Billy Dee Williams’ Two-Face to Live On in LEGO Form!
I just discovered this fun little Easter Egg from the upcoming LEGO Batman Movie in a gallery of Batman LEGO images from New York Comic-Con and I thought I’d share: Apparently, the Two-Face character in The LEGO Batman Movie might be a Billy Dee Williams version! How else do you explain this very obvious looking LEGO figurine?
Just look at that Billy Dee Williams mustache!
It’s not mentioned on Williams’ IMDB page, and I haven’t really been able to find anything through Google, other than some other people wondering the same thing. But just look at that mini-fig and tell me that’s not Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent!
As we all know, Williams played Harvey Dent in the 1989 Batman movie, with plans to eventually turn him into Two-Face. But by the time Hollywood got around to including Two-Face in the franchise, they switched out Williams for Tommy Lee Jones! Williams was robbed! I don’t think we’ve ever seen a black Two-Face. And this race change would have been decades ahead of its time!
Leave it to the people behind the LEGO movies to come up with the ultimate Easter Egg.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/17/16
Brace yourselves, people, this week is a wild one. What will be the fate of Tim Drake? Dare we keep reading and find out? Robin is one of my all-time favorite comic book characters, and Tim Drake is my favorite Robin. Can I even stand to read the new issue of Detective Comics?
You’re gosh darn right I am! It wins Comic Book of the Week for a blowout issue, but you’re going to have to keep reading to find out why.
That’s right, Tim, drop the word ‘Red’
This week also saw a large release of a lot of non-Big Two comics that I’m reading. So even though DC Comics had a few other treats this week, I’ve decided to forgo them all and focus on some indie darlings like Faith and Kaijumax! This week’s reviews feature four different publishers!
Comic Reviews: Detective Comics #940, Faith #3, Kaijumax #4, Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy #4, and Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers — Pink #3.
The Star of PeeWee’s Big Holiday Has Been Cast as Deathstroke the Terminator!
The breakout character in PeeWee’s Big Holiday was, without a doubt, Joe Manganiello, played by actor Joe Manganiello. He was just fantastic! And I have some good news for everybody: he’s now also been cast as Deathstroke the Terminator in the DC Cinematic Universe. Most likely, he’s going to face off against Batman in the upcoming solo Batman movie.
It’s a little outside his comedy range, but I think this guy can pull it off.
Gonna need more orange
Will he be as good as when he played Joe Manganiello? I guess we’ll see. He’s also got to live up to the great Deathstroke in Arrow. At the very least, here’s a Batman villain who can actually fight Batman. That should be fun.

Weird Trailers Could Be a Thing!
So apparently this guy Aldo Jones takes movie trailers and Photoshops the heck out of them! Or whatever the program is that allows him to completely alter video and add wackiness. You tell me. But here’s Jones taking a hilarious crack at the Justice League trailer.
That altered trailer is sufficiently wacky. And he’s got a whole bunch of Weird Trailers to enjoy and waste the day with! Sounds good to me.

Speaking of Batman Movies…
I haven’t seen Batman: The Killing Joke yet, and I don’t think I will. I haven’t been a fan of the DC animated movies for awhile now, and this one just sounds terrible. Thankfully, Honest Trailers sums it up for me nicely.
Honestly, I don’t even know if I’ve read The Killing Joke comic…
