Batman: Year One Review

Widely known as one of the greatest Batman stories ever told, Batman: Year One finally got the much anticipated Warner Bros. animated treatment. Though the adaptation stays very true to the epic Frank Miller story, Batman: Year One is a clear example that some things don't always translate well from book to film.

Why the Revelation in Batman #10 Doesn't Work

If you haven't already read Batman #10, I highly suggest you run, don't walk, to your nearest local comic book shop and do so. The latest chapter in Scott Snyder's Night of the Owls arc is definitely a game changer, and a huge turning point for the entire Batman mythos. The issue's revelation has also already spurred some intense controversy amongst Batman purists and casual comic book readers. Yep, it's one of those issues, boys and girls.

Spoilers ahead. You have been warned. SPOILERS. AHEAD.

RUSTED SPOTLIGHT: Batman

The Batman.

The Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, the World's Greatest Detective! My first memory of Batman was at my 2nd birthday party. My parents always tell me it was a grand event - a long guest list, giant cake, balloons, and food galore. But I don't remember a single detail from the day...except for the BATMAN COSTUME I got. Come to think of it, I don't even know who it was that gave it to me...

This month marks the 73rd anniversary of Batman's first appearance in Detective Comics #27. Unless you've been living under a rock (and just somehow stumbled upon this blog), you know the legend of his origin, so I'll spare the repetitive back story.

The Caped Crusader has grown into a worldwide cultural icon, and is no doubt one of the most popular and recognizable figures today. It's arguable that Batman isn't just one of the best superheroes ever, but one of the greatest fictional characters ever. But what is it that makes Batman still so popular?

REVIEW: Batman #6

After last month's phenomenal issue, what's in-store for Batman?? "I know that I am sick to death of owls!" says the Caped Crusader. Spoilers ahead!

Occupy Gotham

Bruce Wayne is part of the one percent and there's nothing wrong with that. Others include Ted Kord of Kord, Inc. and Tony Stark of Stark Industries. Wayne inherited his parent's wealth and heads the conglomerate Wayne Enterprises. Sometimes the one percent aren't faceless corporations who lack hearts. Sometimes, they go beyond what's expected of them without the world ever knowing.
