Ted Naifeh’s take on the Batman universe
Naifeh didn’t stop with just character designs, he actually has a few Batmobile drawings that bring movies Alien to mind. As well as a few Kate Kane Batwoman and the villain, Alice from Rucka and Williams’ III first arc in Detective Comics.

‘Twas the Night Before Wednesday…
Batman and Robin #7: Grant Morrison is joined by another new artistic collaborator as a third story arc begins—his Seaguy and Manhattan Guardian collaborator Cameron Stewart. (Hooray!) This arc is entitled “Blackest Knight” and will guest-star The Knight, The Squire and Batwoman.
Be in Mark Millar’s NEMESIS
My older brother, Dr. Bobby Millar, works with these children every day and he explained to me what a difference it would make if they could get a new bus… Resources are tight at all schools and hospitals in the current economic climate, but we had a great success with the Kick-Ass auction and...

Comics Grinder: Wonder Woman
When the time comes, if the rumors of his taking over are true, Grant Morrison will be inheriting a revitalized and relevant Wonder Woman. It looks like that will be happening once Wonder Woman gets renumbered to #600 and a new kick off is set in motion. For now, enjoy what remains of Simone’s r...

Super-Articulate: Mattel’s Q&A Answers for January
What’s the process for deciding on the version of the particular representation of a character in the DCUC line? For example, Batman and Nightwing had fairly iconic looks, but Robin was the most recent version of his costume. Is this based on market research, internal debate, etc.?

Review: The Life and Times of Martha Washington in the Twenty-First Century
The Life and Times of Martha Washington in the Twenty-First Century Written by Frank Miller Illustrated by Dave Gibbons Colored by Robin Smith and Angus McKie Published by Dark Horse Comics There’s a strange irony in this massive, back-breakingly heavy tome of a book coming out when Fra...

Review: Robin Hood Season 3, on DVD Tuesday
Before watching Robin Hood Season 3 on DVD this week, my thinking was that one of the appeals of a Robin Hood TV series is the same as it might be for Zorro, Batman or even Sherlock Holmes. Having a central character who’s instantly recognizable, whose challenges, enemies, friends and philo...

Opinion: The first part of First Wave—Batman/Doc Savage Special #1
This Batman carries a gun, but he’s not the Batman of 1939—and that’s a shame, as there’s a thrilling creepiness about that Batman design, a sense of the bizarre that only gets stronger the farther and farther away we’re removed from him. This Batman looks exactly like our Batman, except f...

Opinion: Linkarama@Newsarama
“The songs and the superheroism don’t quite gel here as well as they should. Plus, Batman should never, ever sing”: That bit of blasphemy comes from Marc Bernardin, in a post on EW’s Pop Watch blog, referring to the musical episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, an extremely awesome epis...

Review: Batman: Cacophony
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Smith’s take on Batman. Some of my comics friends had been put off by Smith’s Batman not saying what Batman would say. And then there’s the whole thing with the Joker taking a walk on the wild side. Well, it’s not exactly too big of a leap to see the character as gay. T...

Some short reviews of some comics I read this week
Batman: Gotham Underground (DC Comics) I passed on this when it was originally serialized, as I wasn’t reading Countdown, and it was a tie-in to a Countdown tie-in (Salvation Run), but I’ve found I’m much less picky about the comics I read when I borrow their trade collections from a libra...

Opinion: Clancy Brown talks Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
QUESTION: The title is Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, but that’s not what this film is all about, is it? QUESTION: What does Tim Daly bring to Superman? QUESTION: And what makes Kevin Conroy the definitive voice of Batman? QUESTION: Why couldn’t you bring comics home?

Opinion: Linkarama@Newsarama
“I have finally accepted that, although I can enjoy the Wonder Woman comic, I have no interest in Wonder Woman as a character”: 4thletter’s Esther Inglis-Arkell just isn’t that in to Wonder Woman, and explains why. Once again it sounds to me like many of the problems with the Wonder Woman ch...

Review: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?
DC Comics Batman #686 and Detective Comics #853 DC Comics Story by Neil Gaiman and Art by Andy Kubert We all know that Batman isn’t really dead. But it’s nice to see a death of Batman story turned into a sweet Neil Gaiman confection. You can read “Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?” no...

You know, that shocking cliffhanger ending to Battle For The Cowl #2 probably would have been a lot more suspenseful if…
Spoiler after the jump, so don’t click if you haven’t read the issue yet!) …the person who just stuck a very sharp chunk of metal a few inches into the torso of current Robin Tim Drake (dressed as Batman above, bleeding profusely) wasn’t former Robin Jason Todd (also dressed like Batman, wa...

Podcast: Batman hates amateurs
Well, we all knew that Bruce Wayne hates amateurs. But who’d've thought Christian Bale would take that so seriously? TMZ has released a profanity-laden audio file (so open here at your own risk) of the Dark Knight as he lashes out at the Terminator: Salvation set.
