Injustice on the iOS
With Injustice: Gods Among Us just weeks away, the
excitement and anticipation of many fans are at its peak. Just a few days ago
the demo was released, giving us the opportunity to play as Batman, Wonderwoman
or Lex Luthor. After completing the first “Battle Mode” we were given an
extended sneak preview of the game, revealing some unseen footage and an
exclusive look at S.T.A.R Labs min-games.
If that wasn’t enough to spike your anticipation, an iOS
game for your iPhone and iPad was just released yesterday. The graphics look
good, the gaming controls are simple, but fun nonetheless, and there is an
overabundance of extras and collectables. The biggest surprise came when we
realized that by completing certain tasks or challenges in the iOS version,
you’ll be unlocking backgrounds, icons, portraits and new costumes for your
console version. And since this game is free in the Apple App Store, you almost
have no reason to get it. For more details and hints on this new mobile game,
check out IGN’s video analysis.
The First Female Robin Returns… Kind of
Batman and Robin #19 is slated for release next week and the
aftermath of Damian Wayne’s death isn’t the only thing causing up a stir in
this issue. The Dark Knight Returns’ Carrie Kelley will make her debut in the
New 52, as teased on the back cover of #19. Writer Peter Tomasi says in a
recent interview with the New York Post: “She’s a college kid who’s got spunk
and speaks her mind. This is not an alternate-earth Robin, this is simply a
girl named Carrie Kelley, who we learn knew Damian, which in turn weaves her
into the fabric of the DC Universe for the first time in 25 years.” At least
this news can put an end to all those rumors about either Tim Drake taking over
the position permanently. While Drake is filling in temporarily in the Batman
and Robin series, and while Damian’s possible resurrection should not be rued
out, it appears that Kelley may in fact be the Robin of the future.
Justice League Movie - Nolan and Bale = Uncertainty
Despite previous rumors, Christian Bale and Christopher
Nolan’s involvement in the planned Justice League movie is questionable. Their
involvement, as well as the actual production of the JL film itself, lies on
the success of this year’s Man of Steel, and the look of the JL script. Nolan
reported that he is hesitant to get on board with JL if it looks to jeopardize
the continuity of his Batman trilogy. And to that I say: there are ways to have
your Batman in the Justice League and still have it exist in the same universe,
just take the time to figure out how. Besides, these films are for the fans,
and getting Bale back in the cape is what every Bat-fan wants, even if it means
tiptoeing around minor continuity details. Whatever the case may be, only after
Man of Steel’s release will we be given ant actual facts concerning the Justice
League.
If you can't have Bale as your Batman, who is your 2nd choice?
ReplyDeleteI dont know if there is a second choice for me, or the majority of fans out there.
DeleteJoesph Gordon Levitt would make a great Nightwing, but not a great Batman, so its Bale or bust for me.
Not a bad question though, if Bale turns down the movie, a lot of people at DC and Warner Bros
will be asking the same thing.
