The Adam West 1966 Batman series: awesome!

Lego: Awesome!

1966 Batman intro recreated in Lego: Double awesome!

Last weekend was the San Diego Comic Con which traditionally means lots of news regarding comics and animation.

Some of the good news was that 3 DC Universe animated features are in the works for 2012 namely Batman: The Dark Knight Returns based on Frank Miller’s classic work, Superman vs the Elite and the Justice League: Doom.

I’m especially looking forward to the Batman feature, because the Batman animated features have proven to be the best entries in the DC Universe movies. The others sound at least intriguing so I’m also curious for those.

Also, a  preview was shown for the new Green Lantern Animated Series. The style seems very similar to the Superman and Justice League animated series, but sadly rendered in CGI. Nevertheless, any DC animated series deserve a fair chance since they have a solid track record.

The next direct-to-DVD animated feature in the DC Universe is for another Batman flick, this time based on the classic Frank Miller comic story.

The first trailer has been released and animationwise it looks very promising – as can be expected from the DC Universe animated movies.

The DC animated universe is still pumping out new features, which is a good thing. And especially Batman is going to be busy.

Earlier it was announced that the Dark Knight would get the animated treatment. And now another Batman story arc, namely Batman: Year One, will also be made into an animated feature.

Can’t wait!

The Superman/Batman: Apocalypse feature was mediocre but the packaging looks nice. I got the 2-disc Special Edition Amazon exclusive which also had a mini litho.

The latest entry in the DC Universe direct-to-DVD animated movie stars Superman and Batman against super villain Darkseid this time while also introducing Supergirl.

The movie could’ve easily been called Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Supergirl because they all play a big role. But perhaps female superheroes don’t sell as well as their male counterparts and that’s why Wonder Woman and Supergirl are left out of the title.

The newest entry in the DC Universe animated features stars Batman again. So far the Batman features have been the better ones and Batman Under the Red Hood is no exception. Under the Red Hood focuses on the 2nd Robin in Batman’s history, namely Jason Todd.
