#DCnews Elseworlds | Elseworlds Extended Official Trailer | The CW

This year's crossover between the CW's DC shows looks... frankly, EPIC!!

Look at how fun it looks! The reference to the 90s Flash's show (and Earth??)! Batwoman!



I missed/skipped a few seasons, but I might need to catch this up.

#DCNews Batman Gotham by Gaslight Sneak Peek

And here's a little teaser for the upcoming next DC Animated Movie, which will be based on one of my favorite Elseworld stories - Gotham by Gaslight!



The Victorian-esque Batman promises to be a lot of fun. I kind of dislike how they picked this usual generic art style instead of trying to match Mike Mignola's unique visual style...

ComicPageOfTheWeekend: Green Arrow and The Atom defeat Darkseid...

Soon on the CW.

...Why not? Can't a man dream??

#Movie NEWS! Flashpoint Paradox Trailer

And here's a trailer of DC Comics/Warner Bros. next animated film, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox!

Yes, based on that universe altering crossover event, but presented here as a simple Elseworld-kind of story.



I dunno why, but I have high hopes for it.

I'm sure as a standalone story, more Flash-centric and by itself, it might even be better than the real thing.

The film will at least start a fantastic cast of actors such as Ron Perlman as Slade and Nathan Fillion either back as Hal Jordan or just "Green Lantern" (if you know the story, you'll get what I mean..).

From the looks of it it seems Professor Zoom will get more screentime, and they added Flash villain The Top in there. Awesome.

It's expected for a July 30th release date.

#DC News! Upcoming animated features

Note to self: Here's the upcoming new Animated Movie releases from DC/Warner Bros.

First on May 7 we have Superman Unbound!

Which is... a bit strange. I mean why adapt Superman: Brainiac? It was a fun story but also a set up for the New Krypton storyline... Wouldn't a New Krypton standalone feature be, well, better?

Then July 30 we will have Justice League The Flashpoint Paradox!

Now I know what some might say: Flashpoint was a set up for the New 52. But it also provides a very simple concept. Flash ends up in a "wacky" alternate universe.

An alternate world *SPOILERALERT*Bruce Wayne's dad is Batman, Wonder Woman is fighting against Aquaman over Europe and Superman is nowhere to be found*SPOILEROUT* and now he has to put things back to normal.

The casting counts Nathan Fillion returning as Hal Jordan (even if he'll barely be in this one because *cough*he never became a Green Lantern and Abin Sur's still alive*cough*). Which is awesome.

Also this marks the Flash's first animated feature (in a way). Hope this means Warner will try focusing on others than Bats and Supes in the future.

#Drawing - Green Hill

Today’s daily sketch was free of choice. So I picked up Carrie Kelly.

ComicPanelsOfTheWeek: Countdown to Irwin Schwab

So I've been reading lots of "Elseworlds" DC Comics.
And by lots I mean tons of 'em.
And by tons I mean in the 30s of them, no doubt.


And who do I find amongst the alternate realities-characters while reading the latest story I had under the hand today?

That's right! Amongst the dozen or so characters they tend to always use (Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, GL, Flash, etc..) and the ones the authors on this story played with for a change (Big Barda, Jade, Dr. Mid-nite,etc.) - Tom Simmons, Matt Haley and Barbara Kesel did an Elseworld-Ambush Bug!!!

How very random, unusual and odd choice....but I loved it!
Glad to see Irwin making it into one of these comics for a change!

Even his design's epic!
Random, silly and "out of character for him", but epic as well!

'thought it would be worth to report this lil' tidbit on the blog.

Deleted Scenes - Gotham by Gaslight game

Okay, here's another one that never was.

Apparently, there was a Gotham by Gaslight video game planned at some point.
That's right, a game based on the classic Elseworld story by Brian Augustyn, BATMAN: GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT:

Deleted Scenes - What if... DC-Mangaverse

Comic book artist Cliff Chiang revealed on Project Rooftop he had been working on a manga/anime-inspired take on the Justice League...

Just imagine what it could have been...

Outcast Studios - LIVE DRAW NIGHT December 2011

http://outcaststudios.com/forums/

Hi guys!
Yesterday evening was my 4th participation in the Outcast forums all-new "Live Draw Nights" for this quarter!
(You can find all my previous blogs by either following my meme tag or checking out the following links for the LDN February 2011, LDN May 2011 & LDN September 2011)

This weekend was yet another rude sessions of sketching, sketching and even more sketching!
Like before, I tried to keep my Twitter account updated as I went along.

If you're just joining me and don't know in what this LDN art jam challenge consists, it was roughly 4 hours long of various challenge thrown at us.
It's kinda like being in a "virtual convention" with various online members of the Outcast forums, getting various different challenges every hour and having to quickly (either digitally or traditionally) draw a lot of random characters.
It's a real challenging practice.
It was fun to get all together and draw, draw, draw! Keep our senses sharp and our hand fast. A great way to work your skills if you will!

Like the previous times, we had a great time. Various characters and fun ideas during the night.
Just trying to keep up is a fun challenge in itself!~

Now, let's dig into yesterday's entries!

Score!!! Free swag~ (episode 3)

So my local comic store is finally closing doors....on its old address and moving some blocks away!

For that occasion they were cutting prices, like a lot!
And selling off stuff for ridiculously small prices..
And giving stuff away...

Anyway, figurines, CD and DVDs didn't grab much my attention.
I wasn't gonna grab stuff I wasn't looking for in the first place. (that's the way to end up with tons of useless stuff you don't really want)
Instead I was looking through comic book boxes and searching for series that interested me or issues I was missing. (not like some nerds I saw going away with WHOLE darn' boxes! what will they do with that stuff? sell it on ebay?? probably...)

Anyway I was looking specifically for Young Justice, Birds of Prey, Batgirl or Spider-girl issues... Only found 1 single Young Justice! -sigh- :(
(and another one I already had...in my only 5-6 issues I have currently)
Someone probably got away with a box from the end of the alphabet. (probably some Wolverine or X-men fanboy..)
I found a ton of Spider-man, Batman, X-men books..but not really interested in getting more of those. (I'd rather read some Batman in TPB instead)
Found some Amazing Fantasy/Araña, which is no Mayday Parker, but nice nonetheless.
No Spider-girl this time.
Old Green Arrow issues, some What if..., some Elseworlds, an Azrael....
Only one issue of Superman/Batman I really wanted, one of the parts of the Metal Men crossover! (I luv the Metal Men!)

Biggest surprise/catch?
The Great Lakes Christmas Special! (which I'm currently reading as I write these lines)
FantastAwesomEpic!

And that is all...
I'll miss the ol' comic book store.
The new one will be farthest from home but closer from work. (guess I know where I'll be spending my time at lunch)
