Ends of the Earth: Batman, Morrison and the “New Myth”
Mythology is the operating system of the universe. Or, at least it is in a superhero universe. In the first issue of Grant Morrison’s Final Crisis, Darkseid’s herald Libra lets the Secret Society of Villains in on one of the... (Continue reading)
Time Masters: Vanishing Point #2 Review
Time Masters: Vanishing Point #2 Time travel stories are among some of my favorite types of sci-fi stories. However, tus far, Time Masters: Vanishing Point is not one of them. This is essentially a Rip Hunter and Booster Gold story,... (Continue reading)
Gotham City Sirens #15 Review
Gotham City Sirens #15 DC Comics continues its game of “Guess who’s writing Gotham City Sirens” with this month’s issue. Once again, the website credits the issue to Paul Dini, and once again, the issue itself says the writer was... (Continue reading)
Geez Batman Is Big At DC Right Now
Is Too Much Batman A Bad Thing? If there was any question about popularity at DC I think the recent November Batman solicitations can clear things up. In November alone there are eight “Batman” titles and another nine Batman-related titles:... (Continue reading)
Batman Beyond #3 Review
Batman Beyond #3 Adam Beechan throws a few new twists into “Close Encounters,” the most recent part of the Batman Beyond miniseries. This has been an uneven series for me, leaning towards more good than bad, but in my view... (Continue reading)
Streets Of Gotham #15 Review
Streets Of Gotham #15 Ever since Dini apparently took a hiatus from writing Streets and the DC solicits starting to be mere lies about what was actually forthcoming in this series, I have been on the fence about this comic... (Continue reading)
DC Universe Legacies #4 Review
DC Universe Legacies #4 The re- (I don’t know how many “re-s” should be used, so I won’t even try) telling of history continues in DCU Legacies 4. This is more or less part two of the Silver Age, with... (Continue reading)

Batman’s New Threads As The Return of Bruce Wayne nears an end a new status quo for Batman and the Batman Family will begin, including a new costume for the man himself. The most notable of differences is the return... (Continue reading)
Batgirl #13 Review
Batgirl #13 I’ll just ask this up front, because it was the first thing I thought of when I finished reading this issue: are male readers finding this as funny and enjoyable as I am? Because for a moment, I... (Continue reading)
Birds of Prey #4 Review
Birds of Prey #4 The Birds of Prey/Diamond Distribution jinx seems to finally be over as, so far as I can tell, issue 4 actually went everywhere it was supposed to on time with no additions. This issue also concludes... (Continue reading)
Batman: Widening Gyre #6 Review
Batman: Widening Gyre #6 I appreciate creators pushing the envelope, I really do. In Batman’s case it’s what moved him into an era of camp and comedy, as a result of that other creators like Neal Adams and Dennis O’Neil... (Continue reading)

Batman: Under The Red Hood The latest DCU Original Animated Movie, Batman: Under The Red Hood was released on July 27, and was based on the Judd Winick storyline Under The Hood, which serves as a sequel to the controversial... (Continue reading)
Return Of Bruce Wayne #4 Review
The Return Of Bruce Wayne #4 And the plot thickens. “She’s safe with a qualified Doctor.” I think this line (coming from Vandal Savage) sealed up any suspension I might have had; Doctor Hurt is Thomas Wayne, the devil-worshipper first... (Continue reading)
Gotham City Sirens #14 Review
Gotham City Sirens #14 The somewhat confusing run of guest writers is still going on with our Gotham Gals. Dccomics.com credits this issue to Paul Dini, but the actual issue says Tony Bedard, which feels more right to me. Of... (Continue reading)
Batman Beyond #2 Review
Batman Beyond #2 “Hush Beyond” continues this week (Last week for some of you, but my store didn’t get it), as the six part Batman Beyond miniseries moves on. The killer on the loose has been dubbed “Hush” by the... (Continue reading)
