3 on Nightwing #113 reviewAs Tom Taylor's run nears its end, Nightwing #113 works as a makeshift anthology for its #300 issue milestone. Somewhat feeling like an annual, it features three consecutive stories told by Tom Taylor, Marv Wolfman, and Richard W. Conrad. The issue honors the spirit of the run so far, and ominously teases what's to come.…
What is Batman? Aside from a billionaire who dresses like a bat to fight crime, that is. There's clearly something more behind an idea so pervasive that it's become an icon. One could argue his real world success can be attributed to a mix of a memorable design, interesting concept, and his place as the…
Batman and Robin and Howard returns for the repurposed part two of four of Jeffrey Brown’s acclaimed graphic novel.

Where's Waldo When expectations are low, it's easy…
By the bronze age of the 1970s, the modern idea of who Batman is had been largely codified. The dark knight as we know him was defined by legendary writers like Denny O'Neil and Steve Englehart. Even later writers like Frank Miller were still working from the same template, just taken in a grittier direction.…
The second half of Nightwing's latest tale begins with a race to find a missing child. Initially, Nightwing and Batman assume Heartless is behind the sudden homicide, but truthfully, something worse happening. Let's take a closer look.

For those unfamiliar with the original, the story revolves around Damian Wayne while he transfers to a new school…

The Outsiders continue exploring the weird and wild underbelly of the DC Universe the best they can. This time, Drummer takes the lead in the investigation of worldwide phenomenon surrounding a new metahuman. Rather than focus on the team's perspective, Kelly and Lanzing take readers through the life of a troubled twenty-something. Let's take a…
It's probably safe to say that there's hardly a character who has been on film more than Batman. Be it film serials, television series, movies, or cartoons, there have been countless hours of Batman media filmed, animated, broadcast, and what have you over the past nine decades. With all of those different representations come a…
Keeping the synergy between DC television, film, and games, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League releases a prequel tie-in comic. Set after the Arkham Asylum trilogy, and before the events of the game, Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum softly introduces the new status quo. Let's take a look!

Because Why Not Following the book's episodic format, the Outsiders choose another random mystery…

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…
