The Batman

2 on The Batman’s Gotham skyline inspired by The RoomWhen creating art, inspiration can come from the most unlikely of places. Be it a musician noodling and creating a masterful symphony, a painter conveying abstract thoughts and feelings through brushstrokes on canvas, or a director filming a literary work that was deemed to be unfilmable, there is no limit to true creativity and artistic…
Last year, an audition tape Barry Keoghan made in the hopes of playing the Riddler in Matt Reeves' The Batman was released, and now Keoghan has some more to say about it. In a profile with Esquire magazine, Keoghan reveals that he spent a measly $10 at a costume shop to purchase a cane and…
There’s something about The Batman that I find compelling. Honestly, I was dreading the movie up until its release, because it just didn’t seem like the type of Batman movie I was wanting. Granted, it wasn’t, but I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. Some of the aesthetic choices…
Read past the end of the review for a final message on my time with Batman News. When I began reviewing Riddler: Year One late last year, I had a sneaking suspicion that this book was not built to be read month-to-month. In the age of the internet - especially streaming - how we release and…
Hm. Hm. Honestly, I could end my review right there. There's something to say about a comic that makes you furrow your brow in thought: maybe it doesn't leave an overly positive or negative impact, but it leaves an impression all the same. Is that the metric of a well-crafted comic? Something you can appreciate,…
Hello all! We're on the back half of The Riddler: Year One now, and as the issues progress, I feel a need to change up my reviewing style. If I have to give this book points for anything, it would have to be consistency. Since issue #1, I've felt its strengths and flaws have remained…
Reviewing The Riddler: Year One is an interesting experience. After three years of reviewing for Batman News, I’ve tackled all kinds of books, good and bad; and each of them had their own unique challenges when I would put my thoughts on them into words. Sure, some good books were easy to write, but so…
It’s almost been a full year since Matt Reeves’ The Batman hit theaters, and even still the film lingers in the pop culture consciousness. It was a massive hit, after all, with a sequel already in the works and a Penguin spin-off series set to go into production soon. Given that Batman is a pretty…
How redeemable can you make a villain? That's a rhetorical question, of course. The fluid nature of storytelling means that you can do whatever you please with a villain: an antagonist can be good, evil and anywhere in between. Nor is "redeemability" some sort of hard metric: when Darth Vader can still become one with…
Say, do you folks have any treasured holiday traditions? Things you do with family or friends that really just bring a smile to your face? Something that, if you didn’t do it, it wouldn’t really be the holidays? For me, that thing is watching movies. My mom raised me on the old Rankin Bass Christmas…
No matter how old you are, who doesn't like getting toys at Christmas? Young or old, whether for play or collecting, everyone likes a nice action figure or statue based on their favorite characters. McFarlane Toys and Fisher Price have both been doing a pretty stellar job of offering up a bunch of different DC…
I like a good candle. Never been a fan of plug-ins or incense because their smell is too overpowering or artificial or they just lack the atmosphere a quality candle provides. Give me the warm glow of a flickering flame and a subtle aroma of something akin to baked goods or wood and I'm happy.…
It's that time of year when the Batman News team helps with the holiday shopping. However, rather than post one article with all of our favorite Batman merch of the year listed out with a mere one or two sentences per gift idea we're going to highlight one item or brand each day. This way…
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…
I think he loves gold. And gold shall he receive, with McFarlane Toys' Platinum Edition 12" The Batman statue. If you're lucky, dear reader, then you too may be able to find this highly sought after collectible for display on your shelf. But is it truly 24 karats of (plastic) goodness, or is it the…
The Beginning One month ago, my good friend and colleague Jay Yaws released a beautiful article on the Little Caesars' Batman calzony. One of many promotional items for The Batman, Jay managed to get his hands on two of them-- and through the fearsome fireworks of savoury flavour he experienced, the man managed to write what…
We're less than a week away from Batman's latest big-screen outing and you know what that means: lots and lots of merchandise. Given that McFarlane Toys have the DC license, of course they're going to make some sweet action figures based on the characters in the film, and they're offering quite a few different pieces…
