Batman: Under The Red Hood is the latest DC comic adaptation going direct to DVD. This will be based directly on the Batman: Under the Hood story by Judd Winick.
As with previous DC animated movies, they’ve sidestepped the voice cast of the 90s animated series in favor of some outside talent. Bruce Greenwood is Batman with Neil Patrick Harris as Nightwing and Jensen Ackles as Robin. Villains include John DiMaggio as The Joker, Jason Isaacs as Ra’s al Ghul, and Wade Williams as Black Mask.
The trailer seems to play up this animated as being as close to the last live action Batman movie as possible. It comes out on July 27, so we’ve got about 2 months to go. Its available for pre-order now.
Yep, thats about it. Warner Bros has announced the third installment in the Batman series directed by Christopher Nolan will release July 20, 2012.
2012 may be over 2 years away, but thats already shaping up to be a busy summer: Star Trek 2, The Avengers, and Spider-Man are all releasing.
And thats about it. No news on casts, villain, story, shooting. Nolan has rejected out the idea of doing 3D, but is currently looking to do the entire film in IMAX.
This is your monthly reminder, collectors! On sale today is MOTUC Moss Man. Both versions of Moss Man will be on sale, but I think the version with the flocked ears will be limited in quantity since those were from before the running change to remove the flock from the ears as fans demanded. Reissue Stratos will also be available for sale. MOTUC collectors finally get a fairly light month with just that figure and reissue.
Also on sale will be DCUC Wave 12 as a set. This is the wave with Darksied as the Collect ‘n Connect figure. The Dark Knight Movie Masters Scarecrow is also up for purchase.

What comes to mind when you think of the DC Animated Universe? Batman? Superman? Justice League? Well that’s just the boring junk that’s based on a comic! The real deal is the spinoff of a spinoff that is “The Zeta Project”! A love story about a robot who befriends a teenage girl with a rebellious spirit who, with access to unlimited cash, runs across the country escaping the feds.
The Zeta Project is a spinoff of Batman Beyond, and because of this the first appearance of the main character of Zeta was in a Batman Beyond episode named simply “Zeta”. In this episode, Terry ends up in the middle of a manhunt between Government agents and an artificial intelligence robot named Zeta. Batman quickly discovers the robot’s motivations to be pure. Zeta’s assignment was to kill an innocent man, and this caused him to rebel against his programming which he considered wrong. To the Government, a robot which no longer follows it’s orders is assumed to be compromised, and from this misunderstanding comes our main plot.

The aughts are over with 2009. Did we make the best of it? Did our predictions for the year turn out the way we hoped back in our inaugural Powetcast? Regardless, what were the best and worst entertainment items of the year? Find out in this special two-part season finale of the Powetcast!
Debuted at the Spike Video Game Awards last night, we get our first glimpse at the sequel to one of the greatest games of 2009. Amongst the beautifully decrepit scenery we were shown from the first game, it also looks like Mark Hamil is reprising his role as the Joker. (I’d know that laugh anywhere)
DC Universe classics is a hard enough line to collect without having so many store exclusives! I delve into some of whats available now at a few retailers, but if you can’t find the figures featured in this review at your local big box, theres always the amazon links below. Happy Hunting!
Batman doesn’t have many friends. I mean, he’s in the Justice League and he teams up with a new costumed bozo every week on Cartoon Network, but that doesn’t mean any of these guys are close.
So Batman sometimes has to be the snot out of allies. This happens in official books and toons a lot, but when you open it up to the world of fan films, edits, and satire, you’ll get some good stuff.
