Well This Looks Brilliant

For fans of superheroes, animation and Kavinsky (ie. me), the above trailer probably made you want to rip of your shirt to reveal the self-made costume you’ve been secretly repping for all these years.

DC Nation is a new hour-long programming block from Cartoon Network that is dedicated to the world of DC Comics (that’s Superman and Batman, not X-Men and Spider-Man to all you squares out there). As well as shows such as Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series -  the latest project from DC cartoon legend Bruce Timm – DC Nation will also feature animated shorts based on your favourite caped icons. And from the looks of things, it’s all about the shorts.

Having said that we could’ve done without an appearance from Howard Fucking Wolowitz.

At Last An Excuse For A Batman Post

So what am I doing posting up a trailer for a straight-to-DVD animated adaptation of Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One? That doesn’t exactly fall under our jurisdiction. Well if I’m honest, I just think this looks pretty damn good. As it happens the voice-over cast for this film is a who’s who of TV actors.

First we’ve got an interesting casting of Ben McKenzie (Southland, The OC) as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Then there’s Eliza Dushku (Buffy, Dollhouse) as Catwoman, in a role that she was born to play. And Playing Lt. James Gordon is none other that Brian “Breaking Bad” Cranston. Battlestar’s Katee Sackhoff and Cowboy Bebop’s Steve Blum also make vocal appearances.

So all things considered I’d say that ties in with the whole “television thing” we’ve got going on here rather nicely.
