10 on Grayson, Vol. 1: Agents of Spyral reviewWith his fate and future uncertain at the outset of Forever Evil, the decision to make Dick an agent of the clandestine organization Spyral was controversial, to say the least. Now, shedding his identity as Nightwing and severing all but the most furtive of ties with Batman, Dick is joined by a cast of characters,…
Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank return to Earth One Gotham City to continue in their tale of Batman's reimagined origin. With a focus more on the man behind the mask, we get a glimpse into what drives Bruce Wayne to don the cape and the cowl and rid his city of the criminal element…
At the conclusion of Trinity War, nearly all of Earth's heroes vanished. The Crime Syndicate, an evil reflection of the Justice League, conquered our world and freed every sinister villain in the process. These events unfolded in the pages of Forever Evil while the Justice League title revealed Cyborg to be alive and rallying allies…
Justice League, Vol. 5: Forever Heroes? A more appropriate name would have been "Forever Evil: The Supplemental Material." Volume 5 doesn't really feature the Justice League at all. These chapters fall smack-dab in the middle of Forever Evil and that means that almost all of our heroes are being held captive somewhere and the evil-doers…
Legends of the Dark Knight was relaunched in December, 2012 as a Digital First title made up of self-contained stories by an ever-changing roster of talented writers and artists. Since it's an anthology series, you can expect a great deal of variety in tone and style but that also means you will see a frequent…
White collar criminal, Warren White, figures he's got the system beat. By pleading insanity, White thinks he'll spend a short spell in the relaxed hospital environment rather than serving hard time in a "real" prison. Unfortunately for him, that harmless institution he was hoping for doesn't exist in Gotham. He's going to Arkham Asylum, a…
When the Justice League is dead, villains must become our heroes. In Forever Evil, the League's evil mirror image from another dimensions conquers Earth and only Lex Luthor can save the day. It's been almost a year since the highly publicized mini-series Forever Evil concluded so I thought it would be a good idea to…
Oh, there are some good ideas in "Clay," but there are also an abundance of bad ones like: "Hey, it'd be cool if Batman could make a light construct like the Green Lantern does but it can only be a cup!" or "What if Man-Bat's dad was an even bigger, meaner Man-Bat!" Each tale in…
Long overdue, Batman: Dark Knight, Dark City has finally been collected in its first ever trade paperback. If you've never read it before, get ready for perhaps the best supernatural Batman story of all time. And don't worry, I won't give away too many details from this thrilling story filled with mystery and some of…
Every so many years a stellar line-up of comics industry creators are given great creative freedom to tell tales with the full flourish of their pen and unbound by the continuity that would restrain their ideas in the monthly titles. Adventures so wildly different that range from the tragic, the funny, the surreal, and the…
Batman has had a long, complex history in comics. 75 years worth, in fact. While we here at Batman News strive to stay on top of every new issue and release that features the Dark Knight, the Bat-family, and his Rogues Gallery that comes out on a weekly basis, it's that history that has made…
The Superman/Batman series has been relaunched for the New 52, but with Batman's name first and an opening storyline that explores the DC Multiverse. "Cross World" rewinds the clock to an adversarial Batman and Superman who meet for the first time on an adventure into another dimension where they encounter different incarnations of themselves who represent…
The final volume of J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman's Batwoman doesn't just feel like the end of their run, but the end of an era that began all the way back with Greg Rucka & Williams in 2006's Detective Comics. The story never broke! Not when the Detective Comics gig returned to Batman and not…
ALERT: This comes with Superman Beyond too! While there was originally a Justice League Beyond, Vol. 1 and a Superman Beyond, Vol. 1 sold separately, their second volumes have been lumped together in this collection that only bears the Justice League Beyond name! Contents Justice League Beyond: In Gods We Trust features all chapters of Justice…
"Batman Beyond: Batgirl Beyond" has the sound of an original graphic novel about an entirely new element of the Beyond Universe-- and perhaps that's what was intended-- but it's actually the 2nd volume of Batman Beyond Unlimited and the Batgirl Beyond portion is but a single chapter. And while it does seem kind of deceiving…
Let me set the stage-- It wasn't that long ago that every bat-title was swept up in the Bruce Wayne frame-up, but those who are only familiar with a New 52 Batman will recognize very little about the Gotham of the early 00's. Barbara Gordon is still wheelchair bound and serving as Oracle, Ted Kord…
I've been doing this for 2 and a half years now. Every Wednesday I read several Batman comics (it can be anywhere from 2-6) and write an article about each of them, plus there's the occasional graphic novel to tackle as well as a movie or cartoon here or there. I've absorbed more Batman-related material…
The current wave of Justice League graphic novels are a bit muddled because their issues intermingled during a crossover event called Trinity War and as a result JLA Volume 1, Justice League Dark Volume 4, and this book right here are all missing 4 chapters because if a particular chapter didn't feature the same title,…
It was an event that had been in the making since the very launch of the New 52. In September 2011, every #1 debut issue of DC's relaunch featured a Where's Waldo-esque appearance by a cloaked woman who we would later learn to be none other than the Pandora of Greek myth. Little was known…
No fan of Andy Kubert's Batman will want to miss this showcase of the artist's best work from the past decade presented in the prestige "Deluxe Edition" format. Every issue has been reprinted in its original pencils without ink or color so every minute detail of the craft is clearly visible. Content Batman Unwrapped: Andy…
