Movie Monday: Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts

I picked up the Batman Unlimited: Animal Instints DVD at the local Dollar Tree back in May of this year. I watched it a few weeks ago but never got around to posting about it here until now. This is actually the first entry to the Batman Unlimited series (Batman Unlimited: Mechs Vs Monsters is the sequel). Roger Craig Smith is Batman, Chris Diamantopoulos is Green Arrow and Will Friedle is Nightwing. I actually enjoyed watching Silverback and Cheetah more than the good guys. The animated movie is kids friendly but even adults will enjoy it too. Special features include two episodes of The Brave and The Bold cartoon series.

Hot Wheels 2021 Batmobile First Appearance

I can't believe that I actually found the first appearance of the Hot Wheels 2021 Batmobile #4. Yes, this is the one based on The Batman movie featuring Robert Pattinson that will not hit the theaters until 2022. I picked this up at the local Dollar Tree of all places. The back text reads "Batmobile born: 2021, Gotham City Designer: Bruce Wayne. A Batmobile like you've neer seen before rumbles and roars through the dark and gritty streets of Gotham City. It may be different in its design but it is identical in its purpose: to get Batman where he's needed most and get him there with a vengeance."

Hot Wheels 2021 The Batman Batmobile Blue

I actually picked up this blue version of the Hot Wheels 2021 The Batman Batmobile last week. Like the chrome version, this is #2 of five and is based on the cartoon show that ran from 2004 to 2008. I found this in a bin with other Hot Wheels at the local Dillons store. This one has the DC logo instead of the cartoon show logo. I would have posted this sooner but I have been having problems again with my digital camera focusing. I finally decided to put it on one side and the result can be seen below.

Hot Wheels 2021 The Batman Batmobile Chrome

I actually picked up this chrome version of the Hot Wheels 2021 The Batman Batmobile last week (it's 2 of 5 in the Batman subset). I finally got around taking a picture of it and posting it here. The back text reads "Help Batman fight crime and protect Gotham City in these Batmobile inspired vehicles" with the year 2020. However, the bottom of the Batmobile says 2013. This is based on The Batman cartoon series that ran from 2004 to 2008, There is a blue version too that I have yet to find. Trying to keep track and find all these alternate Batmobiles can give one a headache.

Goodnight John Paragon

Sad news for John Paragon Dies: Jambi The Genie Of ‘Pee-wee’s Playhouse’ Was 66. He was also the voice of Pterri the Pterodactyl and a member of the Groundlings. Paragon also collaborated with Cassandra Petersen aka Elvira. He wrote Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1983), wrote and produced various Elvira TV projects, and even voiced the off-screen "Breather" that bedeviled Elvira.

Goodnight Ned Beatty

Sad news for Legendary actor Ned Beatty, 'Network' and 'Deliverance' star, 'Superman' henchman Otis, dead at 83. I will remember him mostly for his roles as Otis in Superman (1978) and as John Goodman's dad on Roseanne but he was in so much more.

Dark Burgundy and Tan Hot Wheels Arkham Knight Batmobiles

Now this is a switch for I got the dark burgundy and tan Arkham Knight Batmobiles from Hot Wheels a week apart. I got the dark burgundy Arkham Knight Batmobile at the local Dollar General about a week ago. The light in my room must be bad for it looks all black to me and still looks all black when I shine a bright flashlight on it. The tan Arkham Knight Batmobile is not a solid color and has some brown patches (I think the term is desert camouflage). I picked it up at the local Walmart's about two weeks ago. Both are #1 in the Batman set of five and #8 in the mainline set of 25-. Both have 2020 on the back but both have 2015 on their undercarriages. I find it odd that the tan Batmobile has the DC logo by the Batman Arkham Knight logo while the dark burgundy does not.

Women Wednesday: Elvira Celebrates Pride Month

June is Pride Month and here is what Elvira herself has to say about it in her official fang mail newsletter (sign up for it at her site):

"It’s that gal in the wig who’s talents are BIG — Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. June is here, it’s queer, and ya know what that means... that’s right, it’s Pride Month! I’ve always said that I was raised by a pack of wild drag queens and since then I’ve definitely raised a few myself! I will always support my friends in the LGBTQ+ community."

Doctor Moongem Meets Green Arrow and Green Lantern

As Doctor Moongem in DC Univers Online, I teamed up with Green Arrow and Green Lantern. The three of us faced Spectre, who had lost his humanity. It turned out that Eclipso was behind it and we had to defeat him too.
