Which Green Lantern Are You?























































DC Comics recently released this handy "Which Green Lantern Are You?" flowchart and surprisingly, there's no mention of GL Alan Scott.  I won't reveal which one I am but I'm one of those, down at the bottom of the chart!

What's next for the Batman film franchise?


With Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy behind us, what's next for the franchise? There's lots of possibilities but only a few that we wouldn't mind seeing.

If you haven't seen The Dark Knight Rises, STOP READING NOW. 

SPOILERS AHEAD.

REVIEW: Justice League #6


The first arc of the New 52's flagship title concludes as the "Super Seven" battles the mighty Darkseid. Memo to Darkseid: don't piss off Superman.

Justice League New 52 Action Figures Officially Announced



Concepts were shown at conventions all last year, but it looks like DC has finally unveiled an official image of DC Direct's upcoming New 52 Justice League line. Click the image to see release dates for each figure.

Sadly, we have to wait a WHOLE YEAR for Superman. :(

DC Comics: The New 52 December 2011 Run Down


AQUAMAN #4 - "The Trench" arc concludes here in issue #4. Another superb issue by Geoff Johns. I know it's crazy but he just knows exactly what we fan boys want to see, and continues to show just how awesome the Aquaman character really is. Aquaman is a perfect example of the purpose of the entire New 52 reboot. Unfortunately it did feel a tad rushed towards the end, and I almost felt like it could have been another issue long, but its a minor set back. Great art by Ivan Reis.

NIGHTWING #4 - This was a fun issue and is what Batgirl #3 should have been! I just eat up members of the Bat-family working together, and Barbara Gordon with Dick Grayson are as epic of a duo as you can get. Since issue #1, Kyle Higgins has shown why Dick Grayson was meant to be Nightwing. Trevor McCarthy took over on pencils for this issue, and as much as I loved Eddy Barrows's art it's a welcome change. Unfortunately story-wise this issue was pretty much filler. But welcome filler.

GREEN LANTERN #4 - First off, pick up the variant cover for this issue if you can! Great issue and we see more of Sinestro's abilities and just how great of a Green Lantern he was/still is. I've said it before, but the love-hate dynamic between Hal and Sinestro makes for a fun read. However, the current story is starting to drag just a little, and I want things to move on. As usual excellent artwork by Doug Mahnke. Can't wait for issue #5, but I seriously hopefully the whole "Let's save Korugar" arc ends too.

LEGO Batman 2 officially confirmed



Hurray! Warner Brothers and The Lego Group have officially confirmed LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes for a summer 2012 release! Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern have all been confirmed as playable characters, while the Joker and Lex Luthor will be the game's primary villains. Crossing my fingers for the Flash or Aquaman!!

DC Comics: The New 52 - November Run Down


AQUAMAN #3 - Geoff Johns continues to prove that Aquaman is actually pretty cool. I love how Johns incorporates all of our preconceptions and prejudices of Aquaman and Mera and clearly defines what they're really capable of. Solid story, and great art by Ivan Reis. Waiting for #4!

BATMAN #3 - Though this issue honestly felt like filler, it is by no means a bad comic book. Another good issue by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, even though not much really happens. One can assume it's going to be crazy good next month. I especially liked seeing Batman using a glider through Gotham City.

GREEN LANTERN #3 - Sinestro and Hal Jordan are obvious archenemies, but have surprisingly great chemistry together. Another fun issue, and Sinestro steals the spotlight here. It ends with a pretty crazy cliffhanger. Another series that I'm looking forward reading next month.

REVIEW: Tales of The Green Lantern Corps Annual 3

The Green Lantern movie didn't adequately capture the legendary space police force. Tales of The Green Lantern Corps Annual 3, the last issue of the annuals, featured short stories profiling and starring many of the countless brave Green Lanterns patrolling the galaxies. Besides the Alan Moore story featuring noted Green Lantern Katma Tui, you'll discover several other gems that made the annual a must-read for any fan of the Corps.

Following the similar format used in Tales of The Green Lantern Corps Annual 2, the subsequent annual focused on the minor Corps members. Unfortunately, Annual 3 proved to be the last of the series and the Green Lantern Corps monthly comic was eventually cancelled too. The short stories provided a lasting glimpse of the depth of the Corps. Other acclaimed writers and artists besides Alan Moore who contributed on Annual 3, included Kurt Busiek, Joey Cavalieri, Joe Staton, Kevin Nowlan and John Byrne. Joe Staton provided a special framing sequence starring one of the Green Lanterns featured in the annual.

LEGO Batman 2 Promo Image Revealed


A leaked promo image for Lego Batman 2 has surfaced on the web. Titled "LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheroes", the game will likely feature Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern as playable characters. (Lego bricks AND an imagination fueled Green Lantern ring? Winning.)

We're hoping the game isn't limited to just Gotham City this time around, and also explores other locations of the DC universe. Imagine flying through space as Lego Hal Jordan dodging Lego bricked asteroids? :)

With the addition of more characters to the DC x Lego Universe, this all but promises more DC Lego sets in the future!

The game doesn't have a set release date but is rumored for Summer 2012.

Green Lantern Digital Movie Review


Despite what critics have said and the movie's mediocre run at the box office, Green Lantern, is still a great movie.  The extended cut digital edition available via iTunes, featuring additional minutes and more goodies, should be enjoyed by diehard fans and adds more depth to the origin story.  If you've skipped the movie altogether, this review should entice you to check it out.

REVIEW: Justice League #1

Midnight has come and gone, and the old DC Universe is no more. So how's the New 52 so far? Was it worth the midnight release parties? (Beware, spoilers ahead).
