Only one panel I really needed to make: The Celebration of Adam West. I have literally been a fan since the day I was born — my father claims to have put my crib in front of the TV while Batman hypnotized the nation I have been hooked ever since. West's recent passing on June 9th, 2017 hit[...]

Art by Andy MacDonald and Hi-Fi What's particularly great about how Steve Orlando writes these arguments is that he does so with subtlety and class[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] After the initial reaction to my Dark Days: The Forge review, it only seemed prudent to take on the follow-up issue Dark Days: The Casting. For those who don't want to read through the whole thing, I'm no fan of Batman (hence the title to this review) The Forge read like a fawning pinnacle of[...]

In a report posted by The Hollywood Reporter it looks like we're starting over when it comes to The Batman They have reported that director Matt Reeves dropped Ben Affleck's Batman script, which the star worked on with Geoff Johns and Chris Terrio.

Now, thanks to Batman-News, we have another look, this one much…better?

Will we see Batman come to the ring on an upcoming Monday Night RAW, lay down for Roman, and then tell him, "You're the real caped crusader, Roman?" And he doesn't even wear a cape! It may sound crazy, but there's precedent for fictional characters previously written by Frank Miller to get involved in wrestling matches: So what[...]
