Hey, folks.

For various reasons I've been doing some research on Lois' background of late, and I've found to my dismay there's not really any big starter-pack on her origins. I guess since she's a...

I'd like to experiment with writing it as a purely emotionally abusive thing, with Joker never laying a hand on her because he knows she could break his arm into three pieces before either of them...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think her publication history had less to do with her popularity and more to do with the fact that William Moulton Marston's original contract said the rights would...

Saw the movie in theaters, left mildly unsatisfied, though honestly I have such a specific view/interpretation of the original story that I doubt any adaptation could've really satisfied me.

Honestly, I've never gotten why Talia was ever considered a serious love interest for Batman in the first place, beyond "Denny O'Neil said so and he was head honcho of the Batman books for a good...

You needed to look harder, Chief. :p

But in all seriousness, I started the blog last summer, chewed through the first 2-and-a-half seasons of The Batman at a rate of almost 1 review per day, then...

Thank you very much! I'll make sure to credit you when the review goes up.

Hey, guys.

I don't remember if I've ever shared this before, but I'm well into a review blog for The Batman, aka that one Batman cartoon no one wants to remember.

(A moment so you can catch...

You make that sound like a bad thing.

Myself, I think limiting it to the coffee cup hitting the floor and a few tasteful splashes of blood on the walls might heighten the creepy factor, with the...

Joker: Fool's Errand (Detective Comics #726)
Two-Face: The Eye of the Beholder (Batman Annual #14)
Penguin: Cracks (Showcase '94 #7)
Poison Ivy: Hothouse (Legends of the Dark Knight #42-43)...

Does Darkwing Duck count?

Back when Morrison did it (and please understand that I'm not a terribly big fan of Morrison), there was an actual reason: his doctor at Arkham took away his coin and forced him to use stuff like...

I distinctly remember that one panel of a Grant/Breyfogle Batman story had Batman dialing Alfred for help at 2 am. Alfred gets it and snarks "Oh, asleep at two in the morning? Perish the thought,...

Dini's work started going downhill for me around the mid-2000s and hasn't really ever come back to his BTAS heights, but maybe a project he's put his back into will be different.

Tentatively...

Snyder is the same guy who thought that all you had to do to stall Harvey is give him more than two options (they don't even have to be moral options) at that, so I'm not holding out much hope.

Hey, everyone.

Are there any Avengers fanatics in the crowd? A friend of mine wants to track down a poster that Paul Ryan drew back in 200...1-ish, I believe. It should definitely be online, since...

The show suggests (and the comic collaborates) that in this 'verse, Batman debuted together with Robin. I think it's unique in that regard.

She's at home! Washing her tights!

It actually wasn't established as his "normal name" until later; in The Last Arkham, Jeremiah Arkham says that his real name is unknown, and "Zsasz" is just his nom de plume.

I personally feel it's because his gimmick is very, very limited. Zsasz is a villain who does nothing except murder, and if you give him too much page-time, you get the "why won't Batman KILL this...

I'd usually argue with you on this, but quite frankly, the current crops of writers have been treating the Classic Rogues so shoddily that it could only be to their benefit if they were all killed...

P.I. Riddler was always one of those things I wanted to like but never really could. There are people who can make detective stories enthralling, but sadly, I don't think mid-2000s Paul Dini was one...

I admit, I kinda misread/conflated the title of this thread as "Batman's Mythos as a part of the greater DCU". While Batman himself is an integral part to almost any incarnation of the Justice...

This makes a certain amount of sense on small, one-night cases when there's no time to call the JLA, but not long ones where dozens, if not hundreds of lives are imperiled for every second that...

It's a little obscure, but the first issue of the Turning Points mini is a great story in the Year One era. Greg Rucka writes the most pitch-perfect imitation of top-of-his-game Frank Miller I've...
