15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

One of the list relics of a bygone era is the comic book adaptation timed to the release of a film. Yes, there are still comics based on movies, but used to be you could go into a drug store or gas station and pick up a bonafide issue of, like, a James Bond movie,…
One of the things we love most about comics is how they connect us together, uniting fans in celebration of the medium. We don't always agree on everything, but we share a passion for comics and, specifically, Batman. With so many Batman comics being published, and many more on the way, we wanted to bring…
So, how many of our readers are D&D players? There's a certain feeling one gains the more familiar you become with the game - though this applies to any tabletop, really. The more you immerse yourself in the world you've been transported into, the more invested you become in your character you've made. Eventually, whether…
Little known fact about me: The Penguin is one of my favourite Batman villains! I don't talk about it much, because I haven't really had much of a chance to review comics with him. He's second to Joker, if only because I'm a basic bitch - but there's a lot to love about this guy.…
In the last chapter of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal Watchmen, there is one final conversation between two of its main characters: Ozymandias, the world's smartest man, and Doctor Manhattan, the world's only true superhuman. Before the sequels, the prequels and the crossovers with the DC Universe, this was the last word on these…
DC's Gotham City panel began at 10.45am: the latest update for fans about what's going on in the world of Batman. People began their Sunday morning a little drowsy, but that energy quickly resurfaced once the panel truly began. Ben Abernathy, an executive editor at DC, introduced the panelists: Frank Tieri, Meghan Fitzmartin, Ram V,…
So I've finally sat down at my hotel in New York, New York. Casper and Cam are trying to order food, the rest of the Batman News team are sending their best wishes, and I'm recovering from the jet lag of three flights over thirty hours, which was delayed due to being stuck in customs.…
I'd like to begin this review by asking who enjoys this book, and why. It's not like I think Dark Crisis could not possibly have fans. In fact, I envy those who are fans of this book - I'd love to find joy in this event, to be invested in the characters to the point where…
[Review is currently without visual aid; images will be added as soon as possible.] "The plot thickens!" If you think about it, the phrase is kind of amusing. I've heard it so many times that I've never really taken the time to decipher the meaning of it, but it's a particularly interesting choice of words.…
When 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,…

You know, realistically I should be grateful for this arc. Contrary to what I expected, this was not a continuation of the story told in the Justice League Dark backups: a story which, while I loved, ended on a cliffhanger that currently has no planned resolution. Bendis seems to almost completely ignore that - instead focusing…
Okay, now this is more like it! I'm going to try and make this review as snappy and to-the-point as possible. In short, while I had my doubts about Jace Fox's move to New York, this is a very good first issue in his new arc: and sets the stage for what could be Jace's first…
When's the last time you really cared about the Justice League? For me, it was probably 2018, with the conclusion of No Justice shortly following Dark Nights: Metal. There was a level of momentum to that story that I adored, and it bought me enough good will to enjoy a lot of Snyder and Tynion's writing…
Joshua Williamson will be replacing Brian Michael Bendis as Justice League writer with April 19th's issue #75... where he will end the series with the death of the world's greatest superheroes! Williamson is teaming up with artist Rafa Sandovel of The Flash to create this 48-page special, which will see the League falling in battle against…
"Represent. Always represent." These are the words that conclude I Am Batman #5, and they feel almost cathartic. Not only is it the final line in a genuinely good scene - one that actually does feel earned, to boot - but it also feels like a turning point. With these words, we're finally given a real direction…
Dark Knights of Steel #1 had a lot of ground to cover, wouldn’t you say Matina? For sure! It was a busy, busy first issue. If I’m honest, it was a little too much for me. In our first review, I covered the lengths writer Tom Taylor and artist Yasmine Putri went to pack as…
Last Friday I was lucky enough to get to sit down as the representative for Batman News at a roundtable interview with Joshua Williamson regarding his upcoming work on Batman, specifically regarding issue #118. As many of you who read my Robin reviews know, I’m a big fan of what he’s been doing there and…
