Something retro and nostalgic getting a modernized Filipino adaptation welcomes in 2020 in style!

Teased in December as a project that would bring back one of the most iconic Japanese Super Robots Philippine audiences fell in love with since the late 70's, GMA 7/ GMA Network finally pulled the curtain in New Year's Day to reveal that they are making a live-action adaptation of Toei Animation's 1977 classic anime series "Chodenji Machine Voltes V", or simply known as "Voltes V" to fans.

The Live-Action series, called "Voltes V Legacy", debuted with an Ultra-Magnetic one minute teaser - showcasing the familiar clash between Earth and the Bozanian forces, as well as a CGI makeover for Voltes V as he takes on a Bozanian Beast Fighter.

Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trailer

Announced sometime last year and finally coming to fruition, the newest series' incarnation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is almost upon us. With that, Nickelodeon has released a new trailer to promote their upcoming new show based on the 80's Heroes-In-A-Half-Shell franchise. However, does it remain consistent with the original show's roots, or does it take a new spin at things? Find out in the trailer below!

A different take indeed with the interesting CGI animation work and "Booyakasha!" joke. Thankfully  it seems to retain the same formula and basic origins as before, and no Michael Bay treatment to be found here either thank goodness (and that one got shelved recently). Be sure to stay tuned and vigilant for more updates as they come.
Coinciding with the release of new merchandise, the new TMNT Nickelodeon series is due for release this fall 2012.

"Beware the Batman" animated series debuts on 2013

Announced by Warner Bros. during the MIP Junior Market Convention in Cannes, France on Sunday and reported by sites Comic Book Movie and Superherohype, it appears that a new Batman animated series is in the works by Warner Bros. Animation, but will be done in CGI like that of the upcoming Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

Titled "Beware The Batman", Warner Bros. executive vice president for creative affairs Sam Register confirmed that the new series will debut sometime in 2013, and will feature "a classic looking Batman teaming up with a gun-totting Alfred Pennyworth and a female sidekick ninja named Katana (who may be THE SAME Katana from Batman's own team creation, The Outsiders).


Executive-produced by legendary and longtime Batman: The Animated Series collaborator Glen Murakami, Beware The Batman will explore the more obscure villains of the Bat-mythology, featuring the likes of Professor Pyg in his rogues gallery. However, that's not to say that classic villains like The Joker or Penguin won't be making any appearances either. Also, despite the fact that Batman will team up with a young female-sidekick named Katana, that doesn't mean she will be a replacement for Robin.

At this point, I don't know what to feel about a CGI Batman cartoon series, but it's too early to say, and no other noteworthy info about the series was given other than the announcement and year it will be released.

Beware The Batman is slated for release sometime in 2013!
