The BBC has finally released a trailer for the first-half of Series Seven of Doctor Who hitting airwaves later this month. The new season will be broken in half with the Christmas special (introducing Jenna-Louise Coleman as The Doctor’s new companion) in the middle. From the trailer it looks like we’ll be seeing robots, dinosaurs, lots of Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill), Weeping Angels, and the return of Alex Kingston as River Song.

  • Title: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1
  • IMDB: link

The first trailer for the two-part animated movie adapatation of Frank Miller‘s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns has hit the net and the results are… mixed. From what we see here the look of Miller’s version of a an older Batman look fairly well represented but my biggest concerns are examples of voice acting we get in the trailer. Peter Weller‘s Batman is far from the older, graveled voice I was expecting. Ariel Winter sounds okay as Carrie Kelly, although (whether it be her choice or the direction) the inflection and delivery of some iconic lines seems to be off (as in her first introduction to Batman). DC’s certainly throwing a ton of money at this (for a straight-to-DVD animated film, anyway) and given my love for the original property I’m certainly going to give it a look, but I do have some concerns. The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 hits stores on October 23rd.

There’s a new Green Lantern in town

Green LanternTV Guide reported yesterday that when Green Lantern: The Animated Series returns for its second season this Fall a new character will join the cast – Guy Gardner. It seems Gardner replaced Hal Jordan as Green Lantern of space sector 2814 during Hal’s lengthy absence last season. Now with Hal back things should get interesting. Kudos to the show not only for using Guy but also the choice of Diedrich Bader (Batman: The Brave and the Bold) to voice him. Well played.
