Who Is The Voice Of Batman In WB’s Animated Two Part THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS?
When THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS was announced last year, I was hoping that Warner Brothers would splurge and hire the one and only Clint Eastwood to voice Bruce Wayne and Batman. That didn’t happen, but DC Entertainment did a terrific job in getting a voice regardless. According to Hollywood Reporter, Peter Weller, RoboCop himself, will be voicing Wayne/Batman in this animated adaptation of Frank Miller’s classic story. If he can drop in a “Your move, creep” here and there that’d be just dandy.
THR reported other voices that have bene cast so far - Ariel Winter (MODERN FAMILY) will be the voice of Robin, Wade Williams (PRISON BREAK) is Harvey Dent/Two-Face, and Michael McKean will play the psychiatrist Dr. Wolper, who worked in getting Dent released from Arkham Asylum and works with the Joker. On a related note, we wish Michael McKean a speedy recovery from his auto accident yesterday. No word on Joker casting yet, but wouldn’t it be a trip if they got Kurtwood Smith or John Lithgow to do it?
I know this is a direct-to-DVD movie, and animated to boot, but it’s important that WB gets this one right. I don’t anticipate a live-action adaptation for quite some time, and THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS ain’t for kids. WB will be releasing this in two parts - THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS PART 1 and PART 2, so while I’m not sure that two parts were necessary, they seem to at least be aware of the scope of the story. DC and Warner Brothers know that the fans are fairly rabid for this one, and hopefully we’ll get THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS properly done and with no punches pulled. Peter Weller is a great start on that road.

Avengers movie Black Widow Marvel Legends by *Jin-Saotome
“Black Widow is an integral part of the Avenger and kicked some serious behind in the movie! But where is she in the Marvel Legends Avengers line? Not to worry, I’ve created her in her movie style outfit. Arkham Catwoman was used as the base body with joints heavily modified because of the original lack of range. Her head is a custom Black Canary DCU cast by CamcoKid Castings, Black Widow wrist stingers, modded Nick Fury hands, custom made webgear, and feet from someone else. She has SHIELD arm patches and a hourglass belt buckle to top off her look.” - John Mallamas

Shepard Fairey Piece of the Day: Ebony magazine commissioned street artist Shepard Fairey (of Obey and HOPE fame) to create artwork of the late Trayvon Martin to accompany a piece in this month’s issue. Fairey writes:
I have followed Trayvon’s case closely and I think any compassionate human being can relate to Trayvon as a brother or son and would want to see a thorough investigation into the killing of an unarmed person. In my portrait I wanted to emphasize Trayvon’s humanity as well as the public outcry for a just investigation into his death.
