Now this really made me smile – take the cult, camp fun of the opening title sequence for the 60s Adam West starring Batman TV series and redo it in animation using Lego! Brilliant and geektastic! (via ReiWorks):

A few days ago we lost another of legendary figures of old school comics, Jerry Robinson; the other evening I spotted this short video recorded a couple of years ago at the New York Comic Con with Jerry being asked about the creation of one of the comic world’s most iconic figures, The Joker, as [...]

I just love Dan Berry’s recent Batman sketch – and I like the way his angular Dark Knight now sports a more jagged, straight-edged logo that looks like the Bat-logo crossed with a TIE Fighter. Fab.

Batman – cleaning up, er, Coventry??

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

Having sorted out Gotham’s criminal woes, naturally the Dark Knight would next turn his attention to an urban sprawl that is an even bigger hive of scum and villainy than even Mos Eisley – Coventry!

DC The New 52: Batman and Wonder Woman. DC gets its icons just right

Batman # 2 By Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo DC Comics Well, issue 1 impressed greatly, with even Capullo’s art getting a thumbs up. And here’s issue 2 doing exactly the same. The story has bite, intrigue, a setup of a new major threat to Batman and Gotham; The Court Of Owls. And it does [...]

Batman and Dredd

Jon Haward has been sketching Judge Dredd and the Batman, and rather nicely he’s posted up not only the finished drawing but also the steps in-between to show how he works, from the rough pencil sketch above, to the finished version before, with the various stages visible on Jon’s blog. I always enjoy seeing a [...]

Drunken Batman

Spencer Scott Holmes and Ryan Dunigan’s Drunken Batman and Robin makes a nod to Frank Miller’s controversial and much lampooned (deservedly so, I think) “I’m the goddam Batman” scene: Drunk Batman and Robin- Family Values from Spencer Scott Holmes on Vimeo.

Batman #1 Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion DC Comics “Gotham is...” Opening with an impressive triple panel of Gotham we get three fractured glimpses of this troubled city, from filthy, rat-infested Crime Alley to a towering, modern (and yet still with gloomy, brooding, Gothic overtones) business block and finally an ornate, vast mansion (presumably [...]

Detective Comics #1 Tony S Daniel and Ryan Winn It’s pretty rare these days for me to pick up a weekly or monthly comic – I’ve collected them for years, still have boxes of them, still have a lot of love for them, but these days more often than not I tend to pick up [...]

Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb…

Thursday, September 1, 2011

Comments Off

Somedays even the most resourceful caped crusader just can’t find a safe place to dispose of a bomb. Thank goodness for very long fuses and a determined Adam West (personally the second time I passed them I think I’d have stuffed it down the horn of the musician’s tuba, which is perhaps why I am [...]

“The Law Is A Joke”…

Monday, August 15, 2011

Comments Off

“The Law is a Joke!”; Cliff Robinson commission – a “What If…The Joker became Chief Judge of Mega City One?” Hmmm…. the law is a joke…. bankers vs dodgy MPs vs stupid kids looting – bonuses, excuses and jail sentences for nicking a bottle of water. Seems rather apt. (Via 2000AD Online, but somewhere along [...]

Colleen Coover has put up a second of her very “Unofficial,Unsanctioned Unsolicited. Done for fun“ strips.
