First Trailer for Son of Batman

The next film in the DC Animated Universe coming out is Son of Batman. Based on the epic Grant Morrison story of introducing Damian Wayne, son of Batman and Talia Al Ghul into the universe. Well, to please the fans of everyone wanting to see a Animated version soon will get some snack food. A first trailer of it was released earlier today and looks really great.

Damian Wayne was a very controversial character to introduce not only because its Batman's Son, but because he was just such a little brat. I have, mentioned this multiple times here, that I have grown to really like Damian over the years and was slightly (really) upset they killed him off. I am excited to see more of him even if it's on film.

The storyline of the film will revolve around the famous 2006 story-arc that introduced us to the little brat we all came to love. 

Expect Son of Batman to come out on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital download late spring. You could see it sooner when it premiere at WonderCon over Easter weekend in Anaheim, California. (not like theres any other Anaheim.)

Full Trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins Online Now!!!

Warner Bros. Games Montreal has released the full trailer for their prequel game Batman: Arkham Origins today! The footage shown is obviously not in-game footage but a beautiful cinematic trailer. It looks stunning and I would pay theater money to go see a Batman movie that looks like this thing. The game is considered a prequel because it takes place before the first two Arkham games and is when Batman first came around.

Also, They announced that voice of Batman to all, Kevin Conroy, will be returning to voice Bruce Wayne/Batman. Also, Superherohype announced that Deathstroke will be a playable character *say whaaaa*. That will be awesome! 

Developed by  Warner Bros. Games Montreal, Batman: Arkham Origins features an expanded Gotham City and introduces an original prequel storyline occurring several years before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City. Taking place before the rise of Gotham City's most dangerous villains and assassins, the game showcases a young, raw, unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early career as a crime fighter that sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight. As the story unfolds, witness identities being formed and key relationships being forged.

Batman: Arkham Origins will be available on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii U on October 25th 

Here is the trailer we all will enjoy

Comics: DC Cancels 6 Titles and Adds 2 New

DC Comics is losing some steam with 6 titles ending in May. The titles include Deathstroke, The Savage Hawkman, Ravagers, Sword and Sorcery, Team 7 and Fury of the Firestorm. That is quite a lot of titles for one single month DC. Expect to see most of those characters maybe popup in other series by the sound of what editor-in-chief Bob Harras told Newsarama. 

Now that those were cancelled, we must have something popping up that month to fill the void. Well, they announced those too! These are a little bit out there and actually very political in todays world. The first series announced was The Movement and than The Green Team. 

The Movement is written by Gail Simone (Batgirl) and art by Freddie Williams III. The very talented Gail Simone said this about her new series: 

"The Movement is an idea I've had for some time. It's a book about power -- who owns it, who uses it, who suffers from its abuse. As we increasingly move to an age where information is currency, you get these situations where a single viral video can cost a previously unassailable corporation billions, or can upset the power balance of entire governments. And because the sources of that information are so dispersed and nameless, it's nearly impossible to shut it all down."

The Next series is quite the opposite of the 99% book by Gail. The Green Team is a 1% reboot of a long (almost) forgotten series from 1975, that will be co-written by Art Baltazar and Franco with Ig Guara doing art. A series about trillionaire teens that want to buy the gear to make a them superheroes. Awesome? I think it could be. Art said: 

"The real question is: Can money buy you anything in the DC universe? Would it make you powerful? Can it make you a hero? Can money make you…Super?"
