Batman: The Telltale Series gets a sequel in "Batman: The Enemy Within" this August


Announced by Telltale Games just before San Diego Comic Con weekend and certainly bringing fans of the Caped Crusader up in arms in excitement, the critically acclaimed video game publisher's take on Batman with last year's "Batman: The Telltale Series" is officially getting a sequel that will start next month with "Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series" - a new season that sees The Dark Knight in a new adventure where he will not only face The Joker once again, but also The return of The Riddler.



Reported by Batman-News, The Enemy Within is certainly a good surprise and deserving sequel for Telltale's Batman series. As with all the point and click adventure games the publisher makes, the choices you make as Bruce Wayne or his alter ego will determine the outcome of your story - and every path leads to different outcomes when all is said and done.

Batman v Superman: BTS photo of "First Batman Pic" & Batcave featurette released


With the "Ultimate Edition" of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice out, making waves, and showing the real vision director Zack Snyder originally had for his DC Films follow-up to "Man of Steel", there's been plenty of news and stuff related to the film again since its theatrical release in March. Most of the ones now concern a certain "Caped Crusader" that was played successfully by actor/ director Ben Affleck in The Batman, and there's some news related to this hardened version of The Dark Knight that fans who have followed since the beginning will enjoy.

Via Batman-News and tweeted by photographer Clay Enos, here's a look at the shot behind the FIRST teaser shot of Ben Affleck in FULL Batman costume, which was originally released on May 13, 2014!

Batman v Superman: Battle-Damaged Armored Batman pic & Battle TV Spot online


In what is certainly another way to "shake things up" and turn up the excitement for the movie that's already apparent worldwide, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment have released new promotional material for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", one featuring a look at a Battle-Damaged Armored Batman and a "Battle" TV Spot that showcases more scenes from the upcoming superhero slugfest film.

In the new pic above (c/o Comedy Central and Batman-News), Ben Affleck's Batman is battle-damaged with his armor broken... But is putting his best foot forward and standing seemingly triumphant over Superman. The scene is a tribute of course to the final showdown of Batman and Superman in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns"... But how it plays out in BvS is anyone's guess.

Meanwhile, the new TV Spot showcases more scenes of Batman ready to confront Superman in battle.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters on March 25.

Batman: Arkham Knight: Red Hood revealed as Gamestop Exclusive


Batman Day is pretty much here, and fans eager to celebrate 75 years and all things about the Caped Crusader are treated to some boombastic news for one of the most anticipated games featuring the Dark Knight and made by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, DC Entertainment, and Rocksteady Studios - that being Batman: Arkham Knight!

Via a report Batman-News.com, a reader by the name of "El Murcielago" sent in what appears to be a new banner ad that not only promotes the game's release and the Harley Quinn story pack... but a newly added Gamestop exclusice story pack that spotlights the Red Hood, aka Jason Todd the second Robin. True to Rocksteady's take on the Batman universe with the Arkham games, Jason gets a redesign for his costume, and this time the "Red Hood" is not a helmet but a literal jacket hood, and his portrait is sort of a homage to Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed games with the way he poses.

Also, could the Red Hood's presence in the game signify that he is the mysterious Arkham Knight? We'll find out more down the line I suppose, and maybe via this week's SDCC. For more information, visit the source post at Batman-news.

Batman: Arkham Knight is slated for release for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC sometime in 2015!

Rumor: Ben Affleck's Batsuit for "Batman Vs Superman" and Gal Gadot as "Wonder Woman" reportedly debuting next week


Since the official casting announcement last year led many to have various mixed reactions, a lot of people have been anxiously waiting to see the first official photo of actor/ director Ben Affleck donning the cape and cowl and suiting up as Batman for Zack Snyder's upcoming sequel to his Superman reboot flick "Man of Steel", which hasn't been officially titled and is still going under the common alias of "Batman Vs Superman". Opposite Henry Cavill's Clark Kent/ Superman, Affleck will play Bruce Wayne/ Batman, and the characterization is said to be a Bats in his 40's and bearing a similar role to that of an older Dark Knight in Frank Miller's seminal classic Batman story - Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Despite the mixed reactions, Affleck's friends and fellow stars Kevin Smith, Matt Damon, and even wife Jennifer Garner have seen him in the suit, and gave nothing but positive remarks for it.


Let's not forget that also joining the Man of Steel and Caped Crusader is Fast and the Furious franchise star Gal Gadot, who was before the end of 2013 as Wonder Woman. She, along with Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth round up the big line of characters appearing in this mega sequel, so patience should be a virtue.


Hoever, excitement is building over word that the very first photo of Affleck as Batman and Gadot as Wonder Woman may appear before the end of February, as the delay from 2015 to 2016 for "Bats Vs Supes" has pushed production to a longer filming schedule. The news comes from Mark Hughes, a Forbes Blogger who tweeted the following:

Since it can only be taken as a rumor, we'll just have to wait and see if this indeed pushes through and we get our first clear looks at the new Dark Knight and Amazon Princess for the potential DC Cinematic Universe Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment are planning! For more information, visit the source post at Batman-News.

"Batman Vs Superman" is now slated for a May 6, 2016 release

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.

Batman Vs Superman: Possible movie names pop up with registered domain names


Looks like fans speculating on the "real" title for the yet unnamed "Batman Vs Superman" film for 2015 will have some guesses coming up, as a report from Fusible, Superherohype, and Batman-News reports that Warner Bros. has registered

Here's the lowdown:

There’s been a lot of debate over the official title of the upcoming Batman vs. Superman film scheduled to be released in 2015. This week, Warner Bros. secretly registered a host of possible titles through the internet brand protection company MarkMonitor. Now, it’s likely the debate is going to get more opinions. According to the latest domain registrations, possible titles include “Man of Steel Battle the Knight”, “Man of Steel Beyond Darkness”, “Man of Steel Black of Knight”, “Man of Steel Darkness Falls”, “Man of Steel Knight Falls”, “Man of Steel Shadow of the Night”, “Man of Steel The Blackest Hour”, and “Man of Steel The Darknness Within”

So how do you like the sound of "Man of Steel: Knight Falls" or "Man of Steel: The Darkness Within"? Doesn't sound too much like a real name to clinch on the epic battle and first meeting between these two iconic DC Comics Heroes, but it could be a tie-in instead, like a video game or promotion. In fact, the recently released Batman: Arkham Origins had a similar beginning in domain name registrations for its name along with other speculations months back, so let's wait and see what the official title is in the future. For more information, visit the source post at Fusible, SHH, and Batman-News.

"Batman Vs Superman", the sequel to Man Of Steel directed by Zack Snyder and starring Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck, comes out on July 17, 2015.

Batman: TDK Trilogy Audtions clips/ pics, Fox's Gotham TV Series, and Arkham Origins "Knightfall" pack trailer


Batman's always around when you need him, and there's plenty of news related to the Dark Knight that's both exciting and much anticipated for fans of the DC Comics superhero and character. Despite not getting a new film appearance until Ben Affleck suits up for the yet untitled "Batman Vs Superman" movie, there's tons of new stuff to expect related to the Caped Crusader or his world - including more new audition screenshots from the newly released "The Dark Knight Trilogy: Ultimate Collector's Edition", A new upcoming "Gotham" TV Series focusing on a young James Gordon, and finally some PS3 exclusive "Knightfall" content from the upcoming video game "Batman: Arkham Origins".

Batman Vs Superman: Josh Brolin WAS in talks to play Batman/ Bruce Wayne before Ben Affleck

Even if we have a new Batman in the form of actor/ director Ben Affleck for the upcoming "Batman Vs Superman" movie for 2015, there was a time when anyone could have been Batman, and rumors suggested that one of the prime candidates was MIB 3 and Jonah Hex actor, Josh Brolin.


Despite what this nice fan art that's circulating the web may show, it didn't come to pass. Yet the man himself has officially confirmed via The Huffington Post (c/o Batman-News) that he WAS in consideration/ talks to possibly take the role, which would have been opposite Henry Cavill's Superman.

In the interview, Josh confirms he was considered by director Zack Snyder and Warner Bros, but just that.

"We did. I didn't have any conversations about it, but Zack, that was part of his idea. It just didn't turn out. It's OK. It is OK. You know, another scenario might have worked better, but I'm happy for Ben."

And there you have it. While Brolin didn't get the part, he certainly would have been a good choice following his acting chops in several films as of late. He did get to play a DC Comics character in the form of Jonah Hex at least (despite bad reviews for that film), and he'll be taking up the lead in Spike Lee's remake of the South Korean thriller film "Oldboy", which comes out this November. For more on the story, visit the source posts at Batman-News and The Huffington Post.

Kevin Conroy to appear in "New Arkham Game", not Batman: Arkham Origins

Looks like confusion came through earlier for the big news that was "Batman: Arkham Origins", and now we have confirmation from "The Voice of Batman" himself, Kevin Conroy, that puts matters to rest.


After it was announced that Roger Craig Smith and Troy Baker would be playing the roles of Batman and The Joker respectively in Arkham Origins, fans were wondering what role Conroy would be playing in the prequel. Turns out that he was referring to ANOTHER ARKHAM GAME during his presscon at this year's Dallas Comic Con, and it's something that hasn't been officially announced yet. He announced it in his official Twitter page, but that post has since been deleted.


For more insight on the matter, visit the source post at Batman-News. If you haven't seen the trailer or read the new details on Arkham Origins, click on the links to do so.

Batman: Arkham Origins will be released on October 25.

Batman: Arkham Origins: New screenshots, info, and The Joker returns (or appears for the first time)!


Following up on the impressive 5 minute long debut trailer, WB Games and WB Games Montreal have released a couple of new screenshots for their upcoming new prequel in the Batman Arkham video game series - Batman: Arkham Origins! Highlighting these of course is the very first look at The Joker, as he appears in the game!

Of course, the last time people saw The Clown Prince of Crime was at the 2011 video game smash hit Batman: Arkham City, where the character apparently met his demise after a final titanic battle with the Caped Crusader. His appearance in Arkham Origins isn't surprising given it's a prequel, but he'll be voiced by a different man - namely Troy Baker, since the "Voice of Joker" from Batman: The Animated Series and the previous two Arkham Games, legendary Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, has stated that he isn't returning for the role. It's also been confirmed that Kevin Conroy won't be voicing Batman... Rather it'll be Roger Craig Smith of Sonic The Hedgehog and Assassin's Creed Ezio Auditore fame. Instead, Conroy will be back for a mysterious role... Which we'll find out sooner what it is or later.



In the meantime, check out more worth screenshots via Batman-News, and that AWESOME trailer if you haven't yet!

Batman: Arkham Origins is slated for release in the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii U on October 25th!

Batman: Arkham Origins: Kevin Conroy won't be returning to voice Batman


It's certainly not the best news to hear as April 2013 ends, and it's literally a game changer in every sense of the word.


Via word from Batman-News and Arkhamverse, a story from this month's issue of South African gaming magazine NAG reports that legendary Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy won't be returning to play the Caped Crusader in this year's upcoming Batman prequel game, Batman: Arkham Origins.



The new studio and developer of the game, WB Games Montreal, explains that they want to tap a younger voice actor for the role, since Arkham Origins focuses on a younger and more inexperienced Batman who has to evade and battle eight deadly assassins sent to kill him on Christmas Eve.

With Conroy last playing the role of Batman in this month's DC Universe brawler Injustice: Gods Among Us, it's truly sad news to hear. After all, he's the longest actor to play Batman, voicing the role for over 20 years since Batman: The Animated Series! It's certainly the biggest change after fellow DC Animated Universe alum Mark Hamill's retired from playing The Joker after Batman: Arkham City. With Rocksteady Studios not developing this game at all and Batman writer Paul Dini not writing the story, it all truly makes Arkham Origins a new game and experience in itself. For more information on the story, visit the source post at Batman-News, NAG, and Arkhamverse!

Batman: Arkham Origins hits PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U on October 25th.

Justice League film experiences setback, May not get Nolan or Bale; R.I.P Carmine Infantino


Looks like the wheels are turning down for the potential return of Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale, as Batman-News has reported that the director of The Dark Knight Trilogy and the Batman actor himself may not likely return to work on "Justice League". This marks a sign of setbacks for the big superhero team up flick featuring DC Comics popular roster of heroes, and how Warner Bros. will approach things after and however "Man Of Steel" performs when its released this June.
