YES, FINALLY! Warner Brother has released this MTV Exclusive Promo Movie Trailer for the next DC UNIVERSE Animated Film DVD, BATMAN: YEAR ONE. Take a look & let me know what YOU think. I like it & think it's gonna be cool! Well, I hope so, ha!
DC Direct just announced a brand-new BATMAN Statue that will be coming out later this year. It's a Maquette Figure based on the BATMAN: YEAR ONE character from the DC Universe Animated Original Movie DVD. Oh man, it's beautiful! I like the retro-style. It was sculpted by DEREK MILLER. This hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain Maquette-Statue of BATMAN will be released on September 27th, 2011. It will measure about 9.8" high x 7.75" wide x 5" deep. Also, it's a Limited Edition. The Retail price will be around $ 125.00. Remember, stay tuned to the Bat-Blog for all your Batman Collectibles News.
In this promo, finally, we get to see some of the ideas about the next DC Universe Animated Film, BATMAN: YEAR ONE. Of course it's an adaptation of Frank Miller & David Mazzucchelli's classic Graphic Novel. The Animation Team seems to really want to be true to the original source. In this sneak peek we get introduced to many of the Voice Actors, many are excellent choices. I just wish we could see more "cartoon clips" of the actual DVD product, but this is a teaser so I guess we'll have to wait.
Well, apparently this is what the DVD cover art for the BATMAN: YEAR ONE - DC Universe Animated Movie is going to look like. It's a great image that I think would make an awesome poster. The projected release date for this film is September 27th, 2011. But that could easily change so please be sure to stay tuned to the Bat-Blog for later info.
Here are some very neat photos of a great collection of BATMAN TOYS sent to us by a friend over at facebook. His name is Keith & the cool thing is that he lives in Ireland. It looks like he is pretty serious about collecting all the Batman Movies on DVD. He really likes Action Figures, & if you look closely, you can see a lot of those Eaglemoss Pewter Figures. He has some great books & a few misc toys. Oh yeah, there is also an Autographed BATMAN Movie Script, very cool! ( I can make out the signatures of Danny DeVito & Michael Keaton, not sure who the 3rd one is ). I also like how everything is displayed. Thanks Keith, for sharing this. I always enjoy seeing other people's collections so if there are any other Bat-Collectors out there then please share some pics with us.

Don't blink your eyes or you might miss this extremely short video clip, ha! It's a very rare TV Commercial announcing that the 1997 BATMAN AND ROBIN Movie will be on Video & DVD. Yes, VHS Tape!
Just a few days ago Warner Bros released their latest animated TV cartoon DVD, "Batman: The Brave And The Bold, Season One, Part Two". The special thing about this DVD is that it's a 2-Disc Set. The packaging is pretty cool & it contains 13 complete episodes. Now, there are not a lot of extras here but DISC ONE has a nice Movie Trailer for the next DC Universe Animated Film, "All-Star Superman". DISC TWO has a preview for the "Hot Wheels Battle Force 5" Animated TV Series. One last note would be that the shows are avaliable in three languages: English, Spanish, & Portuguese.
Now I gotta say that this is one GREAT series & a very nice DVD Set. I wish it was the Complete Season but it does have quite a bit of entertainment value. Plus, it's nice to watch the show without all the TV commercials, ha! Another thing I like is that it includes some of my most favorite episodes of Season One: "Trails of the Demon", because of the "Sherlock Holmes" angle. "The Color of Revenge", because of all the references to the Golden Age Comic Books & also the 1966 TV Show. "The Last Bat on Earth", because it showcased some Classic Jack Kirby-Inspired Characters & it brought back a lot of childhood memories for me. Actually the list could go on because every episode is fun! This set also includes the famous "Music Meister" episode, which was completely done as a Musical, a very strange ( but fun ) concept. I think that if you're a Fan of this TV Cartoon then you're gonna be pretty happy with this product. Now, just for fun, I have embedded some preview videos down below that are clips from a few episodes shown on this DVD, enjoy!

Mystery in Space ( The Question, Aquaman & Adam Strange )

Shown up above is the original box art. Then, down below is a BATMAN DVD Wallpaper you can use as a background on your PC. You know, to help remind you about this new volume. Plus, the artwork is really cool.

In this 2-Disc Collection, the Dark Knight allies with Aquaman, Plastic Man, Blue Beetle, Red Tornado, Green Arrow, Wildcat, Deadman, Bronze Tiger and Atom to take on an array of evildoers ranging from Mad Scientists to Intergalactic Crooks, from Power-Mad Dictators to Out-Of-Control Teenagers!

The new SUPERMAN / BATMAN: APOCALYPSE animated film by DC Universe / Warner Bros just came out & if you go to BEST BUY then you can get this EXCLUSIVE DC Direct Action Figure. The cool thing is that it is sold separately & you don't have to actually buy the DVD there to get the figure. Now, I was looking for a decent video review of this figure & found 2 of them. They're both pretty good so I decided to show them both because they each give you a slightly different view of the figure & I thought that might help people more. The retail price for this figure is $9.99, which isn't bad. I plan on getting one of these later. It looks really cool! So, what do YOU think about this figure? Please let us know if you like it or not, thanks.
Here's a brand-new promo video that just hit the web & it features the first 10 minutes of the new DC Universe Animated Film, SUPERMAN / BATMAN: APOCALYPSE. It mainly covers the basic origin of Supergirl landing on Earth & we also get a good look at Batman and Superman. Oh man, this movie looks really great so far, check it out!
On August 16th, 2010 Adam West ( Batman from the 1966 TV Series ) appeared on WSL-AM 890 radio for a telephone interview & it's pretty interesting, especially if you're a Batman Fan. He talks a little bit about doing the show back in the 60's, shares his thoughts on "The Dark Knight" movie, & he even describes his "ADAM WEST NAKED" DVD movie. You can listen to the recording at this LINK
It's time once again for "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday"! This is when the Bat-Blog posts a few Batman-Themed Desktop Backgrounds for you to enjoy ( hopefully ). This time around I thought I would do one featuring the character from BATMAN BEYOND because 1. I love that cartoon & 2. I also wanted to celebrate the fact that they're releasing the "Batman Beyond Complete" DVD Set! Then, as a surprise, our friend Sean Hartter sent us a brand-new Batman Wallpaper he created with some of his personal artwork. He did this homage to the Japanese Bat-Manga of the 1960's. As usual, his art is totally awesome! ( Thanks Sean ). One last thing, if you want more Caped Crusader backgrounds then be sure to search through the Bat-Blog Archives located at the left side of this page, near the middle.
Later this year Warner Bros. Pictures will present an examination of the creative forces behind the World's Greatest Super Heroes in "Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics", an all-new documentary that takes viewers behind the scenes of the iconic company with unprecedented access to the Warner Bros. and DC Comics archives. Narrated by Ryan Reynolds, the movie actor who will soon play the Green Lantern. But don't look for it real soon, the release date will be November 9th, 2010. It will be available on DVD ( box art shown up above ) & the retail price will be $24.98.
Learn about the amazing tales of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and a host of other well-known characters, plus the equally impressive story of the challenges, creativity and triumphs of the company that brought those characters to life. This new movie is both a celebration of the best writers and artists in comics and a thoughtful exploration of 75 years of DC Comics history.
Produced by the Academy Award ® -nominated team behind Spellbound (Feature Documentary), Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics combines excerpts from comics,films and television series with the insight of some of history's most influential comic book creators and editors, among them Neal Adams, Karen Berger, Mike Carlin, Dan DiDio, Neil Gaiman, Geoff Johns, Jim Lee, Paul Levitz, Dwayne McDuffie, Grant Morrison, Dennis O'Neil, Paul Pope, Louise Simonson, Mark Waid, Len Wein, and Marv Wolfman. Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics is written and directed by Mac Carter. Jeffrey Blitz (Spellbound, The Office) served as executive producer. Producer is Gregory Noveck and co-producer is Ivan Cohen. OK, now I'll shut-up so you can enjoy the video.
Here's a special "First Look" video featuring information on the next DC Universe Animated Film titled SUPERMAN/BATMAN: APOCALYPSE. It's main focus seems to be the Supergirl character but it's also great to see all the talent working on this feature. You have Kevin Conroy back as the voice of Batman. We get Tim Daly as Superman. Plus, something that's pretty cool, is Kara's voice ( Supergirl ) will be done by Summer Glau. I really loved her in Joss Whedon's TV series, FIREFLY so this will be pretty cool.
Warner Bros just released BATMAN: UNDER THE RED HOOD but their next DC Universe animated feature is already starting to get some hype, it's called SUPERMAN/BATMAN: APOCALYPSE. The animation looks pretty decent...check it out!
