0 on Catwoman 1/6 Scale Figure (Mondo Exclusive) reviewToday 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…
There’s a lot of Catwoman content this week on the stands and Catwoman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1 is where you’ll find the lion’s share. These oversized specials tend to be very inconsistent, but the creative teams at hand here are overwhelmingly strong so it’s no surprise there are more hits than misses. However,…
We’re in a transition phase with the current Catwoman series now that Joelle Jones has completed her nearly two year run, which means it’s now time for some filler issues! The truth is, sometimes these one-shots are more exciting than a longer run ever ends up being, but Catwoman #22 doesn’t take full advantage of…
Aha! You thought it was Josh reviewing this book, but it was me, Nick! I’ve been given the opportunity to review Batman’s biggest comic, and I have instantly let the power go to my head. Look forward to extensive plugs for my twitter, random non-sequiturs about how great The Last Jedi is, and- Okay, no.…
Joelle Jones brings her Raina Creel saga to its conclusion in the technically competent, but uninspired Catwoman #21 that mostly goes through the motions. Fernando Blanco’s pencils, along with FCO Plascencia’s colors, create stakes in this climactic ending that don’t fully exist in the writing. Unfortunately, the tail end of Jones’ Catwoman is a classic…
Joelle Jones’ Catwoman is now a zombie book. As we near the conclusion of Jones’ Creel saga, what stands out the most is a lack of tonal consistency. We started out with a small scale, yet effective crime thriller, bounced around a few fun one or two issue capers, and now have finally landed in…
Love is in the air in the DC Universe but those looking for a bit of romance in their superhero comics may want to look for other options than Crimes of Passion #1. Without any frame story, this years’ Valentine’s Day themed anthology lives and dies on the overall strength of its ten stories. While…
Both The Clown Prince of Crime and Catwoman are turning 80 this April and DC is celebrating the best way it knows how: with two oversized specials! With so many characters celebrating milestones this year, and it only makes sense for DC to pull out all the stops for them. The Joker and Catwoman will…
Catwoman #19 is a mess. With three different artists, a sudden shift into the horror genre, and overwrought narration, Joelle Jones’ run reaches its lowest point yet. In the beginning, Jones’ Catwoman was a focused, albeit slow paced, crime thriller with a strong sense of characterization and setting. Unfortunately, Jones jettisons much of what made…
Free of the self-inflicted restraints of a non-linear narrative, Catwoman #18 simplifies its story structure and allows co-artists, Joelle Jones and Fernando Blanco, to flex their artistic muscles. Simply put, Catwoman #18 is a gorgeous comic book with each page featuring either stunning two-page action spreads courtesy of Blanco, or richly detailed dialogue driven scenes…
If nothing else, Joelle Jones clearly understands Selina as a character and successfully highlights her troubled emotional state after she left Bruce at the altar. The best scenes in Jones’ Catwoman run have been in quieter scenes where Jones’ strong dialogue works hand in hand with her highly detailed art that enriches each character with…
Texture has always been a key component I look for whenever I’m reading a story, whether it be a comic or traditional prose. It’s hard to find in most books, but unmistakable when you encounter it. It’s when all your senses are engaged by what’s on the page, whether it be sensing the high pitched…
Every comic book character has a certain type of story that they fit best. This doesn’t mean that a character like Catwoman should forever be stuck in caper-style plotlines forever, but repeatedly forcing her into a gauntlet of villains to fight isn’t the best way to show what makes Selina a unique heroine. Catwoman #15…
Video courtesy of Comics Now At first glance, you might say they’re ugly. But get to know them, let them into your heart, and they are beautiful. I’m talking, of course, about Diamond Select’s Vinimates. Featuring the distinctive aesthetic first brought to life in the popular Minimates line, these little Vinyl statues have captured the…
Sideshow's latest addition to the much-celebrated Premium Format collection is Catwoman, but not just any Catwoman. Unlike our previous Premium Format review, a remarkable amalgamation of Batman's most popular comic book portrayals, this figure is quite specific. Here we have none other than Michelle Pfeiffer from "Batman Returns" and in this review we'll talk about…
When Darwyn Cooke passed away at the all-too-young age of 53 back in May, he left behind a legacy of great stories and even greater artwork. In the wake of his passing, DC has wisely opted to re-release several of his most beloved stories so fans can experience them anew. While he was best known…
Thanks to social media a day can't go by with out it being "National 'Something' Day". Today, if you haven't heard, is #NationalCatDay, and I figured a fun way to celebrate here on Batman News would be to look back at Anne Hathaway's Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises. I started Batman News 5 years…
The official The Dark Knight Rises Facebook page just released this awesome still photo of Catwoman. Unfortunately it's not a high resolution photo, but Anne Hathaway has never looked better! Warner Bros. has been releasing new photos to build anticipation for The Dark Knight Rises' Blu-ray release on December 4th. Stay tuned to Batman-News.com for…
Hot Toys revealed their new The Dark Knight Rises Catwoman figure. Hot Toys is known for their realistic and almost life-like figures and their latest version of Selina Kyle/Catwoman is no different. Hot Toys revealed their Batman, Bane, and Tumbler figures back in July, and they’ll be releasing the Bat too. For now head on…
Gameloft released a The Dark Knight Rises mobile game for iOS and Android last month and now several of the artists who worked on the game have unveiled some really cool concept art. Alex Negrea drew up some really cool storyboards for the game, while artists Uri So and Shenggang Dong shared their renders of…
