Old Is New...

Notice a change? Yes? No? Well, wait.. this is the old news page?!?!? That's right, for those who have been with us for a long time, you'll notice that BatmanYTB has changed back to the news page we used two years ago. I changed it over when the new 52 hit. And guess what, I don't like the New 52, and while the new news page was alright, I missed this one. While the site itself is still archived, be on the look out for more news being posted!

P.S. - Forums are once again opened!

Review: Batman: The Brave & The Bold Season Two Part One

DC Comics relaunch setting sales record

Source: LATimes.com

DC Comics is already setting sales records for its upcoming relaunch of 52 superhero titles, a sign that the Superman and Batman publisher's new strategy is garnering fan attention, at least for the moment.

The Warner Bros. unit revealed in a story in Tuesday's Los Angeles Times that pre-orders for Justice League No. 1, which goes on sale Aug. 31, are already higher than 200,000. That makes it the bestselling comic book of 2011. In addition six other No. 1 titles -- Batman, Action Comics, Green Lantern, Detective Comics, Superman and Flash -- have pre-orders higher than 100,000, making them among this year's bestselling comics too.

DC is relaunching its entire superhero line with No. 1 issues over the next month in a bid to simplify and modernize stories and characters to draw new, younger readers. In addition, for the first time it is making all of its comics available on digital devices like iPads the same day they go on sale in stores. It's a two-pronged strategy to revive sales in the slumping comic book market at the same time that comic book characters are being used more than ever by entertainment giants like Warner.

DC sent out a FAQ to it's retailers and readers detailing more of what is to come and what we can expect with the relaunch.

One of the most interesting tidbits that will be sure to have Bat fans buzzing...

Q: Does The New 52 undo events or continuity that I've been reading?

Some yes, some no. But many of the great stories remain. For example - Batgirl. The Killing Joke still happened and she was Oracle. Now she will go through physical rehabilitation and become a more seasoned and nuanced character because she had these incredible and diverse experiences.

The cast for Batman: Year One has been announced by Warner Bros.

In Year One, a young Bruce Wayne is first starting out as a costumed vigilante. He creates an early bond with Lieutenant James Gordon, whose importance in the tale makes it as much as Gordon's story as Wayne's.

Cranston is playing Gordon, while McKenzie is Wayne/Batman. Dushku voices Catwoman, while Sackhoff is Detective Sarah Essen, a Gordon love interest.

Additionally, Alex Rocco lends his pipes as crime lord Carmine Falcone.

Batman: Year One will be rated PG-13 and hits home video in the fall, but the world premiere will be at Comic-Con in July.
