Batman & Robin: Year One – White Elorda’s Nerdy Lifestyle Blog

New Comic Day – 29th October 2025

Posted on October 30, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How has your week been going? I hope that this post finds you well.

I’m doing well – I’m enjoying the rain today, despite the chill it brings with it.

Today’s post is my weekly round up of new comic releases that I picked up from my local store.

Let’s get right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Batman 2025 Annual. One Shot. Cover A.

Absolute Batman takes on some white nationalists in this one-shot annual issue. We get to see a little bit more of Bruce’s relationship with his father, and we learn more insight into how this Absolute Batman’s mind works.

The art style of both stories contained in here is very cool. It’s very bold and dynamic.

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #12. Cover A.

In the final issue of this run, we see the Dynamic Duo earn that nickname as they take on Two-Face and Clayface.

I really have enjoyed the way that this story has built up the relationship between both Batman and Robin, as well as Bruce and Dick. It’s a kind of wholesome that we don’t see much in Batman stories anymore.

Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween #10.

Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween. Issue #10. Cover A.

Another final issue; and another final issue that pits Batman and Robin against Two-Face.

The ‘freaks’ of Gotham face of against the ‘family’ of Gotham, made up of the remnants of the Falcone Crime Family. Can Batman stop the war before it starts, before it spills out over all of Gotham? Can he finally put a stop to the Holiday killer?

Another run that I really enjoyed – I just need to go back and read it as a whole, as there were some gaps in the publication, and I tend to forget little details.

Return to Sleepy Hollow. Issue #1. Cover A.

Set several years after the Tim Burton film Sleepy Hollow, this spooky tale follows a new set of murders in the small hamlet of Sleepy Hollow.

This was a perfect Halloween read and I am looking forward to seeing where it goes!

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

New Comic Day – 20th August 2025

Posted on August 21, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How has your week been going? Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?

I apologise for missing last week’s post – I was dealing with a family situation that kept me from really having time to post, or even pick up my comics.

I’m doing OK though.

Today’s post is my weekly round-up of new releases that I picked up from my local comic book store.

Let’s get right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Batman. Issue #11. Cover A.

We learn the story behind Bane, and how he came to be the utter monster that he is in this universe. We also get a small glimpse into Absolute Joker, and the role he is going to play in the wider story.

Will Bruce allow himself to be broken? To become something greater in the aftermath?

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #10. Cover A.

Two-Face and Clayface have teamed up and put their plan into action!

Just as Batman and Robin are starting to work together – what nefarious plan will pull them apart?

I’m definitely enjoying this run, and watching the bond build between Bruce and Dick, actually seeing some give and take from both sides.

Nightwing. Issue #129. Cover A.

The torment of Nite-wing, and the takeover of Titans Tower are finally at a close. A new hero emerges from the aftermath – will he prove to be an ally to Nightwing, or another obstacle that Dick ends up having to juggle.

This issue is full of a lot of cute moments, including some find memories between Dick and Alfred.

Titans. Issue #26. Cover A.

Cyborg and Beast Boy on a vacation together? What could go wrong?

Throw in a couple of missing members of the Doom Patrol and I’m sure it will be a lot.

I still think this run is speeding through storylines too quickly, but I’ll wait and see if they’re building to something in the future.

Variant Covers

Absolute Flash. Issue #6. Variant Cover by David Talaski.

It’s all about the Rogues in this issue, we learn how the group was brought together, and how they got their updated powers.

Detective Comics. Issue #1100. Variant Cover by Bruno Redondo.

This landmark issues features a collection of short stories of the Dark Knight at his very best. Ace the Bat-Hound even makes an adorable appearance.

With all of the dark Batman stories going around, it’s lovely to see some of the positive sides to Bruce, and the things that really make him a hero.

Nightwing. Issue #129. Variant Cover by Jorge Fornes.

Couldn’t resist this variant cover, I just love the graffiti style are and the sign to Bludhaven.

Graphic Novels

Absolute Superman. Volume 1: Last Dust of Krypton.

Collects issue 1-6 of Absolute Superman.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

New Comic Day – 18th June 2025

Posted on June 19, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? I hope that this week has been treating you well. Do you have anything fun going on this weekend?

I’m hoping to enjoy a couple of lazy days this weekend. Other than that I am doing pretty well.

Today’s post is my weekly round up of new releases that I picked up from my local comic store.

Let’s get into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Flash. Issue #4. Cover A.

Wally and Grodd are on the run together – and the find shelter at a local youth mission. Might Wally have made an ally here? Also – what other experiments were going on? What has been unleashed?

Really enjoying this run so far – it’s refreshing to see a teenage main character act and think like a teen.

Nightwing. Issue #127. Cover A.

There’s something freaky going on in Bludhaven – and it’s taking over the Titans Tower. Nightwing is torn between a family obligation and saving the person he loves most.

Titans. Issue #24. Cover A.

Terra’s back! That means bad news for the Titans as the master maniupulator turns one of their own against them. Will Beast Boy be able to put his feelings aside and do what needs to be done?

Will Roy and Donna ever be able to have that talk?

Variant Covers

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #8. Variant Cover by Evan “Doc” Shaner.

Are the Dynamic Duo finally learning to work together? It is coming together too late? Bruce is beginning to understand his misgivings about being a father, and Clayface is closing in on the Batman.

I adore this cover so much!

Detective Comics. Issue #1098. Variant Cover by Stephen Byrne.

Batman and the Penguin working together? If it means solving the mystery of Elixir, then I guess so. Don’t forget to add Harvey Bullock to the mix.

It starts out as a rescue mission – but how will it end.

I think this is the only Pride cover that I picked up this month and it is definitely a good one!

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

New Comic Day – 21st May 2025

Posted on May 22, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How has your week been treating you? Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?

Today’s post is my weekly round up of new comic releases that I picked up from my local comic book shop.

Let’s dive right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Flash. Issue #3. Cover A.

Has Wally finally found an ally in this mad new world of his?

Grodd’s design is adorable, and a little unsettling all at the same time.

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #7. Cover A.

Batman and Robin are starting to figure out their dynamic. Two-Face attempts to recruit Clayface. Someone is following Bruce – will they discover his secret?

Detective Comics. Issue #1097. Cover A.

Now that Asema is behind bars, Batman moves on to the next part of the mystery – the organisation behind her. Is Harvey Bullock the only one who can help?

It’s really cool to start seeing detective work become part of the story again.

Nightwing. Issue #126. Cover A.

The secret of Captain Hallow is revealed, and the Commissioner realises that there is no-one she can trust.

Will she be able to put her trust in Nightwing? And have they stopped Captain Hallow for good?

Titans. Issue #23. Cover A.

The Titans are trying to adjust to their newest member. Is Vanadia all that appears, or could something more sinister be lurking within her circuits?

Compendiums

Nightwing: A Knight in Bludhaven. Compendium #2.

Nightwing’s new life in Bludhaven continues as Dick Grayson decides to become a member of the Bludhaven Police Force. Will he be able to change things from the inside?

I love having these stories in Compendium format – it makes them much easier to binge read.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

New Comic Day – 19th February 2025

Posted on February 20, 2025 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How has the week been treating you so far? Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?

My week has been pretty good. I attended Katsucon last week, which was a blast – thanks to some of my amazing friends. I’m getting settled back in at home now, and it’s been pretty relaxing.

Today’s post is my weekly round up of the new releases that I picked up from my local comic book store.

Let’s get right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #5. Cover A.

Bruce and Dick continue to be at odds as a gang war is being orchestrated in Gotham’s underworld.

Batman has his first face-off with Clayface, and Robin goes off on his own – can the dynamic duo learn to work as a team, before it’s too late?

Nightwing. Issue #123. Cover A.

Nightwing continues to try and come to the heart of the conspiracy working in Bludhaven. Can he convince the gangs to trust him enough to stop a war?

Miranda’s job as Mayor is under threat – what kind of deal with the devil will she make? And how will that impact Nightwing as the story progresses?

This storyline is starting to get intriguing – not that it hasn’t been from the start. I hope that we get more circus clues in the next issue, just to keep that theme going.

Titans. Issue #20. Cover A.

Raven’s powers continue to be on the fritz, and they are affecting the other Titans.

Deathstroke’s plan is starting to come together, and I’m looking forward to seeing where it will go, and how the Titans will handle it under Donna’s leadership.

Variant Covers

Nightwing. Issue #123. Variant Cover by Dan Panosian.

Nightwing. Issue #123. Variant Cover by Gleb Melnikov.

Nightwing. Issue #123. Variant Cover (Hush) by Giuseppe Camuncoli & Alex Sinclair.

This Hush variant cover is so cool.

Graphic Novels

Red Hood: The Hill.

I’m giving this story another chance now that I can read it all in one go. I don’t think my opinion on it is going to change too much, but I’m willing to try.

As a Red Hood fan, I really just want to see him get decent storylines again, that actually focus on him, and don’t just use his name because it makes money.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

New Comic Day – 20th November 2024

Posted on November 21, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How has the week been treating you? Do you have anything planned for the upcoming weekend?

I am doing well. I had some car troubles earlier in the week, which was a little bit stressful, but it’s resolved now. I’m looking forward to visiting a museum this weekend.

Today’s post is my weekly round-up of new releases that I picked up from my local comic book store.

Let’s dive right into it – shall we?

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #2. Cover A.

The mysterious General continues to make his move on Gotham City. Bruce has social services breathing down his neck, waiting for him to fail to take care of Dick.

I’m really enjoying the dynamic developing between Bruce and Dick, where they don’t see eye-to-eye, and Dick not having Bruce’s full trust yet. It’s also cool to see the little moments of genuine care that Bruce allows to slip through the mask.

Batman & Robin: Year One #1 – Noir Edition.

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #1. Noir Edition.

Another Noir edition for my collection. Similar to Absolute Batman from last week, this is just a reprint of issue #1, just all in black and white. This art style also suits the noir really well.

Titans. Issue #17. Cover A.

The Clock King wants to use the memories of the Titans to figure out who they are and how to defeat them for good. Will new leader, Donna Troy, be able to rally the team to stop him?

Titans. Issue #17. Variant Cover by Rahzzah.

I love Roy’s expression on this variant cover, and Beast Boy as the little owl.

Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter. Issue #5. Cover A.

The truth of the Allwinter has been revealed – what part did Slade have to play?

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

Posted on October 17, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How has your week been going so far? Do you have anything planned for the upcoming weekend?

My week so far has been OK. I celebrated my 10 year anniversary with my partner, which was pretty cool, but other than that the week has just been so-so.

Today’s post is my weekly round up of all of the new comic releases that I picked up from my local comic book store.

Let’s jump right into it – shall we?

Batman & Robin: Year One. Issue #1. Cover A.

It’s the public debut of the dynamic duo in this new comic run! How will Gotham City react to Batman’s young new partner?

I’m curious to see where this run will go. The first issue was a good setup, and establishes the dynamic between Bruce and Dick really well.

Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter. Issue #4. Cover A.

Nightwing. Issue #118. Cover A.

The last issue of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s run of Nightwing!

Nightwing finally faces off against Heartless man-to-man! How will he defeat his latest villain, who is determined to destroy him as both Nightwing and Dick Grayson?

I am looking forward to seeing where Dan Watters and Dexter Soy take this story.

Nightwing. Issue #118. Variant Cover by Bruno Redondo.

Nightwing. Issue #118. Variant Cover by Jamal Campbell.

You can be sure is Jamal Campbell puts out a variant cover for Nightwing, then I will be picking it up!

Nightwing. Issue #118. Variant Cover by Serg Acuna.

Titans. Issue #16.

Arsenal is back with the Titans! What changes will the team go through in the aftermath of Absolute Power?

Titans. Issue #16. Trick or Treat Variant Cover by Kelley Jones and Jose Villarrubia.

Another Trick or Treat variant cover to add to my collection.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!
