There is no Alfred in today's The Batman's Grave #5 by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, which is a crying shame, as recent issues' highlights have revolved around just what insult, criticism or takedown Alfred Pennyworth is going to throw Bruce Wayne's way – and maybe even that he is a figment of Bruce's imagination,[...]

For those who are awake, that is. The original Dark Knights: Metal brought back Sandman into the DC Universe as well as the Great Bat God Barbatos, introduced the Dark Dimensions to the DC Universe as well as The Batman Who Laughs and his other, darker, parallel versions of Batman, while also returning a lighter side[...]

We have seen a lot of Batman movies getting these collectibles lately and it looks like Batman 1989 is next These figures act like they want to compete with Funko but I can get more of a Dorbz vibe rather than the Pop vibe Still, these figures are still cool and can easily fit perfectly in any[...]

And Justice League #39 we got what appears to be confirmation of a good chunk of that. First, we got Wonder Woman with a chainsaw… And yesterday we got Superman with long hair, ready for a fight, and a Bizarro skin-tone ready for a fight. We suggested that we'll get Batman today … and then the full announcement on[...]

For decades, Batman has terrorized the underworld of Gotham City by dressing up as a bat and beating the @#$% out of mentally ill criminals But the question must be asked: is Batman okay himself? The Batman's Grave #5, by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, provides a definitive answer to that question.   As Commissioner Gordon, a[...]

After decades of service, Alfred was used as the latest "shocking character death" in comics to make a storyline feel more "important." And all he gets as a reward is a five-dollar one-shot? One in which he doesn't even get top billing in the title?! Here's a preview of Batman: Pennyworth RIP #1. The preview opens[...]

At the end of Batman #85, by James Tynion IV and Guillem March,  we had a Joker contemplating unveiling the identity of Batman, as Superman had done, confessing to the world that he was Clark Kent.

Batman got his first Batmobile in his first appearance, Detective Comics #27 in 1939 And it has been changing shape, style and function constantly ever since Influencing the TV, the TV influencing the comic, influencing the films and back-and-forth, always one-upping the previous ones. But in today's Batman #88 from James Tynion IV and Guillem Marchi,[...]

During which he talked about all manner of comics and movie projects, but also the end of his run on Batman and his plans for Batman/Catwoman with Clay Mann.
