A month ago, Bleeding Cool told you what we thought was going down with Wildstorm and DC Comics. Looks like we were right on the money. We stated; DC Comics solicitations have highlighted the appearance of WildStorm's Grifter in Batman #101, the comic continuing directly after The Joker War, a character created by DC publisher and CCO […]

And at Bleeding Cool you can still read all about comics, merch, TV shows, games, movies and more. Including Pokémon GO, Funko, Ghost Rider, Batman #100 and so much more. The Daily Lying In The […]
If The Joker leaves Batman with a Gotham that no longer trusts him, who will be there to pick up the pieces? We've already talked about the Defund Batman movement that seeks to address some of the issues raised by The Joker, but are there other issues of note? Well we've already had teases of […]
The solicitation of Batman #100 promises "Don't miss the first showdown between Batman and Clownhunter". And Batman #100 delivers… ish. Turns out it might be not as much fun to see Batman beating up a kid as you might have thought, especially one who speaks like he's from Marvel Ultimate Universe. And he has a […]
No sign of Poison Ivy yet, of course. She's still taking on the role of Queen Ivy, controlling all plant life and preparing to attack Gotham – at some point in 2021. But Harley Quinn, who has survived having her throat cut by The Joker's new girlfriend Punchline, is back on the scene to finish […]
Nightwing appears in Batman #100 and Justice League #54 today, both times dealing with the extents of his injuries and the return of his memories. And each time doing the most outrageous kicks to get there. I'm not sure Nightwing should be grateful to hear voices in his head considering what he has been through. […]
Today Batman #100 sees the Batman go up against the Joker, railing blows against each other, in the Joker War finale of Batman #100. And while Batman may have the edge, even with the Joker wearing his super-shiny suit, does the Joker hit with some truths instead? Does Gotham hate Batman? I mean, wouldn't you? […]
Punchline was the big breakout star of Batman heading into The Joker War storyline. And in Batman #100, all the good guys win (ish) and all the bad guys lose (ish), what of Punchline? The Joker's new girlfriend, and someone who plays the game as much as he does? After all, Nightwing has her pegged. […]
Harvey Bullock first appeared in Detective Comics #441 in 1974 and was created by Archie Goodwin and Howard Chaykin before reappearing in 1983 from Doug Moench and Don Newton in Batman #361. He was also one of the lead characters in the TV series Gotham, played by Donal Logue. Originally a corrupt cop, he ended up […]
In the preview to tomorrow's Batman #100, Barbara Gordon stands in the Clocktower in Burnside, as Gotham burns, courtesy of The Joker War. She picks up her glasses. She sits at the computers and talks into the microphone. "Okay, it's time to let everyone know that Oracle is back online". That's how next week's Batman […]
When Bleeding Cool first broke the news that James Tynion IV would be the writer of DC Comics regular Batman comic book with Batman #86, we stated that it was a temporary gig. That Tynion would write the series up to issue 100, when Batman would be relaunched as part of DC Comics' 5G plan […]
Clownhunter is the name of the latest Batman character with a big upcoming arc in 2021, and set up in The Joker War. A young fellow who speaks in sentence case like he's from the Ultimate Universe or something, with a mission to kill a lot of the Joker's henchmen, dressed as clowns. Hence, Clownhunter. […]

Thank FOC It's Friday. Planned to coincide and cover the demands of Final Order Cut Off at Diamond Comic Distributors. And now UCS and Lunar as well. Of course, in these times, so much of this is up in the air. There's a lot of product coming through that needs adjusting. Because this represents the […]
Batman #99 goes to FOC from DC Comics tomorrow night, so they would really like you to pay it some attention now. The issue before the big one, and it looks like plenty of the Batfolk are back to normal – including Nightwing. And even Barbara Gordon is standing strong after a couple of assaults […]
We have a sneak peek ahead at four pages from the upcoming Batman #100, the conclusion to The Joker War and – once upon a time – would have been Batman and the Batfamily's last hurrah before a reboot/relaunch of a very different Batman for 5G. But that was then. In Batgirl we saw Barbara […]
Could this be another shoe dropping? DC Comics has a 'Team Variant' cover for Batman #100 by Lee Bermejo in his Batman: Damned style. This cover features art by Bermejo, depicting a battle between Batman and the Joker. But it won't be available to comic book stores through any of their distributors, Diamond UK, UCS […]

Batman #100 Written by JAMES TYNION IV Art and […]
