Many announcements at this year\’s SDCC have rocked the comic world, none greater than Zack Synder\’s Batman/Superman movie! No one has any real clue what the premise of the film will be but it was a bit strange to hear one of the more famous lines from Batman: The Dark Knight Returns read out…
Batman and Robin Vol. 1 #1 ( first Mr. Toad ) & Batman 666 ( first Prof. Pyg ) Beware the Batman is already a polarizing show. With episode 1 airing this past weekend to mixed reviews one thing is clear-Professor Pyg and Mr. Toad stole it. Despite Pyg\’s altered origin I am…
