Something Marvel has done particularly well in 2017 is promoting its line of books via dynamic multimedia content, in this case, through music videos. Not surprisingly, their latest offering aims to hype their currently ongoing crossover event series, Monsters Unleashed.
Over the past 25 years, many diehard fans have repeatedly said that the true voices of Batman and the Joker belong to Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, respectively. Having started off in Batman: The Animated Series, both men have gone on to reprise their roles in various forms of media, be they direct-to-video animated films such as Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker and Batman: The Killing Joke or one of the hit video games in the Arkham franchise. Their most recent reunion, however, comes in the form of the more light-hearted Justice League Action.
Not long ago, those of us who have been following the bigger mysteries surrounding DC’s Rebirth era were floored by the news that Batman and The Flash are set to crossover this April in a four-part story arc titled “The Button,” which will no doubt shed some light on how the Watchmen characters have been involved in the grand scheme of things.
Although DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’s current season is a bit more truncated than its other Arrowverse brethren – season 2 is slated to run for 17 episodes as opposed to, say, 23 – fans of the time traveling series will get to hold onto the show for an additional week before having to endure a hiatus that will likely last until October.
Although the Batman film franchise has brought joy to millions of people since 1943 (oh yes, we’re counting the serials starring Lewis Wilson), it has certainly had its ups and downs. After all, they can’t all be The Dark Knight Trilogy.
It's not often that Oliver Queen and his cohorts venture overseas, so it goes without saying that we should all tune in for tonight's episode of Arrow, "Bratva." And if you've been following the series to this point, you know from that title we're going to be seeing the titular hero's past exploits with the Russian mafia come home to roost.
Now that the second wave of DC's Rebirth initiative is underway, it's only fitting that a team-up book kick things off in the form of the new Justice League of America series. Written by rising star Steve Orlando and illustrated by the incomparable Ivan Reis, this title sells itself by collecting one of the most eclectic lineups to ever make up a super group: Batman, Lobo, Black Canary, Vixen, the Atom, the Ray and Killer Frost.
Without a doubt, Scott Snyder has made quite the name for himself over the course of the past seven years, arguably becoming one of the most lauded writers to touch the Dark Knight in history. With his highly acclaimed run with artist Greg Capullo now behind him, he’s been hard at work crafting his own Long Halloween of sorts in the form of All-Star Batman.
In addition to recently revealing some striking new covers for X-Men Gold, the House of Ideas is offering yet another glimpse into the future when it comes to that family of books, specifically Jean Grey. Although she was one of the first mutants to appear in the Marvel Universe, she has never had her own solo series, as hard as that may be to believe.
With the voice cast having been revealed several weeks ago and the Blu-ray release of Justice League Dark now behind us (be sure to check out our review), it comes as no surprise that Warner Home Video wasted little time in releasing a trailer for the next DC animated film, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract.
