There are few alternate reality books that last long as publications, but Sean Gordon Murphy's Batman White Knight is one of the exceptions that fans very much enjoy reading, month after month, despite it not fitting into the DC Canon (whatever the current timeline is now…).  The book had a very successful sold out run[...]

This one is unique as it showcases Harley Quinn as Batman's iconic sidekick; Robin The detail on the statue is definitely different from texture lines as if it's coming off of pages There is an "H" where the "R" would be for Robin, and the color scheme is based on Harley's She is posed in[...]

It's run talking about Tom King's Batman online, especially with people who think there just hasn't been enough Bane in City of Bane I would argue the title suggests it's about the city rather than about Bane, his effect on the place and the way it workd now – although setting two issues on a[...]

Paul Dano is in negotiations with Warner Bros for Matt Reeves' The Batman with Robert Pattinson in the title role Variety reports the role as the Riddler, but the studio won't confirm.

The CW's "Arrow" is back with a final season opener that's super "Crisis"-y: setting up the crossover while reminding us of what makes the show so special.

It appears that the dollar comic reprint of Batman #497 that DC Comics recently published had a few pages printed out of order Well, what do you expect for a dollar? But DC Comics are taking this more seriously and are sending all retailers replacement copies, matching the numbers that retailers ordered, as well as[...]

Arrow is shuffling off the network's programming coil after an abbreviated 10-episode eighth season (making The Flash the "elder states-show" of the "Arrowverse"), Ruby Rose-starrer Batwoman joining the family alongside Supergirl, and a looming "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover that could change things dramatically – including Black Lightning this time around. The CW DCU 2019-2020 season[...]

A month ago, Bleeding Cool pointed out that Batman #81 was to lose its Year Of The Villain branding Which it has Consider that Year Of The Villain branding was the excuse that DC Comics gave to pulp an issue of Superman and Supergirl (and then reprinted with different ethnicity-based colouring of certain characters), it[...]

Batman #81 is out today, from Tom King and John Romita And it's time for the big reveal What Batman's plan was, what has been Batman's plan this whole time, and how everything that happened is part of his long game for tackling Bane and his hold on Gotham. Which is not the only time Batman[...]

For the universe to survive, Oliver will have to assemble a team of "paragons", those who represent the highest level of heroism. So with that in mind – and if this is the first stop? This season is going to get very interesting… https://youtu.be/7AzlJyzxu7QVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Arrow | Season 8 Episode 1[...]

A lot of things can be said about Batman That he's paranoid That he is a psychopath who dresses up like a bat to beat up mentally ill criminals, for one thing That he has a dumb mustache, for another But most importantly, that he has severe daddy issues Not only were his parents killed[...]

Since The Crows are supposed to be the antidote to a Gotham without Batman, I want to see him responding to Batwoman like an existential threat Instead, it looks like we're setting up (checks show notes) Kate's stepmom as an antagonist? Ok, let's see where this goes, I guess. But when it comes right down to[...]

This week's The Batman's Grave when it wasn't reinventing the Wayne family graves, alongside the freakiest gift that loving parents can get their child, and getting thematically interrupted by adverts for chocolate bars, had Alfred Pennyworth destroying the entire concept of The Batman. It would have been cheaper to buy Gotham Or, at least, buy off[...]

Take The Batman's Grave by Warren Ellis, Bryan Hitch, Kevin Nowlan and Alex Sinclair out this past week In digital, not an issue But in print… As Alfred Pennyworth tends to the graves of the Wayne's and looks to Bruce Wayne's grave to come… knowing he will see it filled before his own passing. And the very[...]

In the following preview for the next episode of The CW's "Supergirl," Kara and the team face-off with some tech "big bads" while J'onn is under attack.

While the city holds on to hope that Batman has returned, Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott) and the Crows up the stakes trying to take down the villainous crew Kate continues to look to Bruce Wayne's legacy for guidance as Luke Fox (Camrus Johnson) inadvertently gets pulled into Batwoman's vigilante heroics Sophie (Meagan Tandy) and Kate[...]

The third and final chapter of Batman: The Last Knight On Earth by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo was intended to have been published on November 11th As you might have gathered that is no longer the case It is possible that Spawn #300 and #301 may have got in the way a little, I[...]

Crossover? — Tom King (@TomKingTK) October 10, 2019 After all, what can Marvel and DC Comics do… fire them? Yes, yes, as I said, I'm drunk[...]

Quinn has said goodbye to The Clown Prince of Crime (watching Alan Tudyk's Joker's laugh as it happens is pretty sweet) and is set on being the "queenpin" of Gotham City's underworld. Three small problems: she has the Joker as a constant threat… she has Batman patrolling the streets ond rooftops… and there's a pretty good[...]

The CW's "The Flash" is back for a sixth season premiere - one that was a little too dull for our liking, an uncharacteristically… ahhem… slow start.

As Barry (Grant Gustin) and Oliver (Amell) shared what felt like a final toast and Kate Kane's Batwoman (Rose) returned to protecting the streets of Gotham – with a sense that something felt a little off – we got a small taste of what's still to come in 2019… CW "Crisis on Infinite Earths!" Worlds will live![...]

WARNING FOR MINOR SPOILERS In a recent interview Joker director/co-writer Todd Phillips said that the Joaquin Phoenix version might not even be the actual Joker who will eventually face off against Batman. It's bad enough that the discourse already reached a disturbing level but Phillips is doing nobody any favors Historically, Arthur Fleck becomes the traditional[...]
