So they did a special effects test for a live action Blue Beetle tv series. Yes, the Jaime Reyes version. Nothing is greenlit, this is mostly to drum up interest. Geoff Johns posted pictures. Again there is no show yet. They're just seeing if it could work. They're also planning to show the actual clip at Comic Con at a bunch of DC panels.

So icon_uk posted some Kevin Maguire model sheets for Justice League International, including Ted, Booster, Bea and J'onn. I willingly admit my first thought was "Oooh, line art, instant coloring fun!" Yes, I am perpetually twelve. After the day I've had, I needed some silliness.

madripoor_rose had the same thought only earlier.

So here's my version of Ted:

likeadeuce is discussing Batman & Cyclops bodyswap. Scott is going nuts over the cars. Bruce is dealing with kids even more messed up than him. All is well.

Speaking of the Bat, "Brave & the Bold" debuted last night on Cartoon Network. I quite enjoyed it. CBR has an interesting interview with Andrea Romano, the veteran voice director for most of the DCAU ( Read more... )

Dynamic Double Team: Cartoon Network has a game up for Brave & the Bold. You play Batman against Kanjar Ro's space pirates. The intro is kinda cute. Jaime is taking over Jack Knight's role as official fanboy of the DCU. "And I get to be partners with Batman!" And with a flip of the space bar, you can bring in Blue Beetle for reinforcements. *snerks ( Read more... )

I was going to blame marag and havocthecat for bibbling about the awesomenss of Eureka. But that would be far too easy. Not that they'll get off the hook entirely. My Eureka-watching would make my Atlantis days look normal, since I've watched the first seven of the first season, the last two or three of the second, and the first three of the third. I'm slowly ( Read more... )

So jarodrussell posted about "Bubblegum Crisis" and the idea of Ted leaving behind the prototype hardsuits. I started getting all nostalgic over the series.

These days I trip over it ( Read more... )
