And no, that doesn't work out well either. The Joker, in a flashback story, also flashbacks to his childhood, brought up without parents and an oppressive abusive aunt, giving him the impetus to bring up a gorilla in a much more loving fashion. Again… Creeper #1 also begins with dead parents It's one hell of a trope this[...]

 But there was the first thing, then the final script page, then Brian Bolland's take. Would we get an explanation for why Batman is staring at his glove? Had he picked up a Joker needle? Was it the device he'd use to kill The Joker? Most-Read Comic Stories Sunday: When Brian Bolland Revealed What Happened Between Batman And[...]

From the new Fatman On Batman podcast with Grant Morrison talking to Kevin Smith about The Killing Joke. And no, I hadn't gotten that either.

Her association with the Arkham Asylum video games couldn't be hurting her popularity either. The Batman 66 Pops on the way are wide-ranging, from an Adam West-styled Batman with a pronounced cowl to the Joker, Robin, and Catwoman It's a smart clustering around a set mentality from Funko It also rides a tide of enthusiasm for[...]

The CINEMA MAKEUP SCHOOL took Cosplay to a whole new level at the Comic Con exhibit hall today, unveiling an arachnid femme fatale and a terrifyingly real take on the new 52 Joker. Creepy.

But who is under the mask?

However, they may be a little reticent getting together again after all they've been through? Is this the death of the family – as a unit? It doesn't really seem so, just some momentary grumpiness. Except there's one aspect of the comic that seems to be being missed, with people expressing a vague feeling of disappointment[...]

Today, Scott Lobdell writes DC's two main bad guys, Lex Luthor and The Joker? And how do we know they're bad guys? Because they both use diagrams! In Superman #15 we have the incarcerated Lex Luther getting access to holo pen and holo paper to sketch out a certain Fortress Of Solitude, plotting out a way[...]

The main story in BATMAN #15 unfortunately spends too much time to make up for how uncoordinated the Bat-family comes out looking, if a single man can personally ambush each and every one of them without any of them managing to warn the others. PATRICK GLEASON IS GIVING ME EVILS Is this level of graphic horror still[...]

The latter gets a die cut cover but all feature confrontation with The Joker. But the mask is starting to slip. .. Tied on by a belt strap and twine, the Joker's reattached face isn't the most stable of masks It drips and unravels a little in Batgirl… In Batman there's a full blown rippage[...]

So, enraged over being "excluded" from his perfect world, The Joker gathers up the few of his henchmen still alive — including Harley Quinn — gathers up his weapons, tricks, gadgets, and his very own Joker Venom, and decides to take the fight to what remains of the world. How long does Joker survive? How about his minions? Can he[...]

The comic began by seeing the Joker's van looking over the water to the island of Gotham, surrounded by water, in the rain… but he doesn't set foot on the ground. Never Land, the setting for JM Barrie's Peter Pan stage plays and novels was always different in the mind of each child, but always an[...]

However, this is where it begins; this is where shit gets real! At New York Comic Con, the book's main scribe, Scott Snyder, revealed that the Joker's comeback tour targets two groups: the Bat-Family and the Bat-Rogues Accordingly, the issue is divided into two parts, the story proper, and a backup featuring the Penguin Batman[...]

Here's a preview, courtesy of DC BFF BuzzFeed, of Batman #14. Feel free to read. Unless you really, really like Alfred...

And Bleeding Cool did our best to bring this to people's attention. It seems to have worked. Not only did Red Hood And The Outlaws #13 become one of the highest reordered comics after publication last week, but as a result it has rapidly sold out and DC have decided it is worth a second printing. No mention[...]

But it does star The Joker Okay, it doesn't star the Joker, it stars Madder Red, or various versions of him Basically this is a Joker comic with the handbrakes off and the Highway Code thrown out of the window If you have been enjoying Death Of The Family, this could blow your mind Bedlam[...]

Lucy Noonan writes for Bleeding Cool; Can we get a round of applause for the return of the Joker? It seems appropriate that the first big storyline post-reboot would involve the Joker; he is after all the greatest supervillain out there One of the first graphic novels I ever read was 'The Killing Joke' and to[...]

Those surprise last page reveals will do it every time: We are all aware that demand for the Batman: Death Of The Family crossover is outstripping supply.

So here I am, in a Heathrow lounge, reading the Batgirl I just picked up from Orbital Comics... Man these things are going to freak some people out.

I mean, yeah, it's gross stuff with Uncanny's brains, Joker's skinned face, and Saga's poop jokes, but it's all AWESOME! Uncanny Avengers is a brilliantly paced first issue Every scene builds to the mind blowing cliffhanger, yet it catches you completely off guard[...]
