24 on Batman: Last Knight on Earth #1 reviewGather round, fellow comic fans, gather round! Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are telling their final Batman story, and it’s called Last Knight on Earth, and it’s a tale of adventure and intrigue and mystery! This miniseries is part of DC’s Black Label imprint, will run for three issues in total, and each issue is…
If you had asked me which characters I thought would be popping up in Peter Tomasi's run on Detective Comics, I'm fairly sure the Reaper would have been... if not near the bottom, then at most toward the middle of the list. The idea of the character is interesting (a vigilante who was active in…
Video courtesy of my site Comics Now I'm not the world's biggest Batwoman fan, but I enjoyed her well enough at the beginning of James Tynion's run on Detective Comics. DST's Batwoman Gallery PVC statue is an excellent take on the comic Batwoman, so if you're a fan, it's worth checking out. Watch the video above for my…
Video courtesy of my site Comics Now. Used with permission. I've loved the Martian Manhunter as long as I've known him. He's a tortured soul who's lost everything, and yet he cares for people who are not his own. He fights for them and saves them. When I found out that Tweeterhead was making a statue of…
Reviews and the discussions they inspire are a big part of why readers visit the Batman News comics section. So an article in which all of our reviewers engage in a discussion about that week’s titles? Why, you’d think it’s a no-brainer! And yet it took several years for the idea to cross our minds……
DC Collectibles are back at it with a brand new wave of Batman: The Animated Series action figures. Their output over the past several years has resulted in, hands down, some of the best Batman toys ever created, and this series is no exception. The new wave of figures consists of Two-Face, H.A.R.D.A.C., Gray…
In my coverage of Batgirl #34, I celebrated the arrival of entertaining new versions of The Terrible Trio, and bemoaned the continued surfeit of soap opera. Readers of the same disposition may enjoy issue #35 a little more as Babs spends the whole book in-costume, battling her new enemies. That’s right; this month, there is…
When introducing a new character, particularly a villain, getting their backstory and motivation down pat is tricky. Sure, there are some characters who work better when you don't know what makes them tick, like the Joker. If you understand the Clown Prince of Crime, he loses the element that makes him truly terrifying: unpredictability. Is…
Batman turns 80 this year, and the fine folks at Funko are commemorating this momentous milestone with Pop!s and Dorbz spanning the Dark Knight's history. I asked them to send a few out so we could check them out, and a short time later, a box full of goodies arrived. Let's have a closer look.…
Diamond Select Toys' Vinimates may not have quite the following as that other vinyl powerhouse, but they have a charm all their own. I have a growing collection on my shelves, and when I saw that DST would be producing Batman, Joker, and Bane from Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, I knew I would have to…
This month, the Nightwings discover that water can stop fire. Ric Grayson is apparently on the same level as Neanderthals. Look, this review isn’t going to be very long. There’s really not much I can say about this title that I haven’t said before, and there’s honestly not much in this issue that sets it…
Are… Umm… Are we sure we’re not in the “Knightmares” arc still? Because it kind of feels that way. This issue consists of two separate narratives. One of which involves Batman, Bane, Thomas, and Alfred, while the other consists of Batman and the Bat family… And yet, despite this, barely anything happens in the issue.…
Diamond Select has been knocking it out of the park with their Nolanverse stuff lately. I already reviewed Batman a short while ago, and a Vinimate review is forthcoming, but today is all about Gotham’s reckoning. Video courtesy of Comics Now. DISCLAIMER: Batman News received this collectible from the manufacturer for the purpose of review.…
Lost in space! The Man of Steel passes the time before his impending death with tainted memories. Batman has (what I can only assume to be) the evolutionary peak of tea and crumpets with the World Forger while they discuss the betrayal of principles and friends alike. And the rest of the Justice League find…
I repeat myself, but Downtown Bookworks is the single best publisher of super hero-based kids books in the market, and it isn't even close. Their ever-expanding library serves a wide range of ages and topics, but the common threads are always there: they treat kids with respect, and they show great veneration for pre-modern DC…

Imagine, if you will, that you’re a young DC Comics fan in the early 1970s. It’s Saturday morning, you’re still in your jammies, and you have a huge bowl of cereal in your lap as you’re waiting for your favorite cartoons to come on. (You just described me... - Sean, Editor-in-Chief) Suddenly, one of these…
Finally! Five months after it was originally supposed to be released, we’re finally getting Batman & the Outsiders! If you’re like me and love these characters, then you’re probably super excited to get your hands on this book, especially considering the incredibly talented Bryan Hill and Dexter Soy are the creatives behind it. Now, the…
I should really talk about covers more, because that's a good one right there. It has a lot going on, but everything works together without it getting cluttered. You've got the delightfully dramatic action in the lower quadrant, with the Arkham Knight holding a sword to Robin's throat and threatening "join me... or DIE!" Gotta…
Before we jump into the actual review: DC has confirmed that this is now a 7 issue miniseries so that Snyder and Jock can wrap up the story properly. I think this is exciting news because I have been enjoying this series a lot and if the creative team feels that they need a few…
