DC Entertainment and Warner Brothers have created a Campaign to help fight the hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa. It's called "WE CAN BE HEROES" and it will use the JUSTICE LEAGUE characters as a vehicle (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg).
WE CAN BE HEROES will support the efforts of three humanitarian aid organizations working in Africa: Save the Children, International Rescue Committee and Mercy Corps.
The region is suffering its worst drought and famine in over 60 years, with 13 million in need of critical assistance and 250,000 facing starvation in Somalia alone. Basically, if I got the information right, DC Entertainment will match each dollar donated until two million dollars has been distributed over the next two years. One way they will be raising funds is through the sale of special merchandise. This includes a WE CAN BE HEROES T-Shirt ( shown up above ), an iPhone Cover, Water Bottle, and Ceramic Coffee Mug. You can make direct donations, learn more about the project, or purchase the special items via their WE CAN BE HEROES website, click here.
Around early May of this year, 2012, be sure to look for the "NEW 52 - JUSTICE LEAGUE BATMAN" DC Direct Action Figure to hit the stores! This is the first figure in an ongoing line based on Geoff Johns and Jim Lee’s best-selling JUSTICE LEAGUE Comic Books. It will measure approx 6 3/4" tall and will also be specially packaged. The exact Release Date is May 2nd.
OK, Now, How Cool is This?! Recently, a Bat-Blog Fan named Jeffery got married and for the special occasion he made a BATMAN and WONDER WOMAN Wedding Cake Topper! He used some Action Figures from Mattel's "Justice League" line to make it & it's really GREAT! Thanks Jeffery for sharing this special moment & wonderful photos. Oh yeah, and CONGRATULATIONS!
This week, since there's not been much new hype about it, I thought I'd post some FREE BATMAN WALLPAPERS to celebrate the anticipation of the JUSTICE LEAGUE DOOM DC Universe Animated Film coming out later. This movie looks like it's gonna be cool! Of course the Dark Knight's main Villain in this will be BANE!!
SIDE NOTE: These photos were taken from the WORLD'S FINEST Website & are exclusive to that site. I assumed they were Official Warner Bros Promo Pics but they're not. Sorry about that! THE WORLD'S FINEST is a great website for news on Superhero TV Cartoons & Animated Movies.
Well, we finally got a photo of the JUSTICE LEAGUE: DOOM DVD Cover Art & here it is! The cool thing is that "Batman" is the main featured character ( He deserves it, because he's the coolest, ha! ). This movie is an adaptation of Mark Waid’s "Tower of Babel" story-arc that was seen in older comic book issues of Justice League of America.
The basic story is Batman has been keeping secrets about how to destroy each JLA member just in case one ever goes rogue! The information is stored on his Bat-Computer in the Batcave. Batman feels pretty secure about nobody being able to get this data but R'as Al Ghul steals it & then the real crisis really gets going!
The list of Voice Actors includes Tim Daly, Kevin Conroy, Nathan Fillion, Michael Rosenbaum, and Susan Eisenberg, among others. Look for it to hit retail stores around early 2012.
Here's a new "Batman Product" you might keep an eye out for on your next shopping trip to the Grocery Store. General Mills Cereals is running a promo with DC Comics to promote the JUSTICE LEAGUE characters. They have a neat Cereal Box with some small "DC Comics" graphics on the front, but the cool thing is that one of the boxes has a large cut-out mask of Batman on the back! Also, FREE INSIDE, is a really great mini-size comic book. It's actually very decent quality measuring about 5" X 7" with 12 pages. The grade of the paper & color printing is really nice. I was sort of impressed with it as a cereal premium. There are 4 books to collect. I got Issue #2, shown here.
DC Direct just announced some brand new BATMAN & JOKER Action Figures you might wanna get later. they're a part of the JUSTICE LEAGUE: HEROES & FOES ( SERIES 1 ). There will also be figures of Wonder Woman & The Flash ( not pictured here ). But, shown here, are the ones of Batman & the Prince of Crime, The Joker! All four figures feature multiple points of articulation and include display bases. Also, Character-appropriate accessories are also included. Batman measures approximately 6 3/4" high. Look for them to go on Sale around April 11th, 2012.
This is just a quick post to share a BATMAN Desktop Background Wallpaper I made the other night using some very current artwork of BATMAN from the New JUSTICE LEAGUE #1 Comic Book Issue.
Finally! It looks like the FATHEAD Wall Decal Sticker Company has finally come out with a brand-new BATMAN WALL STICKER! If you're not familiar with this product, basically, it's an extremely high-quality Vinyl Sticker that is Giant-Sized, I mean, SUPER-HUGE! This new one is sort of a "Comic Book" version & has the Dark Knight in a standing pose. You put it on the wall to decorate your Den or Office Space. They're also great for decorating kid's bedrooms. The quality is insane but I gotta warn you they're kinda pricey. For more info, check out the link below:
This BATMAN Fan-Made Humor Video combines a few clips from different animated versions of the Dark Knight & teaches us all some important lessons for life.
Just a quick post to let everybody know about a brand-new Batman Toy to keep an eye out for in the future. DC Comics & PEZ CANDY Inc. have teamed-up to create the JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA PEZ. This special PEZ Candy Dispenser Set will feature a bust of each character. So far they have announced Batman, Superman, & Green Lantern. But I'm guessing they will also be making other Superheroes as well ( Let's hope ). I mean, Hey! Where's Wonder Woman? Up above is a prototype photo. Stay tuned to the Bat-Blog & as soon as there is anymore news we'll let ya know.
While surfing through eBay the other day I came across this Life-Size BATMAN Statue & knew it had to be shared. Why? Well, besides being extremely cool, the same company also makes many other members of the Justice League. Just check out the 2nd photo: Superman, Flash, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern!!
THE QUARTER BIN website was lucky enough to get to go to the Movie Premier of JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS and interview many of the people involved in creating the film. The 1st interview is with Actor James Woods who does the voice for Owlman. The 2nd one is the writer of the movie, Dwayne McDuffie, & the last one is with the always great, always wonderful, Andrea Romano - Voice Director.
Since the DVD Movies ( Regular DVD, 2-Disc Set, & Blu-Ray ) for the new DC Universe JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS animated film is going on sale today I thought I would share a few Free Background Wallpapers to celebrate! One features just Batman & the other one has Owlman & our favorite Dark Knight... enjoy!
OK, Here's a list of all the Promo Deals the Retail Stores are having to promote sales of their DVD of JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTH. The 3 I'm covering are the major outlets: Best Buy, Amazon, & Target. I checked the Walmart website & they didn't list anything so if they do something please let me know. There might also be other promotional items out there with other stores. I have tried to compile this information the best I can so if it's not totally accurate then it's not my fault, ha! Alright, here we go! Most of the stores on this list have a Free Exclusive if you buy the DVD 2-Disc Set or the Blu-Ray Copy only. Looks like you don't get anything if you buy the regular DVD movie. Best Buy has an Exclusive 3" Figure of OWLMAN ( yeah, you read that right, 3 inches. But it does look kinda cool though ). Amazon gives you a Free Lithograph Poster with a graphic from the animated film ( No Batman shown ). The movies you buy at Target have a special "Extra Short of The SPECTRE" that sounds pretty cool! But, at the Amazon website they show that they have it too ( I think Target sells a lot of stuff through Amazon, like they are partners or something ). If I get any more information on any new promotional items then I'll be sure to post them here. So, stay tuned with the Bat-Blog!
More News from TOY FAIR 2010: OK, you know the toy company named FUNKO? They make those awesome Wacky Wobbler Nodders. I really love those things. Well, now they have another division in their company that makes cute Character Plush Dolls ( or Plushes ). They're doing the Wizard of OZ, Alice in Wonderland, & the Justice League of America! To get things started here are Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern, & Superman. Now this totally makes me wonder since they finally ( finally! ) got the right to do DC Comics comic book characters then maybe, just maybe, they might start to make a few Funko Bobblehead Nodders. That would be so awesome!!
