Batman: The Animated Series
·
8 on Two-Face #3 reviewChristian Ward's Two-Face has been amazing so far, but what is it all about? When the series began, Harvey Dent became an impromptu mediator for Gotham's criminal underworld. Although the White Church is a manifestation of Harvey's guilt, it seemingly serves as somewhat rehabilitation. Yet, a ominous Shadow Hand is intentionally sabotaging his venture with…
I don't consider myself a LEGO collector, but I'll admit a certain weakness to very particular LEGO sets. I ultimately couldn't resist the "Batman with Batmobile vs. Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze" set, despite the terrible and, honestly, confusing name. Let's talk about the name, first. I recently built the LEGO Batman: The Animated Series…
I'm somewhat of a neophyte when it comes to LEGO builds; I only go for the stuff I really like, and it's only been the last few years that I've been doing it. Voltron, the Horizon Forbidden West Tallneck, the Ghostbusters ECTO-1, Optimus Prime, and small versions of the 1989 Batmobile and Lamborghini Countach--that's the…
It's easy to look at a LEGO build and only see the finished product--it's kind of the whole point, right? But a truly great LEGO set is much more than that. It's not just a $300 amalgamation of plastic blocks, it's a journey. It sounds silly, but in the process of building Gotham City from…
It's impossible to deny that LEGO has been kind to Batman fans. With over 120 sets, there's something for just about every age group or type of Batman fan. One of the biggest sets yet--surpassed only by the Batcave Shadow Box set--is the new Batman: The Animated Series Gotham City set. It was ultimately too…
Any time I write about Batman: The Animated Series, it gets harder and harder to come up with something to say. I touched on this in my review of The Batman Adventures Omnibus, in that while I could talk all day, every day about this series, so much has been said and written about this…
Ranking the Best and Worst of the Batman Mission Masters and Spectrum of the Bat Action Figure Lines
If nothing else, the existence of these Batman Mission Masters and Spectrum of the Bat toylines show just how many wild, crazy, random ideas were slapped onto action figures of the Dark Knight. So many colors, so many Noun Verb naming variations, so many pegwarmers. That's all part of the fun and charm, though, in…
Batman: The Animated Series was a revolutionary series when it debuted, and it has more than stood the test of time three decades on. Its followup, The New Batman Adventures, was a more somber, serious affair, one that I absolutely adored when I was a kid. As time has gone on, my appreciation for it…
Over the years, and even as recently as a few months ago, I've written so, so many words about how much I love Batman: The Animated Series. I don't need to tell you that any more, nor do I need to tell you about it either, because you know. It's BTAS. We all know it.…
A little over a year ago I declared Mondo's Joker 1/6 scale figure to be their most expressive yet. Well, a challenger to that title has emerged with the latest addition to the Batman: The Animated Series line... Harley Quinn. Bruce Timm's iconic, original design of the late, great Arleen Sorkin's character is beautifully adapted…
We’re sad to report that actor Richard Moll has passed away. Known for his large stature and booming voice, the 6’8” actor achieved fame as the kindhearted bailiff “Bull” Shannon on the sitcom Night Court. Moll was a series regular for all nine seasons of the show, and also had parts in multiple television series…
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 celebration of its 30th anniversary, Batman's first animated film is getting a 4K remaster. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is set to release on Blu-Ray on September 12, and will include new cover art, a digital code for the movie, and a “Kevin Conroy: I Am the Knight” special feature. Little has been revealed…
According to an email from his friend and long time collaborator Steve Perry sent to Multiversity Comics, Michael Reaves passed away at the age of 72 on the morning of Monday, March 20th after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. Reaves was a celebrated author and TV writer, having created numerous acclaimed works. He is…
It's hard to believe, but 2022 has indeed been the 30th anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series. To celebrate, the DC Shop has released a new line of exclusive merchandise. You can find all of the items in the Batman: The Animated Series section of the DC Shop.
Day 04 of our cavalcade of Batman must-haves is all about pointing you in the direction of one shop: Mondo. Mondo has three Batman: The Animated Series 1/6 scale figures in stock right now, plus an LP of Michael Giacchino's The Batman score that might get a restock before Christmas. In addition to the Batman…
Over three years later, Mondo is re-releasing their Batman: The Animated Series 1/6 Scale Batman figure, but it's not exactly the same collectible as before. No, Batman is back with some outstanding improvements to paint application, greater overall height, and a shakeup to its assortment of accessories, but with those advancements also comes an increase…
It's been over two years, but Mondo is back with another 12-inch Batman: The Animated Series figure, and it was worth the wait. Mondo's latest is none other than The Clown Prince of Crime and not only is he impressively well-crafted, painted, and highly poseable, but he boasts the Batman: The Animated Series (I'll just…
It's hard to write an opening for something related to Batman: The Animated Series, because everyone knows it, everyone loves it, and I can only share my own personal anecdotes so many times before I become "repetitive" or something. I don't know. Anyway, McFarlane have a bunch of great action figures, and have started producing…
Catwoman #44 has moments of inspiration, primarily fueled by Bengal’s visual style and thrilling car chase sequences. However, Tini Howard’s script struggles to navigate the testy relationship between Selina and Harley Quinn, creating arguments based on misconceptions that feel forced, which in the end delivers an unsatisfying ending to this two part journey. Starting with…
