Batman/TMNT #1 - Variant Cover Guide

Tweet

Holy Turtles, Batman! Yes, today is the release of the first issue (of six) of the HUGE Batman/TMNT crossover event. And, as is now typical of HUGE events, there is a laundry list of variant covers. Because this is published by DC assets for the covers weren't directly available, so they have been collected from different sources. While this is believed to be a complete list, don't be surprised if one or two more end up surfacing.

"TMNT 2: Half Shell" Trailer Rumored to be in Front of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens"

Tweet

In a video posted to Facebook, Stephen Amell (Casey Jones) seems to have confirmed that we will see the first trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Half Shell before the biggest movie of the year, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Although he doesn't name the movie (Star Wars) by name, it does qualify as a "relatively big movie" that comes out this month.

This brief clip is embedded below. You can also see the full video on Facebook (skip to 11:08).

TMNT Video Game News

Tweet

It's been awhile since the TMNT have made a mark in the video game world, but this week there are two tidbits to report.

Tidbit 1:
PC Gamer is reporting that development studio Platinum Games has a TMNT title in the works, as it has happened to cross the Australian Classification Board website. No details on it yet, but keep watch for updates as information becomes available.

Tidbit 2:
If you're playing Tony Hawk 5, Activision has released some DLC that includes the TMNT as playable characters. The tie-in seems a bit random, but Activision is Nickelodeon's video game distribution partner for TMNT titles.
