San Diego Comicon has come and gone once again!

And like years past, there has been a bevy of news and information expunged into the internet from this once-small convention. Movies, TV, Video Games and even a few Comics were at the centre of this year’s Con, and we run down all the headlines you need to know!

Plus, Alan Moore, the Mad Genius of Comics has refused a DC Comics offer that would return the Watchmen rights to the bearded scribe. What? Why’d he do that? We know…

And everyone likes the Babes, but do the belong at Comicon? Some say no, we say “you’re dumb.”

All that and The Forecast, Questy’s Rant Farm, and so much more!!

 
 
 

Bite His Shiny, Metal, Psychotic Butt!!

Batman: Under The Red Hood is available today with a brand new Joker!!

Known to adults as “Bender” in Futurama and tweens as “Dr. Drakken” in Kim Possible, John DiMaggio takes an iconic step forward as the voice of The Joker, the pivotal villain in the all-new DC Universe animated original movie, Batman: Under the Red Hood.

In the film, Batman faces his ultimate challenge as the mysterious Red Hood takes Gotham City by firestorm. One part vigilante, one part criminal kingpin, Red Hood begins cleaning up Gotham with the efficiency of Batman, but without following the same ethical code. And when The Joker falls in the balance between the two forces of justice, hard truths are revealed and old wounds are reopened.

DiMaggio gets free reign to play the iconic villain amidst a stellar voice cast that includes Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek) as the Caped Crusader, Supernatural star Jensen Ackles as Red Hood, and Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) as Nightwing.

The Constellations, Featuring: Us!

Hello All!

I’m currently preparing for yet another whirlwind trip to the city known as Toronto. This one is kind of neat though. A few months back, myself and my Watchtower co-host were asked to be presenters at this year’s Constellation Awards. They are the Canadian Sci-Fi awards, and are part of this weekend’s Polaris Convention.

Normally, the thought of spending 5 hours in the car cruising down the boring stretch of nothing we call The 401 would not be something I was looking forward to. This time though, since I’m going to be doing something pretty cool, and experiencing a whole new kind of Convention, I’m a little excited. It’s no San Diego Comicon, but it’ll do. If you happen to be at Polaris or The Constellations, do say hello won’t you?
