Batman (BM) goes up against a werewolf! Blood and guts all over the place! Ontological questions relating to the existence of good and evil! Wayne Pharmaceuticals involved! BM and Zatanna (Z) 'seeing' each other! John Constantine (JC) not happy with BM and Z relationship! Only one problem: BM seems to have some doubts about the existence of werewolves - please reference BM #255 - what a cover by Neil Adams!

Batman fights a werewolf in this Black Label Elsewords-type story where Batman doesn't believe in magical beings like werewolves but has the hots for Zatanna Zatara and hangs with a more vampiric Kirk Langstrom.
And despite having conquered Bane and Killer Croc -- as he brags in the story -- he has real problems handling the angry furball tearing through Gotham.
The story is thin and at times silly. The art is fine when it centers on monsters, but Stevan Subic has trouble holding back on the ink when just depicting regular people talking. Even a kind nun comes off looking like a Bond villain or serial killer plotting mass murder.
Back in the old days, this would be an inventory story an editor held aside to drop into a Batman anthology title when someone else missed a deadline. It feels underwhelming for a stand-alone story getting the hardcover treatment.

This is an okay Batman book. I did like parts of the story but not the artwork (though the glow-in-the-dark cover is cool).
A werewolf has come to Gotham. Apparently, even Batman is not immune to what happens when a werewolf bites someone. However, he has Zatanna, and the obnoxious John Constantine as resources even though he does not believe in magic. What will win magic, science or the beast?
I was expecting a bit more from this book, I did not particularly like how the characters are drawn and the fights in the dark seemed a bit tame for a black-label book. Also, it is only four issues long making it a bit too rushed. The book finishes with a variant cover gallery and a couple of sketch pages.

When I saw that it was going to be a 4-parter I knew immediately that it would at least be one too many. Bingo!
This trend for decompressed stories that extend their plot without any particular justification is a total pain . The basic plot wasn't exciting to start with - Batman vs Werevolf, yawn - so it simply gets downright boring.
Barnes dwells on uninteresting secondary characters for too long, overextends whole scenes and just writes 2/3 captions on pages that Subic struggles to fill. It's a shame because Barnes actually writes pretty well but gets lost along the way - there was enough here to make a good title with the same ideas but more compact.
Subic greatly disappointed me with this title. There are a few flashes of brilliance - notably the werewolves, which are particularly well done - but most of the work seems to be done on auto-pilot and the result is cold and rather ugly.

I like the idea, Batman against creatures of the night be they vampires such as The Monk or Werewolves like Batman #255 makes sense and works.
This used the rules of the original Wolfman with nods and callbacks. The werewolf were cool, the inclusion of Man Bat, Zatanna, and Constantine make sense. There are parts I enjoy but mostly I feel it doesn't quite work.
One big issue I have always had with stories including Batman or The Punisher when they don't believe in the supernatural or magic when they know Dr. Strange, Dr. Fate, Blade, Deadman etc. it is silly.
Still a nice if underwhelming story.

Moody and atmospheric- Gotham is a perfect setting for a werewolf story (I liked the Romanian ending too). A really nice nighttime read that was darker and more violent than most Batman stories without feeling like too much. This would be a fun Halloween read.
One thing I want to mention is the poetic writing of Barnes, horror stories allow the author to really romanticize the pain of suffering and this story does that and more. You feel horrible for Christian but you also understand that this disease has changed him into something monstrous only because of his choices. When Christian finally accepts that he’s a monster and they have the final battle in the Romanian forest, some of that inner monologue is exceptional.
This would make a sick animated short!

In case it wasn't clear from the cover, in this one, Batman battles a werewolf. Oh sure, there's quite a bit (probably too much) discussion of science vs. magic, but you know what you're getting here.
Honestly, that makes Full Moon a tad dull (). I appreciated Zatanna and John Constantine's entrance into the plot if only because they offered some new and different dialogue. Especially John, who never misses a chance to make a dick comment.
Most of the plot revolves around figuring out the Why, but Rodney Barnes never really makes that very interesting, so each extra-length issue is basically build-up to another dark and gritty monster fight. Stevan Subic's artwork is well suited to these scenes - on the other hand, it is not suited to portraying normal humans, who all look like they're actively melting.

Wow, I don't think a single element of this "Black Label" story of Batman vs Lycanthropy worked for me.
The art was too murky (though I grudgingly admit it could have worked with a better story), the plot was pretty much a straight up rip off of the Universal horror movie and the humour, such as it was, mostly consisted of bawdy references to Zatanna's proficiency in bed (she is romantically involved with Bruce Wayne, who she knows is Batman, and her bitter ex, John Constantine, is hanging about and knows she's with Bruce but not about his double-life...needlessly convoluted.)
Batman and this vampiric version of Kirk Langstrom working together to face a werewolf could have been a fun jam but ultimately this one goes on the ever-growing pile of sub-par Dark Knight tales.

Probably the best Elsworlds Batman Story I've ever read. The artwork brought me back to peak 90's Vertigo--my favorite style. Plus, Constantine & Zatanna are always welcome in my book! This was far better than it needed to be in my opinion.
Side Note: The hardcover glows in the dark, which, out of nowhere increased my love for this title because I'm a simple little bitch-boi.

sort of anti climactic even though the main "bad guy" is a bezerk Werewolf rather than a Vampire.
Did enjoy the thought of Zatanna and Bruce hooking up...

So okay I went into this comic not as a Batman fan, but as a horror fan. I've never really read many DC comics so I admit this is out of my usual niche, but I do love horror comics in general. Hellboy is my bread and butter when it comes to comics, so anything vaguely fantasy or horror related, I usually end up comparing to that. I've read Mike Mignola's work on Batman so I do have a decent frame of reference for how these two franchises should cross. Also, I've been on a real werewolf kick lately after having seen an American Werewolf in London, so I have some thoughts on the subject.
TLDR; This comic was really lame, not necessarily disappointing because I really had zero expectations from DC Black Label of all things, but still. Not worth your time.
The long version is essentially this:
This comic really doesn't seem to justify its existence. By the end of the story, the characters are not fundamentally different in a way that is compelling or gratifying. I get that this is kind of supposed to be an alternate universe type of series, but shouldn't that give them more leverage to do something different?
The meat of the story is that a werewolf has escaped from Bruce Wayne's pharmaceutical testing lab, and is now wreaking havoc in Gotham. Batman apparently had no real knowledge of this whole shebang, even though it's his company, and now has to stop the wolf from killing people. Of course, the comic starts off with a more scientific approach of "monsters aren't real" and then eventually Batman is bitten by the wolf and has to find a cure. There is also some romantic drama between Batman, Constantine, and Zaharra (totally spelled that wrong). On top of all that, add a stereotypical depiction of Romania into the mix and that's the comic. They hunt the werewolf, conveniently a cure is invented out of nowhere in the last few pages, even though it was established as being completely impossible.
The werewolf character who bit Batman goes looking for a cure, and a mysterious fortune teller woman (Romani stereotype) says "lol. No cure"
Then 5 minutes later Batman's gf shows up and the woman says "actually. If you kill the werewolf who bit you, that's the cure". At this point, the guy who bit Batman is now completely "evil" and doesn't care about the cure anymore even though he just was looking for one five minutes ago.
All the ideas here are just so underdeveloped and bland. The comic wastes time on practically everything, achieves nothing, and is somehow 150 pages. The art was also not to my personal tastes, as the insane amount of shadows made it really hard to tell what was happening in some scenes. This is where I feel obligated to directly draw a comparison to Mike Mignola's work, as his delicately crafted panels of light and shadow are just unparalleled. Maybe that's unfair, but this Batman comic feels like a bad copy of what Mignola has mastered. Also, for Hellboy, Mignola also has written his own werewolf story, and it's much higher quality.
The Wolves of Saint August features Hellboy and Kate Corrigan who are investigating the disappearance of a priest in a small Eastern European town. In this story, our werewolves are a family who was cursed hundreds of years ago, now wreaking havoc on the town after the priest tried to build a church there. Hellboy has to defeat the werewolf and bring closure to the story by ending the cycle of violence. The story is also 4 issues long, but is only 48 pages. I'm biased here, but the Hellboy story, like the Batman one, can be read without any knowledge of the series and stands alone. It achieves so much more depth in a much shorter amount of time, and gives the reader something interesting to think about. A similar angle of science vs magic also exists to Full Moon's, with Kate, a professor of history, contrasting Hellboy, who is a professional paranormal investigator. Our main antagonist is a werewolf named Grier. His motivation is to take revenge on the world for his family's curse, but has lost himself completely to the beast and now only knows how to kill.
In Full Moon, they try to achieve this, but it falls flat. Our main Wolf is a former British military man, who we are TOLD many times is a good person, but internal monologue and lame exposition aside, we know nothing about him. The fortune teller woman tries to do a half-baked anti-military commentary, saying him killing people in war has come back in karma as the wolf's curse, but it has no substance and only is mentioned briefly.
The main difference in these stories is that Hellboy is not cursed to become a werewolf, while Batman (briefly) is. However, Hellboy is already monstrous in origin and appearance, so such a detail really would be unnecessary in my opinion. In the Batman comic, the synopsis says the aim was to try and explore anger as a theme with the death of Batman's parents and the rage of the wolf. Key word is try. The comic never goes above "wolves are angry. Batman is also angry." In the Hellboy series, a recurring theme is Hellboy's expression of his anger and guilt through his duty to kill monsters. His fight with Grier, the werewolf, is another expression of this. Yes, he is our hero and has to save the day, but a melancholy mood hangs over the whole comic, just like all of Mignola's work. Yes, our hero kills the wolf, but it is not a happy ending.
Overall, Batman should probably stick to what Batman is good at. Horror fantasy is maybe not the right fit here, certainly not with this author. If you want horror comics, you have much higher quality options.

This was a pleasant suprise.
I came in expecting a below par comic built more around a gimmick than anything substantial, but I was gladly proven wrong.
This was a really solid story, a well crafted narrative that used a short cast of characters and only one new and refreshing villian. It did well to balance itself between the werewolf/horror aspects and the batman side of things, a balance which resulted in a really satisfying blend.
Constantine was a tad annoying at times but also funny occasionally. Zatanna was a really good love interest/supporting character along with Kirk Langstromm/man bat. Batman/Bruce Wayne was perhaps underdeveloped here and a little too generic for any praise, it is probably one of the poorer aspects of the comic, but with only four issues and a brand new take on a batman villain/I suppose crossover, I suppose you can't accomplish everything.
The comic did well to not drag on too long, and I actually quite enjoyed the quicker pacing.
The ending was simple but satisfying, and I finished this comic feeling pleasantly suprised.
Shoutout to the art, it wasn't always my favourite but a handful of panels were beautiful, especially the ones including the church.
Speaking of the church, my final point will end with the church and the list of trio of side characters that came from it. They were actually really effective considering the short time they spent onscreen and were utilised excellently.

I've always liked Batman in supernatural stories, and this werewolf tale is definitely that type of story. Batman was presented out of character a few times, it got a little campy in places, and there was some playing with the werewolf lore, but that's nitpicking. Overall this was a solid supernatural Batman story.

This thing is nuts. I got into comics a decade ago for like a year or 2 and then stopped reading them for a long time. Just getting back into them now, and this book is a good reason why. The craziest stories are best told in comics.

It's been long since I had read a good Batman story (I am yet to start reading Absolute Batman) but I knew from the cover and the Black Label logo that I would dig this. The story isn't anything new - Batman vs Werewolf but the artwork is just gorgeous and more so when the tale is set in Elseworlds universe where Batman is joined by John Constantine and Zatanna. Oh and did I mention the artwork? It's every bit as good and it reminded me a lot of Richard Corben and Mike Mignola and somehow the theme also is fitting.

I didnt love the perpetually-horny-and-can’t-talk-about-anything-else version of John Constantine in this book; but otherwise this was a delightful Batman-universe monster mash, with beautiful artwork.

Werewolves! My battery died while filming but here are my thoughts on this book - https://youtu.be/BtWiwdFpoRE
January 3, 2026
Today I walked into a comic shop with one mission: to finally get my hands on Volume One of Absolute Batman. No luck—sold out again. But in a twist of fate, I stumbled across something unexpected and even more up my alley: Batman: Full Moon by Rodney Barnes, illustrated by Stevan Subic.
Batman and werewolves? Two of my favorite things mashed into one? I didn’t hesitate. A few hours later, I’ve read it cover to cover, and honestly, it’s just okay.
It’s clear this was crafted as a Halloween special, and the story reflects that: rushed, surface-level, and more about mood than depth. I appreciated the nod to Universal Monsters with the werewolf’s last name being Talbot, a nice touch. And visually, Subic’s artwork is stunning. The werewolf transformation scenes and the visceral action panels are the highlight here, giving the comic a gritty, atmospheric edge that makes it worth flipping through for the art alone.
But the writing left a lot to be desired. The inclusion of John Constantine felt totally unnecessary, and frankly, I found him off-putting. Maybe I just don’t know his character well enough, but the constant, creepy remarks about wanting to sleep with Zatanna made him feel more like comic relief than a useful addition to the plot. And speaking of Zatanna, I didn’t realize she and Batman had a romantic history in the current continuity, so that added to the weird dynamic. It all felt a bit forced.
The pros? Batman as a werewolf. The monster movie vibes. The glow-in-the-dark variant cover I scored. And honestly, the sheer novelty of it all. The cons? Thin story, awkward character interactions, and a premise that deserved more meat on its bones.
Still, it’s a fun addition to my collection, and now I desperately need a Funko Pop or figure of werewolf Batman. Cool concept, cool visuals, just wish the story had more bite.

Poucos conceitos em HQs me irritam tanto quanto “o Batman não acredita em magia”. Full moon tem os piores vícios de caracterização do batman cometidos por roteiristas ruins: um Batman arrogante, teimoso, cético demais (embora literalmente conheça um demônio), obcecado em resolver tudo sozinho e meio boy lixo. Pior que a caracterização do Batman é como o roteiro trata a zatanna e, o pior de todos, o Constantine: totalmente irritantes e obcecados por sexo (???!). A arte é um pouco confusão e a narrativa é, no máximo, medíocre. Se eu pudesse resumir essa história em uma frase seria “a ideia de um adolescente de quatorze anos sobre o que é uma HQ para adultos”.

For a dark DC black label title, Batman Full Moon was pretty damn good, imo. I was very entertained by it. The addition of Dr. Langstrom, Zatanna & John Constantine was a huge plus. I love when Batman gets mixed up in a creature feature. Gave me big bronze age Batman vibes. Atmospheric, surreal and evocative art from Stevan Subic. Don't wait for a full moon to read this.

It’s a solid book and I love the art. It felt like a throw back to 80s. Would love more from this team.

this story was pretty awesome but I cannot stand the way John Constantine was drawn they made him look too damn ugly 😂

2.5 rounded up to 3 stars.
Batman: Full Moon collects issues 1-4 of the DC Comics Black Label series written by Rodney Barnes with art by Stevan Subic.
When a monstrous beast tears through a WayneTech Pharmaceutical lab, Batman is on the investigation. Together with Zatanna, John Constantine, and Dr. Kurt Langstrom, the team is on the hunt for a deadly creature suffering from an ancient curse.
In a book featuring Batman vs a werewolf, this is incredibly boring. It seems to want to be a character driven piece but features too many characters to give any specific person enough depth and time. It results in a shallow horror story that is more substance than plot. Which brings up the art. Subic’s werewolf design is cool, but other than some splash pages, it fails to make anything pop off the page to grab the reader.
I expect more from DC Black Label titles, especially at this point where there should be so many creators with interesting and diverse stories to tell. This one is a skip for anyone who isn’t a die hard Batman fan.

Subic’s werewolf design is cool, but other than some splash pages, it fails to make anything pop off the page to grab the reader.
I expect more from DC Black Label titles, especially at this point where there should be so many creators with interesting and diverse stories to tell. This one is a skip for anyone who isn’t a die hard Batman fan.

Pretty disappointing.
The story was boring, conversations mainly consisting of Constantine and Bruce fighting over Zatanna (she’s dating Bruce atm and rebuffs Constantine multiple times, but that doesn’t stop him picking fights with Bruce), people calling Bruce out for being rich (fair, but doesn’t make sense in the context of the story), and cliché werewolf bloodlust.
The art left a lot to be desired. It seemed like the artist wanted to go with more unsettling and dark artwork similar to what you’d find in the Sandman comics, but the way each character’s face was barely recognizable made it hard to figure out what was going on and did not lend itself to crafting dynamic action sequences (kind of necessary when you have two werewolf’s fighting multiple times).
I expected the dark ending as this is a DC Black Label, but the ending felt quite anticlimactic and almost unfinished.
