Six years ago, DC Comics changed their logo from the decades old DC bullet designed by Milton Glazer to the "DC Swoosh" designed by Josh Beatman of Brainchild Studio As always, with these things, it was instantly mocked, compared to washing powder logos, that sort of thing But now it's kind of sunk in, appearing[...]

DC has released a preview of this Wednesday's Leviathan, the comic wrapping up the Batman Inc series than ran before the relaunch. At the end of Batman Inc, we got some very strong clues as the the identity of Leviathan, the person and organisation that seems to have been playing with Batman and his ilk for[...]

Chip Kidd's Batman graphic novel Death By Design is scheduled for March. Here he talks at the Pivot: AIGA Design Conference about how he got the job...

The storyline leads to November of 1994 with "Dead Again"; Superman finds a dead Superman body. I believe this is where DC planned to reveal the truth, but they pulled back (instead making the story part of some nonsense Brainiac plot) Why would DC pull back? Do you know what was happening at Marvel at this time?[...]

It's been a little while coming. But this is French artist Gilles Roussel, better known as Boulet, and his response to Frank Miller's infamous blog post

I understand that DC are pursuing a new Batman: Black And White series Published several years ago, from the editorship of Mark Chiarello, the original mini-series published Batman stories and art in monochrome from some of the world's most respected creators The series also contined with strips running in Gotham Knights Creators included Jim Lee,[...]

Come November 2012, will anyone remember there was a pre-relaunch Batman And Robin? DC clearly hope so, which is why they are releasing the slightly clumsily titled Absolute Batman & Robin: Batman Reborn, featuring Grant Morrison's run on the book with art from Frank Quitely, Philip Tan, David Finch, Cameron Stewart, Andy Clarke and Frazer Irving. It's[...]

But it also takes what some people may find an embarrassing task, and transforms it into something aspirational, glamourous… and as a result, acceptable. It is also the closest thing we've had to a Marvel/DC crossover we've had in years. The work was created by artist Halfy/Maifa, who has her own DeviantArt page featuring these female friendly,[...]

Find reasons not to address it. But with DC's Batgirl-out-of-the-wheelchair, this comic seems to revel in rubbing the reader's nose in it To bring the issue up at every opportunity And to tease, repeatedly tease that Barbara gained the use of her legs by a "miracle" – and then only giving us the most meager of details, even[...]

Well that was quick. Yesterday, Bleeding Cool reported on news that Warner Bros and DC Comics were to merge booth space Comic book publishers had been chatting amongst themselves over who might get get the space that DC gave up in the comics section, once they learned about it as a number of interested parties started[...]
