Toy Fair 2012 : Batman: Arkham City

ARE YOU READY FOR HEAD EXPLODEY??!! You know what the best thing about having someone take excellent pictures for you is? You can actually enjoy them! The mighty, mighty Halestorm is back with a giant pile of DC Direct Batman: Arkham City action figure images that may make you weep with joy. In fact, they are soooo so pretty, they get their own article. My reaction is to start calculating how much I'll have to save every week to get these suckers. No freebies for Nomad. Upcoming Arkham City action figures include...

Batman Arkham City Action Figures Series 2 April 2012 : Catwoman (who I still swear was modeled after Yaya Han, even though the designer swears it isn't), The Riddler (who is an excellent mix of Frank Gorshin and a more punk rock Bing Crosby), Hush, Batman in Detective Mode (which is more beautiful than I could have possibly dreamed...gush) & Jervis Tetch AKA The Mad Hatter (with gang signing action).









































Series 3 September 2012 : Clown Thug (which has a variant shown below..said to be 50/50 in cases. HEY!! ARMY BUILDERS!! Why didn't anyone else ever think of that?!), The Penguin, Ra's Al Ghul, Batman & Azrael. We suspect we'll see the last three at Toy Fair in NY next week!






















Batman Arkham City Deluxe Collector Action Figures - This June: Killer Croc & Mr. Freeze followed by Titan Joker in November .

Gotham High AKA The Cartoon Bullet We Thankfully Dodged

You can say a lot of things about how Warner Brothers handles their DC heroes when they are adapted for kid's cartoons, but today, we got a look at a project that would never be and sigh in great relief. That project is called Gotham High.

"We all go through incredible changes as teenagers: growth spurts, bad skin, a sudden insatiable need to uphold justice and avenge your murdered parents…. Well, that is if you’re Bruce Wayne.
As if being a freshman at Gotham High wasn’t tough enough, Bruce’s insomnia and technological fascinations are taking their toll. Instead of spending his time studying, he has begun to obsess over an emerging personality trait: Batman. But under the watchful eye of his guardian and steward, Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce is forced to put his intelligence to good use: graduating high school. But given his classmates, can Bruce survive Gotham High?"

Ug. Just...awful. Teen Batman dealing with the ups and downs of being a mixed up kid with raging hormones while questioning his yearning to be THE BATMAN and ...doing what with his evil classmates? Fighting them when they steal test answers? Doing battle on the dodge ball court?? Outwitting The Riddler as he attempts to rig the home coming king voting???!!! Blek. Have a laugh at the cool but still horrible images for this prospective show.
