CON LIFE

SDCC 2017/ Day 1 & 2 Wrap-Up

So much takes place during San Diego Comic-Con that we may miss a few things. Here's just a sampling of the things we found out during the first two days of SDCC 2017!

GAMES, SUPERHEROES

Injustice 2 Is Justice 2 The Franchise...Get It?

Injustice 2 is out and I have played it extensively. Before I get into what I think of the game let me admit to something...I am not good at fighting games. At least, not these traditional fighting games. So I’m also approaching this game from the standpoint of someone who wants to learn and get better. That being said, let’s get into it!

SUPERHEROES, TELEVISION

Titans & Young Justice: Outsiders Will Debut In 2018!

The level of “squee” that came out of my mouth when I heard about a live action Teen Titans was probably over 100 on the decibel scale (See: Chainsaws and fireworks).

Batman: Bad Blood - TRAILER

The next installment into the DC Animated Universe is going to be Batman: Bad Blood. The story is going to focus on Batman's disappearance and Dick Grayson taking up the mantle as the Bat with Damian Wayne rejoining the team as Robin. They find some help in the form of Batwoman and Batwing, making their debuts to the on screen Batfamily.

Batman: Bad Blood Official Trailer

While reporting on the big events of NYCC, the lovable crew of DC All Access were able to also give us our first look at the next installment into the DC Animated Universe, Batman: Bad Blood. This film will give us our very first look at Batwing and Batwoman outside of the comics and promises to be filled with action and drama!

New DC Books/Creative

DC Launching New Books With New Creative Teams

Beginning June 3rd DC Comics is going to do away with the New 52 moniker and start a few new books. There will be a vast number of ongoing books that will remain, but we're going to get some interesting new titles as well.

Ongoing: Grayson #1

Ongoing: Grayson #1

From a very early age, I was fascinated with the Robin character in the Batman universe. Not just with the comics, but with the '66 television series, the animated series, and continuing on into Teen Titans and Nightwing. He eventually would break away from Batman to be his own hero. He recognized that he would forever be in Bruce's shadow so he left Gotham and became a vision of hope for a new city that needed a savior.

Review: Son of Batman (Spoilers)

I've been a big fan of the DCAU (DC Animated Universe) since day one. The Batman: Animated Series was the best after school cartoon I can remember (Aside from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and X-Men: The Animated Series). DC jumped into another stratosphere when they started making their direct-to-video/DVD animated films. My favorite of the films is probably Batman: Under the Red Hood, but its really tough to choose as almost all of them have been so great. Their latest release, Son of Batman, is an adaptation of Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert's 2006 Batman and Son storyline. A loose adaptation at that, the film veers a bit from the source material.

Robin

Intro to Side-kicking: Robin 101

Over the years and many, many issues of Batman comic books, there have been quite a few young men (and even women) to call themselves Robin. Some are well known to the general Batman loving public, while others are unknown to the casual fan. When asking a friend if she knew who the second Robin was, she stated “there’s more than one?” And that’s coming from someone who’s fairly geeky in her own right. So today I thought I’d go through the roster of people who have fought beside Batman as Robin and talk about how they got to be in that position.
