I was about 28 when I wrote my first Superman scene in Animal Man and now I'm 61. It becomes a very interesting prospect to see an older Superman and how he would recalibrate his mission and make it work in a different way but still live up to the promise of that, the champion of the oppressed[...]

I have always wanted a golden lasso and an invisible jet, and I feel like now, writing Wonder Woman, I'm one step closer."

While they prepare, Bruce and Selina individually reminisce about their times together, each other, and how their relationship has developed over the years. Batman #50 cover by Mikel Janin As the title says, this will be a spoiler-free review I don't want to ruin the story for anyone, but it is a hard comic to not spoil[...]

The two rogues talk. Batman #49 cover by Mikel Janin It's hard to know what to expect from a Tom King Batman book You can have expectations based upon previous installments, but he still finds a way to catch you completely off-guard. For example, I wasn't expecting this to be a book-long chat between Catwoman and the Joker[...]

He wants the Batman, and, from the Batman, he wants an invitation to the coming wedding.

It nakedly kills the pacing of the story to set up the myriad of Damnation tie-ins, and it kills the tension and excitement of what could have been another great battle comic. Batman #43 cover by Mikel Janin Win: Batman #43: Ivy and Harley Forever Batman #43 was a highly enjoyable villain-centric book, and it was quite memorable[...]
