Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes DVDs
TV Shows on DVD has news about the first two Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes DVDs, both to be released on April 26, and both apparently single-disc affairs with an MSRP of $19.99 and with running times of 154 and 135 minutes. No word yet on which episodes are officially included, or the episode sequencing (for instance, will the mini-sodes be included before the pilot episode like they aired on TV, or in the collected format that gets numbered AFTER the first handful of episodes?) but with luck a season set is in the works and we won’t still be waiting months later, like we are for Spectacular Spider-Man season 2.
Marvel’s Black Panther on DVD at last!
It’s been a long time coming, but Marvel’s Black Panther animated series is finally coming to DVD, as Marvel.com reports. Footage from the series was teased back when the Incredible Hulk came out on DVD, as we talked about in October 2008. BET’s colllaboration was the subject of a panel devoted solely to the Black Panther at NYCC as reported in January 2009. And of course we were all excited to hear that the Black Panther would finally be airing, albeit in Australia, back in January 2010, almost a full year ago.
Now we can bring this turbulent ride to a close on January 18, 2011, when “Marvel Knights Animation: Black Panther” is officially released, with such “extensive” features as:”Looking Back at Black Panther with Reginald Hudlin”, “Exclusive Music Video”, and “Trailers”
Toy Talk Stampede 12/6/10
I’m just rounding up various topics of interest into a massive pot of post.
First: Do you see the similarities between Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Bruce Timm’s finest? How bought Teen Titans 2… I mean, Young Justice (after all, all of the fun Titans aren’t in this show). Join the discussion of Young Justice here.
Second: We’ve been discussing the upcoming, impending, and all highly theoretical Super Hero Squad Captain America presence. With his moving coming up, the figures are a guarantee, but who will we get? Toxin points us to an unusual prototype Super Hero Squad Captain America, and continues to feed discussion of who would we might see released in conjunction with the Captain America movie. Toon’s got some pictures of the whole assortment of Captains so far, but you’ll probably need to sign up to see them.
Wrapping things up for today, Think takes us through some great ideas for modifying the recently released Galactic Heroes Senate Commando figure
Marvel and DC NYCC Animation Rundown
Comic Book Resources has an account of Superman/Shazam writer Michael Jelenic, Gary Miereanu of Warner Home Animation, and of course, the man behind DC’s animated golden age, Bruce Timm. They discuss the upcoming Black Adam short, Batman Beyond, ad the upcoming All Star Superman video based on Grant Morrison’s story. For more on Jerry O’Connell’s run as Captain Marvel, you can also check out MTV’s Splash Page. They’ve also got a bit more of Bruce Timm discussing All Star Superman over here.
The made for TV specials falling under the Legends of the Super-Heroes banner (The Roast and the Challenge) will finally be available through Warner Brothers’ manufacture on demand offerings on October 19. These were the live action features showing Batman, Robin and a host of DC super heroes and villains from the Huntress, Hawkman and the Atom to Giganta and Sinestro.
November 26 is the Young Justice 1-hour pilot according to Newsarama. Captain Cold, Mr. Freeze, Project: Cadmus. Black Canary, Red Tornado, Zatara and Captain Marvel are going to play important roles in the show, with some mysteries coming up, such as which DC character is Artemis, where is Zatana. More interesting to some is that over 150 existing DC characters are going to appear in the first 18 episodes.
For Green Lantern, however, Bruce Timm (while speaking at the GL panel) says that the DC Animated Universe don’t converge so we won’t be seeing appearances from Batman and Wonder Woman. This version of Green Lantern will feature space vehicles, a new character Aya, and a bunch of established characters like Kilowog, Atrocitus, Ganthet, Salaak, Ch’p and Guy Gardner. The best part however is that if you scroll to the end, they mention that Mattel is doing the action figures.
While Green Lantern exists in its own continuity, all of Marvel’s upcoming G4 Marvel Anime series apparently take place in the same universe, and crossovers may be possible according to their NYCC 2010 live chat.
