Batman: How would The Bat-Man be without Bill Finger?
It's The Batman's 75th Anniversary this year, and while we have a lot to thank artist Bob Kane for coming up with the concept of the character, there's another unsung hero and comic personality who deserves a lot of credit for making Bruce Wayne and what his Dark Knight alter ego is today... And that's none other than Bill Finger.
Via i09 and Comic Book Resources, illustrator Ty Templeton made a pretty convincing classic comic strip on how Batman would have looked if Bob Kane had gone ahead and created "Bat-Man" without Bill Finger. This is simply a must read!
And there you have it. Bill Finger's influence would make The Batman as how he is TODAY.
February 8 marks what would have been Finger's 100th Birthday. 2014 truly is The Year of The Bat indeed.

DC Comics: Superman: Unchained and Nightwing for The New 52 ends this April
What started out as a new a prospect title during Superman's 75th Anniversary last year will finally bite the bullet and call it quits, as DC Comics' official solicitations for April 2014 have pretty much confirmed that the Scott Snyder and Jim Lee series will be drawing to a close...
But the other big news is that Nightwing is actually ending. Following the news of mainstay series writer Kyle Higgins' departure, the comic that stars Dick Grayson will apparently see its end and be written by James Tynion IV... And is it because of whatever turns out in the aftermath of Forever Evil? We'll only have to wait and see how things turn out once everything is said and done.

Can Batman keep his son in line, given that he's been raised by the League of Assassin's and trained to kill?
Adapted from the same storyline by Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert, Son Of Batman is expected to be released on Early 2014.

Batman Vs Superman: Warner Bros. pushes back film to May 6, 2016
Some very disappointing news has arrived for fans looking forward to the as of yet untitled "Man Of Steel" sequel with a working name "Batman Vs Superman", as Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment officially announced that the film will not meet its July 17, 2015 release date, and instead head for a May 6, 2016 release instead.
The reason, according to an article in Superherohype, states:
"the filmmakers time to realize fully their vision, given the complex visual nature of the story. The decision was made following the shift of the start of production to second quarter of this year."
And the full press release can be read via "Batman-News", which includes a note that Ben Affleck, who plays Batman/ Bruce Wayne in the film, injured his leg which delayed production.
Now that is a big BUMMER for those who were looking forward to a big year in 2015, which would not only have included this next DC film, but a ton of other heroic films and features as well, such as Avengers: Age of Ultron, Star Wars, and Jurassic World. "Batman Vs Superman", which would see Henry Cavill reprise his role as Superman/ Clark Kent, meets Batman/ Bruce Wayne played by Ben Affleck, putting the two iconic heroes side-by-side or against one another for the very first time in film. Fast and Furious star Gal Gadot was also cast as Wonder Woman/ Princess Diana of the Amazons, and the film is directec once more by Zack Snyder.
Expect the "Man Of Steel" sequel and seconf film in the DC Cinematic Universe with the new release date of May 6, 2016.

Set to return this February and usher in a new dilemma for the scattered group of Rick Grimes, AMC has released a brand new trailer for their popular zombie drama TV Series "The Walking Dead", which picks right up after the devastating mid-season finale where The Prison was lost.
Aptly taking the same name of the tagline of the midseason poster "Don't Look Back", this new trailer highlights what to expect next... And what dangers and obstacles Rick, Carl, and the others will have to face in order to find sanctuary from the undead... If there is any that is.
The trailer is available in AMC's official Walking Dead page.
UPDATE: Now via Superherohype, here is a working embeddable player for outside territories.
The Walking Dead returns on AMC on February 9.

The Walking Dead: Norman Reedus, aka Daryl Dixon, gets "Zombie Pranked" by fan and TWD crew
It's still a few weeks left until AMC resumes programming with the second half of the fourth season of their popular zombie series "The Walking Dead", but much promotion and dedication from the cast and crew behind the show has been ongoing. In fact, the TWD team recently travelled to Tokyo, Japan for a special promo tour to spread awareness for the oncoming new batch of episodes in the international market, and that includes stars Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus on the entourage, better known by their onscreen personas of Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon.
Now during a media promotion segment with Reedus, he gets a BIG WALKER SURPRISE in the form of a fan named Nick Santonastasso, a 17-year kid with a rare condition called "Hanhart" where he has only one arm and no legs. That doesn't deter the young fan however, who dresses up as a zombie and gets his chance to prank one of his idols in The Walking Dead, courtesy of Andrew "Rick Grimes" Lincoln and Executive Producer and zombie make-up artist Greg Nicotero!
Below is the video showing the entire hilarious "Punk'd" styled segment, courtesy of Fox Television's #getFOXed program and posted on ComicBook.com.

Ominous cover to "Batman #28" foreshadows strange things to come...
The future looks ominous for Batman... And that's the biggest understatement of the year given it's the character's 75th Anniversary this 2014. However, one of the issues intended to be part of the ongoing "Zero Year" saga has not been fitted with a different purpose... To give dedicated Bat-Fans a glimpse of what may possibly transpire with Caped Crusader beyond what we see in the present DC Comics New 52 timeline today.
As Newsarama teased in their post, current and popular Batman writer Scott Snyder's got something teased for Batman readers in the special February issue of "Batman #28", which will not only give everyone a look at what's to come in the upcoming weekly "Batman: Eternal" series, but also something... drastic and SPOILERISH that even looks more out of the ordinary than what is accustomed to Batman lore. A prison cell with a Bat key lock attached to it? What could it mean?
Several theories come to mind that aren't pretty, but it definitely means there's more to things than meets the eye, and possibly the introduction of a new Bat character as Snyder promised may also clue in eagle eyed readers.
Anyway you look at it, it's best left until February 12 to know what "Batman #28" has in store for us. For more info and theories to ponder on, visit the source post at Newsarama.

Marvel officially confirms Peter Parker's return in relaunched "The Amazing Spider-Man" series for Marvel NOW!
Well NOW it's pretty much official... Peter Parker is INDEED coming back this April in a new "The Amazing Spider-Man" ongoing, and following the leaked cover of a Marvel NOW! Previews issue for March-April earlier this week, the House of Ideas has officially announced via word from The New York Daily News that the one and only webslinger is returning this April for a brand new relaunched series, with Pete back in control of his body.
But the lingering questions are how did he return? And what happens to Doctor Octopus' reign as The Superior Spider-Man? Those legitimate concerns coming from the comic book world were addressed by none other than Spidey writer Dan Slott himself, who's going to pen the new ongoing and team up with fellow Spider-Man comic veteran and artist, Humberto Ramos.
Via Marvel.com, The New York Daily News and Comic Book Resources, Slott was interviewed and reflected on the fact that Peter was, for all intense and purposes "dead" during Ock's run as Spidey. He acknowledges that the big game changer he implemented a year ago was challenging.
"To do that for a solid year of my life, that’s the hardest thing I’ve had to do -- to look small children in the eye at a convention and lie to them. One of them with an honest-to-God Little League uniform and a quivering lip. Inside, part of me was dying.”
And despite the "Superior" change, now it's on the mill that Pete's comeback is inevitable, and it's not purely coincidental that it happens to fall around the same time that Marc Webb's Spider-Man film sequel, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", comes out in theaters this coming May.
"We did it this way because no one was expecting it. Everyone out there assumed we'd have a big reveal later. People thought we'd bring Peter back in a year's time -- or right before the next Spider-Man movie," Slott said of the ghostly Peter Parker shortly after the debut of "Superior Spider-Man" #1. "Everyone was so savvy with how this all works that I thought the best way to keep people off their game was to just put that card on the table right from the get go. You're all so sure it was coming -- Well? Here it is! But if you think that's all there is, get ready to be wrong."
So there you have it... Peter Parker is returning... But will it be something expected? We'll find out in the coming months ahead as we count down to the "end" of Superior Spider-Man... And The RETURN of The Amazing Spider-Man!

DC Comics: Sinestro gets his own New 52 ongoing this April
Those who've been steadily following Green Lantern and its comics during and after the Geoff Johns era may want to pay attention to the latest news from DC Comics, as a prominent face from the mythos is getting his own very own ongoing series come April, just around the time the big DC Comics New 52 event "Forever Evil" ends.
That's right... THAAL SINESTRO is coming back in his own ongoing comic book series, appropriately titled "Sinestro" and beginning this coming April. Written by Cullen Bunn and illustrated by Dale Eaglesham, the new book sees the former Green Lantern and Yellow Lantern in a hard and desperate setting, possibly reinforced by whatever happens in the conclusion of Forever Evil. After Geoff Johns run saw him lose everything he holds dear, Sinestro's only left with the one thing that's driven him since he began his mission: Fear. Joining him in the book will be his one time ally/ enemy Lyssa Drak, and one has to wonder where everything leads to in the entire setting of the Emotional Spectrum and DC Universe. For more information, visit the source post at Newsarama and DC's official Green Lantern Facebook page.

Marvel Movies: Ben Kingsley returns in "All Hail The King" & Quicksilver revealed for X-Men: DOFP
"You'll Never See Me Coming..."
And those words make a lot of sense for those who have been anxiously waiting on news on two fronts of the Marvel Movie film spectrum - That of the new one-shot film "All Hail The King" attached to the Blu-Ray release of Marvel Studios Thor: The Dark World, and the look of Evan Peters as Pietro Maximoff... aka Magneto's son and Mutant Speedster, Quicksilver!
Courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, we get our first details on what "All Hail The King" actually is, and while many thought it was a Thor Spin-Off featuring Tom Hiddleston as Loki, it actually follows the pattern many Marvel Studios films have done, which peaks at an episode related to the events of a previous film. Now it's continuing a thread that dangled on "Iron Man 3"... The whereabouts of Trevor Slattery, the British actor who portrayed the faux "Mandarin" and played by Sir Ben Kingsley!
"Ben Kingsley’s dim-witted Mandarin impersonator from Iron Man 3, who has been locked away in a maximum security prison and is reveling in his newfound infamy. (It’s as close to fame as he’s ever gotten.)"
Directed by Iron Man 3 screenplay writer Drew Pearce, here's what the man had to say:
"Imagine a real terrorist organization whose beliefs were long held and religious for thousands of years, and imagine a drunk, British actor coming along and essentially telling the world that he’s the face of your organization. I think they would be right to be quite angry."
And what exactly holds next for a fake terrorist inside a maximum security prison? Who knows? but it may build to the events for a succeeding Iron Man sequel if ever!
Meanwhile, a new image has popped up for Bryan Singer's return to directing the X-Men film franchise with this year's X-Men: Days of Future Past! Featuring Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine and Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy reprising their roles as the younger versions of Magneto and Professor X, this pic also happens to show for the very first time Evan Peters as Quicksilver! How he fits in this scene is still a mystery, but it could possibly be breaking his younger and future father out... And how is Xavier still walking after the events of X-Men: First Class? We can only wait until the film hits this May! For more information, visit the source post at Superherohype!
All Hail The King is packed along the Blu-Ray release of Thor: The Dark World, which hits on February 25!
X-Men: Days of Future Past unleashes itself on theaters on May 23, 2014!

Marvel unveils its Big Watcher Murder-Mystery Event of 2014 with "Original Sin"
Looks like one of Marvel's seemingly immortal figures will buy the big one this 2014... And it's up to the entire Marvel Universe to find out who killed him!
Via Marvel.com and USA Today, the new big event will be called "Original Sin", and deals with the death of a being known to many as "The Watcher". Written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by Mike Deodato Jr., this miniseries will see cosmic being and observer of realities known as Uatu The Watcher murdered on his home planet of the Moon, leading to Earth's heroes to find out who killed him and why. Led by none other than the original Nick Fury of Earth-616, heroes like Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and Wolverine search for the murderer, while a separate group consisting of The Punisher, Dr. Strange, Emma Frost, Black Panther, and Ant-Man. Tie-ins and supplementary issues are expected to begin alongside the core miniseries this coming May, but a "zero issue" featuring Nova and a re-introduction to Uatu will be released on April, written by Mark Waid and art by Jim Cheung.
With Uatu's death coming up, this will spell big ramifications on the Marvel Universe as we know it. After Infinity and Inhumanity, it's now a mystery that's itching to be solved and may lead to something even bigger down the line in the months ahead.
