Kicking their Batman 75th anniversary celebration into high gear, DC revealed the new Batman Beyond animated short at WonderCon 2014. Though only a little longer than a minute, the short features the two original voice actors from the series, Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne and Will Friedle as Terry McGinnis. Check it out below, courtesy of Yahoo Movies:
Darwyn Cooke, the writer and artist of Batman Beyond, was commissioned to make this short. Batman fans were surely notice the Batman costumes from throughout the Caped Crusader’s history, including Adam West and the original comic book design by Bob Kane. This minute and 15 seconds was definitely a reminder of the genius of Batman Beyond and a great way to celebrate The Dark Knight’s 75th birthday.

One of the awesome things about playing a comic book-based video game is the inherent unlockables and easter eggs that are hidden inside of the game for the fans of the source material. More typical is that there are unlockable costumes that you can play as that represent alternate characters or timelines of your favorite hero.
It’s a trick that’s been used for years. Games like Spider-Man, where you can play as Green Goblin, or any of the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games, where you can don as a slew of unlockable costumes for your favorite characters. It’s a simple yet awesome piece of added value to many of the consumers rushing out to buy the game.
While Batman: Arkham City missed the boat on this, they’re definitely making up for it with their newest release, Arkham City. In this game, we’re told that you can unlock a whole cornacopia of alternate Bat-suits for the Dark Knight.
Those costumes range from Dark Knight Returns Batman, to Batman Beyond, 70’s Batman, Batman: The Animated Series Batman, Earth One Batman, and your standard Batman suit.
Here’s the catch: each of these costumes are only unlockable if you pre-order the game from a specific store. Kind of big catch, for those who want every costume, but don’t feel like buying the game 5 times.
Check out the full list of how to get each costume after the jump, along with the full-res image of each suit. Batman: Arkham City hits shelves October 18th.

Cartoon Network has been working their way outside of the animated box for the past few years or so, with brand new original live action programming. This was a start for the network with original films surrounding established franchises like Scooby Doo and Ben 10, and has now moved on to full series like Unnatural History and this week’s upcoming Tower Prep.
From Lost and Batman Beyond producer Paul Dini, this new show follows the lives of a group of teens who finds themselves in a mysterious school, with mysterious and unique abilities. Think X-Men meets Lost. We got the opportunity to speak with the four main stars of the film and today we’re bringing you half of those interviews, as we discuss just exactly what Tower Prep is with stars Ryan Pinkston and Drew Van Acker.
Check out the interview after the jump. Be sure to check back here tomorrow for more with the cast.
Also, be sure to catch the very first episode of Tower Prep on Cartoon Network, tomorrow October 19th, at 8pm ET/PT.

Though many have thrown on the cowl and rubber boots on both the silver and TV screens, there has always been a constant when it comes to the voice of the animated Dark Knight, and his name is Kevin Conroy. For nearly 20 years, Conroy has been the voice of the bat in shows like Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League, and Batman Beyond to video games like Batman: Arkham Asylum. Now, he gets to don the animated cape once more in Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.
Not only does Conroy return as Batman, but legendary voice actors Clancy Brown and Tim Daly return as both Lex Luthor and Superman. We got a chance to talk to Kevin about his return to the role, and working opposite Daly in what he likes to call “a buddie cop movie” with capes.
Check out the interview with Kevin Conroy after the jump where he discusses the upcoming film, working as Batman for so many years, and his take on some of the other actors portraying the world’s greatest detective. Be sure to keep it here for another Superman/Batman: Public Enemies interview tomorrow, and grab the DVD next Tuesday, September 29th.
