Who’s excited about going out to see Twilight this weekend?
Anyone?
What starts out as a boring commercial for Google, suddenly takes an interesting turn.
With all the exciting goings on in the Batman universe these days, it would seem like every issue would be a winner. While the Falcone Family and Black Mask’s gang vie for control of Gotham City, other players emerge to cause shenanigans and all manner of trouble.
If you’ve followed Major Spoilers for any length of time you know two things; 1) I’m a big Doc Savage fan, and 2) I’m a bigger Batman fan. With DC’s release of Batman/Doc Savage Special #1, one would think I’d be in seventh heaven, on a high no other fanboy could achieve. You can think whatever you want, that doesn’t necessarily make it so.
Are you ready for some Batman and Robin action? With the appearance of Prince The Flamingo, Grant Morrison is kicking the violence up to a whole new level. This week sees the conclusion to the Revenge of the Red Hood line, and DC claims there will be some heart-stopping action.
Take the jump for a sneak peek of the issue that arrives this week (November 11, 2009).
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?
