Batman Ninja Deck-Building Game Arrives November 5

Batman Ninja Deck-Building Game Arrives November 5

, , , , , , 0

Cryptozoic makes, among other things, a deck-building game based around the DC universe. If you liked the pseudo-anime “Batman Ninja” movie from last year, good news — an expansion is on the way that pulls the world of that movie into the game. You are Batman….or Catwoman, Robin, Red Robin, Red Hood, or Nightwing….six heroes are playable. The mission you all must take on is to topple the five living castles where The Joker, The Penguin, Poison Ivy, Deathstroke, and Two-Face currently reside. It’s not over when you defeat them all…THEN they combine into one super-castle which will take all your resources and cooperation to defeat. Each Super-Villain has colors on its four sides matching the main card types: Hero, Villain, Super Power, and Equipment. During your turn, if there is a card matching one of those types in the Line-Up, you must take the card and place it next to the corresponding side of the Super-Villain. When you defeat a Super-Villain, instead of placing it in your deck, you

WOW! The CW confirmed a new special guest would be making an appearance on the Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover this December….and it’s a Bat-Doozy! Kevin Conroy will be appearing on-screen in the role of an elderly Bruce Wayne, which he personified in the iconic Batman: The Animated Series! Not only is this great news, it’s also the closest we’ve ever come to actually getting Batman to appear on one of these shows. In addition, they revealed the full schedule of Crisis — here’s when you can catch each part of the story as it unfolds over two months: Supergirl: Sunday, Dec. 8 at 8/7c (special time) Batwoman: Monday, Dec. 9 at 8 pm (special day) The Flash: Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 8 pm Arrow: Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 8 pm (special time) DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 9 pm (special episode) This wasn’t the only bit of news today; thanks to the Television Critics Association press conference, we know a LOT more about The CW’s 2019-2020

The Nolan Batman Trilogy Is Rescreening In IMAX

The Nolan Batman Trilogy Is Rescreening In IMAX

, , , , 0

As of this month, Bruce Wayne’s vigilante act is eighty years old. So to celebrate, WB is rereleasing the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy in a handful of IMAX theaters. Why just the Nolan trilogy? Likely because of two things: All earlier Batman films don’t have IMAX versions, and All films with Batman in them after the Nolan trilogy aren’t the kind of films people would pay to see again Of course the Nolan trilogy isn’t perfect either. Batman Begins is all origin and barely any superheroics, and The Dark Knight Rises is just a complete depressing slog that goes on far too long. But The Dark Knight….ah, there’s where the money is. Heath Ledger’s Joker will never not be amazing. The Bat-tour begins at Universal Cinema AMC in Hollywood, California, where Nolan himself will be in attendance for a moderated Q&A. That Q&A will be recorded and shown alongside the other screenings: AMC Lincoln Square in New York, AMC Metreon in San Francisco, Cinesphere Ontario Place in Toronto, and Indiana

Batman Vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Announced By WB

The following image I am about to share with you is not fanart. It’s not a painting I picked up from a Comic-Con booth. It’s not even a comic book panel, where such events are more commonplace. This is an actual thing that is actually happening in an actual animated movie. Just look at it. IT’S BEAU-U-U-TI-FUUUUULLLLLL…. *sobs* To understand why we thought something like Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles could never happen…..The Turtles are strictly a Viacom/Paramount property now, while Batman has been solidly married to Warner Bros. since the 1970s. In order for them to both appear in the same movie, two giant conglomerates would have to get along, and possibly even share profits. Guess the impossible has happened! And the voice cast sounds great too. Troy Baker will play both Batman and the Joker (which makes him the first actor to pull this off), Darren Criss will voice Raphael, Kyle Mooney is Michelangelo, Baron Vaughn is Donatello, Eric Bauza is Leonardo, Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) is Batgirl, Tom Kenny

SDCC 2018: Batman: The Animated Series Cast Talk 25th Anniversary Of Series

When people talk about some of the greatest animated series ever to exist, one of the ones that’s always at the top of the conversation is Batman: The Animated Series. While this technically wasn’t the first Batman cartoon, and certainly not the last, it was most definitely the best, and still remains a staple of how to blend visuals, voice acting, and epic stories all into a 23-episode story. The impact of this show led to the creation of spinoffs like Superman TAS as well as two Justice League cartoons. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the series, and at San Diego Comic-Con, the cast of the show reunited to talk about their thoughts and feelings of the show: “Every damn episode of this series was movie quality,” said Tara Strong, voice of Barbara Gordon/Batgirl and Harley Quinn. “You feel like you’re in the comic that you grew up loving … That’s why it holds up.” For THE voice of Batman, Kevin Conroy, it was more about the thrill of being

DC Comics Returning To Retail Stores — In “Giant” Form

DC Comics Returning To Retail Stores — In “Giant” Form

, , , , , 0

One of the biggest tactical errors the comic book industry ever made, in my opinion, was departing the supermarkets, drugstores and retail shelves in favor of specialty markets. At the time, that was where the money was — collectors paid far more than children, plus there wasn’t a Comics Code to hassle with and little to no censorship. The end result was that the comic industry became insular and inbred for most of the 90s and 2000s, a course they’re only now beginning to correct. The only problem is, it’s going to be difficult to convince all those retail stores to let comics back in after they ceded their space so many years ago. The movies are huge, the characters have never been more popular, but that may not be enough leverage to convince the people running the stores to take a chance on a print medium their fathers abandoned. Only Archie had the foresight (whether intentional or not) to hold onto their supermarket checkout space to this day. Last

Batwoman To Make Live-Action Debut In Next Arrowverse Crossover On CW

Batwoman To Make Live-Action Debut In Next Arrowverse Crossover On CW

For YEARS now, fans of the CW/DC Comics universe have been begging for a Batman character, or just plain Batman, to arrive in the universe. Yes, we’ve had villains like Firefly, Ra’s and Talia al Ghul, and other references to the Dark Knights of Gotham, but they’ve never made a full-on appearance. And that will remain…until this fall. For at the CW Upfronts, where people behind the shows at CW teased what would be coming, Stephen Amell himself took to the stage to announce that not only would Gotham City be seen this year…but Batwoman would be part of the next crossover event. That’s right, Batwoman, aka Kate Kane, cousin to Batman/Bruce Wayne and fearless defender of the city and the world. Kate has seen a MAJOR resurgence in the comics in recent years, even having her own solo series and being a key part of the DC Rebirth Detective Comics lineup. This will actually be Batwoman’s first appearance in live-action, which makes her involvement in the crossover even more

Batman The Animated Newsletter Archives BRIEF ANIMATED BATMAN HISTORY: The five-time emmy-winning Batman: The Animated Series (BTAS) debuted in September of 1992 with the episode “Cat and the Claw” Part One. It ran on weekdays (and even during prime-time on Sundays for a month or so). 65 episodes (and millions of dollars in merchandise) later, season two began in 1994; sadly, this season died out with only 15 additional episodes, for the show was not raking in as much money as it previously was, and deemed as being “too dark” by parents. Also, in September of 1994, most of the first season episodes were shelved, and the 15 new ones were aired…only on Saturdays. A year later, BTAS was re-introduced to the FOX weekday line-up. All the original episodes were brought back this time, as well as 5 new episodes (none of which were spectacular, but still good), leaving the episode count at 85 in September of 1995. Most thought the series ended right there without any closure, for the

10 Movies Not Covered On VH1’s I Love The 80s

10 Movies Not Covered On VH1’s I Love The 80s

, , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

Back in my RetroJunk days, many of my articles were list articles, and many of those lists pertained to the pop culture of the 1980s. As a lot of these articles were written in the 00s, they were part of the first wave of 80s nostalgia, probably best exemplified by VH1’s I Love The 80s trilogy. There were three installments, those being 2002’s original I Love The 80s, 2003’s I Love The 80s Strikes Back and 2005’s I Love The 80s 3-D. I was puzzled as to why they called it I Love The 80s when so many of the commentators were snarky and sarcastic about it, lacking the love of the title, but I watched all three installments anyway because of the topics covered. You can preface this article’s title with the words 10 Big Ones because these were big movies not covered on VH1’s I Love The 80s. Surprisingly, there were a lot of movies they never got around to, movies that spring readily to mind when you
