- 2 months 9 days ago You like DC characters? Boy howdy, there are a ton of them in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (but no Huntress. Below is a list of every character in the game (in the order they appear on the character selection screen), how to unlock them and how much they cost. (Note: a few of the character tokens, such as Joker Clown Henchman, Joker Mime Henchman, and Joker Space Henchman, share the same space on the character selection grid.)LEGO Batman 3: Más Allá de GothamWhile so far, most of the art that's been revealed as part of the upcomign crossover between The Flash and Batman titled "The Button" has centered on the lenticular covers featuring Batman, The Flash, and the pre-Flashpoint Reverse-Flash, Batman writer Tom King has revealed a new cover for Batman #21 from artist Jason Fabok that speaks volumes even without moving. You can check it out below. "None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me."
Coming in Batman 21. Art by Jason Fabok. — Tom King (@TomKingTK) February 24, 2017 The image, from artist Jason Fabok, features Batman standing at the Batcave computer terminal, surrounded by various images featuring The Comedian's button from Watchmen. The tweet itself features a quote from Rorschach, uttered while he was in jail during Watchmen's main story. The world's greatest detective will take on one of the greatest mysteries in DC's multiverse this spring. If you’ve been wondering about how the mystery behind Geoff Johns’ DC Universe: Rebirth #1 continues, you’ll find out more beginning this April in “The Button,” a four-part story arc in issues #21 and #22 of Batman and The Flash. Courtesy of the Batman team of writer Tom King and artist Jason Fabok, along with The Flash writer Joshua Williamson and artist Howard Porter, the two greatest detectives in the DC Universe unite to unravel the mystery behind a certain blood-stained smiley face button stuck in the Batcave wall.
However, what begins as a simple investigation soon turns deadly when the secrets of the button prove irresistible to an unwelcome third party – and it’s not who anyone suspects! This is a mystery woven throughout time, and the countdown starts here."It's a shared concept, it's not mine to play with. It's something that Geoff set up and obviously is a major event that's coming this year, I believe, and therefore it's a privilege to be able to write the book and the character, Wally, who is so close to the heart of all that. Also, I have to be very careful. Every possible connection to it, every possible nod in that direction, has to be carefully checked to make sure I'm not going too far or saying too much. I don't want to frustrate readers by going, 'Oh, nobody will ever mention it again,' but at the same time, I don't wan to start doing too much and people go, 'Well, when's this story happening?' It's not my story to tell just now. Titans and Wally are going to be fundamentally bound up in it, but I just want to make sure that the readers are aware that we haven't forgotten it and we weren't just brushing it away.
Any little thing like [mentioning "Manhattan" in Titans #6] I could throw in is great. I have to say there were 2 or 3 other thigns that didn't get past the editorial gaze. 'Can I just do that?' 'No, that's too much.' So I was very pleased with the things that we were able to lace in there. If you know Watchmen well, then they're glaringly obvious but from the point of view of people who don't necessarily know it as well and certainly from the point of view of the characters in the story, these things have no significance whatsoever." DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns stepped away from writing comics following the best-selling DC Universe: Rebirth #1 last year in order to make more time for the increased responsibilities he has overseeing DC's movie slate. Recently he revealed that his return to comics writing would come in 2017, and would relate to that book's final pages, in which it was teased that Doctor Manhattan was responsible for some of the events of the post-Flashpoint DC Universe.
Johns hasn't said exactly when he will be working on the story, and we had previously speculated that he might start writing near the end of the year with an eye on a March or May 2018 release date, which would line up with Action Comics #1,000 and the two-year anniversary of Rebirth. Abnett's comments seem to indicate an earlier release plan. There's a whole lot of circumstantial evidence to suggest Mr. Oz, who will play a major role in an upcoming Superman storyline, is in fact Ozymandias from Watchmen. Similarly, it seems as though Ozymandias -- and somebody else, who has blue energy like Doctor Manhattan -- kidnapped Tim Drake, the former Robin, and faked his death. In addition to the standard $2.99 covers on Batman and The Flash in late April and early May, each of the four issues will feature a special $3.99 lenticular cover, all drawn by Jason Fabok. These issues hit your local comics retailer and digital comics retailers beginning April 19.It's time to look back at all the geeky announcements in the world of gaming, TV, film, and comics.
This week we have fantastic news about The Lego Batman Movie, news on when DC Rebirth will get to all the good stuff, when the Inhumans TV show will debut on American TV screens, and more. When DC kicked off its Rebirth event earlier this year, it kickstarted a mystery that tied the world of Watchmen into the mainstream DC comic universe. Buuut that hasn't really been explored in the months since. That's going to change in the new year. In the latest issue of DC’s “Direct Currents” magazine (via CBR), co-publisher Dan Didio confirmed that many mysteries of Rebirth will be covered in the early parts of 2017. Evidently, the Flash and Batman will be combining their forensic knowledge to work out where the strange smiley face badge came from. Obviously we know it came from the corpse of the Comedian, but not how it ended up embedded in the Batcave's wall. We'll also find out what the heck happened to Ray Palmer, as Ryan Choi takes on the mantle of the Atom in the pages of Justice League of America.
It'd also be nice if they finally got round to that 'there are three Jokers' revelation from back in July. You'd think that would be Batman's priority. It's apparently been revealed when the upcoming Inhumans TV series will debut on US television, thanks to a report from The Hollywood Reporter. According to the report, Inhumans' first episode will debut on 27th September 2017, with the other eight episodes being broadcast on subsequent weeks. We still have no word on when it'll come to the UK, or on which channel, but if it's an uninterrupted eight week block then hopefully it won't be too long a wait. Especially since the first two episodes are premiering on IMAX screens across the world in early September. We have some fantastic news from the set of The Lego Batman Movie this week, because the film will feature the villain Two-Face. Oh, and he's being played by Billy Dee Williams, best known as playing Lando Calrissian in Star Wars. He does https://t.co/sf1x4NtRzS — Chris McKay (@buddboetticher) November 30, 2016 Some of you may also know that Billy Dee played Harvey Dent in Tim Burton's Batman movie, before being bought out of his contract and replaced by Tommy Lee Jones in Batman Returns.
Now he's finally getting his chance. He also had a cameo in The Lego Movie, providing the voice for Lego Lando. If that wasn't enough, here's a brand new poster featuring an assortment of characters including the Justice League and Batman's extensive Rogues Gallery. There are a few characters we haven't seen in promos before, like Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, the Mutant leader from The Dark Knight Returns, and a woman I can only speculate is Dr Leslie Thompkins. Rumours have been circulating that Lucasfilm isn't quite done with Obi Wan Kenobi, but unfortunately that doesn't mean a solo film is on the cards. According to Slash Film, Lucasfilm wants to feature Obi Wan in the main saga (i.e. Episodes VIII and IX), which apparently takes priority over solo films. It's not clear whether Obi Wan would be a force ghost, or be part of a flashback. It'll be interesting how Lucasfilm explains why Alec Guinness has become the much younger-looking Ewan McGregor. This further adds some fuel to the rumour pyre that claims Obi Wan has some sort of connection with Rey.
But we'll just have to wait until next December, when Episode VIII is released, to find out for sure. The Christmas episode (and the annoying mid-season finale) of The Flash is a very special team-up episode, with two Flashes finally teaming up together on-screen. To help in the fight against Savitar, Barry travels to Earth 3 to enlist the help of Jay Garrick. The episode also sees the return of Mark Hamill as The Trickster, only this time he's playing the more Joker-looking Earth 3 incarnation. This week saw Supergirl cross dimensions and assist Team Arrow, Team Flash, and the Legends of Tomorrow repel an alien invasion. Unfortunately Kara Zor-El never got to see the inside of the Legends' time/space ship the Waverider. According to executive producer Mark Guggenheim, it wasn't for lack of trying, and while they kept trying to make it happen, but it never really worked. They'll keep trying next year, apparently. It's also been revealed that Supergirl will be going up against the impish Mister Mxyzptlk during two episodes set to air in the New Year.
For those who don't know, he's a being from the fifth dimension that utilises technology so advanced it seems like magic - and there doesn't appear to be a limit to his abilities. Presumably he's going to enjoy messing with Supergirl just as much as he enjoys messing with her cousin. Some supposed concept art for the God of Thunder's threequel has apparently surface via Thailand Superhero Club's Facebook page. It features Hulk sporting the Planet Hulk-esque gladiator armour that debuted at this year's San Diego Comic Con, alongside Thor who is sporting an updated version of his (normally) iconic helmet and wielding two swords. While it certainly seems to match up with what we know already, this could easily be fake. So don't be surprised if something different pops up in the coming months. That said, it wouldn't be surprising if Thor is separated from Mjolnir somehow. All those thunder powers and an immovable hammer would make gladiatorial bouts a bit one-sided. According to reports, the upcoming Spider-movie will feature another comic-faithful addition to Spidey's suit.
