First published in 2012 ‘Batman: Earth One’ is written by Geoff Johns with pencils by Gary Frank, inks by Jonathan Sibal, colour by Brad Anderson and letters by Rob Leigh. You can pick up your copy @ Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com now. I have to admit I’d seen this book around but hadn’t read it until Geoff Johns previewed some of the artwork and discussed the upcoming volume 2 which as as yet does not have a publication date.

As we’ve put together video playlists for ‘Gotham’ and ‘Assault on Arkham’ we thought in the run up to the UK release of the new ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ movie in October – yes we’re two months behind the US – that we’d start collecting videos for that too! Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL22h2b5wZwUvEpdu93W2APLI28P-0N4Il
Premiering on September 22nd on Fox ‘Gotham’ is one of the most talked about and most buzzed pilots of the 2014/15 season. The show had a big presence at SDCC this year with the city skyline forming the backdrop to a 130 foot long (and 30 foot high!) zip line between the convention centre and the Hilton hotel as well as freebies given away at the DC stand and a screening of the pilot as part of the Warner TV panel on the Saturday night with appearances from the cast at all of the above. Of the big three pilots…
Directed by James Gunn Written by James Gunn & Nicole Perlman Starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel You might think it’s been a busy year for Marvel with ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’, ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’, ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ and now ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ gracing our cinema screens but only two of those are direct Marvel Studio’s releases. ‘Guardians’ is one of them… can you guess the other? Whilst Joss Whedon and his crew are hard at work on ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ here on Earth we’re taken on a massive…

Let’s start out with a big spoiler for anybody who hasn’t read any kind of Batman comic in the last year… Damian Wayne died and he took the ‘Batman Incorporated’ title with him in one final battle to the death with the Leviathan and his own mother. Bruce wallowed in self pity for a long time, teaming with a different partner every month in ‘Batman & …..’ titles until Nightwing finally brought him to him senses only for Grandad Ra’s Al Ghul to come along and steal the bodies of both mother and son and that brings us up-to-date with…
‘Batman: Assault on Arkham’ is the latest in a long line of DCUAOM (DC Universe Animated Original Movies) released direct-to-video; it all started out almost seven years ago with ‘Superman: Doomsday’. UK fans you might be saying something along the lines of ‘What, there are lots of these movies?!’ and our answer is yes there are but sadly many of them don’t get to see the light of day over here but thankfully many of the releases are region free and simple to import from the US. ‘Assault on Arkham’ does seem to be seeing a release for the UK on…
Those of us lucky enough to make it in to room 6BCF at SDCC this past weekend were treated to a screening of a pilot episode of new NBC series ‘Constantine’ based on the comics of the same name and also the ‘Hellblazer’ and perhaps even ‘Justice League: Dark’ titles. We know a lot of you are probably thinking ‘I’ve seen this already, it leaked ages ago!’ but the version screened at Comic Con was a newly updated version with new special effects and a reshot ending to help smooth over the exit of Lucy Griffiths.
