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 

cats and dogs but evil Cyber Animals! When the city is plagued 

by a slew of bizarre crimes committed by an animal-inspired 

villain squad known as the Animilitia – comprised of Silverback, 

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 

combat these Animal Instincts.

This looks great!  The film will be released on May 12, 2015 on BluRay, DVD and Digital Download.  If you can't wait, watch the trailer below.

Some of my favs from this list are:

A New Superhero from Dark Horse

Are you burnt out on the same old superheroes from the same old comic companies?   Yeah, me too.  Well, here is a preview of the new hero from our friends at Dark Horse Comics!  Coming January 23rd from the brains of Dennis Hopeless and Mike Norton, get ready for The Answer!

From Dark Horse Comics:

Devin McKenzie is an insomniac librarian with a knack for solving puzzles. The Answer! is a masked crime fighter with a giant exclamation point on his face. Aside from a penchant for late nights, they share nothing in common . . . until both become embroiled in a deadly mystery surrounding a sinister motivational speaker!

Preview Conan #1 from Dark Horse Comics!

A long, long time ago in October, Dark Horse Comics announced Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan as the new team for the classic hero, Conan.  As you all may remember, I got the awesome chance to interview them after this announcement.  That is why I am so excited to check out the preview pages Dark Horse sent along!

These aren't quite what I imagined but I am hooked.  The story starts off so quickly, and leaves you wanting more!  On top of that, the art is visually stunning, especially that last panel.  I have no idea how I'm going to wait until February when it's released to find out what happens next!  Take a look for yourselves and let us know what you think!

Sunday Links for March 13

This past week was filled with sadness as the worst earthquake in their recorded history hit Japan, resulting in a Tsunami felt throughout the entire Pacific. For more information about how you can help, here's a great article by the Huffington Post. If you are still trying to locate someone, Google released a people finder tool to help. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected.

Free Comic Day is fast approaching, and I can say that I am excited. Not just for the free books but because I never know what I will find. Bleeding Cool has previews for all 33 fcbd books for this year.

Stan Lee is cracking up geeks everywhere this week by finally answering the age old question from Mallrats, "What is the Thing's dork made of?" The answer is what we all expected.

If you are a big Scott Pilgrim fan, you will be happy to learn that there are four unreleased songs from the movie. They are from Beck, who did all of the songs for Sex Bob-omb.

Over at Geek to Me, they have a guest editorial from Sean “Blazek” Emes, who makes a very good argument that competitive gaming should be considered a sport. Having suffered from Wii elbow, I can say that gaming can be very, very physically dangerous.

Next time someone tells you that comics are pointless, idiotic reading for kids, make sure to show them this. For Women's History Month, the Smithsonian has created videos and comics to teach kids and adults about some of science's most influential women.

Pssst... Did you know that we are having a Bonanza? A crazy Autograph Bonanza where we give stuff away? Wanna take part? ;)

And now, just because its funny, I give you Angry Batbirds. You can check out more of them here.
