Batman: Caped Crusader Chronicles Game

 

I planned out my Thursday at San Diego Comic-Con around DC panels. But when I couldn't get into their first big one featuring Jim Lee, I opted to attend smaller panels instead. Still, the long lines prove that DC stories are connecting with fans, and that their love for DC's superheroes glows more brightly than the Sun Crystal in El Caldero. But how is DC expanding their brand? And how is the company reaching out across all mediums of storytelling?

Here's all the info from DC Comics:

 

Gotham City needs you! Amazon Luna announced Batman: Caped Crusader - Chronicles, officially licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, will launch on July 31 to coincide with the Season Two premiere of the acclaimed Batman: Caped Crusader animated series on Prime Video. Prime members can jump into the game on Luna at no additional cost. Play alongside iconic DC characters, featuring voice performances from some of the series' original cast, in an 11-episode adventure packed with challenging minigames that put your detective skills to the test.

Next week marks an exciting moment for fans of the franchise. Beginning today, Prime members with a Fire TV in the U.S. and U.K. can play Luna games directly on the Prime Video alongside shows, movies, and live sports. That means Batman fans will be able to access the new game and the TV series in one app, making it easier to jump straight into the action after watching the show. Play solo or with friends, using your smartphone as the controller, with no extra hardware and no downloads required. 

 

“PLAY” THE SERIES

One hard-fought truth Batman has revealed over the years, Gotham City's darkest crimes won't solve themselves. In this cooperative party game for 1 to 4 players, you and your crew will step into the noir-drenched Gotham City of Batman: Caped Crusader the animated series, where every alley hides a secret and every case leads deeper into the shadowy depths of the city's criminal underworld.

By playing alongside “Detective Montoya” as part of “Batman's” inner circle and GCPD taskforce, players will decode evidence, chase leads, and confront iconic DC Super-Villains across 11 gripping episodes. Along the way, each episode serves up new sleuthing minigames that will put your detective skills to the test. Investigate, interrogate and deduce your way through the tangled crime webs woven by Gotham City's most devious criminals, including “Scarecrow”, “Babyface”, “Tweedledee and Tweedledum”, “Dollmaker”, “Lynx”, “Music Meister”, and of course, the maniacal “The Joker”.   

 

 

To offer fans the ultimate connection between the show and the game, series stars Hamish Linklater and Michelle C. Bonilla reprise their roles as Batman and Detective Montoya in Batman: Caped Crusader - Chronicles. And today, Prime Video announced Matthew Needam as the voice of “The Joker” for Season Two of Batman: Caped Crusader, and he will also be voicing the notorious DC Super-Villain in the game. 

“We are excited to unveil the Batman: Caped Crusader - Chronicles game for Amazon Luna, launching in tandem with Season two of the hit Prime Video series, Batman: Caped Crusader,” said J.C. Connors, Director of Amazon Game Studios. “And now with Luna’s newly expanded availability through Prime Video, players with a Fire TV will be able to jump straight into the game seconds after watching the show, all within one unified entertainment experience.”  

 

 

How the Iconic Show Got a New Crime Fighting Partner

Season One of Batman: Caped Crusader struck a chord with audiences, climbing as high as #1 on Prime Video's global Top 10 list. With anticipation for Season Two running high, and Batman's following as strong as it's ever been, Amazon Luna and Prime Video created an opportunity for fans to inhabit and play inside Gotham City, as well as watch it.

Batman: Caped Crusader - Chronicles is a major new addition to GameNight, a growing collection of games only available through Amazon Luna and free for Prime members. Designed to make group play easy, Batman: Caped Crusader - Chronicles will turn game night into a Gotham City stakeout, all enjoyed on the biggest screen at home. Your phone is your controller. No extra hardware. No downloads. No skill gap. Whether it's family or friends game night, everyone can jump in and play, from first-time players to seasoned detectives.

Launching in Multiple Countries

On July 31, Batman: Caped Crusader - Chronicles will be available to Prime members and Luna subscribers on the Luna app in the U.S., UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Portugal, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

Grab your crew, put on your detective hat, and get ready — Gotham City's case files are about to open.

Action Comics #1100: Mission Failure Review

Writer: Mark Waid

Artist: Skylar Patridge & Ryan Sook

Colorist: Ivan Pascencia & Patricio Delpeche

Letterer: Steve Wands

Cover Artist: Ryan Sook

Variant Cover Artists: Mark Spears; David Talaski; Jim Cheung & Jay David Ramos; Rahzzah; Daniel Sampere & Tomeu Morey

Editors: Jillian Grant & Brittany Holzherr

Publisher: DC Comics

Price: $5.99 US/$6.99 US Card Stock/$7.99 US Foil

Release Date: July 22, 2026

 

Young Clark Kent didn't ask Martian Manhunter, Booster Gold, and Mary Marvel to bring their battle to his time. He didn’t ask to lose his superpowers. Nor did he ask Epoch to try to kill him. Still, he had his new friends to defend him. But then, they weren’t around. Despite their promise to protect him, when Epoch returns, Clark Kent must defend himself against the time traveler who laughs at paradoxes.

 

Can scientist Bruce Gordon help the high schooler reclaim his superpowers? And how will Clark defend himself against his armored adversary? Let’s leap into Action Comics #1100 and see!

 

Mission Failure: Story

A cow's kick might hurt him. Clark might struggle to keep up in PE class. He might even need people to speak up when they talk to him. Still, there were compensations. Clark toyed with the idea of enjoying his teen years without the responsibility of protecting the planet weighing him down. Then, Mary Marvel disappeared.

 

Now, Clark's in Solar City. Booster Gold and Martian Manhunter have been erased from existence. But Clark has repurposed the spaceship that brought him to Earth into armor. And although he's not accustomed to fighting with a sword and shield, Clark needs to buy time until Dr Bruce Gordon can repair his solar recharger.

 

In Mark Waid's story, Clark Kent wants all the things his friends and neighbors do. He knows he's fighting for the planet and to help his friends from the future return to life. Clark Kent may only be a teenager. He may not be as experienced as his former teacher, Captain Comet. Still, Clark must draw on any advantage he can to regain his powers before Epoch kills him in Action Comics #1110.

 

Mission Failure: Art

Clark carries a sword and wears an armored version of his Superboy costume. As he withstands the energy rays from Epoch’s shoulder cannons, angled panels enhance the desperate struggle. When Epoch pounds him into the laboratory floor, the crumpled concrete gives way to fractured panels in the ground.

 

Ivan Pascencia and Patricio Delpeche enhance Skylar Patridge and Ryan Sook's art with bold colors in Action Comics #1100. The strong blues, reds, and golds shine, casting Dr Gordon's lab into darkness. Amid the speed and brutality of the fight, softer tones color Clark's memories. Yet as the battle ascends toward its zenith, darkness threatens to envelop the combatants.

 

Steve Wands places lowercase black words in a typewriter font inside yellow boxes as Clark sets the scene. Orange letters in yellow boxes locate readers in time and space. Uppercase black letters in white dialogue balloons turn bold with intonation and swell for raised voices. Large, colorful dialogue accompanies pain, while wiggly balloon arrows convey weakness. Bright, colorful sound effects enhance the armored combat and Epoch’s unrelenting firepower. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing Mission Failure and the three other stories in Action Comics #1100 with us.

 

Final Thoughts

Clark’s struggle with time began when cause and effect went out of whack. Then, at the Expo of Tomorrow, Clark rescued Mary Marvel, Martian Manhunter, and Booster Gold from Epoch’s attack. While he fights to preserve his own future, Clark also fights to reinstate his new friend's tomorrows. Clark's future wife will worry about her son's ability to follow in his parents' footsteps. Yet, Mission Failure demonstrates that Jon Kent will take his father's formative experiences to heart in Action Comics #1100.

Now, Rob Liefeld is returning to San Diego Comic-Con to celebrate the return of another of his characters to comics. Here's all the info:

Detective Comics #1111 Review

 

Detective Comics #1111 Review

Writer: Tom Taylor

Artist, Colorist & Cover Artist: Mikel Janín

Letterer: Wes Abbott

Variant Cover Artists: Declan Shalvey & Carmine Di Giandomenico

Editors: Jessica Berbey, Ben Meares & Rob Levin

Publisher: DC Comics

Price: $4.99/$5.99

Release Date: July 22, 2026

 

Batman hasn't always been the indomitable Caped Crusader he is today. And anyone can get caught unawares. Over a decade ago, how Batman reacted to mortal danger helped Prion understand him better. The two men bonded over their desire to shield children from traumatic situations.

 

Now, after tracking Prion's daughter to her home, Batman confirms his suspicions. Arabella is a captive of people who use her as a weapon. Black Canary, no stranger to brainwashing, insists on sneaking inside the compound to rescue her. But will Arabella let her? Or will Black Canary's admission about how Arabella's father died doom the surviving members of Flight Squadron Delta? Let’s leap into Detective Comics #1111 and see!

 

Story

While Green Arrow’s masquerade mask helps Prion connect with him, Batman’s cowl shields his features more effectively. So, when Batman tracks Prion to his home, Prion admits he knows he’s Bruce Wayne. But after what he’s endured, Prion is fiercely independent. No matter how well-intentioned, Prion refuses to let someone else take care of him.

 

While Detective Comics #1111 reveals how closely knit the quartet had become, it also reveals how Prion died. Sadly, his choice of a superhero name proves more apt than Prion could have anticipated. Ever since his death, Prion's final words have haunted Bruce.

 

After providing a glimpse of the past, Tom Taylor returns readers to the present. Refusing to mislead Arabella, Black Canary explains how Prion died. But the girl’s grandmother reveals that this moment is not preserved in amber. Her organization can shield Arabella from this traumatic revelation, empowering the girl to utilize her exemplary skills.

 

Tom Taylor's story contrasts Batman, Green Arrow, and Black Canary's concern for others with Arabella's controllers. It casts light on the painful past that Prion sought to hide from his new friends. Yet it also points out that we are the summation of everything we've learned and experienced. Perhaps Batman was right to ask the boy on the train to look away when his death seemed certain. But not knowing the truth about their lives puts individuals under others' control in Detective Comics #1111.

 

Art

Batman finds Prion in a cabin, warming his hands over a fire in a metal bucket. The next day, Green Arrow shows Prion uniforms. While intended for all of them, the coloring most closely matches Prion's normal attire. Emblazoned on the front is a combined symbol of the members of Flight Squadron Delta. Sadly, the symbol will prove prophetic, but not in the way Batman intended.

 

As Mikel Janín fills pages with a variety of layout styles, the colors speak to the ideas Detective Comics #1111 raises. Blue dominates Prion’s cabin and will feature prominently on the team’s uniform. Yet when Batman insists that Prion doesn't have to struggle, the background turns green. The green color also links with Green Arrow, as Oliver Queen has strived to get drugs off the streets in Star City and Gotham. The yellow fire in the can reflects off Prion's uniform, as he speaks about what's holding him back. Combined with red, it seems a warning of how Prion will meet his end. Nonetheless, Batman strides boldly into red panels as the story reaches its climax.

 

Wes Abbott fills white balloons with uppercase dialogue in balloons and colored narrative boxes. The letters grow bold for intonation, shrink for lowered voices, and deform balloons when they swell. White lowercase letters locate the reader in time and space. Sound effects heighten the fighting, alarms, deploying ordinance, and a Canary Cry. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

When Prion told Batman that he didn't have a choice about the monster he used to be, Batman insisted that everyone always has a choice.

 

As Batman seeks to rescue a girl from the people who control her, he continues his investigation into the deaths of the informants slated to testify against Klep Corp. Experience has taught Batman that the world is more complex than he once imagined. Yet, even as he stares death in the face, Batman still insists that circumstances and other people will never determine his future in Detective Comics #1111.

Everything is new for the Titans. They've made a new home in the Justice League's former Secret Sanctuary. Everyone is new to working together. They've even got a new teammate in Eva, an android sporting advanced bio-robotics that are totally new to Cyborg.

 

Unfortunately, Cyborg is experimenting with something everyone knows and fears. And Red Devil has spotted someone in the nearby town of Happy Harbor who awakens bad memories. Can the New Titans gel together as friends and a team? And who will lead them? Let's leap into New Titans #37 and see!

 

Story: Home is Where the Heart of Apokolips is Part 2

Starfire has left the Titans. No one recognizes Nightwing’s authority. With Cyborg sequestered in his laboratory, Terra considers leaving. But when she ventures down into Cyborg’s Omega Forge, Terra sees what Cyborg doesn’t. A dragon is watching Cyborg work on his equipment powered by Darkseid’s Heart of Apokolips.

 

While her friends and neighbors sacrifice to help their town thrive, Officer Audrey Lee sees the evil in their pact with Nebiros. Unlike Cyborg, they’re unhappy when Red Devil alerts them to the dangers they face. So, while Cyborg and Terra fight together in the Justice League's former Secret Sanctuary, Red Devil and his new teammates battle the citizens of Happy Harbor in New Titans #37.

 

Tate Brombal highlights Red Devil’s origins while weaving events in the Secret Sanctuary into the clash in Happy Harbor. Amid all the action, Nightwing ponders whether he should follow Starfire's course. Nightwing has led the Titans in the past. Cyborg brought this new group together. But as the team changes, Red Devil and his colleagues must decide who will lead them into the future in New Titans #37.

 

Art: Home is Where the Heart of Apokolips is Part 2

Red Devil exhales fire as he remembers the events that defined him. After starring on the first page, Red Devil stands at the forefront on the second, his wings intruding on our view of Nebiros and his supporters. Yet Batgirl steals the bottom panel as she looks for her missing teammate. Amid the tense standoff, Officer Audrey Lee interposes herself between the heroes and her misguided neighbors. Yet a handcuff dangles from her wrist, indicating the town's feelings about her recent actions.

 

In Mount Titans, Terra and Cyborg gaze up at a dragon with many eyes. Despite his former blindness to the Dragon, Cyborg is quick to react. The fiery confrontation evokes the Terrific Ten’s recent incursion into Hell and suggests that the barriers between Earth and Hell are far from closed.

 

As Adriano Lucas adorns Marcus To’s action-packed art with a pleasing palette, the Red Devil and the Dragon seem linked together in New Titans #37. The orange lava surrounding the Dragon suggests that Cyborg wants more than he should have. Like Officer Audrey Lee, Wonder Girl and Superman wear grayish blue. Even though Nightwing wonders where he belongs, the blue portions of his costume shine brightly as he reacts to danger. Green Nebiros and Eva both want to bring people together. Yet as yellow fire erupts in Mount Titans and fills the sky over Happy Harbor, Batgirl’s indigo suit multiplies across pages as she capitalizes on her dedication in the Titans’ Training Simulator.

 

As black uppercase letters fill white balloons, Red Devil’s conversation fills yellow balloons, and his thoughts appear in yellow boxes. Terra, Nightwing, and Batgirl’s off-camera conversation appears in colored boxes and often guides readers from one page to the next. Red letters establish locations, while giant colored dialogue accompanies roaring, cries of dismay, and laughter. Tom Napolitano’s sound effects enhance the fighting, as energy blasts tear through the air, and a rumble shakes the Earth. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

Like Dick Grayson, Virgil Hawkins has a lot on his plate. But unlike Dick, Virgil struggles with telling his girlfriend about his superhero life. Amara senses the conflict within him. Yet whatever is going on, Virgil refuses to share it with her. In Tate Brombal and Sam Basri’s bonus story “The Spark,” Static has some thinking to do. And as with all the residents of Mount Titans, it involves where he belongs in New Titans #37.
