This week, Robin the Boy Wonder appears on the Cartoon Network Batman: the Brave and the Bold series. Batman and Robin team up again, but it’s not like it always was–there was a reason Robin left to go work on his own. As Crazy Quilt comes after Robin for revenge, all the dirty laundry comes out between the dynamic duo! More after the Jump!
Reaper is a great show. A really great show. If you aren’t watching Reaper, you’re missing out on the next best thing to a series that is turning into the next Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There are obviously a lot of people not watching the show, as the CW series continues to go into the toilet. This would certainly spell the end of the series, had ABC Studios not thought otherwise. Sources said show producer ABC Studios is in talks with CW affiliate stations about continuing “Reaper” as a syndicated series for Sunday night. So when the network recently decided…
Booster Gold makes an appearance on Batman: The Brave and the Bold airing this week on the Cartoon Network. Now if there could only be a flashback story featuring Booster and Ted Kord, that would rock. More after the jump.
Did anyone pay really close attention to the set during last night’s “Big Bang Theory” of scenes set in the comic book shop? Obviously a lot of DC stuff is going to be around (CBS and Time/Warner have a lot of deals together), but last night there were a plethora of Dark Horse and Image comic properties around the set. What about Marvel? From what I could tell, there was nary a scrap. Is there a conspiracy afoot? Is someone not playing ball? Did someone fail to slip the money under the table? Discuss.
Fox has renewed Fringe for another 22-episode season. Interestingly, it is the number one new show among the demographic the show is targeted toward. “‘Fringe’ proved to be a notable addition to our schedule all season, and it really has fans buzzing as it builds to a fantastic season finale,” said Kevin Reilly, president of entertainment at Fox. “J.J. and the whole Bad Robot team have been phenomenal partners, and we look forward to years of making great television with them.” It was a slow burn getting into the show, and there were a couple of weeks early on, where…
No, it’s not the Platinum Studios title that is finally made, but rather James Marsters donning the cowboy gear and attempting to kick some alien butt. James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Cindy Sampson (Supernatural) star in this action-packed World Premiere thriller from RHI Entertainment, a small town in the untamed West comes under attack by a full-scale alien invasion. No one invited them, but nothing can stop them! All the goodness arrives June 1, 2009. More after the jump.
I grew up during the 70’s and 80’s during the whole controversy surrounding children’s programing geared toward selling toys to the viewer. So imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to discover Hasbro is teaming with Discovery Communications to form a new television network. Both the network and the venture’s online component will feature content from Hasbro’s rich portfolio of entertainment and educational properties built over the past 90 years, including original programming for animation, game shows, and live-action series and specials. New programming will be based on brands such as ROMPER ROOM, TRIVIAL PURSUIT, SCRABBLE, CRANIUM, MY…
Greg Beeman, the producer/director of the Heroes television series on NBC has been given his walking papers. Beeman doesn’t seem too upset over the announcement. You see, I will not be returning to HEROES for Season 4. Ultimately this was a financially motivated decision made by NBC. They no longer want to have a Producer/Director position on the show. But it coincides well with my own innate wanderlust, and so, while sad to leave so many friends and comrades, I am excited for the future. The good news is, he will be continuing his Beeman’s blog with all of his…
I’m digging the Huntress vibe Lois Lane is giving off in tonight’s episode of Smallville – but come on, Stiletto?
Batman: The Brave and the Bold has new episodes returning to the Cartoon Network on May 1st. In this episode, Blue Beetle develops a crush on the slightly older and far-more-dangerous femme fatale Huntress, but there is little time for love with Baby Face busting his gang out of prison for a major heist! Watch the crowd closely during the jailbreak sequence to see some of your favorite villains including Pharaoh, Skeleton Keyes, Polecat Perkins and more! One more sneak peek after the jump!
Nicktoon Network has sent Major Spoilers a press kit for the upcoming Iron Man: Armored Adventures series that premieres Friday, April 24, 2009 on the Nicktoons Network. Take the jump for more images from the two-part premiere, and look for our complete review of the episodes next week. I can tell you now, from the parts I’ve seen, this is a series that does not follow the movie timeline.
So… uh… the kids over at the SciFi (SyFy) Wire have released a sneak peek at the costume design for the channel’s update to the classic comic strip character The Phantom. The Phantom stars Ryan Carnes (Desperate Housewives, Doctor Who) as the title hero and as his alter ego, Chris Walker, in this re-imagined version of the classic comic strip, which has been updated to the present day. Well there’s purple in the costume, but it reminds me a lot more of the costume design seen in Smallville than a classic hero from 1936.
Two words – Laura. Vandervoort. the Sci Fi (or Syfy depending if you want to buy into the new name or not) has announced the Smallville star will take a leading role in the cable network’s production of Riverworld, while Ryan Carnes of Desperate Housewives fame has been cast as the Phantom. Also joining the Riverworld cast are Tahmoh Penikett, Alan Cumming, Jeananne Goossen, and Mark Deklin. Guest starring in The Phantom will be Isabella Rosselini, Cameron Goodman and Sandrine Holt. Both movies will be four hours in length and will air next year. Yes, Vandervoort. via THR
