Indiegogo_580x330_a Indiegogo_530x910

Considering how hard it’s been to get tickets to San Diego Comic-Con, some of you may still be on the hunt. DC Entertainment’s We Can Be Heroes campaign on Indiegogo has two opportunities for folks with big hearts and big wallets. Donating $10K (and deducting $3,841 for tax purposes) will get you into the show, on top of airfare, hotel, and a bunch of very cool DC perks. But there’s only two spots left, so don’t wait too long to claim them!

In addition to TWO badges to the summer’s hottest event, one generous person and a guest will receive VIP treatment, including:

  • Roundtrip airfare for two to San Diego
  • Ground transportation between airport & hotel
  • Hotel room for two for Comic-Con’s biggest nights
  • Lunch with Geoff Johns & Gary Frank
  • Tickets for two to meet top creators at the DC Entertainment VIP event
  • T-shirt featuring Jim Lee’s Batman/Superman #1 variant cover artwork
  • 24×18 litho featuring Gary Frank’s Batman: Earth One Vol. 1 artwork

Did Toys Ruin the Batman & Robin (1997) Movie?

Batman and Robin (1997)

Batman & Robin (1997), starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Clooney, and Chris O’Donnell, nearly put the DC Comics Batman franchise into the ground for good. Joel Schumacher had just rolled off of the extremely successful Batman Forever (1995), but somehow managed to put together what’s arguably the worst Batman movie ever made. On IMDb, Batman & Robin is rated by users at 3.6 out of 10, by far the lowest of all the live action films by Tim Burton, Schumacher, Christopher Nolan, and even the Batman (1966) movie based on the campy TV series.

So what went wrong?

Holy Mez-Itz, Batman! Mezco Announces 1960’s Batman Classic TV Show Line

Mezco Mez-Itz Batman Classic TV Series 1

Warner Bros. licensing is on a tear with the 1960’s Adam West / Burt Ward Batman TV show. At Toy Fair we saw an awesome 18-inch Adam West Batman from NECA and a series of 6-inch Batman figures from Mattel, and now Mezco is in the game with a Mez-Itz line based on the show. Mezco plans to take the line deep, including Batman’s Rogues Gallery from the show with the Penguin, the Joker, Catwoman, the Riddler, and even one of the Riddler’s thugs alongside the Dynamic Duo.

Shown here are the mini 2-inch versions, which allow for Batman and Robin to fit inside the Batmobile. I’m not sure if we’ll be seeing them in the larger 6-inch Mez-Itz scale.

Eight DC Direct Steals for Characters You Won’t See in DC Universe Classics

I have a bias for super-articulated figures, so for the DC Comics brand, I tend to favor Mattel’s DC Universe Classics line over similar offerings from DC Direct / DC Collectibles. But one thing I do concede – DCD dives a lot deeper into the comics world for their character selection. Here’s eight crazy deals on DCD figures that you will probably never see offered in the DC Universe Classics line. The first four are Prime, which means free 2-day shipping if you’re a member, or if you spend over $25 if you are not:
