Happy Baturday, everyone! We saw a lot of great Batman goodness in the month of April and I’m here to dissect it all and divulge my thoughts on the whole shebang along the way. Some comics came to an end, some left us with cliffhangers, and some simply transitioned us from one storyline to the next. And then there’s the small screen Batman fun. But enough introduction. Here are my thoughts on April’s Batman-related releases:

My Pick of the Month: BATMAN!!!
Tom King continues his reign as the premiere Bat writer. Where the TV shows give us enough Batman (without actually giving us a cape and cowl Dark Knight), the comics are always the main reason for the love we all share for the Caped Crusader. What were your favorite Batman-related moments in April? Anything make you scream, cry, or jump for joy? We’d love to hear from you. Let us know what you’re thinking in the comments or on social media. And we’ll see you all again at the end of May for another thrilling installment of Baturday!
