Beware the Batman has a Trailer


To those who would hurt the innocent, beware the wrath of Batman. I admit, its a nice little tease. The Batmobile looks great in CG, although I am still not won over by the Dark Knight himself. From the glimpse I have seen, I think I prefer the look of the CG tease from the final episode of Brave and the Bold. Still, I am actually looking forward to this new series even though I am still not exactly sure what tone the series is aiming for. Hopefully something dark like Bat-Mite promised. As for the new voice of Batman, it sounds perfect.

Announcing Your Guide to the DC Nation Shorts


For the past seven weeks, DC Nation has debuted at least two new animated shorts, a pattern that looks like it will continue for the foreseeable future. If you add in the shorts from the DC Nation sneak peek back in November, 17 shorts have already aired and keeping track of them has begun to be a bit of a challenge... until now. I have created a page dedicated to the DC Nation animated shorts, including a guide to the shorts that have aired (with links to the shorts), the upcoming schedule, available images of unaired but announced shorts, and a list of announced and rumored shorts.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - A Game of Cat and Mouse



Catwoman wanted to steal some crown jewels on display in a castle. But since the jewels were so well guarded, she just stole the whole castle. Somehow, Catwoman was able to hide the whole castle and so despite being an expert detective, Batman had to come up with an elaborate plan to find it.
