Superman Unchained #3 Covers

Here are the nine covers for Superman Unchained hitting the newsstands tomorrow:

The Batcopters

Sorry about the lack of posts but I have not been getting much in the way of comics, action figures, toys or other related items lately. However, I did find an unexpected item that I just had to have since the price was right. I found a Hot Wheels HW Imagination #64 Batcopter for ninety-seven cents at the local Walmart's this morning.

Here is a picture of what it looks like when someone has a decent camera:

Here is a picture that I took with my inferior camera:

Yeah, big difference in quality. Anyway, I notice something odd about the Batcopter artwork and the actual toy: the canopy and wings are different colors. The artwork shows them as purple while the toy has them blue.

I dragged my only other Batcopter out of storage. I actually had a Corgi Junior 1978 Batcopter like the one below when I was a kid of thirteen.

Here is what it looked like when it was new and still in the package:

Unfortunately, I broke my Corgi Junior 1978 Batcopter out of the package and actually played with it so the half of the back blade is missing.

Here are my two Batcopters together:

I will have to say that the Corgi Junior 1978 Batcopter is still my favorite because of the Batman logo on it plus the black and red coloring.

And The New Doctor Who Is...

Peter Capaldi. I really was hoping for the first woman or minority to be named but such is life.

Flash Coming To Arrow

Looks like Barry Allen aka the Flash is coming to CW's Arrow and may get his own series according to this. Personally, Barry had his turn at a series already and would rather see Wally West as the Scarlet Speedster. Unfortunately, CW has hit the pause button on the Wonder Woman series that was titled Amazon.

The Return of Captain Midnight

Dark Horse is releasing Captain Midnight #1 on July 31, 2013, which marks the return of the ace pilot that originally started as a radio serial in 1938. He then started appearing in a comic strip, a comic book serial published by Fawcett, a movie serial and a television series. This is not his first revival for Moonstone Publishing released Air Fighters Comics #1 in 2009 with a new Captain Midnight story. He was then reintroduced by Dark Horse in 2012 in Dark Horse Presents #18–#20, which was collected in Captain Midnight #0. In the new series, he will escape the Bermuda Triangle to the present time.

Batman Begins and The Dark Knight by Dennis O'Neil

I finally read Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008) movie novelizations by Dennis O'Neil. They have been sitting on my to read shelf for the past few years but never to around to reading them for one reason or another (I have about fifty miscellaneous books to read). Now I wished that I would have read them sooner for they were both great enough that I gave them each a solid A. Unfortunately, I do not have the movie novelization for The Dark Knight Rises, which was written by Greg Cox.
