I really like this alot. I wish Warner Brothers would do a World’s Finest team up straight to DVD project with Batman and Superman with this style. I know I’ve seen this before and to be honest I may have even posted it before; but it’s awesome enough to deserve a re-post. Enjoy!
Two Megan Fox posts in a row? Really? Is that even allowed?
You betcha.
That’s how I roll.
Megan Fox wanted me to remind all of you how it’s important to wear a big floppy hat at the beach and she felt that this picture conveyed that sentiment well.
I hope we’ve all learned something today.

There are more there.
I’ve been waiting a long time for this one. When Warner Brothers Interactive announced it, I was skeptical as it looked like a goofy concept. Rival gangs of Batfans and Joker lovers wage war on the streets of Gotham well outside the shadow of the real bat dressed vigilante and the clown prince of chaos.
As they released screens and trailers I began to get more interested. By the time they were screening animated trailers, announcing beta test opportunities and knocking back the release date for polishing I was totally psyched.
Well kids; today I played it. Played it for an hour and ten minutes. I can tell you that for about $15.00 you can download what amounts to Halo 2 with a Batman skin. Not necessarily a bad thing; I would have been THRILLED with Halo 2 for $15. I would NOT however pay $15 to put a Batman skin on Halo 2. $8 bucks maybe in a moment of weakness. Maybe.
Don’t misunderstand me, It’s not bad at all – it’s just NOTHING NEW. It also has next to nothing to do with Batman or the Joker. Sure, you see them everywhere, the game is branded out the wazoo with clever imagery that threatens to beat you over the skullcap if you forget your playing a “Batman” game but although you base your character skins on them - they don’t matter at all. This could easily be “Watchmen Imposters” or “Harry Potter Imposters” or even “Seinfeld Imposters” with no changes but the costumes.
There is a demo available on the Playstation Network (not sure about X-Box LIVE) Do yourself a favor and try it before you buy it. I’m going to go play some Halo2.

Justice League: Doom finds Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Cyborg and Batman on their heels when a team of super villains discover and implement the Dark Knight’s “contingency plans” for stopping any rogue Justice League member. The story is inspired by Mark Waid’s much-heralded “JLA: Tower of Babel.”This is the final DC Universe film script written by the late Dwayne McDuffie.
So that’s the official word. We checked out the premiere at New York’s Paley Center for the Arts and here’s what you need to know:
Nathan Fillon as the Green Lantern is matched in performance only by Kevin Conroy as Batman. Excellent chemistry between the two and it works on a level that the new 52 launch of the JLA comic book tries for but never achieves.
There is a LOT to love here, but it moves a bit too fast and resolves too quickly. I admired the guts it must have taken for Warner Brothers to green light the dark twisted way in which Bane attempts to torture and destroy Bruce Wayne but outside of that, it feels like a three part episode of the JLA show. Luckily it was a great show, so you don’t mind.
It’s totally worth your time.
Justice League: Doom arrives February 28, 2012 from Warner Home Video as a Blu-Ray™ Combo Pack and DVD and for Download. Both the Blu-Ray™ Combo Pack and DVD will include an UltraViiolet™ Digital Copy, The film will be available via purchase On Demand beginning February 21, 2012.
Check out the trailer for the video game based on the upcoming Sony reboot THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN. It looks exactly like every other video game based on a Spiderman movie.
The game was written by Seamus Kevin Fahey who penned a few episodes of Spartacus – Gods of the Arena so if Spidey starts TEXT REMOVED TO KEEP SITE FAMILY FRIENDLY in the TEXT REMOVED TO KEEP SITE FAMILY FRIENDLY then we’ll know who to TEXT REMOVED TO KEEP SITE FAMILY FRIENDLY.
As long as it’s got plenty of free roaming action I’ll resist the urge to hate on it, but I sincerely hope we don’t have the stupid “Dragon’s Lair” cut scene action that ruined the Spiderman 3 game. Also – Let’s hope they keep the giant annoying boss fights to a minimum. I have zero interest in fighting a giant dragon over the 59th street bridge for 48 minutes.
The official website for Marvel’s THE AVENGERS is now live, updated and making me weep with anticipatory joy for the May 4th release date.
Check out the Bio of Loki :
After his bid to overthrow the throne of Asgard was thwarted by his brother Thor, the evil Loki retreated to lands unknown to plot his revenge. Not just against his brother, but against Earth, whose inhabitants Thor now protects. Loki now returns with a nefarious plot to conquer Earth and will stop at nothing to see his vision realized. When his misuse of power threatens the entire planet, it may take more than The Avengers to stop him.
Is it odd that this “bio – plot description” sort of suggests that The Avengers may need help? I mean, it’s the FIRST movie. If this was for the SEQUEL and maybe some more members were going to be added that would make sense, but in this case I should think the wording would be more along the lines of :
When his misuse of power threatens the entire planet, it will take more than ONE hero to stop him.
Not being a hater – probably over thinking it; just really can’t wait.
AVENGERS ASSEMBLE ! ! ! ! !
A little less than a year ago I was having a really hard time with some people on the internet that came down to a simple series of mis-communications. I thought I was doing one thing; they thought I was doing something else.
They were completely wrong, but I was not effective in correcting the communication so I’ll take the face shot for it. By the time I realized what was going on, some extreme nastiness had occurred and the well was poisoned.
I’m not too proud to say I got blindsided and really got my feelings hurt by the whole process. I was angry, jaded and ready to take my ball and go home. I had the good fortune to meet up with Neal Adams at a comic book show in Manhattan and as he had just re-launched his website we got onto the subject of our internet experiences.
He said something that was so true, it caught me off guard. It was perfect in it’s simplicity.
“You can’t let people on the internet bother you. The Internet is full of Assholes.”
Thank you Mr. Adams. You are without a doubt, the Yoda to my Luke.
Hey Reader ! Don’t be an Internet Asshole – Go to Mr. Adams website and buy his internet only sketchbook before it sells out – it’s very cool!
I mean I guess the Doctor could sort of be some kind of relation to Q but why saddle the Doctor with Trek history?
The Doctor can go anywhere in time – why tie him to the Star Trek time line? I know it’s only a comic book so it’s not going to be considered canon but I don’t get the motivation. What does IDW gain by crossing over these two properties into a . . .
Oh wait a minute.
I get it.
Money. They’ll make a lot of money.
Carry on.
For the network that brought you Mad Men, Breaking Bad and an excellent first season of the Walking Dead to now present this obvious disjointed copycat tv show is very strange.
It’s not that the cast of characters isn’t fun to spend time with; the format of the show just sorta falls flat.
What does this show want to be? One minute it ‘s Dinner for Five with Kevin Smith and his comic book store employees chatting about the events transpiring at Jay and Silent Bobs Secret Stash store in Redbank NJ, then it’s a watered down Jackass sorta vibe with the guys setting up tables in a Flea Market to see who can bank the most cash selling their overstock garbage, then finally it’s an episode of Pawn Stars with regular folks bringing in collectible pop culture items and trying to sell them to the “hardened geek professionals”.
Any ONE of these things I guess would be a perfectly watchable half hour of cable TV but put them all together and it’s an uneven jumbled mess that goes on too long and never finds it’s identity. It feels desperate and not remotely original in any category.
There is ONE reason I will watch again though; Bryan Johnson is ridiculously funny. Really funny. So funny that it he feels like maybe he got lost and ended up on the wrong show. There were at least 3 times I reached for the remote and stopped because of something he said. THIS GUY needs his OWN show.
I was really hoping for more from THIS one.
