NEW BATMAN DVD REVIEW - THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD Season Two, Part One ( 2-Disc Set )

I just got done watching the latest "BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD" TV Cartoon DVD. It's the new "SEASON TWO, PART ONE" 2-Disc Set. Oh man, it was a total blast to watch! I think "Season Two" was when this show was really hitting it's stride. Plus, this DVD took forever to watch, almost 4 hours! Which is a point I'd like to make: Considering that you get 273 minutes of entertainment for less than the price of a regular movie, then it's still a pretty good value. But, back to the greatness of this product, hee hee! It contains some of the best episodes so far. Here's a list, check it out:



Disc 1

• Death Race To Oblivion!
• Long Arm Of The Law!
• Revenge of the Reach!
• Aquaman's Outrageous Adventure!
• The Golden Age of Justice!
• Sidekicks Assemble!
  

Disc 2

• Clash of the Metal Men!
• A Bat Divided!
• The Super-Batman of Planet X!
• The Power of Shazam!
• Chill of The Night!
• Gorillas in Our Mist!

OK, see what I mean. There's some great stuff on this volume. Personally my 2 favorite episodes to watch again were "The Golden Age of Justice!" and "Chill of the Night!". I guess I should also mention that this DVD Set has 2 Languages: English & Spanish. It also has "French Subtitles".

CATWOMAN Bat-Pod and HARLEY QUINN Arkham City - Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!

For this week's "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" I thought I would celebrate 2 of the sexiest batman Villains out there, Catwoman & Harley Quinn! Also, the 1st one sort of celebrates "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" Movie because we all know that Selina Kyle ( Anne Hathaway's character ) is going to be stealing the Bat-Pod in one part of the film. Second, the Harley Quinn image is from the new BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game that comes out towards the end of 2011.

New BATMAN ARKHAM CITY T-Shirts at TFAW

While surfing through the TFAW website the other night, to see what brand-new Batman products there are out there, I came across these really cool BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY T-Shirts. Of course they feature graphics from the video game. Three of them focus on the logo or other generic graphic art, while the others all feature Bat-Villains like Harley Quinn & Two-Face. Now, there are no Joker shirts right now, but you know there will be, ha! For more information CLICK HERE!

These Custom Made BATMAN Toys ROCK!

Here's a quick post to share a few photos sent in by 2 Bat-Blog Fans named John & Mike. They're both very creative people & have made some really cool Custom BATMAN Toys!

John's story goes like this:
For awhile he's been into finding old broken action figures & improving them. He said he has always wanted to do a Custom "Comic Action Penguin" & he recently found a broken one he could work on. Now, for people who don't know, "Comic Action" Figures were made around 1976 by MEGO & they practically have a cult following. One thing about them, that gives them a lot of charm, is that they were kinda cheesy, ha! But John gave his figure some new legs & custom paint job. The result is pretty impressive.

Mike's story goes like this:
Mike is a Father of 2 kids who totally love Cartoon Network's BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD animated series. They love to play with the toys and action figures of the characters from the TV show. But the problem was, no matter how hard they looked, they could never find the "Robin" figure & really wanted one. So, their Dad made them the 2 shown here. The 1st photo shows how he made a Robin figure to go with the regular Batman Action Figure from the toy line by Mattel. The 2nd photo shows a custom "Robin" toy of an "Action League" mini-figure. So, 2 different toy lines are covered here. Plus, Mike did an amazing job on these & the kids totally love playing with them! Thanks to both Toy Custom Artists for sharing their work. We want to invite all other Bat-Blog Fans out there to do the same.

Video - Batmobile Replica Car From 1995 BATMAN FOREVER Movie

Now, while the BATMAN FOREVER Movie from 1995 has not been a favorite bat-film of mine I have always thought that the Batmobile from that movie was OK. This video shows a Replica Car somebody made and no matter what you think about the real car this replica is extremely well done. I especially like the interior work with all the gauges, buttons, & knobs. The outside is nice too, very well done!

Halo Reach Trailer will be in game engine...

"@DarkWaterClone our cinematics run real time in our game engine, they're not outsourced CG"
The Bungie tweet say's it all really, the Halo Reach trailer will use the in game resources of the game itself, just like the reveal for Halo 3 did.

Which means this dude was wrong about the trailer not being CG. I dunno what you might be calling the opening cinematic of Halo Reach rendered by in the in game engine, but I'd call it CG - i.e. computer generated. What else has he been wrong about?

How bad are you looking forward to the trailer!!!

The biggest game of next year by far*

This guy and I clearly have a difference of opinion over what CG means, regardless, he's in the know about what the Halo Reach trailer contains. Here's a snippet of what he said to Xbox Live's Major Nelson:

"At the VGAs, we actually go down on to the Planet Reach and see this game for the first time. It's all going to be in-game stuff. This is not CG. This is not live-action like all the kids on twitter are speculating. You will get a first glimpse at the world of Reach, which is phenomenal. I think it's going to be the biggest game of next year by far. Folks love ODST and though it was great but when people see the huge leap forward Bungie is taking with Reach, I don't know if you seen it yet, but everyone that I talked to that's been on the team and seen it is incredibly excited about that time."

So, he actually said nothing other than Reach is going to be awesome. Like, duh.

Bungie recently let a tweet out that the trailer is actually the opening cinematic of the game itself i.e. the in game engine and is therefore CG - computer generated or computer graphics!

I duno why I'm going on about this, probably there's no no real Reach news until next week!

*No shit, Sherlock

Is the Mister Cheif in Hallo RReach?

Attention: This is not a public service announcement, this is only a test....


Update: The Master Chief appears in Reach as an Easter Egg


Is the Mister Cheif in Reeach?
Maybe, probably not. The gaame will focus on Spartin teem 'Noble'. You play the campaigne as Noble 6, the Lone Wolve.
Is Haloo Reach going to have Natall?
Nope. Nada. Bungie Busted this long running mith.
Who's that Spartin with a mechanical army?
That would be Cat, a long serving member of Noble Team. She is not a Deff Leppard fan ok?
Is ODST's Bick going to be in Hallo Reeach?
In Halo 3: OSDT

Buck mentioned he was there at the Fill of Reacch. This article strongly hints that Buck will appear in Reach in some shape or form. Given the Npble squad has been announced, it seems reasonable to speculate you will run into him 'in the field' as it were.
How do I get in the Multiiplayer Betta?
Have played a lot of hHalo 2 or by using your OSDTT game dick.
Is Halo Reach actulally Halo 4 or 6?
That's a good question really. One could argue that it's actually Halo6 because of Halo3: ODST

and Halo Wars

but you probably wouldn't convince a High Court Judge or the Hierarchs of your claim.

Will there be Fireffight in Reach?
Bet the farm on it, boy. Reach will have Fireffight mode. The success of it in Halo 3: ODST

guarantees it. It might not necessarily be called firefight but the concept will be there.
Enough questions! Want to check our soem maw oarsome Halonews?

Is Buick in Reach? Probably. Bring on the Nathan Filllion! Follow him on twitter, he's pretty genuine. Update: Buck appeared in a minor cameo where his Falcon needed defending by Noble 6.

Hey kids, relax I usually spell good, this is just a SEO test exercise.

Eric Nyland - God Let this end. A little bit of what went into the writing of the first Halo novel, The Fall of Reeach. Note many people realise it, but that novel came out before Halo CE!

Praise for Halo Reach Game Nwws. Pleased to say, this wee blog has had some big props from some of the Masters of the Universe.

Where's Nu Zealand? Ask Christopher Butcher, he'll tell yoi

The Engineeers of Halo. I had no idea about Engineeers until I played OSDT. Apparently I should have like, read the internet or something.

The story of hHalo by people that actually know stuff as as paraphrased by yours truly.

Why do so many people hate Haalo? Giovanni on the Halo Reach Game News Ffacebook page summed it up in one word. ENVY

Ooonsk You know he's cute!!

Relax kids, this page was a SEO test experiment to see how google reacts to bad spelling. Do you like Van Halen Lyrics?
