Finally after five years Young Justice season 3 is on its way! Young Justice: Outsiders is set to air on the DC Universe Streaming Service in 2019.
New faces, old faces, Young Justice: Outsiders is expected to be a blast. It was also noted that being on a streaming service has allowed the show to stray into a more adult setting; which suits the main demographic of Young Justice viewers.
Are you ready to finally get some closure on season 2 events? Yes, me too!

Um...well, yeah, there you go ladies and gentleman, DC's Titans. Are you excited? Yeah, me neither.
This could not have been a worse idea for DC and Warner Bros. whom have already been under fire for their products being too dark to commit too.
First, Robin there is supposed to be Dick Grayson, instead he acts like Jason Todd (also rumored to appear at some point in the series). Dick wasn't a killer.
Raven is too open about sharing her feelings, Starfire looks like a hooker that ignites all over, and Beast Boy, well Beast Boy is green and that's pretty much all we know. Pretty sure we've all seen better looking cosplayers at any given comic convention.
Have seen many questioning if this trailer was even real, because there are better fan made trailers out there. Honestly, I felt like I was watching a trailer for another Kick@$$ film.
Not expecting Titans to go further than a single season.
Titans airs sometime this Fall, exclusively on the DC Universe Streaming Service.

The first trailer for DC's Justice League has landed! Trailer features Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg; with appearances by Lois Lane, Alfred, Mera, and others.
Of course the most notable character missing is Superman, but hey he's supposed to be dead right? Yeah, don't worry he'll show up to save the day...sorry, night.
You can look for DC's Justice League to hit theaters November 2017.

Honestly guys we still haven't seen the newest Superman film, and seeing this trailer, isn't getting us to play catch up anytime soon.

Honestly we're only excited for this movie because we finally get to see Harley Quinn on the big screen (that and the action figure they'll be releasing for her).
Still not overly impressed with the look of Jared Leto's Joker either.

Cartoon Network has announced that DC Comics' Beware The Batman has been placed on hiatus until January 2014. For fans of other DC shows like Green Lantern and Young Justice they know all to well what that means, Batman your time is done.
Beware The Batman will indeed air in January, but after it's remaining season's episodes air, the show will inevitably be done, cancelled like many other DC shows.
But the question now is why has this happened to Beware The Batman? It's Batman, how can fans not love this show enough for Cartoon Network to keep producing it? Well let's look at some of the reasons...
The one bright side for Beware The Batman was the change in Alfred; not just being a mere butler but a butler with a military background and still having the physique to put that background to good use.
With yet another DC show biting the big one it's time to start pondering if the relationship between DC and Cartoon Network isn't beginning to show signs of deteriorating.
What do you guys think is it possible that Beware The Batman can be saved? Will you even miss this show once it's gone?

Here's this week's haul.
Also picked this up for a coworker's grandson.

Overheard these kids talking today while out getting dinner; their topic of discussion, the simple way to tell that Power Girl was created by DC Comics and not Marvel.
First it was pointed out that it has nothing to do with her overly large breast, nor the skimpy costume she wears, because that's a trait of both companies when it comes to their female characters (can't argue that).
No what it comes down to is as one kid said "quite simple", for if Marvel created Power Girl her breasts would not only be large, but her nipples would fire lasers, and apparently DC wouldn't disrespect a woman to that level.
You know this is kinda deep stuff from a couple of twelve year old kids.
But what do you guys think, would Marvel have given Power Girl laser firing nipples or could DC make this part of her next redesign?

So here's the problem I have with DC Comics' not even started Justice League film...
Obviously with Man of Steel just being released, a sequel already planned, and Justice League to follow that, it only makes since that Henry Cavill will be reprising the role of Superman, and this is where things go wrong. This Superman is not the usual goody-two-shoe boyscout we all grew up with in the comics, no this version is darker, willing to kill, and not too worried about collateral damage.
Green Arrow
It makes sense to have Green Arrow appear in a Justice League film, especially when you know the character has been well received on the small screen with the hit series Arrow, and Stephen Amell (the guy currently under the green hood) has already said he wants in. Personally would love to see this Green Arrow move from small screen to big, except that this archer is darker than his usual self and has no problem killing even when it could have been avoided.
Batman
Batman has always been a darker character than the other Justice League members, though he doesn't kill unnecessarily, and would rather work alone than with a team.
Currently we don't have a Batman actor since Christian Bale said he's through playing the Caped Crusader, but we also don't have a Flash, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, or Cyborg, all of whom could be included in a Justice League film as well. But if you look at the three ready to appear characters, you can easily see that there isn't really a balance amongst them, they're really just the same character in a different outfit, and that's a problem.
Unfortunately that either means they have to forgo adding Green Arrow (or at least Amell's Arrow), or rewrite a character, which at this point would be be a very dangerous maneuver in of its self.
So the question now is how does DC resolve this problem, due they even see this as a problem? Or do we just go ahead and create darker versions of Flash, Wonder Woman, and the rest of the League and just go the route already started?

Heavy rain kept most people away and there just weren't any new comics that I actually wanted this week :(
So without further delay here's what was picked up from the free bin this week...

Went to a bookstore called Book Warehouse this weekend where they were doing a sale of overstock books from a sister store that just closed. The deal was you fill a box with as many as you can and only pay $10. Between my brother, mother, and I we managed 34 books; here are my 13...
Won't lie I was super excited to score the John Scalzi and Timothy Zahn books, now though, my only problem is which book to start reading?
