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 …
Arriving in stores today is Warner Home Video’s Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. If you need yet another reason to pick up the movie (you did listen to our podcast review, right), WHV sent us another clip from the direct to DVD feature.

Take the jump for more images (including a shot of Power Girl) from the flick.
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies arrives in stores this week, and Warner Home Video sent Major Spoilers one final sneak peek that features Batman taking on a bunch of cold villains, while Superman has his hands busy with Silver Banshee.
Or – “Parent Issues Abound…”
Bruce Wayne, driven by the loss of mother and father. Dick Grayson, driven by the urge to please “dead” surrogate father who raised him after the loss of mother and father. Damien Wayne, forced to accept a surrogate father figure due to the loss of biological father, all the while struggling with the mother and grandfather’s training. And if the man under the Red Hood is Jason Todd, he’s metaphorically given up his ties to an adoptive father and adopted the symbolism of his father’s sworn enemy, even though said enemy beat him to death with a crowbar.
I believe their Freudian slips are showing…
Too often, people get locked into one style of art and close their minds to all other interpretations of the human (or alien) form. The point of the art appreciation moments is to take a look at what everyone else is doing, and reflect upon the work. It might bring to mind good thoughts or bad, disgust or adoration – the bottom line is you’ve been exposed to that work and thus should gain a greater appreciation to all art in general.
Today’s Art Appreciation Moment of the Day comes from Adriana Ferguson, who’s been a great friend to the Major Spoilers site, and the Major Spoilers Podcast. When not co-hosting the Super Future Friends Podcast, and working her day job, she’s cranking out her own art. We just talked about Adriana’s “We Are Legion” sketchbook that arrived at the Major Spoilers HQ this week, so we thought it would be nice to take a look at some of her other work. In today’s installment, we find Bruce Wayne comforting Dick Grayson. It’s a nice quiet moment and Adriana’s art shines here.
While the debate rages among fans over who might be the best live-action actor to play Batman, there is no such controversy when it comes to the voice of The Dark Knight – Kevin Conroy stands unchallenged for that title.
As the voice behind the landmark series Batman: The Animated Series, Conroy set a standard that has cast a wide shadow over any other actor attempting to fill the role for nearly two decades. Conroy once again dons the animated cowl for the September 29 Warner Home Video release of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.
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.
Conroy’s acting career has covered a lengthy gamut of performances on stage and screen, including soap operas and television series like Dynasty and Tour of Duty. His first audition for an animated voiceover role was in 1991 when he arrived at Warner Bros. hoping to land some of the character roles on an upcoming series, and walked out as the title character of Batman: The Animated Series. As they say, the rest is a grand and glorious history for Batman fans across the nation.
So pleased with his return to the role is Conroy that he made his first appearance in six years at Comic-Con International this past summer to promote Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, and the crowd greeted their beloved Batman voice with multiple standing ovations. For those fans that couldn’t hear Conroy’s words in person, here’s the recap of a chat with the actor during that weekend …

Surprisingly enough, leading ladies Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn take a back seat in issue 3 of this new series. Don’t expect this book to pick up where issue 2 left off; we don’t discover what becomes of Harley who was kidnapped by Tommy Elliot (posing as Bruce Wayne). The storyline will pick up again in issue 4 titled “Hush and Harley”.
It’s pretty obvious that we are big fans of Dustin Nguyen’s artwork, and we’ve even featured his Lil’Batman sketches on the site before. DC Entertainment must also like the look as as they are allowing Dustin and writer Derek Fridolfs team for a two two-page shorts spotlighting Lil’Gotham in the Detective Comics and Batman Annuals.
Take the jump for the full image and more information!
Haven’t featured Dustin Nguyen’s work on the site in a while, so why not feature the cover to Batman: Streets of Gotham #7? It’s a perfect time to showcase his latest work.
In this issue: DC used to make bad Batman and Superman films? Let’s hope DC Entertainment does a better job of helping us part with our money, Poe #3, The Incredible Amadeus Cho, and Dark Avengers: Uncanny X-Men: Exodus: The Colon Saga: Final?: Plus Batman goes wacky-in-the-wickey-woo. Yes more Bat-S-Crazy than normal.
Show Notes after the Jump!
Batman: Streets of Gotham #4 hits stores tomorrow, and it features Zsasz doing the things that aren’t pretty. DC Entertainment released a sneak peak of the issue, that you can see after the jump.
