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.

Here’s Some Star Wars Stuff to Enjoy
Did you hear they’re making another Star Wars?
So the big Star Wars Celebration event went down in England over the weekend, with all manner of cool news from the new season of Rebels and the upcoming film, Rogue One. Obviously, I didn’t attend, but the Internet is always on the up and up about this sort of thing. We can enjoy the fruits of Celebration without having to actually go!
For example, here’s the new trailer for Star Wars: Rebels season 3! It’s a fine show. Nothing spectacular. Though I did enjoy the season 2 finale.
And while they haven’t released the new trailer for Rogue One just yet, here’s a nifty behind the scenes semi-trailer they put out.
Looks like a quality adventure! Here’s hoping Star Wars continues to be awesome and enjoyable in the years ahead.

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.
Movie Review: Ghostbusters
I ain’t afraid of no classic movie remake starring an all-female cast! Despite the legions of angry Internet trolls crying out against this movie, I have had zero qualms about seeing the new Ghostbusters and taking it at face value. I was a huge fan of both original movies, and an even bigger fan of The Real Ghostbusters cartoon series (and toys!), but I wasn’t someone chomping at the bit for a Ghostbusters 3 or anything of the like.
Still, someone went and made this new movie, I was happy to go see it, and I really enjoyed myself.
Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good.
The new Ghostbusters is a fun and quite funny movie. A lot of the jokes are pretty great, though there are always some duds. The main characters are all outstanding, with a great camaraderie and team style. Once the action starts to kick in, I think the movie goes a little bit too far off the rails for my tastes, but it’s still overall enjoyable. I’ve got some individual nitpicks here and there, but I’ll get to them later.
The main thing to know about the new Ghostbusters is that it trades in the original film’s down-to-Earth realism for a more cartoony, action-focused style. Not to say it’s a cartoon come to life, but this movie can get pretty silly. Personally, the realism is what makes the original Ghostbusters such a classic, on a number of different levels. So I was a little disappointed that this new movie went for the cray cray vibe. But it worked in its own way, and that’s good enough.
Also, I may get tarred and feathered for saying this, but Bill Murray was the worst part of this movie.
Join me after the jump for the full review! There will be FULL SPOILERS.
