The LEGO Batman Returns

Warner Bros. Games, TT Games, DC, and The LEGO Group have announced the LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight comic book tie-in, a new, standalone LEGO Batman story based on the upcoming videogame, that will be available on May 2 in celebration of Free Comic Book Day.

The story, titled The LEGO Batman Returns, follows a day in the life of LEGO Batman as he returns to Gotham City after a hiatus and encounters a variety of familiar DC characters, paying homage to the Dark Knight’s history in media, with references to past films, television shows, and comic books, combined with signature LEGO humor.

Today marks the anniversary of Batman’s first appearance in Detective Comics #27, released on March 30, 1939. As a callback to the inaugural issue, the beginning panel artwork in The LEGO Batman Returns story depicts the iconic image of the Caped Crusader swinging over the Gotham City skyline, which is inspired by the classic cover image – one of several nods to DC lore sprinkled within the comic tie-in.

Fans can pick up a free physical copy of the LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Comic Book Tie-In at local participating comic shops (while supplies last) as part of Free Comic Book Day on May 2. The comic will also be available for free digitally via the DC UNIVERSE INFINITE app on the same day.

The LEGO Batman Returns is written by Ivan Cohen, with art by Paul Lee.

Free Comic Book Day is an annual event held on the first Saturday of May when comic shops around the globe give away free comics from publishers across the industry. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight launches worldwide on May 22, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store).

Hannah Berry’s Adamtine being developed by Wiip

Posted on by

Adamtine, the horror graphic novel by Hannah Berry, is in develop to be a feature film by Wiip. Mark Roybal, Paul Lee, and Nate Winslow will produce the film and Berry will be an executive producer.

In Adamtine, four strangers on the last train home are stalked by a shapeless evil with nowhere to run. They all have connections to a serial killer.

The full description of the graphic novel:

All people could do was speculate on the fate of those who vanished—strangers; seemingly random, unconnected: all plucked from their lives and never seen again. The notes found left behind, apparently describing some slender reason for their removal, were all that linked them. They were all delivered by one man. Rodney Moon had admitted seeing those who had been disappeared and to passing the notes, but denied any involvement beyond that. Who wrote the letters, then? Moon shrugged during the trial: “It has no name,” he said. “It’s a bogeyman. A monster.” He was not mourned when the vengeful bereft finally found him. Some years later, four strangers; seemingly random, unconnected, all take the last train home. But something each of them has forgotten—or is trying to forget—is catching up with them; with a terrible, inexorable purpose. The devil is in the detail, as they say.

The graphic novel was published in 2012.

DARK HORSE ANNOUNCES SPIKE SERIES!

JOSS WHEDON’S ANTIHERO VAMPIRE RETURNS!

APRIL 18, MILWAUKIE, OR – Dark Horse Comics announces a brand-new Spike miniseries slated for release this summer!

Written by Victor Gischler (X-Men, Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth) and drawn by Paul Lee (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Devil’s Footprints), Spike promises to be the series all Joss Whedon fans will be talking about.

Spike ventures off world in his bug ship in order to get away from some personal frustration on terra firma, and winds up sucked into a demonic plot to take advantage of the absence of magic on earth.

“What I love about working with Dark Horse on Buffy-related material is that they take great care to capture the feel of the characters and stories from the television show, of which I was a huge fan. Getting my hands on the characters I’ve loved so much over the years is a dream come true,” said Gischler.

Spike #1 will be on sale August 22, 2012!
