Batman: The Animated Series
·
5 on The Great Eras of Batman Comics: 1993-2004When discussing great Batman comics, we often focus on particular storylines or creative teams. But what about the times in Batman's history where no matter which title you picked up off the newsstands, you're almost guaranteed to get some quality Batman content? The times when different creative teams worked on different books to different ends,…
Catwoman #43 probably isn’t what most readers are expecting after Tini Howard and Nico Leon’s first arc on the series. Bengal takes over on art duties this time around and does a good job with what he’s given by Howard’s script. However, there’s such a sharp shift in tone and stakes that it almost feels…
Hey everyone! ICE to see you! The holidays are here, and who better to spread some holiday cheer than everyone's favorite Batman News Authors, Cam and Matina (with a little guest appearance from Jay, of course)? Well, don't tell Nick we said anything, but no one! That's why we've teamed up to skate through what's personally…
Much has been written about the greatness of Batman: The Animated Series. Heck, I’ve probably written at least a few thousand words celebrating the series on this site alone, so it’s safe to say that the landmark cartoon is no stranger to effusive praise. What’s so great about the show, though, is that it’s more…
There are few publishers that get me more excited about new product than Insight Editions. Their output is consistently excellent, with attractive volumes that range from cookbooks to art collections to the anatomical breakdowns of different superheroes. When Insight announced that they were teaming up with Mondo for a book that collected a bunch of…
I'm of the age where I remember the word "mondo" being a regular fixture in the vernacular. Like "radical" and "bodacious," it was typically used to denote something that was more than merely "cool." No, if something was mondo, it was extremely cool. Was the use of this slang going through the minds of the…
Today we're talking about Mondo's latest foray into Batman: The Animated Series collectibles (my favorite type of collectibles). You'll recall that Mondo already released a 1/6 scale Batman (that I liked), a Mr. Freeze (that I loved), and now we have Selina Kyle herself joining the collection. This time around I filmed the unboxing and…
Look for Mondo to release all-new BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES posters by Phantom City Creative and open pre-orders for their own exclusive Catwoman 1/6 scale figure on 4/16/2020. These posters pay homage to episodes "Dreams in Darkness" and "Harley's Holiday," and they were originally intended to be part of a BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES x…
I'm hardly the World's Greatest Detective™, but I can usually deduce why an episode of Batman: The Animated Series exists. It exists to introduce a character, profile a character, or connect some greater part of the story together. This week's episode does none of that. It has a boring, one-off villain, it tells us nothing about…
Bruce Wayne, more than almost any character in comics--save perhaps Peter Parker--is defined by his tragedy. So what does it do to a character like that to take his tragedy away from him? Is it a dream come true, or a nightmare? This week on Batman: The Animated Series Remastered and Rewatched, we're looking back…
Based on the seminal Batman: The Animated Series, the Mr. Freeze 1/6 Scale Figure stays true to the animated classic- sculpted to match the iconic style of the show, and with a paint scheme evoking to bold, graphic look of an animated cel. Featuring approximately 28 points of articulation, multiple switch-out hands, heads, accessories, and a Bat Symbol figure…
The best interpretation of the Batman mythos returns this spring with a brand-new comic books series titled Batman: The Adventures Continue. This new title will be co-written by Paul Dini and Alan Burnett (producers and writers of the original animated series) and illustrated by Ty Templeton, who you'll remember as the artist from the 1992…
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times now, but I’ll repeat myself again: Batman: The Animated Series rules. And the accompanying comics rule just as hard. They’re the perfect intersection of great writing, fantastic art, and accessible storytelling, with complete stories that are consistently and excellently Batman. Though they were long…
It's been reported that character actor René Auberjonois has passed away. Auberjonois has had a long, storied career playing various bit parts and memorable roles. He was perhaps best known for his tenured runs on Benson and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, along with voicing Chef Louis in The Little Mermaid. Auberjonois has quite a…
One of the things I find fascinating going back to the shows I watched as a child is how downright scary many of them were, and how I often didn't know it at the time. Sid's toys in Toy Story come to mind, as does literally every second of Return to Oz. While Batman is…
It makes sense that we'd eventually get an episode of Batman narrated by Batman. Not only does the style of narration so often used in comics provide ripe opportunity for self-narration, but the idea for Batman is also essentially that of a hard-boiled detective with the volume turned way, way up. It works differently on…
Batman: The Animated Series straddles a weird line between being a story about a vigilante seeking justice for murder by fighting dangerous murderers and being a daytime kids' show. That dichotomy has led to some of its very best and very worst episodes. In the best moments, the limitations forced the team to get creative.…
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 usually not a fan of Batman episodes that aren't about Batman. I mean, it's Batman. He's why we're there. I never could get into Gotham for just that reason. But once in a while, a "Low Bat" episode hits all the right notes, such as with this week's first episode. And not least because…
Gotham is a dense, sprawling city with tall buildings, busy highways, and dark alleys. In his quest to protect the city, sometimes he needs a vehicle which can go where the Batmobile cannot. Enter the Batcycle. It’s maneuverable, stylish, and capable of tremendous speed – what more could a crime fighter hope for when taking…
