Have I told you how I hate the fact that DC canceled Legends of the Dark Knight? No? I’m sure Matthew wouldn’t mind me going on for a bit, but I’ll save that for another Major Spoilers Podcast where I can make Matthew jump about like an ape gone mad flinging poo at the floor and then rolling around it in. Instead, today’s Art Appreciation Moment of the Day showcases what might have been from Kelsey Shannon had DC allowed the series to continue.
DC Entertainment has released a sneak peek of this week’s Batman: The Widening Gyre installment from Kevin Smith.
DC Comics is teasing everyone with pages from this week’s Batman issue. Batman #692 features artwork by Tony Daniel, and if you want your own sneak peek, take the jump to see the preview pages DC released to the world.
The answer may surprise you…
Oh man! DC Comics released a preview of the upcoming Batman/Doc Savage Special #1 yesterday, both online and in the DC books. Written by Brian Azzerello with art by Phil Noto has me super excited about the issue when it arrives November 11!
Take the jump for a peek at the classic 1939 Batman, who does use guns to make his get-away.
We mentioned the Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit previously on the site, and the creators let us know that the cut off date to purchase the complete outfit is coming up on October 31, 2009.
“Batman fans recognize that nothing like this has ever been created and we’ve received orders from around the globe,” says David Pea, owner of Universal Designs, which is producing the screen-accurate Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit under license from Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC Comics.
UD Replicas licensed the Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit from Warner Bros. but have limited the number of outfits to 1,000. And at $1,000 for the complete suit, it’s probably worth it for a crazed fan.
I can’t wait to see what DC has in store for the first wave of heroes as they resurrect Doc Savage and crew and throw them in the world of 1939 Batman, the Spirit, Blackhawks and more, an it kicks off with the Batman/Doc Savage Special hitting in November. I’ll be really curious to see how much on-going interaction Doc and Batman have with one another, and I’m wondering if DC will touch on Doc’s institute where they perform lobotomies on criminals, and if there will be a confrontation between any of the heroes. I’ll also be curious to see if DC somehow manages to get The Shadow in on all the action as well. There could very well be some interesting stories featuring Batman and The Shadow teaming and seeing the real parallels between the two characters and how The Shadow influenced the Bat.
Anyone else excited to see Doc Savage return to comics, or all you all too young to remember who he is?
Cameron Stewart is set to finish his cover run on Grant Morrison’s Batman and Robin series with issue #7. DC posted a glimpse of the cover, and it’s interesting to see a glimpse of characters that played a key role in the Morrison Batman run make an appearance in the series.
Once again, Matthew and Stephen are back to weigh in on one of the titles released this week. As their Robot Overlord, I have proclaimed the rotund duo review Blackest Night: Batman #3. Will they agree or will they end up fighting to the death?
Arriving in stores today is Batman #691, that features Two-Face and Batman throwing down, and it seems like the buildup to a great fight, that is until Batman shows up. DC Comics released a sneak peek of the issue, that you can see after the jump.
Here’s another peek at this week’s Batman: The Brave and the Bold featuring OMAC and Equinox, which sounds an awful lot like LIbra.

This week sees the debut of a new episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold – one of the few really good animated shows my son will sit through. I’m interested to see his reaction to the One Man Army Corps when Buddy Blank and Brother Eye appear in this week’s episode. Here’s a sneak peek, featuring Hawk and Dove, doing what they do so well.
Universal Designs has announced it has acquired a licensing agreement with Warner Bros. to begin production of the Dark Knight Motorcycle suit. If you’ve ever wanted to impress the ladies while speeding down the highway on your souped up two wheeler, then you will want to check this suit out. Only 1,000 units are going to be made, so if you wanna be the cool guy in the next bike parade, you better place an order now. The whole set will only set you back $1,000.
I’ll let you make the “That codpiece looks a little small for me – Har-dee-har-har!” jokes.
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies hit stores yesterday, and it has received plenty of positive reviews. For most fans, Tim Daly patented the All-American trust within the voice of the title character for the landmark Superman: The Animated Series.
Beyond his 52 episodes and several movies as the voice of Superman, the Emmy nominated actor has had a prolific career on television as the star of numerous series, most recently continuing as Dr. Pete Wilder on ABC’s Private Practice and most notably for eight seasons as Joe Hackett on NBC’s Wings. The New York City native, who made his feature film debut in Barry Levinson’s 1982 classic Diner, has also had plum guest starring roles on The Sopranos and From The Earth To The Moon.
In Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, United States President Lex Luthor uses the oncoming trajectory of a Kryptonite asteroid to frame Superman and declare a $1 billion bounty on the heads of the Man of Steel and his “partner in crime,” Batman. Heroes and villains alike launch a relentless pursuit of Superman and Batman, who must unite – and recruit help – to stave off the action-packed onslaught, stop the asteroid, and uncover Luthor’s devious plot to take command of far more than North America.
Daly found time away from the Private Practice set to answer a heroic number of questions regarding his longstanding connection with the Man of Steel. Read on …
