Here’s a Fancy Look At That Upcoming Batman Movie
DC FanDome starts tomorrow and there have been a couple of teasers flying across the internet already. The one I feel like sharing is this first look at some of the iconography for the upcoming The Batman movie. Director Matt Reeves shared these yesterday.
First up is the official logo and Bat Symbol.
Even fancier is this drawing from Jim Lee that shows off the upcoming Batsuit for Robert Pattinson.
Here’s hoping we get some kind of teaser trailer for The Batman at FanDome. I don’t know what to expect, but I’ll be eager to see DC show off all the stuff they have.

6 Things I Want from Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad Game (Before We Know Anything About It)
We recently got the first visual confirmation that the video game studio Rocksteady is making a Suicide Squad video game. The geniuses who brought us the Arkhamverse trilogy will be tackling a new DC Comics crew and I am very excited.
The thing is, all we know about the game is this single teaser image. Looks like they’re targeting Superman? Who can say for sure.
The point is, having nothing but a single teaser image is not going to stop me from speculating. Even if I only have to wait until this weekend for DC FanDome to actually reveal and explain the game, I’m gonna waste everybody’s time by speculating on things I want to see in the game right now. I don’t see why not. It’s the middle of August. The heat and humidity are terrible. The pandemic shows no signs of slowing down. Life is hell. Patience does not exist. I think it’s perfectly fine to spend my time day dreaming about a new video game from the studio that brought us the Arkham trilogy.
So join me after the jump for all the things I want to see in the Rocksteady Suicide Game, reduced to six entries. And come back after DC FanDome for a new list that will be based on everything we do learn about the game. Maybe some of the ones on this list will prove correct!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/15/20
We’re back! Back again! More comic reviews! Because why not? It’s a mild day in the middle of August and we’ve only got a couple of comics to review this week, mostly X-Men books.
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Green Lantern: Season Two # 6 because it’s a fun comic and I wanted to shake things up a bit this week.
Meanwhile, I’ve decided to read the entirety of Robert Kirkman’s Invincible. The compendiums are at a price I can afford on Amazon and my birthday is coming up. So I’ll let you know how it all goes in a year or so!
Speaking of letting you know how things are, I also read the second volume of Green Lantern: Earth One this week and it was pretty fun! On par with the first volume. It’s a quality GL re-imagining.
Comic Reviews: Empyre: X-Men #3, The Green Lantern: Season Two #6 and Marauders #11.

The 6 Snappiest Shark Superheroes
I think this list is what we all need right now. Just something silly to take our minds off the horrible ravages that have destroyed the world. So how about a list of all the comic book characters who base themselves off of sharks? Everybody is afraid of sharks! Heck, I think it’s even Shark Week on the Discovery Channel.
Animal-themed superheroes are at the very heart of comics. Batman and Spider-Man are just dudes patterned after specific animals. And there are plenty more such characters…yet not as many as you would think, especially for some of the more popular or scary critters in the world. I’ve looked at lions, dogs, pigs, frogs, birds and reptiles, and now we’re going to do sharks!
Join me after the jump for the wildest shark-based comic book characters!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/8/20
I’ve had something of a crap week. Had a foible at work. The Fall Guys servers are failing left and right. The final episode of A Crown of Candy on Dimension 20 was merely fine. At least there’s some good comics to be had, like Far Sector, Strange Adventures and…
Empyre: X-Men #2 wins Comic Book of the Week, and not just because it features Multiple Man. I really am enjoying this helter skelter comic as it takes full advantage of everything Dawn of X has to offer.
Meanwhile, I can’t bring myself to keep reading the main Empyre series, so I’ve dropped it. Maybe I’ll read it and just not review it? I don’t know and I don’t care. In better news, I watched the first episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks and it was hilarious! That will be a fun new show to have. Umbrella Academy season two was great! Such a fun show. And I’ve started reading an honest to god book again! Axiom’s End by Lindsay Ellis. Fun so far!
Comic Reviews: Batman #96, Empyre: X-Men #2, Far Sector #7 and Strange Adventures #4.
