BW’s Art Soundoff 2021 #15: Redrawing Reconstructed Batman–Posing

Jake & Leon #510: Jake & Max’s Art Soundoff 2021 #2

The closest you’ll come to seeing these characters naked. At least from me.

As a bonus Art Soundoff video I even used Clip Studio Paint’s recording feature to make a speed draw video making the comic.

Meanwhile over at The Clutter Reports I revisited yet another project that I screwed up doing other projects. Only me, folks.

So my dad is in the hospital right now, mostly for tests and things are currently looking up. What that means is that things may be a bit screwy this week. I will have the Chapter By Chapter review of Star Trek: Prime Directive up and running but I can’t promise it will be on time. I also may miss a day or two and as far as this week’s Art Soundoff redraw of Reconstruction Zone Batman I’ll still have it but posting days may end up screwy depending on what happens this week. Hopefully I’ll be bringing him home soon, but priorities are on him and not this site. I’ll post where I can if only to keep going and have something to do but I want you all to know why things are off this week.

I hope you are all well though and have a good week.

Saturday Night Showcase> Kamen Rider Wizard

It’s time to work through some of my SNS backlog. Kamen Rider Wizard is the 23rd entry in the Kamen Rider franchise, and the 14th installment of the “Heisei” period. The show tells the story about a ritual that turned people into demons called Phantoms, who seek to create more of their kind by making people with magical potential, also called Gates, fall into despair to release the Phantom into the world. However, one man instead becomes a wizard and tasked with fighting these demons, essentially closing the proverbial gate of the literal Gates.

Toei Tokusatu World has, as usual, released only the first two episodes thus far. And yet some show about a comical robot is getting a full posting on the official YouTube channel. I don’t get it. The first introduces our hero while the second sets up the situation so I’ll be showing both episodes tonight. Turn on closed captions to get English subtitles, and enjoy.

What’s worse, the fact that Hong Kong Phooey’s terrible live-action movie concept never got made or that Scooby’s actually did?

Warner Brothers “MultiVersus”: Another Smash Bros. Clone?

He’s going to have an awful headache in the morning.

There are times when you know the formula copying is running out of ideas when the weird ones occur. I guess the crossover platform fighting game genre is reaching that level if it didn’t already pass it because it’s not a genre I follow all that intently. MultiVersus is a crossover fighter that hopes to play with the Smash Bros. formula by having their various owned (and in one case licensed because I don’t think simply airing a show with the character counts) WB characters beat each other up. The game is made by Player First Games and distributed through Warner Brothers Games.

Recently a preview trailer was produced to show off this new game. Because I like to end the week on something fun and my other two potential topics…aren’t, let’s see this game in action.
