HUSH is a machine made to sell Batman comics, and a better mystery than many give it credit for.

Hush - Riddles in the Dark Why the most successful Batman story of the 21st Century remains the most divisive. I've been struggling to pick a subject for the last few days-- bouncing from possibility to possibility, paralyzed by abundance of choice. This is a blog about older Batman comics, and I don't take it terribly seriously but I want each and every piece to sing as loudly as it can. I'd like it to be more stimulating than simply pointing out that a given issue is particularly good. Happily, fate obliged and provided me with the perfect jumping off point for discussion: Bleeding Cool dropped the bombshell that writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee, the team behind the most commercially successful run on BATMAN since the Silver Age, would be returning to the character in March 2025; that Lee was working overtime now to have issues in the can for publication next year; and that it may either be a return to the main book or a stand alone miniseries.

The Morrison Run, a preamble

Part I of a continuing series of reviews on Grant Morrison's Batman Epic. Batman by Grant Morrison Prologue: 52 #30 and #47 In retrospect, it was all there from before the beginning.

Just like his run on X-Men six years previous, it signaled a new direction for a beloved comics property, and just as with X-Men it was abandoned as soon as it ended for being too strange, too different, too idiosyncratic. Over the course of the next year, this blog will attempt to catalogue the entirety of Morrison's run on Batman from the legendary Batman and Son story that introduced Damian Wayne; through the watershed 16-issue blitz of Batman...

In honor of Arkham Shadow, we present the BEST Two-Face origin - Batman (Vol. 1) Annual 14

Is it just me, or is there a bit of self-portrait on the Harvey half of this incredible Neal Adams cover? Batman (vol.1) Annual #14 - "The Eye of the Beholder" Written by Andrew Helfer Pencils by Chris Sprouse Inks by Steve Mitchell If you ask a YouTube content creator or your barber or a newborn babe what the greatest depiction of Harvey Dent's transformation into Two-Face is what you're likely to hear about is Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's famous 12 issue limited series The Long Halloween , which has been canonized by the heads of DC as one of the all-time greats. Film fans might point to Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight , and video game fans have gotten two unique (and worthwhile in their own right) versions of the story with Batman: The Telltale Series and Arkham Shadow . But all these fine answers are wrong. The arc of Harvey Dent's rise and fall was never more richly captured than in the subject of today's article. Andrew Helfer and Chris Sprouse...
