Selling Out For Younger Audiences! BOO, DC Comics!
After almost 25 years of incredible Batman animated products, I guess this had to happen sometime. I get it: toys must be sold to 4-year-old boys, blah, blah, blah.
But, to be fair, it’s not the first time DC sold out–for no good reason.
A GREAT Eric Foner Book Excerpt On Harriet Tubman And The Underground Railroad……

Black Lightning, The Animated Shorts!
Just discovered these last night! Quite charming! Yay for the Black family, and good for DC!
Black Lighting here is the only version of him I don’t have in action-figure form–and I want!
Spidey Joins The MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)!
Okay, big news, but no real surprise here. Real wheeling-dealing!
(I feel bad for the “Amazing Spider-Man” folks, since I guess it means that it’s all over for them, their coming plotlines, sequels, spinoffs, etc. The other losers–for a while–are hardcore fans of “Black Panther,” which now has been moved to 2018. Really, all the movies have been moved back one slot.)
This means he can join the coming “Civil War” movie adaptation (where, in the comics, he unmasks) and basically be in everybody’s movie, like Black Widow.

And now we know the membership of TV’s Teen Titans.
WOW! But I guess it is time, after 50 years!
And, speaking of Marvel:
Okay, Marvel is going with Ultimate Fantastic Four. (After all, the movie Avengers is Ultimate Avengers, so…) I read it, and didn’t hate it. So we’ll see if I like it, even if it’s not my Fantastic Four.
Crossover?!? YES!!!! I’m still excited! Less than four months to go!
Lotta geek buzz for “Agent Carter!” I try to catch glimpses of it when I’m home.
Enjoyed seeing The Howling Commandos!
FEBRUARY 8th UPDATE:
Diggle as the John Stewart Green Lantern one day?!? It’s one of those ideas that I hate on paper, but I admit I wanna see it! LOL!
