An ancient evil has resurfaced as Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds) and his parademons attempt to locate the three hidden Mother Boxes in an attempt to join them together and harness their combined energy to reshape earth. Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by the selfless act of Superman (Henry Cavill), Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince (Gal Gadot), to bring together the other meta-humans Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa), Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) and  Victor Stone (Ray Fisher) fight against Steppenwolf and save the World from destruction.

On this episode of Gotham TV Podcast we follow up our Hush Volume One review with a chat all about Batman Hush Volume Two (Volume 2 Collected; Issues #6-13). Written by Jeph Loeb with art by Jim Lee and Scott Williams this story arc was originally released as Batman 613-619. Again this volume follows the story of Tommy Elliot (Played by Cole Vallis on Gotham Episode 8) and his relationship with Bruce Wayne. In a story arc filled with twists and turns we find out the identity of the villain Hush and why all of Batman’s rogues gallery have been acting differently.

We always appreciate our listeners who share our episodes and we have a few thank you’s to Cole Vallis, and Gotham Originals who shared our review of Hush Volume one with their followers on Facebook. You can find the Gotham Originals on twitter @Gothamoriginals they provide great news stories and discussion about Gotham at it’s US pace if you are looking for a group to join and can’t get enough Gotham.

Two of our listeners, Detective Dillon Exner and Detective Daniel Butcher of Comic Book Time Machine and Marvel Cinematic Universe podcast Welcome to Level Seven contacted us about a missed Joker reference in Gotham. You can see the image that Detective Daniel captured of “Smile” written on the side of a building in Gotham.

We’ve moved our news section this week to the end of the episode let us know if you like the change. If you listen to us on iTunes be sure to leave us a review so that other listeners can find us.

Gotham News

  • the Dollmaker mentioned in Episode 2 of #Gotham will appear on the show. Colm Feore, who played King Laufey in Thor and also appeared in Amazing Spider-man 2 is making the leap over to DC to take the role. Dollmaker, real name Dr. Francis Dulmacher, has been teased since the second episode of Gotham, in which his creepy henchmen Doug (Frank Whaley) and Patti (Lili Taylor) name him as the culprit behind the mass kidnappings of the city’s street children. We wonder if John’s theory on the Dollmaker will come true.
  • Comicbook.com had the news up on their site

DC Connected News

  • Supergirl has been cast for the upcoming CBS show as Supergirl herself, the young Kara Zor-El. We don’t know much about the show yet but the big question given that CBS are part owners in the CW channel which airs Arrow and The Flash, will Supergirl exist in the same universe as those two shows. Only time will tell. The full story is available over on IGN.com

Thanks as always for listening we’ll talk to you again soon with another episode of Gotham TV Podcast.

Gotham News
⦁    Gotham has been officially renewed by Fox in the US for a second season. At the Television Critics Association (TCA) Winter event on Saturday 17th January Co-Chairman and CEO of Fox, Dana Walden, said that Fox “love the show” and they’ve told the team behind the hit show “keep doing what you’re doing”. This is great news.
⦁    Other great news revolves around RTE in Ireland who have officially confirmed that Gotham will premiere on RTÉ2 beginning Monday 26th January at 9pm. They’ve even released a brand new trailer. This should hopefully mean a wider audience is reached for the show in Ireland.

⦁    Robin Lord-Taylor fans have been asking one question regularly for months. What do previous actors who play the character think about his performance as the young Oswald Cobblepot on Gotham? Well the answer was given at the TCA’s this weekend when Danny DeVito (there to promote “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia“) was asked about his opinion about Robin Lord-Taylor. He told AccessHollywood.com “I’ve watched the show. I think he’s a very good young Penguin” ,”He’s a terrific actor,”. A ringing endorsement.
⦁    It’s also been announced that the future father of Dick Grayson, John Grayson will be played by Rob Gorrie. The circus will roll into Gotham in Episode 16 carrying with it the Flying Graysons. The episode is titled “The Blind Fortune Teller”. As Gotham takes place during the young years of Bruce Wayne, John Grayson will be a much younger character so we won’t see any appearance of Dick Grayson in the show.

DC Connected News
⦁    Former Dark Knight Rises star Tom Hardy has dropped out of his second DC movie “Suicide Squad” due to scheduling conflicts. The current movie he’s filming, “The Revenant”, has run over so he’s unable to take on the role of Rick Flag in “Suicide Squad” which starts filming in April 2014.

Thanks for listening we’ll be covering Volume 2 of Hush in our next podcast as Gotham is still on hiatus in Ireland and the UK; returning to Channel 5 for the second half of season one in March.

26 July, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com News, SDCC 2014 2 Comments

As the internet exploded all around the Warner Bros. Pictures panel delivered. To introduce their panel a short and sweet (the film is 2-years away) Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice tease on a number of fronts was given to Hall H at SDCC 2014. As Zack Snyder walked on to stage he revealed concept artwork for the movie and a short piece of footage depicting Batman as he reveals the Bat Signal. The footage also reveals an angry looking Superman looking on as he flies overhead his eyes begin to glow red with heat vision…ready for a Batman Superman showdown. Snyder was then joined by the reunited team of Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill) and for the first time Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) to huge excitement and much applause. What a way to kick off a panel. Check out the Silver Lasso on her left hip.

The first day of San Diego Comic Con has ended. A relatively quiet day for Gotham related news but there was a loads of Batman news on show throughout the day. We expect lots of DC connected universe news over the rest of the weekend.

New Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham trailer and Demo

As we shared yesterday there was a new trailer for the brilliant looking Lego Batman 3. IGN also had a play-though with the developers TT Games of the Batman 66 themed level featuring voice over from Adam West, the original music from the show and all the crazy 60s gadgets that you know and love. See the play-through below.

 

Batman ’66 on Blu-Ray

Speaking of Adam West. He joined Julie Newmar (Catwoman) and Burt Ward were to discuss details of the first release of the complete Batman ’66 series on DVD and Blu-Ray. Coming on the 11th of November to the US the full box set contains all 120 episodes of the genre defining 60s show with a Batmobile replica hot wheels car and tonnes of special features. We’ll be pre-ordering this one.

Spotlight on Scott Snyder

2529601-scottsnyder_564

Given his current work on Batman: The New52! series, Scott Snyder writer of Batman Zero Year, Superman Unchained and American Vampire (and the upcoming title Wytches for Image Comics) is an important figure right now for DC and for the Batman universe. In this panel Scott Snyder provides a great insight in to his work and the craft of comic writing. The “Spotlight” panel explores topics such as why he chose the Riddler as the principal villain for “Batman: Zero Year” and what it was like and how prepared he was to write Batman after landing the job with DC. Scott Snyder also talks about his experiences pitching his writing, such as American Vampire, to publishers and the upcoming projects Wytches and Batman: Endgame. The panel transcript can be found in full via Newsarama.

Spotlight on Bill Finger

Bill Finger

Featuring members of Bill Finger’s family this panel dealt with the legacy left behind by Bill’s contribution to the creation of Gotham city and The Bat-Man in 1959. It’s unlikely the Dark Knight we know and love today would have existed without Mr. Finger’s contribution, so it was great to see his name highlighted on this weeks free reprint of Detective Comics #27. You can read a recap of the panel via comicsbeat.com

Gotham Zip-Lining, Trams and Taxis disguised as G.C.P.D. cars.

Opened by Kevin Faulconer, the Mayor of San Diego, the Gotham Zip-Line allows fans to glide past a backdrop of Gotham City. Looks like great fun there’s a video of the Gotham Zip-line below. There are also Gotham Trams operating on the route to the convention center and if you want to use a taxi to get around and order through the Uber app you can get picked up by a Gotham City Police Department car.

New Ben Affleck Batman image

At the DC entertainment both they had created a rather large surprise for fans in the Batman 75 montage wall. In amongst a vast number of images of batman throughout the years they had included a head shot of Ben Affleck in the cowl from the upcoming movie Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.  He looks a little like most of the attendees at comic con will look after a weekend of camping out for Hall H but still very cool.

ben-affleck-batman

With three more days of fun in San Diego, including panels for Gotham, Arrow, Flash, Constantine and Warner Bros. Pictures we’ll have loads more to discuss and share. We’ll do a full recap at the end of SDCC 2014 on our podcast.

 

Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham…SDCC 2014 Trailer

24 July, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com News, SDCC 2014 Comments Off on Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham…SDCC 2014 Trailer

San Diego Comic-Con begins with Batman…LEGO Batman to be precise and amongst other LEGO announcements was the brand new trailer for TT Games latest LEGO inspired game – LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. IGN revealed the all-new LEGO Batman 3 Comic-Con trailer and it certainly has a lot of new footage. Are Superman and Wonder Woman on a date? We certainly enjoyed the crispy duck moment from the trailer and of course LEGO Batman’s continuing tongue-in-cheek jealousy of Superman and his powers.You can check it out below.

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham will be available this Autumn on PS4, XBox One and all other major consoles and handhelds this Autumn. This should be great fun for all fans of LEGO, Batman and for all the family.

Batman V Superman has an official title

21 May, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com News Comments Off on Batman V Superman has an official title

The Batman V Superman twitter account released a new logo for the highly anticipated superhero movie today. They also revealed to the world that the previously unnamed movie has been titled Dawn of Justice.

So what can we tell from these three little words. We’re only speculating but after a huge amount of criticism of Superman’s actions at the end of Man of Steel is Bruce Wayne in Metropolis to show Kal-El the true meaning of Justice? This would make a battle between Batman and Superman inevitable wouldn’t it?

The official Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice website has also been launched today

Only 100 weeks left to wait.

Meanwhile feast your eyes on the new logo. There’s a lot of darkness overtaking the Superman symbol which, as we learned in Man of Steel, means hope. Does this mean that Clark is losing hope in the human race?

We can’t wait to see how these two behemoths go head to head on the big screen for the first time on 6th of May 2016.

For good measure and in anticipation of the film here are the photo’s again of Ben Affleck’s sad Batman with his Batmobile that Zack Snyder released last week via his twitter account.
