1 on From the Batman News Desk: discussing 25 years of “Batman: The Hill” with editor Joseph IllidgeWelcome to From the Batman News Desk, a new series of op-eds and articles covering various aspects of Batman history. Each week one of the Batman News writers will share their thoughts on Batman characters and concepts across comics, film, television, and more. Twenty-five years ago, a one-shot Batman story came out off the tail…
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…
The latest all-ages graphic novel from DC Comics will soon be here, and Batman and Robin and Howard is s real gem. Without getting into spoilers, it's a fun and funny tale of a "grounded" Damian Wayne trying to be a real kid, making some true friends while he longs to return to being a…
Legends of the Dark Knight is a series most Batman fans know and love. It’s a chance for a variety of writers and teams to step in and tell a story about their Batman. In issue #4 Stephanie Phillips gets to do just that. She takes Batman deep into a mystery set in both Gotham’s…
Welcome back to my two-part interview with David Russo! (If you missed Part 1, you can check it out right here.) Today we’ll be getting into questions more catered to Batman fans: specifically, Russo’s feelings on both of the Bat-shows he worked on, what behind-the-scenes knowledge he gained, and what the production process is like…
When I watched Teen Titans Go! To The Movies near the back end of 2018, I laughed pretty hard at a joke about Alfred getting a film before Robin. What I didn’t expect was for that joke to be eerily accurate: because here we are, with a second season of Pennyworth on the way. The…
Shea Fontana has an impressive track record with DC! She has been a significant driving force behind DC Superhero Girls, a line that has branched out into one of DC's most successful multimedia ventures. Additionally, she recently wrote the book DC Women of Action, a comprehensive guide to many of the women in DC's world, as…
DC Collectibles gave Batman News the opportunity to speak with Jim Fletcher, the executive director of DC Collectibles, at San Diego Comic-Con, and we jumped at the chance to talk toys, statues, and the recently announced Todd McFarlane Batman: Black & White statue. However, Jim Fletcher did not plan on showing up alone. Just a…
Have I mentioned that Sam Humphries is a delight? Because it absolutely bears repeating. The writer has been making his mark across DC Comics over the past few years, from launching the excellent Green Lanterns title to helming a great run on Nightwing, and even teaming up Bugs Bunny with the Legion of Super-Heroes. We’ve…
Scott Lobdell is a weirdo—and I think that's why I like him so much. After tearing his Teen Titans to shreds, and ripping his Red Hood/Arsenal multiple new ones, I found myself eating a super-sized portion of crow after a few issues of his second crack at Red Hood and the Outlaws. The man I once insisted was…
Sam Humphries is a delight. After talking with Batman News a few short weeks ago, the newly-minted Nightwing scribe had another chat with us about his debut on the title. We talked for quite awhile about anything and everything to do with his upcoming Nightwing arc "The Untouchable," including new Blüdhaven landmarks, Dick Grayson's new…
Batman News was the first to announce that Mondo would press the Batman Returns soundtrack to vinyl for the first time in 25 years and now the album is here! This impressive reissue was released in two versions, a 2XLP on sale now, and an exclusive 3XLP available only at last month's Mondo-Con. We have photos so…
For the past year and a half, Tim Seeley has done Nightwing proud. While his run on the character is coming to an end in December's Nightwing #34, he's leaving the character in the capable hands of Sam Humphries. Fresh off a great run on Green Lanterns (which, funny enough, Seeley is now writing), Humphries…
When I read Batman: White Knight, I immediately noticed a striking difference between it and pretty much every Joker-related book I’ve seen in the past few years: Joker’s dialogue was set in the same font as everything else. Whereas other recent stories have made use of crinkly, Jokerized fonts, letterer Todd Klein chose to use…
If you don't know Dynamic Music Partners by name, then you at least know their sound. The trio, consisting of Michael McCuistion, Lolita Ritmanis and Kristopher Carter, have composed the music and themes for countless animated projects over the years. From serving as the legendary Shirley Walker's protégés on Batman: The Animated Series to their Emmy-nominated…
One of the highlights of DC's "Rebirth" initiative was seeing Dick Grayson back in blue as Nightwing. Don't get me wrong, the Grayson comic series is one of my favorite books of all time, but having Dick back in costume just feels right. In the course of a year, Tim Seeley has been steering the…
Kyle Higgins has had a pretty good couple of years. After some stellar runs on the New-52's Nightwing and Deathstroke, along with work on the digital-first Batman Beyond that was none-too-shabby either, he's had great success over at Boom! Studios with their Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers titles. Now Higgins has the chance to return to…
I like to talk to letterers. Part of it is my day job: I work with fonts a lot, and am responsible for implementing (as opposed to designing) text layouts for a variety of correspondence. But it's also because—in spite of my job—it's easy for me to take a letterer's work for granted. Pat Brosseau…
Comic book lettering is perhaps the most under-appreciated creative position in the industry. Every other element on the page can be understood consciously—you like the way the line art or the color looks, you enjoy the dialogue. Even if there are subtleties and subtexts, there's typically something anyone can understand on the surface. But lettering,…
If you haven't been reading Batman '66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel, do yourself a favor and catch up. The eighth chapter releases Monday, September 19th, so you have plenty of time, and it's been great fun so far. Plus, each installment is just a buck, and you can't beat that. A large part of the series'…
