THUNDER #1

IndyPlanet Digital

Check out a new comic from my close personal friend (well, I DO know him) Micheal McAdam. He will be at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo again this year too.

 Written and Illustrated by Michael McAdam Dean Meek

A terrorist is threatening to blow up a dam. Out of nowhere comes THUNDER, a flying man who can throw lightning bolts. Who is this supernatural stranger? Meet Devon Wells, a polite Canadian man with a half-mortal, half-god heritage, trying to find his way in the world-- which involves technological armor, old gods, magical powers, computer geeks and aliens!

Half-mortal, half Norse God, Devon Wells returns home to Canada after a youth spent in Asgard and steps onto the path to becoming a hero.

Can't make your own Batmobile????

http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/making-your-own-batmobile-violates-copyright-according-to-new-court-ruling/

If you've been planning to buy a replica Batmobile, you should probably do it now -- because they might not be available much longer.

Custom cars based on movie or television props have generally resided in murky legal waters, with vehicles often covered by a different set of guidelines than other works due to their ability to serve a wide variety of necessary purposes. It looks like that could be changing, however, as a court recently ruled that copyright rules extend to car design — especially when that car is a replica of the Batmobile.

BANE...a brief history

With BANE being the main villain in the upcoming Dark Knight Rises, I thought it might be time for a little history on him. Here's another great 3 minute video from Comic Vine

We can be Heroes

Archetype by Aaron Sims

Watch this stunning fan-film. Excellently done, and from what I understand, cheaply done too. Not that you'd be able to tell.

RL7 is an eight-foot tall combat robot that goes on the run after malfunctioning with vivid memories of once being human. As its creators and the military close in, RL7 battles its way to uncovering the shocking truth behind its mysterious visions and past.

The Battle for the Batman & Robin role 1965

In honor of the fact the Adam West is coming the to Calgary Expo......here's a little Bat-history.

Bill: The Boy Wonder

Noblemania: The cover for my 2012 picture book on Batman:

 Thirty-eight years ago, Bill Finger, uncredited co-creator of Batman, died. No mainstream publication ran an obituary.

Twenty-two weeks from today, you will see this humble attempt at rectifying that.

Here's the first preview:

The Dark Knight Rises Food Truck

The Dark Knight Rises Food Truck Shows Off "The Bat" | Superhero Hype

 Part of a New York Toy Fair promotion, Warner Bros.' The Dark Knight Rises food truck has been spotted in the Big Apple, bearing a brand-new image of the Caped Crusader and his new flying vehicle, "The Bat". Though we've seen it before in set photos and in toy form, this represents the first officially released image of the craft so far.

The Face of Purgatory

Another great film by the guys that brought us Batman: Legends and Batman: City of Scars.

The Oscars air live on February 26th and today a new ad campaign was revealed. The advertisements all feature the words “We Showed You” followed by a reference to a great movie of the past. One of those great movies happens to be The Dark Knight, and Heath Ledger as The Joker is featured prominently. As I’m sure you know, Ledger won a posthumous Oscar in 2009 for his brilliant performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight.
