First Glimpse of Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts

We are definitely in Penguin-mode right now, especially with the amazing performance by Robin Lord Taylor on Gotham.  So, it's no surprise that we are seeing Batman's fishy villain in the newest animated release, Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts!  As per Warner Bros. press release:

Another storm is brewing in Gotham and it's not only raining

Cheetah, Killer Croc and Man-Bat – Batman must swing into 

action to investigate. These animalistic villains bring new and 

exciting challenges for the hero of Gotham, and Batman must 

find a way to bring these criminal creatures to a halt! But could 

the Animilitia be working for powerful businessman Oswald Cobblepot 

a.k.a. The Penguin? How does The Penguin's new invention of robotic 

Cyber Animals fit into the mix? In the end, it'll the combined forces 

of Batman, Flash, Green Arrow, Nightwing and Red Robin to

First Glimpse of Justice League: Throne of Atlantis

One of my favorite DC 52 books is Aquaman.  Frankly, Geoff Johns did an amazing job on a character that wasn't beloved.  I am so excited to see WB/DC Animation's take on this awesome story, with the announcement of Warner Bros. Animations new release, Justice League: Throne of Atlantis!  As per Warner Bros. press release:

In Justice League: Throne of Atlantis, Cyborg discovers an imminent threat 

in the depths of the oceans so powerful that it rallies together the newly 

formed Justice League. Meanwhile, wandering thousands of feet above the 

ocean floor is drifter Arthur Curry, a man with strange powers who may be

the last chance to bridge the ancient Atlantean world with our own. 

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the rest of the Justice League must 

band together as they face off against warmongering Orm, an army of sea 

creatures, otherworldly weapons and perilous odds. In this all-new epic 

adventure from the DC Universe, mankind's only hope of escaping from 

the darkness lies with the guiding light of a man – Aquaman! 

This sounds great!  The film will be released on January 27, 2015 on BluRay, DVD and Digital Download.  If you can't wait, watch the trailer below.

First Glimpse of Justice League vs. Bizarro League

You must know by now how much I LOVE the Lego games.  Any opportunity to ride around Gotham City in the Batmobile. And let's not forget about the previous Lego DC film projects.  Now we can enjoy that world even more with the announcement of Warner Bros. Animations new's release, LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League!  As per Warner Bros. press release:

Batman has joined the newly formed Justice League in order 

to keep tabs on Superman, a mistrust that is complicated by 

Superman's clumsy – but well-meaning – clone, Bizarro. 

Bizarro's creation of the Bizarro League has caused confusion 

amongst the world's greatest Super Heroes, but an even 

greater and mysterious threat may force the Justice League

and Bizarro League to band together to defeat evil. 

This sounds great!  The film will be released on February 10, 2015 on BluRay, DVD and Digital Download.  If you can't wait, watch the trailer below.

First Glimpse of Batman: Assault on Arkham

Who doesn't rave about the Batman: Arkham games?!  Now we can enjoy that world even more with the announcement of Warner Bros. Animations new's release, Batman: Assault on Arkham!  As per Warner Bros. press release:

Gotham is in great danger when the government assembles a 

group of villains — code named the Suicide Squad — and forces 

them to break into Arkham Asylum to retrieve top secret 

information stolen by the Riddler.  Things take a turn for the 

worse when one of the Squad members (Harley Quinn) frees the 

Joker, who is intent on blowing up Arkham Asylum and 

Gotham City.  Batman must use his super hero wits and strength

 to thwart the wicked plans of the Joker and the Suicide Squad. 

This sounds great!  The film will be released on August 12, 2014 on BluRay, DVD and Digital Download.  If you can't wait, watch the trailer below.

[IGH] at the Movies: Son of Batman

Out this week is DC Animation's Son Of Batman.  You can check out a clip and here is the official description:

Batman learns he has a son, Damian – and to further complicate matters, the mother is Talia al Ghul, daughter of one of his most dreaded enemies, Ra’s Al Ghul. When the odds quickly turn against Batman and Damian, Batman must become both father and mentor to the aggressive, agile new Robin. Together they form an uneasy alliance to try and thwart the criminal enterprise of Deathstroke and his army of ninja man-bats before there are international consequences.  

Check below the break to see a sorta spoilery review!

First Glimpse of Justice League: War

Now that we are fully entrenched in the DC New 52, it's about time the animated films caught up!  Warner Bros. announced JUSTICE LEAGUE: WAR, based on the Origin storyline that started out the new universe.  As per Warner Bros. press release:

When the powerful Darkseid and his massive, relentless forces 

invade Earth, a group of previously unaligned super heroes 

– misunderstood and, in some cases, hunted by the 

authorities – discover the only way to fend off the attack will

 be to work together as a cohesive unit. Batman, Superman, 

Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Shazam and, in 

his origin story, Cyborg combine their respective talents in an

 all-out battle to save the planet. Based on the 2012 graphic 

novel, “Justice League: Origin,” by Geoff Johns & Jim Lee, 

JUSTICE LEAGUE: WAR provides a glance into the world 

before the Justice League was created, and offers the initial 

animated incarnation of DC Entertainment’s “The New 52.”  

This sounds great!  The film will be released on February 4, 2013 on BluRay, DVD and Digital Download.  If you can't wait, watch the trailer below.

NYCC '11: Sunday wraps it up!

New York Comic Con is done and we are still standing....sorta. I know it's bad when random people tell you how exhausted you look. I may look tired but I feel great. This was a really fun con, with so many awesome panels, companies and people!

Here are our highlights from today:

- At the DC Meet the Publishers panel, I finally heard someone from DC confirm that the mystery woman hidden in the issues will have a storyline coming. It was so awesome to listen to Dan Didio and Jim Lee talk DC.

- Getsuyobi went to the Jim Henson panel, where he learned about 3 upcoming books that sound amazing.

- Wysefyre went to the Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark panel, with a surprise attendee Dan Slott.

- All of us attended a Marvel panel over the weekend and agree that Arune Singh is the best moderator ever. 

- Huge deals and freebies were on the floor today. Wysefyre got some amazing prints from Jon Hughes and Marc Wolfe, while I got a ton of free comics! I also got the best show exclusive......

  

It was a fantastic con and if you attended, I hope you had a blast.  I know I met so many new geeks that became fast friends.  If we talked, please leave a note on the blog and stay in touch! 

We will be bringing you recaps and overviews in the days to come, so stay tuned!

NYCC '11: Oh God, It's Saturday

Well, we survived the biggest day at the con. The crowds were insane and way too big but once again, I'm amazed with how much I got done. Here are some of our highlights from the biggest day at the con:

- Getsuyobi met the CEO of Zlango and got to test out their new messenging app featuring Walking Dead icons.

- I went to the DC The Edge/ Dark panel and saw so much upcoming art! iVampire looks so amazing and is definitely a must read.

- Wysefyre and Getsuyobi camped out in IGN for 6 hours and saw all of the major announcements, including The Walking Dead and Avengers panels. Apparently Mark Ruffalo surprised the crowd with an appearance and Tom Hiddleston & Clark Gregg even broke into song.

- While they camped out, I went on a huge walk through the floor. I spoke with Diamond Comics about their October FCBD and I have so much more to share with you!

- I spent over an hour hanging at the Dark Horse booth and spoke with Angel and Faith's Christos Gage and Rebekah Isaacs and Conan's Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan.  Dark Horse has been so great to us during the con!  

- I also swung by I Am A Stuffed Animal for a very special photo...

Finally, we all ended the night at Geek Girls Network's Geek-Out, with a bunch of very, very tired geeks.

We are definitely spending more time on the floor for the last day of con. Sunday is a great day for deals, since no vendor wants to lug too much stuff home. Make sure you go prepared to shop!!!

See you on the floor!!!

Sunday Links for September 18

Another week of fun and flights of fancy!  Here are the highlights...


They caught the sleazebag that stole part of a Superman collection from Mike Meyer.  Meyer has gotten his collection back but since this story has broken, his collection has doubled.  He plans on donating the items he has received in order to spread the wealth.  Mr. Meyer, we salute you!

Fox announced that they are developing a pilot for the DC character The Spectre.  I'm not feeling too hopeful, especially since they canceled their last comic property.

With all of the fall premieres starting up, I wrote a plea to TV executives everywhere to not cancel shows too quickly.  Hopefully someone heard me but I'm doubtful....
