DC Comics’ Booster Gold Is Still Great!
Posted by David Torres Categories:
I’ve been reading comics on and off for almost 25 years. I began as a “Marvel Zombie.” For those not familiar with that term, it means that I only read Marvel comics. That however all changed in 1989 with the release of the first Tim Burton “Batman” movie and then decided to start reading Batman, the comic book. The first issue I picked up was Batman #433. That was part one of John Byrne’s “The Many Deaths of Batman.” This was a “silent issue” meaning no dialogue or captions were printed to help tell the story - only pictures. I do believe Gordon said one word, but overall it was silent issue and I was hooked.
As time passed, I began reading other DC titles. I loved the “Death of Superman” storyline and Mark Waid made me love Wally West and the Flash. Then came James Robinson’s Starman. That book is the bible to me. I love that book so much, I got a tattoo of the Starman symbol on my left shoulder. I stopped reading comics for a while, but I found my way back and I’ve been reading comics again for about six or seven years now - mostly DC books, by the way.
And one of those books is Booster Gold.

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe: Complete roster revealed
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fighting, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
I’ve been looking forward to Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe from the moment that I saw the original teaser, where Sub-Zero and Batman were beating the crap out of each other. Back at E3, we were able to get our hands on the title, and were even more impressed when we got to experience Superman, Scorpion, and The Flash. However, now we can happily report that the full roster of the game has been revealed. It’s looking good:
Mortal Kombat side: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sonya, Jax, Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, Liu Kang, Raiden, Kitana, Kano, Baraka
DC side: Batman, Superman, Catwoman, Green Lantern, The Joker, Shazam, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Deathstroke, Lex Luthor, Darkseid
So we get 11 characters from each side (and who knows if we will get any hidden surprises?), and in turn, we get some interesting combinations. Raiden vs The Flash? Lex Luthor vs. Kano? Good stuff. You can get your hands on the game when it hits retail stores on November 10 for Xbox 360 and PS3.
Oh, and for those fearing that the DC license might mean a watered-down Mortal Kombat experience, we’ve got a video of The Joker’s fatality for you, after the break.

Batman Dark Knight Grappling Launcher Prop Replica
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Movies, Toys
We had to pay homage to “The Dark Knight” release today and thought that the Grappling Launcher seemed appropriate. The 12-inch prop replica is 6 x 7 x 12-inches and is hand-painted on cold-cast porcelain. Mounted on a display base, the Limited Edition of 1500 included a Certificate of Authenticity and comes in its own fancy box for £89.99 (~$180.00) with free delivery. We suspect that anything coming out of this movie will be a decent collector’s item and worth the expense.

Dark Knight Light-Up T-Shirt
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Wearables, Movies
More hype for the new Batman movie means more bucks for the producers, so it is little wonder that we found this Dark Knight light-up tee. The shirt is made of 100% cotton and has a small unplugable battery pack for washing. The clever t-shirt goes from glow to pulsating and requires 2 AAA batteries (not included.) There is also a Joker version available. Temporarily out of stock, you can pre-order each of the shirts for £19.99 ($~39.00,) in time for the movie premiere in July.
