This week on all things comic books we are going to take a look at the Batman Ninja animated film, the Venom trailer and some cool things you need to be on the look out for on Free Comic Book Day, which is on May 5th.
Batman Ninja
Batman Ninja
Batman Ninja takes a journey across the ages as Gorilla Grodd’s time displacement machine transports many of Batman’s worst enemies to feudal Japan—along with the Dark Knight and a few of his allies. The villains take over the forms of the feudal lords that rule the divided land, with the Joker taking the lead among the warring factions. As his traditional high-tech weaponry is exhausted almost immediately, Batman must rely on his intellect and his allies—including Catwoman and the extended Bat-family—to restore order to the land, and return to present-day Gotham City.
Venom
Venom Movie
One of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and badass characters comes to the big screen, starring Academy Award nominated actor Tom Hardy as the lethal protector Venom. The trailer for Venom was released this week and some fans were not happy with the way Venom looks. What do you say? Do you like Sony’s take on Venom? There are rumors that Spider-Man or Carnage could make a cameo, but will that satisfy Spidey and Venom fans? Venom will be released this October.
