0 on Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #3 reviewThe "Harley Show" has begun! The official tie-in to Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League continues with Harley Quinn's wacky escape from Arkham Asylum. Unsurprisingly, as a staple recurring character in the Arkhamverse games and comics, Harley Quinn makes herself at home regardless. Lets take a look! Where's Waldo When expectations are low, it's easy…
Red Hood loses his ability to function and the baddies fight each other to get him back and it’s just a whole lotta nonsense from there. This mini-series is going out of its way to be crazy now and I’m kind of into it. At least I’m enjoying the absurdity a lot more than the…
Knight Terrors: Nightwing #2 is an improvement over last month’s issue, but cannot fully break free of its overwhelming feeling of irrelevance. No new ideas are presented as Becky Cloonan’s and Michael W. Conrad’s script instead favors embracing a wackier atmosphere instead of doubling down on the more grim psychoanalysis of the previous script. With…
Knight Terrors: Nightwing #1 is a stylish, yet simplistic exploration of Dick Grayson’s psyche as he confronts the possibility of being a murderer. The set up allows Daniele Di Nicuolo’s art to shine, but Becky Cloonan’s and Michael W. Conrad’s script offers no surprises or compelling insight into the title character. Right from the start,…
At long last, the next harrowing installment of Batman: Audio Adventures has begun! Last time, Batman attempts to stop the Demon Brood's "future zodiac," while Robin investigates Penguin and the Scarecrow. Worse of all, there seems to be no end to Killer Croc's psychotic hallucinations! Unfortunately new twists continue to develop in the current tale…
Batman is desperate to stop the Demon's Brood and their dangerous ritual in Gotham. Just as Batman figures out what they're after, the truth turns the mystery upside down all over again. It's all just another tale of life and death in Batman The Audio Adventures #5! McNicholas continues to take his Audio Adventures…
Gotham Knights has been out for about a week ago, and I gotta say- I'm having a blast. The story is heartfelt and interesting, the characters, while a little different than their comic book counterparts, are well-written and heartfelt, and the gameplay, while definitely a big change from the Arkham series, holds its own and…
To be honest, I've kind of been struggling to figure out how to properly introduce this thing. Lee Bermejo is one of my favorite Batman artists, and certainly one of the most prolific ever to touch the character. As such, a book that serves as a showcase for his work is a surefire hit. Every…
Hey everyone! Batman #113 is here, and it's got what I know everyone here has been waiting for... More exposition! Buckle up folks, because we're hacking the mainframe and going inside the Batman's brain! Memories abound! Backstories galore! What more could you want from a story? Hopefully you didn't want plot Surprise! The majority of this…
Batman: Reptilian #1’s dark aesthetic doesn’t match the amount of fun within its pages. Garth Ennis has...mixed views on Batman and his less than reverent attitude toward the character is apparent, but Ennis’ sense of humor mixed with Liam Sharp’s striking art combine for a truly unique reading experience. The opening sequence sets the tone…
Well. It's here. The final issue in the best mini I've read in a long time. The final issue. It's over. Unless... I'm just simply not going to read it. If I don't read it, the story never ends, and then they just have to keep making more issues to pad the gap between the…
Scarecrow, as a character isn't that original. But he works--in the comics, the animated series, and even live-action movies--because the idea behind him is so effective. If you told someone to imagine Scarecrow, they'd have a pretty accurate image in their head, and that's pretty much what Diamond Select is giving us with the DC Gallery…
Dear Lord, have I been stuck in a time loop for a year? When I began my review gig at Batman News, I had no ongoing books I was assigned to review. All I had were miniseries: Batman vs Ra’s al Ghul, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity, and Tales from the Dark…
It makes sense that we'd eventually get an episode of Batman narrated by Batman. Not only does the style of narration so often used in comics provide ripe opportunity for self-narration, but the idea for Batman is also essentially that of a hard-boiled detective with the volume turned way, way up. It works differently on…
