1 on Mezco One:12 Collective John Stewart Green Lantern reviewMezco's One:12 Collective has quickly become one of my favorite toy lines on the market. Unlike most of the merch I review here at Batman News, I buy these figures myself, and I'm happy to do it, because they're amazing. I took a chance on a few last year, and fell in love when my first…
You know what I love? And I mean really love? Multiverses! That’s not sarcasm, either. I think it’s genuinely really fascinating to hop into a different world and see what a writer thinks a character might be like under a different lens. It gives validity to every writer’s interpretation of an established hero/villain, and allows…
While Wal-Mart Giant titles such as Batman Universe continue to be top-notch reading, Titans: Burning Rage continues to be bottom-of-the-barrel reading. I’m not sure why so many writers struggle to write an engaging, entertaining story with this team, but I think it’s time that DC puts both the Teen Titans and Titans on the shelf…
Look, I’m just going to shoot straight with you… Batman #79 is completely skippable. The Story Tom King’s Batman is, understandably, a divisive book. I’m genuinely not a fan of most of his run, but last week was a different story. To the chagrin of many of you, I loved Batman #78. I thought it…
Every time I’ve opened a copy of Nightwing in the last year, I’ve mentally braced myself. (Yes, the “Ric” Grayson saga has run for about a year, not the interminable, dreary eons it seems like to some of us.) I did that again with #64. To my surprise, I found myself relaxing as I read, thinking…
At the end of last month’s issue it was revealed that the team’s new plan to "fix criminals" was to use Djinn to alter the minds of the men and women the team captured so they’re productive members of society. With an ending like that, the next step is to explore the repercussions of this…
The Justice Doom War rages on! With the League spread across time and their plan in jeopardy, things look grim. Can they pull out the win? Or will Pereptua and her new favorite bald son turn the multiverse into a 52-decker doom sandwich? Spoilers ahead. Winning the war The Snyder/Tynion/Cheung/Jimenez/yada/yada/yada Justice League has been a success overall.…
Diamond recently released a pretty sweet Batman statue in their Gallery line, and now they've got a GameStop-exclusive of his biggest bad. I was very excited when this one was announced, because Diamond's GameStop stuff tends to be their best. So how about Joker? Watch the video, or read the transcript below to find out.…
One of the supreme joys of being a Batman fan is having so much different content to devour. There are comics and movies and books and video games, statues and toys and all sorts of items you can own to show your love for the Dark Knight. Over the last few years, I’ve really been…
I'm not exactly the world's biggest Batwoman fan, but I can still appreciate a good visual adaptation of a character. And honestly, I don't know that there's been a better live-action visual adaptation of a comic book character than the CW's take on Batwoman, with the exception of the Christopher Reeve Superman. Diamond Select now…
After three issues of saying they’re going to save Sofia, Batman and the Outsiders finally act on their promise! Better late than never, I guess. But, will their attempt be successful, or will this mission just be another instance of the team falling short of their goal? Find out below! (Psst… This is, by far,…
Batman is famously known for his stealth and ability to go unseen. He must be quiet and subtle to succeed. However, the latest statue in the BATMAN: BLACK & WHITE line is anything but reserved. Sculpted from art by Marc Silvestri, this Batman is imposing and bold as he rests in a chair in the…
You know something’s wrong when you have to pull out the prior issue of a book and look at the end in hopes of understanding what’s going on in the current one. I found the beginning of this story so confusing that I pulled out issue #7. It didn’t help. That’s unfortunate because there’s a…
If you’re a Jessica Cruz fan, you really don’t want to miss this issue. Our last sight of her, at the end of the prior issue, was heartbreaking. But the most intriguing things are coming out of that ending! Darkseid crushed Jessica and activated Sepulkore, triggering the creation of a pocket universe. What happens next…
I’m a big fan of all things horror and macabre so I was cautiously excited when I first saw Gotham City Monsters announced, but I really had no clue what the book was going to be. It’s immediately apparent that writer Steve Orlando has worked hard to make this book feel integrated into the DC…
For the past few issues, Detective Comics has felt like The Brave and the Bold. I’ve kind of mentioned this a lot, so it shouldn’t be news, but it totally fits: take Batman, pair him up with another character (Deadshot, in this case), and throw them into some sort of crazy adventure. A botched kidnapping…
Supervillains are fascinating. Villains as a whole are a compelling part of any story, but supervillains are a breed in and of themselves. It’s not that they just have an evil code (or a “morally ambiguous” one if you’re a coward), it’s that they have to look fun while doing committing acts of evil. Every…
Every comic book character has a certain type of story that they fit best. This doesn’t mean that a character like Catwoman should forever be stuck in caper-style plotlines forever, but repeatedly forcing her into a gauntlet of villains to fight isn’t the best way to show what makes Selina a unique heroine. Catwoman #15…
Danger Excitement Thrilling escapes You can practically hear the announcer of an old movie serial narrating the events of Batman: Universe as you’re reading it. This book is just pure, unadulterated adventure from cover to cover, and each chapter escalates the insanity set forth by the last. Want proof? In this issue, Batman encounters a…
Catwoman: Bat. Batman: Cat. Catwoman: It was in an alley. Batman: It was on a boat. Catwoman: Meow. Batman: Hrrn. Catwoman: We’ve been having this same conversation for nearly 80 issues. Should we actually talk? Batman: Cat Catwoman: Bat Batman: I’m fine. The Story *Warning! This review contains spoilers. Despite the condescending nature of my…
