to his performances that’s hard to shake. I like him well-enough as an…
Batgirl has been busy trying to figure out who Lex Luthor made an offer to and attempting to quell the chaos caused by his Year of the Villain. Oracle --now brought to life by Luthor-- has been equally busy, searching for the creator who abandoned her. With Burnside on fire, the two are on track…
Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond is in a transitional state after the previous arc has left Terry with amnesia and has introduced a mystery newcomer who’s taking over the Batman mantle. Although the series is nearing forty issues, most of the run has succeeded primarily due to the likable and well defined ensemble cast Jurgens established.…
Since issue #1 I have been having mixed feelings about this series. There are things that I enjoy, and then there are things that I really dislike. This third issue doesn’t do anything to change my overall opinion on the series so far, as it manages to entertain me about as much as it manages…
Things don't look so good for Jim Gordon. Stabbed by Azrael, dropped from a building, and left for dead, his prognosis appears negative by all accounts. Did someone finally wax the top mustache in Gotham? Find out, in Batman: Curse of the White Knight #4. SPOILERS AHEAD. Heart-wrenching Curse #4 is probably the most emotionally resonant Batman comic…
There’s a lot going on in Red Hood right now. Jason and his team of students are on their first field trip and things seem to only to be getting wilder the longer they’re out. In their exploration of a destroyed S.T.A.R. Labs facility they discovered another teen meta and then suddenly found themselves face…
Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Almost a year into this generally fantastic run on Detective Comics, there’s finally an issue that I didn’t love. Given the creative team, there’s still a level of craft that I can’t help but appreciate, and there are individual aspects that I enjoyed. Generally speaking, though, this issue…
We're only just getting started this season of Supergirl, but one of my favorite aspects thus far is the focus on J'on J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter. It still blows my mind a little that we're five seasons into a live-action television show where one of the main characters is the Martian Manhunter and that the…
Based on the art of comics legend Frank Miller comes an all-new DC Designer Series: Batman statue. This impressive 1:6 scale statue showcases the ravaged, gritty and iconic look from Miller’s “The Dark Knight Returns” story line. From comic book to 3-D polyresin statue, this piece is a real testament to the impact a comic can have…
If you follow my writing here at Batman News, then you likely know how much I love Downtown Bookworks and their DC Super Heroes books. They've got stuff for kids of all ages, and there's usually plenty to tickle the fancy of parents, uncles, and aunts, as well. Downtown's latest is here, and instead of focusing…
Rocking into our world from the pages of DARK NIGHTS: METAL comes the fastest and deadliest man in the Dark Multiverse—the Red Death! A menacing mash-up of Batman and the Flash, this Dark Knight came about when a once-noble Caped Crusader stole the Speed Force from the Flash hoping to prevent tragedies in the past. This transfusion…
If you're following along with Titans season 2 in real-time, you know things have been moving quickly. The first villain is dead and replaced with a second. Two generations of Titans are living together, MTV's Real World-style, in Titans Tower in San Francisco. Dick Grayson continues to make very bad decisions to protect himself from his…
The Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover coming this fall isn't a vacation from the rest of the season like other crossovers have been. It's the main focus. While Batwoman, Black Lightning and Supergirl have yet to be pulled in, the first episodes of both The Flash and Arrow both hinge on the coming crisis, and this week's…
I first saw YuMe’s DZNR series back at Toy Fair. For me, they were a standout item, because I just wasn’t expecting anything like it. If you consider the two basic elements of the DZNR series, there’s nothing unique: a chibi-style Batman plush and decorations referencing the history of the Dark Knight—Jim Lee artwork, the…
