Batgirl investigates a series of killings that lead her back to her brother, James Jr. Apparently, he has fans. Does it make for a good read?

Beyond that, the story wasn't especially interesting, and the art comes off as empty and stark at times. Batman: Kings of Fear #1 cover by Kelley Jones and Michelle Madsen 3 Batman: Kings of Fear #1 This is the borderline. Batman: Kings of Fear #1 was genuinely not bad either, but it was almost painfully conventional. Kelley Jones' art was fantastic, but[...]

Recently, while reading writer Bryan Hill's current story in Detective Comics (with artists including Miguel Mendonça and Philippe Briones), we thought to ourselves: wouldn't it be great if Batman comics were like this all the time? No offense to the other seventeen current Batman comics, of course It's just a matter of preference[...]

Last week's Batman #53 set the internet ablaze over its apparent revelations about Batman's atheism Bleeding Cool Rumourmonger-in-Chief Rich Johnston penned an article titled All the Reasons Batman's Atheism Doesn't Make Sense – And One That Does, pointing out, amongst other things, that Batman has personally known and fought beside an actual angel, as well[...]

We knew that Batman, like Superman, is returning to the underwear-outside-the-trousers look. Originating in the skintight shirt and leggings with boots, cape and trunks of the professional show wrestler of the twenties and thirties, when that inspiration went away, the classic superhero look did not And its increasing oddness led to the underwear charge. But as Batman's[...]

Justice[...]

We're seeing a character who thrives on her ability to guard her emotions dealing with devastating heartbreak, and it's hard not to feel for her.

The banter between the Justice League follows, and Flash ribbing Batman never gets old. From there is the Rogol Zaar material, and it lasts a while Also, there's a cameo that I could not believe I was seeing (even though it was technically spoiled two months ago). All of this kept me engaged, but none of it[...]
