15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

DC Comics is one of the most popular and prolific publishers on the planet*. Zombies are one of the more popular horror creatures out there too, which makes sense because the undead are both terrifying and easy to adapt to practically any property. Combine the two and you've got yourself DCeased, DC's immensely successful take…
Today, we reach the final chapter of the "Verdict" storyline in Harley Quinn, as well as the last time Riley Rossmo will be handling the art on this title. While today's issue might not be the worst one I've read in this series, it's certainly a strange comic, and one that makes my overall opinion…
You know, I enjoyed the first issue of G. Willow Wilson’s Poison Ivy so much as a great return to Poison Ivy’s roots (no pun intended). It really disappoints me going from that to the current Harley Quinn run where the character is so poorly written and so far away from her origins that she’s…
You know, it's funny. I've spent so much time discussing Dark Crisis in my reviews leading up to it... that by the time the event has actually arrived, I feel like I have nothing more to say. I think the book's content - or lack thereof - speaks for itself. Dark Crisis #1 sets the stage…
In all honesty, I feel like Harley Quinn #15 is the worst issue I’ve read in the series so far. I’m not saying that to be hyperbolic. This is just an issue where all of my problems with the series are pushed to the front and worsened. Meanwhile, the things that I’ve liked about the…
I didn’t have a lot of positive things to say about the last issue of Harley Quinn. Luckily, issue #14 picks up a bit, and we have some more plot to dig into when Batwoman appears on the scene and tries to uncover the mystery of Harley's latest enemy, Verdict. Meanwhile Harley herself is in…
Koto has announced a new Harley Quinn figure as part of its Kala line. The new figure is 1/6 scale and stands approximately 12-inches and will retail for $199.99. We are proud to announce our new series, “Kalā” (कला). Kalā. Coming from the ancient sanskirt word for art, this series is not just a simple…
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…
The longer the Shadow War event continues, the less it seems like a war and the more it resembles a hunt. Shadow War centers on the death of a major Batman villain and the subsequent clash between the League of Shadows and the Secret Society of Supervillains. The four stories of the Shadow War Zone…
Harley Quinn is my favorite comic book character. In fact, she is THE reason I got into both Batman and DC Comics. I have a very sizable collection of Harley Quinn statues and merchandise, I’ve followed the character in every one of her appearances, and I know more about her history than should be healthy…
According to a report by Bloomberg, Rocksteady's highly anticipated Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League video game has been delayed to next year. Jason Schreier's article cites "people familiar with its development" as his source, along with a tweet from Warner Media Chief Executive Officer Jason Kilar. Kilar's tweetKilar's tweet included a mission statement for Warner…
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…
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…
Catwoman #37 deftly manages to raise tensions across separate plot threads that culminate in a satisfying conclusion for Alleytown’s scrappy defense against Fear State and the Magistrate threat. Ram V’s script wisely chooses to keep most elements of his main narrative and intertwine them with this event tie-in arc. This helps smooth over the lack…
Ah, Injustice. Will you never cease to haunt me? I absolutely LOVED this game back in 2013. I mean, a fighting game where I can play as Green Lantern, Superman, and all my other DC favorites that WASN'T Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe?!?!? Absolutely insane. I still remember getting home from the summer camp where I had read…
With over eighty years of history, and a presence across multiple mediums, DC Comics has a deep, deep well of characters and content to merchandise. You can pull from comics, movies, TV, video games, and even books and radio shows and still barely scratch the surface of all they have to offer. And it’s a…
Catwoman #36 suffers from a slight mismatch between art and script, but Ram V, Nina Vakueva, and Laura Braga’s efforts result in a strong tie-in issue to Fear State that doesn’t lose sight of the series’ strengths. First off, Vakueva’s work is much more appropriate for the book than Braga’s. This isn’t a slight against…
We've reviewed a whole bunch of Harley statues here at Batman News, and we've even reviewed a ceramic bust. But we've never reviewed anything like this. This is the Batman the Animated Series Harley Quin: Legends in 3-Dimensions 1:2 scale bust from Diamond Select. Almost Life-Sized A lot of time when we review statues, we spot…
I found out I was bisexual some time during 2018. There were signs, of course. I'm sure if you talk to enough of my friends, you'll find a few who said they kind of figured - I certainly had a few employers who thought I was flat-out gay, which was a funny conversation to have.…
Batman/Catwoman #5 marks a moment in the series where a lack of coherent narrative thrust hinders otherwise solid sequences. Clay Mann’s art remains solid as ever, though his work with the older Selina shows some strain, but Tom King’s script finds itself wavering due to the self-imposed three-headed narrative structure. Of the three storylines here,…
