Epic writer of Batman, Wytches, American Vampire, etc Scott Snyder, often shares little bits of awesome stuff on Twitter Recently Batman has come up against Gotham City's newest villain Mr Bloom, but could a more familiar face be next?

DC Comics On The Hunt For A New Writer And Artist For Batman
The Batman monthly comic book has remained the most consistent, bestselling monthly comic book in the comic store direct market, and the current New 52 run by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo has entrenched it as a sales monster, the one sure rock of reliability in the charts for DC. But Greg Capullo is moving on[...]
Will Deadshot Be In The Next Solo Batman Movie?
The latest rumor from Latino Review involves Will Smith and Ben Affleck… if things go well with the Suicide Squad movie then it's believed that Smith's Deadshot would join Affleck in a solo Batman movie But it really wouldn't be a solo movie at that point and more of a team-up. Getting Affleck and Smith together[...]
REPEAT: Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1
It is re-run, as the comic is published today. While everyone is obsessed about one upcoming Batman comic book, I wanted to look at a different one. Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 is a game of chess It's all about taking characters and placing them in different positions across the board, The Bat and The Croc, The Turtles[...]
All Robins Are Equal, But Some Are More Equal Than Others (ROBIN WAR SPOILERS)
Even if most of them aren't "official". But what makes a full Robin?

Telltale Games Are Making A Batman Title For 2016
Well…this is pretty surprising. Last night at the Game Awards, it was revealed that Telltale Games had made a deal with DC and Warner Brothers and a new Batman series is incoming as a result There really isn't much more to the announcement than that, other than it will launch in 2016. Telltale of course have a[...]

13 Reviews Of Dark Knight III #1 – The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
There was also Dark Knight III: The Master Race #1. I thought it was all right, as things go, but I preferred the upcoming Batman/TMNT crossover But what did everybody else think?

Bleeding Cool Bestseller List – 22nd November 2015 – Vader Up
But long awaited Batman Europa proves it was not forgotten with a Jim Lee boost and beats the relaunch of The Mighty Thor And it's Harley Quinn's presence that lifts both her title and Suicide Squad onto the chart as well- though not quite as high as Mark Millar and Rafael Albuquerque's launch of the[...]
So Who Wrote Dark Knight III Anyway?
https://twitter.com/brianazzarello/status/667498678639292417 It's a good question. In recent interviews, Frank Miller seems to have distanced himself from
