Spidey and Star Wars on TV plus Supes on Console
Similar to Cartoon Network’s upcoming DC Nation block of programming is Marvel’s version, led by the long in the works Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. It launches on April Fool’s Day (yes, true) and is called Marvel Universe. It will feature not only Spidey, but also the return of The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes cartoon and some [...]
Win Batman From Arkham City
Thanks to the excellent Good Game TV series on Australia’s ABC you can win this intimidating life-size Batman statue from the best selling Arkham City game. You have to create an original 1 to 4 page comic starring Batman and one of the Good Game crew, perhaps as a baddie, a civilian needing rescuing or [...]
Arkham City Gets Better
I’ve only played a few minutes of Batman: Arkham City and in short, it’s awesome. It’s about to get awesomer though on November 1 when the Nightwing (the grown up original Robin) DLC gets released. His inclusion has been teased for a while, but this is the first in-game video to be shown. XworkZ Studios [...]
New Modern Warfare 3 Trailer
This new single player trailer for Modern Warfare 3 makes me want it even more. It’s released on November 8.
Batman’s Arkham City Skins
I still haven’t finished the first game to do Batman justice, Arkham Asylum and probably never will, but the sequel, Arkham City looks very tempting. It’s out on October 19 and also features Two-Face, Catwoman, Penguin and a few others, and even Robin, in a costume that looks like Tim Drake’s early version. Nice. I [...]
Bats and Spidey Trailers
Movie studios are learning that if you can’t beat them, join them. Just one day after The Amazing Spider-Man trailer leaked online, Columbia have released the official version. The film stars Anderw Garfield (The Social Network) as Peter Parker and opens in July 2012. Time will tell if it’s too early for a reboot, but [...]
Batman: Arkham City Footage
Batman: Arkham Asylum was the videogame that Batman deserved, and come October 18, we’ll get the sequel, with Catwoman, and Robin as playable characters (the latter only as a Best Buy DLC though). Baddies such as Two-Face, Riddler, Hugo Strange and Harley Quinn show up and Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill reprise their roles from [...]

Batman: Arkham City Trailer
Last year’s first teaser for this highly anticipated sequel dropped a few hints, such as Joker’s sickness and the fact that the Arkham inmates are now running the asylum, or rather, Gotham City. This new trailer shows the first gameplay footage of the world that looks even bigger than the first one, and reveals Hugo [...]
Comics Games Galore
It’s a good week for comics inspired games, with the release of Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. I’ve never been a huge fighting game fan, but the roster of characters is impressive, as are the special moves. Deadpool, for example, uses his own health bar as a weapon in his typical, fourth [...]
DC’s Stars of the Screen
Bleeding Cool managed to get a draft of the back-on-again live action Wonder Woman TV show by David E. Kelley, creator of Ally McBeal. The more I read of it, the queasier I got. Please let this be a really early April Fool’s joke. See their major spoiler free analysis here and a snippet below. [...]
