But while this is certainly a new direction, the character in question has been around for quite a while as one of the weirder and more obscure pieces of the Batman myt

Well, we're back. (I realize I never got to the Leviathan Strikes oneshot, and I swear on the graves of Thomas and Martha Wayne I'll get to it soon enough.) But it's a new #1 issue, in a New 52, and there are new readers, so let's sit back and absorb the 22 (...

Okay, so last year's Cowboys vs. Aliens may not have turned out to be the kind of box-office bonanza that many were hoping for, despite the presence of Daniel Craig/Olivia Wilde (delete as applicable) to distract from plotholes and Harrison Ford's grumpiness...

Opened with a keynote address by Publisher Eric Stephenson that emphasized personalities and relationships in the comic book scene, the first Image Comics Expo in Oakland, California, came with more major publishing announcements than we expected...

Alan Moore has been the subject of the dominant conversation in the comics blogosphere for the last week or so, thanks to publisher DC Comics' announcement that it has finally decided to actually go through with the production a 34-issue suite of Watchmen prequels by other creators More interesting than any conversation about the esteemed Watchmen writer, however, is a conversation with Alan Moore

Obviously, we're big Batman fans around here, and Chris Burnham has in a relatively short amount of time become one of our favorite Batman artists.
