Batman welcomes some new heroes to Gotham and more in this week's top comics

Marvel and DC both had a fun week in comic book adaptation news.

Spider-Man Homecoming has added three new actors to its consistently growing cast as Martin Starr, Logan Marshall-Greene and Donald Glover join the film in undisclosed roles. Glover, best known for his work on Community and as the rapper Childish Gambino, actually campaigned to play Spider-Man in 2011's The Amazing Spider-Man as part of the #Donald4SpiderMan frenzy.

In a roundabout way, that actually led to the creation of popular Marvel character Miles Morales, who creator Brian Michael Bendis says was directly inspired by both Glover and President Obama. Also this week: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has wrapped up filming.

On DC's side, Josh Segarra will be joining Arrow next season as Vigilante, and Supergirl, now at home on The CW, has cast its Superman as Tyler Hoechlin. Unfortunately, he's not Tom Welling.

No matter which side you're on, here are some must-reads for this week.

Batman #1

This week's Batman #1 issued in a new status quo for the caped crusader, as acclaimed writer Tom King (The Vision, Omega Men) takes creative control. But this issue is still very much the Batman we have come to know and love these past few years. Except, you know, he ejects from the Batmobile on to an airplane and attempts to steer it to safety.

Yeah, we see those secret agent influences, King. You're not fooling anybody. The real kicker in this issue comes at the end though, as we're introduced to new heroes Gotham and Gotham Girl, who look pretty funky, and we're sure to see more of them soon. Something tells us Batman isn't going to be too happy with some randoms stepping on his territory.

Green Arrow #1

Continuing what was probably the best of the Rebirth issues comes the first issue of the new Green Arrow series. Here, Olly and Black Canary go on a sort of series of team-up dates, getting to know each other and making all of us fans very, very happy. This issue sets them up for each other, but not without its problems, and this comes in the form of a very iffy twist at the end of the book.

Without spoiling anything, Green Arrow is going to have his work cut out for him, and Black Canary is more than aware that a personal relationship must play second fiddle to saving the common man. This series takes the best of each character's New 52 runs and blends them so neatly together, so be sure to give this one a read.

Civil War II #2

Though the actual concept behind Civil War II may not seem all that great, its execution isn't so bad. Writer Brian Michael Bendis feels in top form here, especially with his understanding of character, but some of it does feel out of place. The true saving grace of this crossover is Sara Pichelli's art. It's fantastic.

The story has Iron Man kidnapping Ulysses, the new future-seeking Inhuman, to run some tests on his brain. Obviously he's bummed about what happened to War Machine, but he can't let that cloud his judgment. So far, the event doesn't feel all that important. Here's hoping that changes soon.

Civil War II - X-Men #1

Now, the Civil War II tie-ins are a totally different story. This week's standout tie-in was X-Men, much like last week's The Amazing Spider-Man. Basically, the X-Men are still trying to fend off the Terrigen Mist in hopes of saving the mutant race, but the Inhumans are making it rather hard.

In this issue, Storm and her crew are warned about Magneto and his crew being in danger, courtesy of Ulysses. They show up, save Magneto and Co.'s butts and have a bit of a squabble. Magneto takes this new Inhuman's existence as another act of war, and Storm obviously doesn't. So in the face of Civil War, the X-Men are having it out on their own. Not too shabby for a tie-in, huh?
