- Mattel is releasing new action figures based on the 60’s
Batman TV series, with one toy displaying the infamous “Batusi”. DC Comics
recently announced that a digital comic based on the on-going adventures of the
Dynamic Duo from the very same era will also be available come fall of this
year. The series will be written by Jeff Parker and illustrated by Jonathan
Case, with cover art by Mike Allred. So for all those fans sick of the dark,
depressing, soar-throated Batman of the modern age, you’re in luck. Come this
fall, you’ll be knee-deep in “Pows!” and “Zams!” with catchy one-liners to
boot. For the rundown on why this “blast from the past” Caped Crusader retro
should be graciously welcomed in today’s society, check out Brett White’s
analysis and retrospect of the news at Comic Book Resources.
- The “Requiem” continues in just about every Bat-related
comic series as just last month, series ranging from Detective Comics to
Catwoman experienced the tragic after effects of Damian Wayne’s untimely end.
But just when you thought it was all over, it appears that a second wave of
issues from the majority of Bat-related comics will continue the “Requiem”
tie-in. This begs the question as to how long this story arc will last. What
originally appeared to be a one-shot story for each series turns out to be a
multi-series crossover event, much like Death of the Family. Which adds yet
another question: could we see the eventual return of the newest Boy Wonder in
an upcoming issue?
Writer Grant Morrison, currently at the helm of Batman:
Incorporated, reports that he has no plans to bring Damian back anytime soon,
but is uncertain what future writers will do once his run on Batman is up, so
anything is possible. Batman: Incorporated #9, Batman #19, Batman and Robin
#19, and more are available this April, all with tie-ins to “Requiem”. Be sure
to check’em out.
- As trailer after trailer flies in for Injustice: Gods
Among Us, fans are treated to the latest teasers on upcoming new playable
characters and levels, as well as more information on the game’s plot. But it
turns out that Injustice is not the only upcoming DC game to look forward to.
Titled: “Infinite Crisis”, and based loosely on the comic book epic written by
Geoff Johns, this game looks to be very epic in it’s own right. Unfortunately
for all you console owners (myself included), the game will only be available
for PC (as if not being able to play DC Universe Online either wasn’t enough).
Still, for all those lucky enough to own a PC computer
instead of a Mac, or for those brave enough to stand using a keyboard to move
characters, the game looks promising and will feature a wide array of
characters and alternate costumes to choose from (three have already been
released for Batman). But for all us Xbox/Playstation users, Injustice is just
weeks away, and the weekly releases of prelude digital comics only spark our
anticipation. For more updates and trailers for Injustice: Gods Among Us visit IGN,
they got all the best trailers. And be sure to stay aware of further information
on “infinite Crisis” in the coming weeks.
