We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
ICv2 is reporting that WGN America has ordered a pilot for the DC Comic’s Vertigo title Scalped. The series will be an adaptation of Jason Aaron and R.M. Guera’s comic book series. If this comes to pass I would expect something on the level of the Walking Dead production, because this is a great story told for a mature audience.
If you are a comic book collector like I am and you haven’t been down the cereal aisle in you local grocer you might want to go down it. General Mills is doing another DC Comics promotional and this time it is with the upcoming Batman v Superman movie. Their are four mini comic books that are randomly inserted in five different cereals. The cereal boxes to look for are: Cocoa Puffs; Trix; Lucky Charms; Golden Grahams; and Honey Nut Cheerios. I’ve gotten one issue so far, just three more to go.
ICv2 has posted some exciting news for DC television fans. Executive Producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg announced that the CW’s Flash will appear in CBS’ Supergirl. The Crossover episode will air March 28. This will bring the DC television universe a fifth tie-in show even though Supergirl is on CBS. It has already been stated that Constantine has been in Arrow even though that show was canceled the character has lived on. The other three (Flash, Arrow, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) being on the CW. Don’t know how they would tie in with Gotham unless they bring in a grown up Bruce/Batman and use the same villain actors with some aging makeup on them or have the Legends of Tomorrow team go to that timeline in Gotham. It would be really cool if they could get them all tied together.
Giving some more love to DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation. The Batman: Bad Blood animated feature is set to be released on February 2. Here’s the trailer that Warner Bros. Online’s YouTube channel is sharing with everyone:
Take a look at the latest from DC Comics. The new animated feature Justice League vs. Teen Titans. I have really enjoyed what DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation are doing with their animated features and this one looks to be good as well. Thanks to ICv2 to the heads up and IGN’s YouTube channel for the trailer:
Suicide Squad looks better than what I thought it would. Thanks to Warner Bros. YouTube channel for the trailer.
Six Flaggs already has ties with Warner Bros. and features DC Comics character and Looney Tunes charater rides in their theme parks across the United States with a variety of rides. Now Six Flaggs Discovery Kingdom, in Vallejo, California, has announced that it will be adding a Pacific Rim attraction to it’s theme park. Might be cool we’ll just have to wait and see. No specific dates have been announced before the attraction will be open just coming soon, but it is this year.
Catching up on Green Lantern recently and I didn’t realize that the Green Lantern Mythos celebrated their 75th Anniversary in November. DC Entertainment put together a timeline of the different variations of Green Lantern on their YouTube channel…kind of cool. Of course I am a Green Lantern fan.
Jimmy Kimmel gives his viewers the debut of a new Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer. If you didn’t see it last night he has provided it again on his YouTube channel to share with everyone so here it is:
The CW gives us a new trailer for the upcoming DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. This show looks to be as well made as Arrow and Flash so I’m definitely excited. Check out the trailer through TV on CBR’s YouTube channel:
