With two movies winning dozens of awards and a third on the way, the Spider-Verse film franchise is an undisputed juggernaut in both animation and superhero movies. It's been lauded for its unique visual style and ability to adapt lesser known characters to the big screen while still maintaining what made fans love them in…
Temporarily coming in as a last minute substitute, I'll be your "Dante" through Neo Gothic's increasingly weird "Inferno." As Batman and Kyle delve further into the underground, they begin to experience gnostic hallucinations. Unfortunately, that means an entire issue of fighting their way out of a seemingly never ending nightmare! A Long Strange Trip Max…
In discussions about the greatest Batman films of all time, most moviegoers would probably name Batman, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Batman as some of the strongest contenders for the top spot. With good reason, as they are all good to great in their own ways. There are two movies that are often…
According to a new report, an animated Batman Beyond film may be in development at Warner Bros. Appearing on The Hot Mic podcast, Jess Sneider shared a tiny tidbit about a potential Batman Beyond film. The following project was commissioned by Walter Hamada. It was, as far as I know, never reported. As of this…
At long last, we have arrived at the final issue of Batman: Beyond the White Knight. I came to a catharsis while reviewing this series that Sean Gordon Murphy’s world of Batman just wasn’t as good as I had originally thought. Since my realization, most of my reviews have been negative. Still, I have been…
After wrapping up most of the major conflicts in the series, Sean Gordon Murphy makes this penultimate issue one big roller-coaster ride to the finale. There are lots of emotional moments, intense action sequences, and character reunions to catapult us into the final act. So why did I feel nothing throughout the entire issue? …
*Deep sigh* It seems like it was only yesterday that I completed my review for Batman: Beyond the White Knight #5, and here I already have another issue before me to deconstruct. I say “deconstruct,” because I’m at a point where I know what to expect from this universe, and it really doesn’t look like…
The thing that appeals to me the most about McFarlane Toys' DC Multiverse line is how much variety they offer. I mean, sure, there are lots of Batman figures, but that's to be expected given that he's pretty popular these days. Even with a ton of variations on the Caped Crusader, that still leaves plenty…
With over eighty years of history, and a presence across multiple mediums, DC Comics has a deep, deep well of characters and content to merchandise. You can pull from comics, movies, TV, video games, and even books and radio shows and still barely scratch the surface of all they have to offer. And it’s a…
Batman Beyond #50 is a decent conclusion for Dan Jurgens’ largely impressive run. Much of that credit goes to the regular art team of Sean Chen, Sean Parsons, Chris Sotomayor, and Travis Lanham who are tasked with equal parts action and lower key dramatic scenes. Additionally, Jurgens’ script mostly returns to the series’ initial roots…
Batman Beyond #49 doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to time travel plotlines and while my hopes for a more in depth examination into Terry’s relationship with his father and Bruce weren’t fully realized, this month’s issue still delivers a mostly satisfying ending for this two-part story. There’s an endearing throwback vibe for this…
Batman Beyond #48 is pure comic book fun. Dan Jurgens does lean away from the series’ strong ensemble cast for another “altered memories” plot line, but this time the story is set to dive deeper into Terry and Bruce’s relationship. Paul Pelletier is on art duties and turns in solid work that does more than…
After two months of basically non-stop action, Batman Beyond #45 smartly slows things down a bit and takes its time to properly set up the arc’s stakes and character motivations. While the last two issues were entertaining, Dan Jurgens’ script and character dynamics take a noticeable bump up in clarity and engagement. Also different is…
Batman Beyond #44 is the biggest burst of energy the series has had in a while. Dan Jurgens’ script sheds itself of any mystery and places all of the cards on the table. For too long the series struggled to maintain any sense of momentum due to characters infighting, having amnesia, or keeping their identity…
I know books have been shipping the last few weeks, but I finally feel like I’m back in the comics world with Batman Beyond #43. It’s nice to be in the weekly grind, much like how Terry is finally back in the Batman cowl and fighting crime in Neo Gotham. Jurgens knows what works in…
Batman Beyond #42 should be a slam-dunk for Dan Jurgens and Sean Chen. It brings the main cast back together, positions Terry’s return to being Batman, and puts Bruce Wayne face to face with Blight himself. Unfortunately, the script offers no surprises and leaves Chen without much to do other than go through the motions…
Batman Beyond #41 is the best issue of Dan Jurgens’ amnesiac Terry plotline that began back with the False Face arc. Sean Chen’s pencils, with inks by Sean Parsons, up their game as the arc nears its conclusion, with Jurgens’ script ramping up the stakes to their breaking point. With the entire cast slowly making…
