This Batwoman article contains spoilers through Season 2, Episode 12. Following the revelation earlier this season that Kate Kane is, in fact, very much alive, Batwoman fans have been wondering how, exactly, the former Scarlet Knight might return to a show that has largely moved on without her. After all, Ryan Wilder is fully Batwoman in her own right now and the show has recalibrated itself accordingly. Her unique perspective as both a Black woman and a product of Gotham’s failed justice system has allowed Batwoman to tell the kinds of radically different stories that most superhero series aren’t even…

The Dark Knight is on the verge of losing Gotham, according to writer James Tynion IV, who is kicking off his second year on Batman with his most ambitious story yet, one that is as much the epic tale of an entire city as it is an intimate look at its heroes. Gotham is changing rapidly, rebuilding itself in the wake of the Joker War, and several factions, including the mysterious transhumanist gang known as the Unsanity Collective, are vying for control of the city. Lurking in the shadows of this new war for the soul of Gotham are the…

DC Extended Universe film The Batman is set to debut Robert Pattinson’s all-new Dark Knight at theaters in early 2022, after which it will be complemented on the small screen—under the creative stewardship of the film’s director, Matt Reeves—by HBO Max’s untitled prequel television series focused on the Gotham PD. Yet, while speculation over crossover synergy has been permeating ever since the series was announced, HBO’s Casey Bloys seems to (ever so slightly) open the possibility of an appearance from the Dark Knight himself. The idea that characters from The Batman could appear on the Gotham PD prequel series—which bore…

This Batwoman article contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 3. Classic Batman villain Victor Zsasz burst onto the scene in this week’s Batwoman with what is simultaneously the creepiest and most fun villain introduction on the series yet. Tricking his way into a hotel suite with a bottle of high end champagne, the notorious hitman took out a high roller and his mistress by order of the man’s wife, telling them so as he chased them around the hotel room and killed them, making sure the mistress knew Zsasz’s client splashed out more than her now-dead husband. The scene is…

We finally have our first look at The Batman and it’s safe to say that director Matt Reeves’ new take on the Dark Knight isn’t quite what most of us expected. Introducing a messier and scrappier vigilante than past iterations of the character, the Batman reboot seems to play more like the Bat’s extended fever dream of a city hellscape haunted by serial killers, crime lords, and master thieves than a traditional superhero action movie. And the trailer shows us just how he deals with these demons, as he beats the living crap out of goons, smashes his Batmobile through…

At long last, we have a new Batman game to look forward to, only WB Games Montreal’s new Gotham-set open-world co-op adventure doesn’t actually feature the Dark Knight. Instead, Gotham Knights is set after the death of Bruce Wayne, which leaves the city in the hands of his surrogate crime-fighting children. Batgirl, Nightwing, Robin, and Red Hood must now work together to take on new threats to Gotham, including a mysterious new criminal cabal known as the Court of Owls. The extended Bat-Family taking on the Caped Crusader’s duties as protectors of Gotham City is the logical progression of the…

The long-awaited reveal of the Gotham Knights trailer not only confirmed years of suspicion regarding the game’s title, villains, and release window, but it verified that Gotham Knights will at the very least take some inspiration from 2015’s Batman: Arkham Knight. While the trailer may make it seem at first like Gotham Knights is a follow-up to the Arkham trilogy of games, WB Games Montreal has made it clear that its new Batman-less Batman game is actually set in its own universe unrelated to the Rocksteady universe. But even if that’s the case, it’s clear that Gotham Knights takes at…

Matt Reeves gives great interviews under ordinary circumstances, but at his DC Fandome panel for The Batman he gave us a whole lot to chew on including some new details about his recently announced Gotham PD set series on HBO Max. According to the writer/director the show will be set during “Year One” of Batman’s career which makes it a prequel to the highly-anticipated movie which takes place during”Year Two.” That would have been a big reveal in itself but Reeves had more to say about the upcoming TV series. So what was it that excited Reeves about potentially expanding…

The Bat-Family are back baby! Well, they’ve never really been gone but despite their occasional appearances in the smash-hit Batman: Arkham games series we’ve never gotten a dedicated game focused on Batman’s numerous wards until now. Gotham Knights showcases Barbara Gordon’s Batgirl, Jason Todd’s Red Hood, Tim Drake’s Robin, and of course Dick Grayson’s Nightwing teaming up to protect a Gotham that’s left defenseless after the apparent death of Batman. Now, where might we have seen a story like that before… Batman: Battle for the Cowl was a 2009 miniseries written and drawn by Tony Daniel, with inks by Sandu…

Barbara Gordon is one of Gotham’s most iconic heroes, and in the newly announced Gotham Knights, she’ll be taking to the streets under her most famous mantle, Batgirl. Alongside her other Bat-Family super-siblings, she’ll be protecting the city from the mysterious organization known as the Court of Owls, but if you’ve played the Arkham games, you might be wondering why she is no longer in a wheelchair and using the mantle of Oracle. The official press release from WB Games gives a brief indication of how Babs becomes Batgirl again: “Barbara Gordon is a determined fighter and a skilled hacker.…

Gotham Knight‘s debut trailer begins with a stunning sequence in which Bruce Wayne informs his closest allies that he is dead and that it’s now up to them to protect Gotham City. This sequence is actually an extension of the end of Batman: Arkham Knight, which saw Bruce Wayne initiate the Knightfall Protocol, ending his own life. While Batman’s death at the end of the game seems like an open and shut case, not everyone is convinced the Dark Knight is really gone. And while WB Games has certainly made it look like the Caped Crusader is really gone in…
