1939
April 30th, the World's Fair opens in New York.
July 12th, the Baseball Hall of Fame is established.
September 1st, Hitler's army invades Poland, marking the start of World War II.
In May, Batman premieres in Detective Comics #27.
It's hard to believe that Batman has lived this long. Why is it people love Batman? Many fans will say it's because he's human and without superpowers, he's more realistic and relatable. But there are several reasons why the Dark Knight has risen to such fame. This site takes you through time, reflecting on the many comic books, movies, toys, and other media that have had the Batman name.

| Andy Kubert's Cover for Return of Bruce Wayne #2 |
Yep.  It's about that time.
What time you ask?
Why, time for another peak at a cover from Batman: Return of Bruce Wayne by Andy Kubert (notice the extra Batman pre-fix to the title).
And time is exactly what Bruce has on his hands. This time he's wound up in old Salem from the looks of it. And Pilgrim Bruce looks ready for action against... wait, is that the Pilgrim version of the Joker?? So cool.

| How about Two Comic Previews to Start Off the Weekend? |
Our  friends over at The Source blog know just how to kick off the Super Bowl weekend - with two exciting new previews!
First off we have Batman #696. We're one issue away from finding out the identity of the man behind the new Black Mask - but will Batman even make it there? Robin finds him washed up amidst the garbage and fish guts on the Gotham River shore. And what's this about working for the Penguin?!
Then over in Batgirl #7 (the funnest Bat-Book on the shelves now IMHO) Batgirl and Robin must put their contentious relationship aside if they're going to stop the tripple threat of Roxy Rocket, Dr. Phosphorus and Riot from winning Roulette's little game and finishing off the Batman for good!
Both books hit shelves next Wednesday. Click the respective links above for full five page previews! |

| Check it out, Tony Daniel's new cover art for Batman #698 |
Kicking  off his new arc "Riddle Me This" in April, Batman #698 starts us merrily skipping down the road towards the landmark 700th issue with the potential revelation that the Riddler might be regaining his memory of Batman's true identity.
But the issue's dilligent artist and writer Tony Daniel decided that the first solicted cover just didn't quite capture the issue's greateness. So he decided to scrap the original and produce an all new version which he just released on his blog. Let's all go and stare at it shall we?
Not a lot of major changes. The absence of the 'May 10th' calendar page is notable. And the Riddler now seems to be taking his Bat-beating more in stride. But other than that, one can only wonder at what awaits us.

| Young Justice Animated Series coming?? |
 Through various websites all over the net, a new series is being talked about. This was posted on Actress Stephanie Lemelin Website:
WOW. Ok... I am beyond thrilled to announce that I was recently cast in the new animated series, YOUNG JUSTICE LEAGUE, based on the famous (and awesome!?) DC Comics. I seriously could not be more excited about being welcomed into this amazing family... what a fantastic way to start the new year! I will be voicing the character of Arrowette (see ridiculously hot avatar below!!! um, could I love her anymore?) as well as several supporting cast members... Due to the extreme popularity of this series, however, that's about all I can say... for now. So excited, this is really a dream come true for me, I have ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A SATURDAY MORNING CARTOOON!!! Woohoo!
The post was deleted which more than likely means that she was not suppose to talk about it at all. We've also dug around and found out that Tequan Richmond read for the part of Aqualad.

| Warner Home Video offers new clip from "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths" |
 Below you will find links to an all-new, 1:10 clip from JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS, an all-new DC Universe Animated Original PG-13 Movie coming February 23, 2010 from Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation.
The scene basically sets up the film's primary conflict with Lex Luthor (voiced by Chris Noth) explaining the plight of his Earth, and attempting to recruit the Justice League to join the battle against the Crime Syndicate.
Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is an original story from award-winning animation/comics writer Dwayne McDuffie (Justice League) rooted in DC Comics’ popular canon of “Crisis” stories depicting parallel worlds with uniquely similar super heroes and villains. Bruce Timm (Superman Doomsday, Green Lantern) is executive producer. Lauren Montgomery (Wonder Woman, Green Lantern) and Sam Liu (Superman/Batman: Public Enemies) are co-directors.
The full-length animated film will be distributed by Warner Home Video as a Special Edition 2-disc version on DVD and Blu-Ray™ Hi-Def , as well as single disc DVD, On Demand and Download.

| Batman: XXX Trailer & Details Hit the Web |
 Although  Dark Knight-sequel news has sorta stalled up lately, we can however report that at least one Batman adaptation will be making its way to small screens sometime soon.
Produced by Vivid Video, Batman XXX: A Porn Parody is making a big splash across comic newssites this morning. The *ahem* film stars Nick "Droppin Loads" Manning (of Howard Stern fame) with appearances by Tori Black, Dave Navarro, Chris Slater, Nicole Ray, Randy Spears and Tori Black.
The only reason why this parody becomes news-worthy is because Bleeding Cool is reporting that producers have actually gone out and hired costume directors who worked on the old 60's television show on which the parody is based. And although the Bat Logo will be replaced with three large X's on the heroes chest, it's clear from watching the SFW trailer (which you can see by clicking 'READ MORE') that the homage does not stop there. Check out the old vintage Bat-mobile! And the use of the original Bat-Cave location!!
Though no one, as of yet, has been able to predict how long exactly Warner Bros. will allow this parody trailer to remain online as the trade-mark usage is pretty heavy (even for an alleged parody). So check it out while you still can - before WB's lawyers step in and ruin all the fun. ;-)
We will, of course, be bringing you as many updates on this situation as our family-friendly reputation will allow. ;-) Stay tuned. |

| Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths Q&A with Andrea Romano |
ANDREA ROMANO DISCUSSES CASTNG/DIRECTING THE VOICES BEHIND “JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS,” THE NEXT DC UNIVERSE ANIMATED ORIGINAL FILM COMING TO DVD FEBRUARY 23
The stars come out for Andrea Romano.
You need a voice echoing the All-American trust of Superman? Romano gets Mark Harmon for his maiden voyage in animation. You’re seeking a subtly evil performance as the intelligent-bordering-on-insane Owlman? James Woods is willing to do it from a little booth in Rhode Island.
Whatever the role, no matter the production, actors push aside their Oscars, Emmys and Tonys to step behind the microphone and “play” with Romano.
Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is the seventh entry in the ongoing series of DC Universe animated original PG-13 movies, and each has featured all-star casts with Romano at the reigns. From Neil Patrick Harris, Brooke Shields and Alfred Molina to Virginia Madsen, Nathan Fillion and Kyra Sedgwick (to name but a few), Romano’s casts are packed with the faces normally reserved for lead roles in feature films and primetime television series. |

| Batman Rises?!? |
It's  been exactly one year and 13 days since comic book fans around the world learned of Bruce Wayne's 'death' in Final Crisis #6. And in that time the entire Bat-Universe has been re-shaped into a radically different and thrilling new dynamic.
But we all know that in the DCU, death is anything but permanent. Heck, why not throw Bruce's body into one of Ra's al Ghul's Lazarus Pits??
Well, in Batman & Robin #7 (in stores today!) that's exactly what happens. And courtesy of The Source you can see the chilling final page in all its glory.
So, just who or what will be emerging from the Pit? Find out in a few weeks when issue eight his stands. In the mean time, feel free to speculate in the Batman Comics Forum!

| Dark Knight gets knocked down to 3rd place! |
| According to Box Office Mojo Avatar has surpassed The Dark Knight to become the second highest film domestically. Dark Knight topped out at $533,345,358. Avatar is at $552,797,000 and is still rising. The good thing? Maybe Titanic will finally sink. |

| Kevin Smith Gives the Low Down on Future Bat-Plans |
Talking  with fans on his Twitter page, Smith revealed that once his six part Widening Gyre wraps up (tentatively scheduled for sometime in April 2010), DC Comics will be publishing a separate mini focusing on his new character Baphomet. The series (unfortunately) will not be called 'Baphomet' but rather something along the lines of 'Babylon.'
Once that finishes, Smith will start up Gyre's second volume of six issues focusing on Batman and yet another new teammate.
Sounds pretty good, huh? Stay tuned for more info as it develops.

Having taken a month break last month, Grant Morrison is back in full force and if this cover is any indication we're in store for some pretty big bombshells come next Wednesday.
And hey, Bruce seems pretty happy about it, right? ;-)
