Ep 164 Scott and I give your thoughts of the Edmonton Expo 2018. Also the big Batman Dong scandal that has DC wanting copies of Batman – Damned back.Telltale games massive layoffs. Bethesda making a Wolfenstein 3 game to finish the story. The Chucky reboot and Katherine McNamara joining The Arrow. Plus Shatner news, Disney, Daredevil and more.

According to an article from Bleeding Cool, DC will not be reprinting Batman: Damned #1. If you have not heard where hell have you been? Batman: Damned #1 is now famous for a shadowy but of so clear pictures of Batman’s dick. The comic will not be reprinted at all.
The Joker is dead.
There is no doubt about that. But whether Batman finally snapped his scrawny neck or some other sinister force in Gotham City did the deed is still a mystery.
Problem is, Batman can’t remember…and the more he digs into this labyrinthian case, the more his mind starts to doubt everything he’s uncovering.
So who better to set him straight than…John Constantine? Problem with that is as much as John loves a good mystery, he loves messing with people’s heads even more. So with John’s “help,” the pair will delve into the sordid underbelly of Gotham as they race toward the mind-blowing truth of who murdered The Joker.
So if you were not one of the lucky few ( I got one bitches) it is going to cost you now. If you do have one it be highly recommend that you take that sucker and board and bag it, DO NOT READ. Go to ComixoIogy and get the digital one. Keep that sucker in the best condition as possible.
You can find the book selling on Ebay between 400 to 1000 US at the moment. The news that DC will not be reprinting at all will cause the books value to go up. Print runs on books nowadays are nothing like they were like at the time of the 90’s. Finding this book at a good value will be hard.
Also Batman: Damned #2 will be shipping late. It has moved form November 21st to December 5th. Batman: Damned #3 will be a whole two months behind, coming out March 13th 2109.

Disney is enlisting Earth’s Mightiest Heroes as the company prepares to launch its upcoming streaming service. The entertainment giant is in early development on an ambitious plan for a number of limited series centered on popular characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These series will likely include shows centered on Loki and the Scarlet Witch, along with other beloved superheroes who have yet to appear in their own standalone movies.
Marvel and Disney had no comment.

Okay so that top part is a copy and paste from the article from Variety. See I am honest about where is got it from. But the thing that has me wondering is Marvel and Disney had no comment. The rest of the article goes on about the streaming service and cost of this and that but nothing to really confirm the story.
I am hoping that this all true and in a few days we will see confirmation from Disney and Marvel. If they plan on using the original actors from the movies to also do the TV series well take my money. But take what you read with a grain of salt. Even Variety may get it wrong.
