Mile High Comics has started the charity auction on eBay of the Batman 75 piece by Neal Adams, George Perez, Tone Rodriguez, et al. that we covered for

This is mainline New 52 continuity, as established many times over in the last three years. Bruce's demise at the hands of Darkseid is roughly one year ago in the current timeline, falling immediately after he first met Damian and the events of RIP, which are still fully in continuity. DC is no stranger to post-Crisis effects,[...]

Anthony Marques is the assistant editor on the Superman books at DC Comics For another month. I understand he resigned at DC Comics this week, to work for Dark Horse Comics. If he'd got a new editorial job, he's have been required not to work his notice and leave the company on that day. But instead he's turning[...]

I understand that, the week before San Diego Comic Con, when editors are rushing to get work in from creators in the knowledge that next week will be a bit of a dead zone in that regard, the President of DC Entertainment, Diane Nelson will be popping in from Burbank to New York. The last time[...]

For example when this scene was created, featuring DC Comics editor Katie Kubert…   …she hadn't announced to DC Comics that she was quitting and moving to Marvel Comics.   I think Gail Simone might have liked to have known that, as well Of course some of the digs are more deliberate[...]

That's the cover tag, announcing the reintroduction of Gen-13 in today's Supergirl #33. And they appear in a two page epilogie at the back of the

Harley Quinn Annual #1, out in October, will have to be ordered earlier by retailers a week than other issues due that date.

Batman: Assault on Arkham will have a World Premiere on Friday, July 25th at Comic-Con International. The story is set in the Rocksteady world of Batman:

The book was finished and paid for. And then never published. A sci-fi graphic novel about nanotech and body modification, the only mention of it I could find online was on Phil's Facebook page where he puts up an image (which we had to modify ourselves sadly, you can find the original here) and writes, well a coupla[...]

At the London Film And Comic Con tonight, Gail Simone talked about her new DC Comics title. She said, "Guys, I can't tell what my new book is, because it's secret It's a secret project full of secrets, and it's secret. So secret!" Which did rather fit with what I was told by DC sources…. This is where we left[...]

I don't know if he's doing it solo. But I haven't heard any other names attached. On the back of the success of his Doomed crossover on the Superman

One of the many things the Batgirl comic, under Gail Simone, accomplished was the emergence of a regular transgender character in a mainstream superhero

This isn't your grandfather's Batman. Of course it's not Batman at all. This is Gotham. And thanks to a rather entertaining source, I've just seen the pilot episode.

Yesterday, DC Comics filed to register the Superman 'S' symbol as a trademark for belt buckles. It looks as if someone might have been going through their trademark on the symbol in recent days for… some unknown reason… and found it it was lacking in their paperwork. But not only that, it's also filed paperwork to register[...]

And from DC's perspective, they are a break with the past, a chance to prove that they can do something new, be something new They aren't coming back – outside of the upcoming Band Aid project, that is. But some folk don't realise this They forget Like the preview above And like Superman/Wonder Woman #10 this[...]

Bleeding Cool sources who have been rather reliable in the past have told us that they have seen Batman V Superman designs for the character of

When DC Comics relaunched their line as the New 52 in 2011, the fact that the maintay character of Barbara Gordon was no longer to be Oracle, the wheelchair bound informational guru, architect and archivist of Birds Of Prey but back in the Batgirl suit, irked many fans But they were placated by lieu of previous[...]

She also talks about her future plans, finishing out her DC contract and moving on to creator owned projects. While you were sleeping… I'm awake now!

Lawrence Ganem, Vice-President Talent Relations at DC Entertainment has been in touch with DC creators about changes to the way they get paid It's all going electronic and switching to twice a month instead of weekly. But you can still use your fax machine if you want. Lawrence says, Hi Everyone, As you know from Dan & Jim's announcement last[...]

James Gordon. Ironically enough, on the same day that DC's online news site listed the results of a fan poll in which I was chosen one of "the 75 greatest Batman artists/writers," an executive at DC Entertainment—let's call him "Johnny DC"—dismissed my request for "equity" (a percentage of income received when a character you create is[...]
