New Justice League Cartoon Looks Pretty Neat
There’s going to be a new Justice League cartoon, and I’m always on board for new and exciting cartoons. I’m not a kid anymore, sure, but so what? I like cartoons. You wanna fight about it?
Anyway, it looks funny, and the animation is really cool.
No sign of Robin, though, which is what we’re all concerned about.

The First Look at LEGO Movie Robin is Not Encouraging
Your favorite sidekick and mine will debut and star in the upcoming LEGO Batman Movie next February. Seeing as how I’m a huge Robin fan, I’m very excited. But knowing how Robin is typically treated in pop culture, I’m also very worried. These first pictures, revealed by USA Today, have me more worried than excited.
What’s with the eyes?
Sparkly cape? Big googly eyes? Probably pixie boots? Eh.
And the cape?
Robin will be voiced by Michael Cera, which is fine, I suppose. According to director Chris McKay, Robin starts out as an annoyance to Batman’s lone vigilante style. Batman accidentally adopts him during a charity auction. He describes the character thusly:
“Robin is a super-positive kid who always sees the glass as half full. Really, at the end of the day, he just wants a hug. Michael brings the sweetness and honesty.”
So I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. There should be a new trailer debuting at some point during Comic-Con!

The Honest Trailer of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice!
Honest Trailers delivers the long-awaited goods! Remember Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice? They do!
Good times. Good times. Oh, also, it came out on DVD today. So that’s something.

No Sign of Robin in Telltale Batman Game; Literally Unplayable
There’s going to be another Batman video game later this Summer, and it’s going to be made by the Telltale people, who specialize in point-and-click adventure stories. They’re the geniuses behind The Walking Dead game, so Batman is probably in good hands.
Unfortunately, there’s no sign of Robin in this game, so what’s even the point? Should I even bother playing? Maybe Clementine will cameo and it’ll all be worth it.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/16/16
It is a dark day in comics, my friends. But not in the way Marvel probably wants me to think. But I’m not sure I have any idea what Marvel is thinking anymore. I don’t know what drives them. Is it sales? Is it controversy? Is it headlines? Because it’s definitely not storytelling, not anymore.
Civil War II #3 kind of breaks me. But not due to the story or the art. Not even due to the power behind the twist. It breaks me in that I just don’t know why I should care anymore…
Fortunately, this wee also brings us an excellent new issue of Power Man and Iron Fist, and I’m reminded why I care again. Hooray Comic Book of the Week!
Don’t forget Wolverine!
Somebody at Marvel is doing something good. I’m gonna stick with that part of Marvel.
Comic Reviews: Civil War II #3, Detective Comics #936, Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy #2, Nightwing Rebirth #1, Power Man and Iron Fist #6, and Wonder Woman #2.
