Batman Archives

I quite enjoyed the opening to Telltale's Batman series The focus on Bruce Wayne and the developer's playfulness in twisting truths from the canon is leading the series in the right direction. We don't have long to wait for next installment either It's been announced that the second episode entitled Children of Arkham will lauinch on September 20th for[...]

Cinema Sins has turned their attention to the recently released Batman: The Killing Joke Based on the Alan Moore and Brian Bolland graphic novel that is considered by many to be one of the top Batman stories published, the animated film was met with mixed reviews because of the opening sequence added on But these[...]

The scaly villain was created by Gerry Conway and Gene Colan in 1983 and has been a fan favorite ever since as well as rather unique in Batman's rogues gallery His popularity has increased quite a bit with his appearance in the Suicide Squad movie Though this design appears to be based on the more[...]

Of course it managed this with plenty of exclusive retailer variant covers, which added 60-100,000 to the total. Well, with far fewer exclusives, the more expensive All-Star Batman #1 by Scott Snyder, John Romita Jr and Declan Shalvey has still managed to clear around 350,000 in sales to comic book stores. DC dominated marketshare and sales in[...]

That's right, Batman has a hidey hole on the Moon Just because he does And a Bat cave full of flying robot bats It's probably easier for them to fly in 1/6 gravity Remember, Batman will have had to transport all that material to the moon himself And build it himself And bring all those[...]

We salute you, and the keenness you bring to your passion. This week's best-selling comic was Harley Quinn beating both Batman and Suicide Squad Rebirth… and while Walking Dead's new storyline makes it into the top ten, nothing from Marvel Comics does. 1 Harley Quinn #1 2 Batman #4 3 Justice League #2 4 Suicide Squad Rebirth #1 5 Superman #4 6[...]

Batman is such a vast character nowadays across so many different mediums, in so many incarnations, it's hard to identify him as any one thing He can be a stoic father figure, a silent watcher, a brutal vigilante or a goofball kid's character depending on what you are consuming There are a lot of ways[...]

My opinions on Batman v Superman have been quite well documented, and I've championed the movie as being smarter than it might first appear (often to some degree of ridicule by at least someone) This specific issue had been eating at me for a little while though: the Martha scene I've seen a lot of[...]

If Marvel's offices aren't in full crisis mode yet, then they're more out of touch than I ever imagined; they have become the old, tired, hackneyed, predictable, reader-unfriendly company in the eyes of many readers Continued strong interest in pre-Flashpoint Superman and Batman, with increasing interest in Wonder Woman Meanwhile, every day we field a handful[...]

One of the centerpieces to the DC Universe is the Trinity of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman The BvS101 video below breaks down that relationship, where it began and how it's influenced our first look at it in live-action on the big screen For the DCEU to succeed, these three characters must succeed as well. https://youtu.be/zpmcJONuMvkVideo[...]

Batman has (will?) appeared on screen with Rick and Morty Fun! So, here is something you might have missed from today's Justice League trailer earlier In fact, I completely missed it too, but this tweet from @PurestKanadajin  pointed out my blatant error. It appears that The Flash has a taste for Rick and Morty as you can see[...]

Including Ben Affleck. Well, the reason for that, as has been expected, is the Ben Affleck is indeed directing his own Batman movie. Not much more was said, but Affleck seems pretty excited about it, calling it one of the best characters in American Drama. Can't wait for that.   Today during the ongoing Warner Brothers panel at SDCC,[...]

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Friday night saw the big premiere of the latest DC Animated feature based on the classic Batman story by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland, The Killing Joke Already earlier in the day, it was revealed that there was a pretty big (and controversial) change to the story, with Bruce and Barbara seemingly[...]

He has done a tone of beautiful comic covers ranging from 100 Bullets to his upcoming work on Bloodshot USA. Dave also has a twisted sense of humor that we get to see on display here in How To Draw Batman in 3 Minutes with Rev Dave Johnson. This is definitely not the drawing video you want[...]

I guess we can count on Marvel to churn out more match-to variants to try to prop up flagging sales… A slight uptick in interest in Batman family titles–Robin, Nightwing, Batwoman, Batgirl–but otherwise a typical week for back issue sales. Civil War II #3 took the top spot this week mainly because we held a midnight release[...]

As part of their pre-SDCC announcements, Dynamite has sent out a press release telling us that the new graphic novel White Sand sold out in less than a

I caught a fair portion of Telltale Games' Batman at E3, and was impressed with what I saw The crux of deciding when to be Bruce Wayne and when to be Batman is a really cool hook that could play out rather interestingly over the five episodes. We have a release window for the series' debut[...]
