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”

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

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.

So while the choice of books may be… uhm… interesting (Namor versus underwater vampires? Daredevil, which is in the middle of a major crossover where he and his ninja cohorts murder, abduct and engage the dark arts in soul-bending resurrections), presumably the covers, like last years’, also double as the title cards for the Super Hero Squad Show episodes. The covers shown all seem to coincide with what we already know about the upcoming season, including Namor’s Invaders cover featuring Bucky, Torch and Toro; Iron Man’s cover with Nebula and Annihilus; Daredevil’s Daredevil-less cover where Scarlet Witch faces down Thanos; and the Avengers cover featuring Hercules.

First off, TV Shows on DVD has the box art for the Super Hero Squad Show second volume DVD, coming out on November 9, 2010.

Later in November, November 30th to be exact, you can pick up the Iron Man Extremis motion comic from Marvel Knights Animation and Shout! Factory.

If motion comics are your thing, The Trades has a DVD review of the Astonishing X-Men: Gifted, featuring the initial Breakworld storyline from Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men run. September 30th is the release date for that motion comic.

If you don’t feel like waiting, you can grab Batman: Brave and the Bold Season 1, volume 1, collecting the first 13 episodes on 2 DVDs and released today.

And of course, you can also complete your collection of Wolverine and the X-Men (assuming you didn’t hold out for a US release of the season set, or import one from Canada) with volume 6, also released today.
