The biggest comic-industry story of the week centers on serious allegations against Ed Brubaker stemming from the production of Amazon's Criminal, with Jace breaking down what has been alleged, what is actually known, and why judgment needs to wait for more facts. Also this week, Absolute Batman #24 reportedly approaches an extraordinary 487,000 orders as Barbara Gordon becomes The Bat, DC reveals Batman Day 2026, Marvel transforms Inglourious X-Force into Fugitive X-Force, Indiana Jones discovers Marvel artifacts, and Jace looks at Disney's Marvel acquisition 17 years later. Image and Ghost Machine bring updates for Ice Cream Man, Red Roots, Rook: Exodus, Geiger, Creature Corps, the Energon Universe, Spawn 77, Savage Dragon and Crowbound. BAD IDEA adds Seth Green to It Demands Sacrifice, launches Warbird, and unveils new The Detective covers, while Danny Trejo's Year of the Devil, the Soulfire Timeline Omnibus and Netflix's six newly optioned comic properties round out the news. Jace then makes eight What Hit predictions, counts down the Prana Top 10, goes 7-for-8 on last week's predictions, and finishes with Final Order Cutoff—including the highly unusual fact that there are no Marvel single issues on FOC this week. That absence is explicitly called out in the finished recording as something Jace cannot remember seeing before.

Batman: El Cruzado Enmascarado regresa con una temporada 2 más oscura, segura y atrevida. En esta crítica sin spoilers analizamos los diez nuevos episodios de la serie animada de Prime Video y por qué esta nueva etapa mejora varios aspectos importantes de su primera temporada. Hamish Linklater vuelve como Batman y Bruce Wayne, pero esta vez encontramos a un personaje que empieza a descubrir que trabajar solo no siempre es una virtud. Su relación con Alfred evoluciona, personajes como Barbara Gordon y Jim Gordon ganan importancia y la serie aprovecha mucho mejor las dos caras de Bruce: tanto el vigilante como el millonario capaz de utilizar su identidad pública para investigar. La temporada 2 de Batman: El Cruzado Enmascarado también lleva más lejos su mezcla de cine negro, historias detectivescas, ciencia ficción retro y, especialmente, terror. Gotham continúa teniendo una estética fantástica y sus nuevos casos permiten reinterpretar a varios villanos clásicos de Batman. Pero el gran protagonista es inevitablemente el Joker de Matthew Needham. Una versión mucho más fría, calculadora y contenida del personaje, que renuncia a buena parte de su componente cómico para convertirse en una presencia realmente inquietante. También hablamos de los problemas de ritmo de la temporada, su estructura episódica, las limitaciones de la animación y de por qué esta segunda entrega funciona mejor cuando se atreve a experimentar. ¿Puede dar más miedo el Joker precisamente cuando deja de intentar hacer gracia? #BatmanElCruzadoEnmascarado #Batman #Joker #PrimeVideo #DC #DCComics #Series Únete a nuestro canal y apoya a FUERA DE SERIES: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFNyyACx7XbgZ4-S4jzNnGQ/join Únete a nuestro chat de telegram en el que miles de personas hablamos cada día de series: - Telegram – Grupo de debate: https://telegram.me/fueradeseries - Telegram – Canal de noticias: https://t.me/noticiasfds Síguenos en nuestras plataformas y podcast sobre series: - Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/es/podcast/fuera-de-series/id288039262 - Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3RTDss6AAGjSNozVOhDNzX?si=700febbf305144b7&nd=1 - iVoox - https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-fuera-series_sq_f12063_1.html Redes Sociales - Twitter: https://twitter.com/fueradeseries - Facebook: https://facebook.com/fueradeseries - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fueradeseries/ - Youtube: https://youtube.com/fueradeseries Learn more about your ad choices.

The Lego Batman Movie shouldn't work as well as it does. A feature-length gag reel built out of plastic bricks has no business landing a real Batman character arc, and yet it does. In this episode, the hosts dig into how Will Arnett's relentlessly self-serious Batman powers the comedy rather than resisting it, why the film can lovingly mock eighty years of Bat-history without ever feeling like it's punching down at the source, and where its wall-to-wall frenetic pace becomes a barrier for viewers who came in expecting Gotham to stay serious. From the voice work and the surprisingly grounded take on Barbara Gordon to the anything-goes finale that stretches the premise to its limit, this conversation looks at what a Batman movie gains, and quietly gives up, when it decides not to take itself seriously.
Jace and Rocky break down all 13 DC releases for the week of August 19, 2026. Dark Knights of Steel #2 finds Amanda Waller's machinations continuing as an illness threatens Kara and the House of El, while Barbara Gordon serves as a literal Oracle and the developing relationship between Kal-El and Lois adds another layer to Tom Taylor's expanding fantasy world. Lobo #6 sends Lobo to Hell to battle the Tooth Fairy in an intentionally ridiculous detour, but the issue feels disconnected from the characters and plot threads Scotty Young had carried forward from the previous arc, making the story feel unusually disposable. End of Life #7 sees Eddie's attempt to do something genuinely good by rescuing a kidnapped kid land him in the hands of the killers hunting him, and after escaping another brutal beating he discovers Little Cock has finally caught up with him looking for revenge over the death of Big Cock. Beneath all the absurd violence and comedy, Eddie's relationship with his dying father continues to give the series a surprisingly human core. Deathstroke the Terminator #6 escalates Adeline's revenge from murdering Wintergreen to trying to kill Rose, forcing an already battered Slade into a confrontation with his ex-wife. Slade survives, but the real damage is psychological: stripped of his identity as the world's greatest assassin, he is left wondering what remains if he is no longer a "killer for hire" and is simply a killer. Catwoman #90 finally gives Maggie Kyle the chance to confront Black Mask and use a nerve agent against the man who murdered her husband and traumatized her, but what should have been a powerful moment of Maggie reclaiming her agency feels frustratingly abrupt and underdeveloped. The conclusion also leaves the fates of Black Mask and Katarina Belova open while Carmine Falcone remains firmly embedded in Selina's increasingly complicated family story. New Titans #38 brings Static to Titans Mountain while he struggles to control his powers, Yara Flor begins experiencing visions of her Amazonian homeland and Stephanie Brown continues growing into a leadership role. There are plenty of potentially interesting threads, but with so many characters competing for space, the issue feels disjointed and several of the Titans come across as noticeably younger and less experienced than their recent portrayals. Batman/Superman: World's Finest #54 drags Batman, Superman and their fellow heroes into Hell for a baseball game against its denizens in a deliberately absurd one-and-done that recalls DC's old Super-Sports stories. Mark Waid makes the ridiculous premise work, although for an actual baseball story, Jace wanted considerably more baseball. Absolute Flash #18 keeps expanding Wally's world as Absolute Hunter Zolomon, Director Bones and Eleanor Thawne all enter the picture, while Eleanor genuinely believes the Absolute Justice League are the good guys. Ralph Dibny may also have just experienced the event that gives him his powers, setting up a potentially wild confrontation between Wally, Abra Kadabra and Hunter Zolomon. Batwoman #6 flashes back through most of its story to events before the series began, clarifying how Kate and Beth reached the point where their stories diverged, before the final pages return to the present after Kate has rescued her sister. The added context helps explain some of the confusion from the first five issues, although ending with both sisters seeing the same psychiatrist still leaves the series in an unusual place moving forward. Absolute Green Arrow #4 provides more context for Absolute Oliver Queen's values and creates a stark contrast with Hector Hammond's depravity, while a terrifying Absolute Solomon Grundy enters the picture and Dinah Lance appears increasingly close to manifesting powers of her own. The lingering question remains whether the mysterious Green Arrow can actually be Oliver at all when Hammond claims Oliver Queen died and attempts to resurrect him failed. Nightwing #131 has Dick preparing to turn himself in over the catastrophic bridge accident no one believes was caused by a witch, only for another woman to suddenly confess to being the witch herself. That apparent manipulation deepens the supernatural mystery as events from Blüdhaven's past continue reaching into the present and Nightwing remains caught in the middle. Wonder Woman #36 continues Steve Trevor's telling of the story of the woman he loves to his daughter as Stephanie Williams retells Diana's origin with strong Clayton Henry artwork. There is little here that substantially changes the familiar story, but framing it through Steve sharing Diana's history with a daughter who is equal parts Steve and Diana gives the retelling some added emotional resonance. Finally, Superman Unlimited #16 pushes the Kingdom of Zod event forward at full speed as the Superman family rallies against Zod, including the first meeting between Mark Waid's current Superboy and Supergirl. Superman and Zod eventually suit up for a battle that is still raging when the issue ends, making this chapter feel less like a self-contained story and more like one sustained piece of a much larger action sequence. Jace and Rocky also cover this week's collected editions, reprints and facsimiles before ranking all 13 books and revealing their Books of the Week.

Nearly two years after it first debuted on the Jeffrey Bezos streaming network, Liam & Cal are wrapping up their final review of season one of Batman Caped Crusader with the episode "Savage Night." After our cliffhanger last week, we pick up with Barbara Gordon doing her best convince Harvey Dent to testify against those who left him scarred, but Harvey is struggling to accept the idea of not just accepting his fate as punishment for all of the deaths he's caused. What ends up being a race to get Harvey to safety with the help of the Commissioner and Batman before Boss Thorne can intercept the former D.A. is what is the main discussion of this episode. The hosts also discuss the slight improvement on visuals through some new settings and more action-packed sequences, some music that invokes the use of the themes in Batman: The Animated Series , the table being set for season two with a mysterious clown and Boss Thorne making an enemy of Batman and a voice cast that really outdo themselves for the finale.

Our hosts return to the Podcave to revisit one of the darkest and most beloved episodes of Batman: The Animated Series: “Over the Edge.” Alex and Will break down why this haunting story still stands tall as one of the very best episodes in the entire DCAU, and give praise to Bob Hastings, who delivers an Emmy-worthy performance as Commissioner Gordon.Along the way, the discussion covers everything from Barbara Gordon's stress-fueled nightmare being directed by Christopher Nolan, to her uncanny ability to use this encounter as an excuse to dodge her household chores in the future.Our hosts also unpack why Bane's accent and outfit have mysteriously changed (hey, prison changes people), speculate on what Batman really carries in his utility belt, and discuss why Gordon jumps to the wrong conclusions when Barbara sits him down for a “talk.”A deep dive into grief and fear with some laughs along the way - Over the Edge remains just as powerful, unsettling, and unforgettable as ever.Tip Jar: https://buymeacoffee.com/batmantaspod Buy Our Merch: https://www.bleakworld.store/category/btas-podcast-collaborationOutbreaks Issue 4 Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/outbreaks-1-4-an-ongoing-zombie-anthology-seriesMobster Mash 1-2 Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/mobster-mash-1-2-classic-movie-monsters-as-mobsters Join Our Discord - https://discord.com/invite/bQF76V3nUs TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@batmantaspod?_t=8zn1yhsgnfz&_r=1 Follow us on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@batmantaspod Follow the Pod on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/batmantaspod/ Follow the Pod on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BatmanTASPod Follow the Pod on Twitter - https://twitter.com/batmantaspod1 Subscribe to Will's Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/willrobson Speech Comics Website - https://www.speechcomics.com/ Will's WhatNot Page - https://www.whatnot.com/user/speechcomics
When subjects like rape, domestic violence, and bigotry make their way into the pages of American superhero comics, they don't just grab readers' attention—they make headlines. Today, we revisit some of the most controversial moments in superhero comics history. From the sexual assault of Barbara Gordon at the hands of the Joker, to Yellow Jacket physically abusing the Wasp, to the Punisher's brief and baffling transformation into a Black man, these moments forced fans and publishers alike to confront where the line should be drawn. We also discuss a crisis of consciousness with Captain America putting down his shield and becoming Nomad, only to later be fired by the government and replaced with John Walker We wrap things up by asking: Were these moments bold statements or just stunts for attention? How has the definition of “controversial” shifted over the years?
Barbara Gordon was introduced to add some flair to the final season of Batman '66, to try to buoy the sagging ratings on the show. And while she didn't save that series, she has become the iconic Batgirl of the comics, a character who has had a long career in various identities. This week, friend of the show and Patreon backer John Wickham returns to talk about three different phases of Barbara's time as Batgirl. We get a retelling of her origin with a modern slant, one of the early stories from her return to the identity in the New 52 and the culmination of the "Batgirl of Burnside" era.

The Huntress Podcast is back to talk about Batman: Huntress Cry For Blood 3, where the creators of this story stop, slow things down, and analyze the true struggle and pain of Helena Bertinelli. Contact us at www.thehuntresspodcast.com feathersandfoes@gmail.com Bluesky: huestone44.bsky.social www.patreon.com/wrightonnetwork Huntress: Cry for Blood 3 Cover Date: August 2000 Writer: Greg Rucka Artist: Rick Burchett Colorist: Tatjana Wood with Seperations by Jamison Letterer: Clem Robins Associate Editor: Joseph Illidge Editor: Dennis O'Neil So Much To Learn, If She Is To Survive Helena awakens in a cabin in Canada where a man introducing himself as Richard Dragon offers her tea and is repairing her Huntress costume. He says The Butterfly brought her to him. We can only assume he means the Question, who after all is the one that kicked her in the head last issue. Helena gets frustrated and threatens Richard before Vic Sage comes in. He comments that Helena's anger is like looking in a mirror. “We've come to know the world through violence and rage. We wear masks to hide from ourselves as much as others.” Then he reveals he is the Question and formally introduces himself to her. She quietly does the same. Meanwhile in Gotham, Tim Drake/Robin is meeting with Barbara Gordon aka Oracle. Tim doesn't believe the Huntress is the killer; it's too sloppy and she's too smart for this. Barbara is skeptical but Tim insists they have to learn the truth. Back at the cabin, Vic explains that Richard can teach Helena how to live, not just how to not die. Vic understands how isolated Helena is and that if she returns to Gotham now, she'll soon be dead or be forced to kill. Leaving her to think, Vic tells Richard he's returning to Gotham - he's got some questions. In Gotham, Tim returns to Barbara with newspaper clippings from Helena's past. They acknowledge that while Helena and Bruce both lost their parents at 8, in Helena's case all the Bertinelli's in the city were systematically eliminated, whether they were in the mafia or not. The real question is why and why Helena was left alive. Helena is doing Tai Chi with Richard. He explains, “Passion and rage as fuel. Fear and vengeance as destination. And the faster you move, the more your past drags at you, the more of you that breaks away.” She needs to remember to breathe. As Helena trains she acknowledges to herself that she lost her breath long ago, She's been running scared her whole life, trampling anyone or anything that gets in her way. But blood cries for blood and her family's is calling for her. How dare she refuse that? Later inspecting her costume, she tells Richard how the Huntress scares her. He says she should, that Huntress is a killer. But also that Helena no longer needs to don the mask, to be someone else. She already is the Huntress. Vic finally returns to take Helena back to Gotham. She seems calmer and more at peace. As the two walk down the mountain, Vic lets her know he stopped by Helena's apartment to help out with bills and chores and noticed it's being watched. She's not surprised. As they sit at a little town's bus stop, Vic asks her to tell the story of how she became the Huntress. Helena says: “It started in Sicily…”

Batman The Adventures Continue Season 1 Graphic Novel is the Animated Series continuation from original TV writers Paul Dini and Alan Burnett. Bringing together pretty much a season 5 but in comic book form with never used in the show characters and returning classics too. What makes this work so well compared to other series later days stories is by still having the original guys write the script. So the story never has that uncanny fan fiction feel to it that just makes some other classic shows just feel off in comic book form. All 8 of these issues are really something special and pair up nicely with some of the top tier episodes of the 90s cartoon show. Bringing in new characters that never appeared in the original show like Deathstroke and Red Hood Jason Todd. Then also creating some brand new ones too that just feel like they fit in perfectly. Plus of course all sorts of returning villains that one might and might not expect. Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Mad Hater, Scarface, Clayface, Lex Luthor, Killer Croc, Penguin, Firefly, and Clock King just to name a few. There's just so much going on in here that it almost needs a good 2 reads to catch all the well dialed in references. Catch back up with Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennywise, Barbara Gordon, Clark Kent, and Tim Drake (Oddly Dick Grayson is missing but there is two other graphic novels in the series) with us in this perfect example of nostalgia done right. So, come on by and join us on another adventure of OMO Podcast. Old Man Orange is Spencer Scott Holmes & Ryan Dunigan - 2024 - "Young Adults, Old Man Attitude.
