I need to get some more Bill & Ted images in my library.
With so many choices in Hollywood today being made for the sake of token representation instead of the needs of the story or adaptation fidelity news that Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted “Theodore” Logan would be shown with daughters instead of sons in Bill & Ted Face The Music annoyed fans who were sure they had sons at the end of Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. Franchise co-creator and writer Ed Solomon appeared on Midnight’s Edge to defend the choice as a story decision and that they never really stated what gender “little Bill” and “little Ted” were. This article includes a summary of the interview if you don’t want to watch the video but they have that up there as well.
See, THIS is how you make an awesome Bat-logo. And this game doesn’t even have Batman in it. Because he’s dead.
With DC and Warner Brothers being obsessed with Batman for all the wrong reasons, it makes sense that another bat-themed video game has been made. Only with Gotham Knights Batman doesn’t play a role, because like I said he’d no longer among the living. Instead you will play as one of four Gotham heroes, as you’ll see in the trailer below. I’m a little iffy on dead Batman but maybe the game will make up for it?
Guys, stop ruining your reveal on your own cover!

Sorry, but the “global experience” was a fancy podcast, like so many of other virtual conventions. (I think somebody did one in Second Life, where at least you could walk around and actually “see” the people in costumes you were talking to. However, the rest are glorified podcasts.) And it seems like these virtual conventions DC Fandome failed to impress anyone other than a series of interviews, trailers, and clips for stuff coming out. Maybe when the lockdown finally ends (if they ever allow it) we can get back to having real conventions and livestreams of the events but when the interactions are a bunch of emotionless words on screens you might not even be able to see nobody’s really going to care as much as the real thing.
Am I the only one not impressed by this? I have seen so many logos for a Batman comic, cartoon, video game, or movie that this feels uninspired artistically. It’s just block letters and new bat symbol all of Bruce’s stuff is based around and I just find it boring.
This is one bit of news that came out of DC Fandome, the online–let’s call these “virtual conventions” what they really are. They’re podcasts. I didn’t catch the event itself but despite that trailer that showed a host in front of greenscreened Jim Lee backgrounds these are podcasts, and that’s why they aren’t as exciting as an actual convention, where fans can meet each other in person (remember those days?) and associate someplace other than text on screen. However, out of this event we do get a trailer made of what little footage they could shoot before the death plague quarantine, which gives us a better look at this movie’s tone and style. I’m even less impressed with that.
