Gotham High

What do you get if you mash up Batman, Twilight and Glee (minus the singing) in animated form? Gotham High. This 2009 animated series never saw the light of day, but these concept images have been made available to us. Had this show aired, I'm certain it would've set back Batman twenty years, destroying everything Batman has accomplished to date.

Wow, this is Kick-Ass for real!

I really don't know what to say... other than... EXTREME!

Spider-Man Reboot

Hey, what's the Facebook guy and that Zombieland girl doing? Oh yeah, they're starring as Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy in the new Spider-Man reboot. You know, the original franchise that Sam Raimi decided to set back thirty years after building two credible Spider-Man films because Joe Quesada shoved Venom down his throat. Bottom line, I'm sure this film will have less fail than it's Broadway counterpart and won't make me want to rip my eyes out the way I wanted to watching Spider-Man 3.

Batman Beyond Going Digital

Batman Beyond lasted three short seasons from 1999 to 2002. It spawned one movie, a variety of cameos and it's own comic book title, being put to rest shortly after the television series ended. Strangely, the show ended simply because it wasn't commissioned for more seasons, not because of a lack of popularity or ratings. Well, Terry McGinnis is back, not only with a brand new comic book series, but with a digital makeover. If there's any comic book title more fitting to be transformed in our new new highway of information consumption, it only seems appropriate that Terry McGinnis lead the way with its cyberpunk futuristic tone. I've been dabbling with DC Comics' ComiXology app on my iPhone, and I must say I really like it. It's a great way to take comics to-go without the hassle of piling stacks-and-stacks of long boxes. Although for me, it's too late for that. What do I think about the future of traditional comic books, the brick and morters and the oh-so-lovable comic book guys of the world? I'm sure they'll continue to endure. If die hard comic book fans can't get over Ryan Reynold's CGI Green Lantern suit, I'm sure they're not clamoring Apple stores for iPhones and iPads.

Long Over Due – Happy 2011!

As I habitually type and or write 2010, still correcting myself, it’s hard to believe 2011 is already here! My blog posts as of late have been few and infrequent, but I think this year, I will try to post more often than my once-in-a-blue-moon blog posts. I have, however, been tweeting more. The “one-hundred and forty characters or less” per entry has simply been more manageable during my day-to-day, even though what I tweet about is ninety percent bullshit. There are a lot of things to look forward to this year, here’s to a kick-ass 2011!
