Welcome to the Batman work group of the Comics WikiProject! The Batman work group is a collaboration dedicated to building a comprehensive and detailed guide to articles about or related to Batman on Wikipedia.

• To standardize the film/television articles related to Batman in Wikipedia.
• To improve Wikipedia coverage of Batman by adding, expanding and improving related articles.
• To serve as a central point of discussion for issues related to Batman articles.

This work group aims to define a standard of consistency for articles about and/or related to Batman, and the characters, publications, fictional locales, storylines, and creators of these comics, and appearances of same in other media. (including categories and templates about Batman). It also aims to encourage and provide the structure for enhancing the writing of high quality articles. This project does include articles about actors, directors and filmmakers, but relies on WikiProject Biography as the proper scope.

To join the Batman work group, edit this section and add *((User|yourusername)) and any comments to the following list of members in alphabetical order by username. Please add your username to Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Participants also.

• ((Comicsproj
  
• |class=stub
  
• |importance=low
  
• |Batman-work-group=yes))

• The WikiProject Comics project banner template allows certain tags which will categorise articles as in need of cleanup:

• ((comicsproj|infobox=yes)) will tag the article as requiring an infobox.
• ((comicsproj|image=yes)) will tag the article as requiring an image.
• ((comicsproj|attention=yes)) will tag the article as requiring attention. Reasons for the attention include:

• Articles needing wikifying
• Articles in need of expert attention
• Articles whose content or neutrality is disputed
• Articles that lack references

Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding |Batman-work-group=yes to the ((Comicsproj)) project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Batman work group articles.

• The Category:Batman and all subcategories.

• Tag articles.
• Upload a suitable logo for the work group notification on talk pages, and the Batman Userbox
• Recruit interested editors.
• Collect categories, resource links, and templates.
• Expand the open task listing above.

Articles to be expanded or improved

• Get Bane (comics) to Good Article status.
• Improve Batman R.I.P.
• Create a page for A Lonely Place of Dying
• Add things here!

Good databases:

• Grand Comic-Book Database - good breadth and depth. Templates: ((gcdb)) and ((gcdb series))
• Comic Book DB - similar good coverage with a cleaner and more accessible front end. Template: ((comicbookdb))
• Big Comic Book DataBase - useful as a back-up but coverage isn't as wide but it may be deeper for some titles
• CBDB - another option but a bit less user-friendly

Useful for news, reviews and interviews:

• Newsarama - good for news updates and announcements as well as interviews
• Comic Book Resources - ditto
• Silver Bullet Comic Books (soon to change its name - possibly through confusion with Silver Bullet Comics - we've had problems with that see the deletion at Silver Bullet Comics)
• Broken Frontier - can be another useful source for reviews
