We all remember our favorite cartoons from our childhoods. For some it was “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, for others it was “Transformers”, and for the rest it was “Thundercats”!

As a kid I wanted nothing more than to be Lion-O. Running around the house with my very own Sword of Omens, attacking Mum-Ra’s forces at every corner. Well my friends, the ThunderCats are back…well sort of.

Lion-O of course is still the main protagonist, along with Tygra and Cheetara. Unfortunately, at this point in the series it looks like old fan favorite Panthro has not survived his most recent mission. This is a little disappointing as I really liked him. And of course Snarf is back!

At this point in the show he doesn’t speak, which if anyone remembers the original voice from the 80′s isn’t a bad thing at all. We will have to see how the series progresses to see if I can enjoy this even half as much as the original. I will say that it gave me goose bumps to hear Lion-O (voiced by the ever so awesome Will Friedle, who played Eric on “Boy Meets World” and popular from his many other voice overs like “Batman Beyond”) utter that wonderful battle cry,”Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! THUNDERCATS!!!!”

Even more images have hit the web from the Pittsburg filming location which appears to be a prisoner revolt of some kind and even images of Bane and Batman fighting. Since I have already had an investigator from Warner Bros. visit me at my home for leaked images of “The Dark Knight”, I will simpler provide a link and a spoiler alert.

You can check out all of these images HERE.

Ever wonder what a first person shooter would be like in the DC Universe? Well here is a new trailer for the upcoming “Gotham City Impostors” game where you get to choose sides, build your character and have at each other in what seems to be an awkwardly comical way.

We have seen a number of great Batman fan films in the past, but not many that have fully demonstrated the character’s ultimate fighting prowess.  Co-produced by ENSO Productions and Gotham City FX, “Batman: The Last Laugh” is one of the most impressively choreographed films I have seen, offering professional stuntwork, pyrotechnics, and dynamic fighting sequences.  It appears like a complementary follow-up to Chris Nolan’s Batman films, with costumes that closely resemble those from the film and even its own Bat-Pod.  There is also somewhat of a resemblance to “Batman: Arkham Asylum”, as we see the character taking on multiple thugs at once in a fighting style similar to the video game.

While I do commend the amazing talent and efforts poured into this work, I hate to say that it does have its setbacks.  What I understood from the studio was that this film was intended to primarily showcase their stuntwork and choreography, with less emphasis on other elements. There is little to no dialogue, not much of a story, a slightly overpowering musical score, and fighting that is more excessive than what we’d see in a typical production.  However, the cinematography is right on par and shows us what I believe we would have seen had Chris Nolan pulled back the camera a bit during the fight scenes.  ”Batman: The Last Laugh” is a highly recommended viewing, but take it as what it is – a bold, ruthless, no-holds-barred action film of The Dark Knight simply kicking ass to the max.

I’m going to go ahead and say this isn’t any intricate viral marketing scheme but I found it funny.

Thanks for sending this Kelvin.

Stana Katic from the series “Castle” has been confirmed as the voice of Talia al Ghul in the upcoming game, “Batman: Arkham City.

“Talia is such a complex character and it was great to voice her in Batman: Arkham City,” said Katic regarding her role in the game.  “I was amazed at all the detail put into the project and it’s great to see how excited the fans are about the game.”

A reservation list from Blockbuster in the UK has put a date on a PlayStation Vita release as early as October 28 of this year. There has been much speculation as to when the hardware will be released worldwide and most people were hoping for a fall or pre-holiday release.

Well if the British Blockbuster has it right, the Vita could be available just before Halloween. After playing it at E3, it seemed like we got a hands-on with a pretty stable and finalized version of the powerful new Sony handheld. The only thing we could see getting in the way of an early release date would be manufacturing issues which Sony tends to be pretty good about.

We will bring you any updates as they come in.
