NECA Batman Arkham City Harley Quinn

"I promised you some entertainment, right, boys?" 

The NECA Batman Arkham City Harley Quinn is one of the coolest and hottest looking toys from the video game. 

We have mixed feelings about the Batman Arkham City game given that it ended with the death of the Joker - that's not a spoiler, if you don't know that you probably shouldn't be here.

Other than that it was a great game!

And we're quite partial to this particular outfit. Arkham Assylum game us Harley Quinn in a nurse outfit, which does satisfy certain fetishes we may have had, but in our opinion, this red and black punk rock outfit is more fitting for someone who would later command the remains of Joker's Clown Army.

Justice League Movie Ezra Miller Flash Uniform

The Flash: All tied up

This image of Ezra Miller as the Flash for the upcoming DC Justice League uniform has hit the internet, and it looks like crap in our opinion. Ignoring the damage, it looks like it's being held together by wire. 

WTF DC!!!!???

Batman versus Superman review: World's Finest Disaster

This is our sister blog's take on Batman versus Superman:

"Batman versus Superman has officially made a respectable US$82 million from ticket sale, and is projected to have an opening weekend return of US$170M - this despite the plethora of negative reviews that has plagued its release.

Unfortunately, this is another one of those bad reviews. In a nutshell we believe that DC and Zach Synder both gave in to the public pressure and criticism that followed Man of Steel (2013), and created an apologist version of what could have been a great movie.

And it wasn't a fun ride either. It was two hours worth of flipping screens with probably no more than four lines of dialogue exchanged between cardboard characters prior to a rather unimpressive gladiator match and another few minutes of city-wide carnage with supposedly no casualties.

So here's our take on why it didn't work, what did work, and what we feel needs to be changed if DC doesn't want to follow Michael Bay's mindless money making Transformers movies."

Petron Armored Batman Lamp

Petron Armored Batman Lamp 

Presenting a Armored Batman Lamp from Petron's Batman versus Superman memorabilia collection.

Well. Batman versus Superman: Dawn of Justice has finally come out. The good news is, Batffleck did a better job than he did in Daredevil.

The bad news is, Daredevil was a better movie than Batman versus Superman.

We'll save our review for a later date on our sister site.

Bale is still our Batman.

We actually got this lamp a few weeks back when we fueled up at Petron. We paid an additional PhP 200 (Roughly US$ 4.26) after gasing up past the PhP 1,000 (Roughly US$ 21.28). But we didn't want to sound like a Petron PR piece so we held back a bit - and because this isn't a PR piece unless we missed the paycheck.

We love it and this will be short.

DC SuperHeroes Supergirl Action Figure

DC SuperHeroes Supergirl Action Figure

Presenting the DC Superheroes Supergirl Action Figure.

This particular figure has actually been sitting in the Dungeon for years. We recently aired it out of storage and decided to shoot it given the recent popularity of the Supergirl TV series.

If you watched the pilot, this midriff bearing outfit was actually considered by the Maiden of Might - as designed and sewn by her "frienzoned" friend Winn (We of course assumed at the time that he was gay - but apparently not). Anyway, the TV series opted to use the original Supergirl costume that first debuted in 1958. The figure here features a costume that first debuted in 2003 upon the return of Kara Zor El to the DC universe.

People are actually still wondering why Supergirl bothers to fight crime in a skirt.

DC Comics Icons Green Lantern Hal Jordan Action Figure

DC Comics Icons Green Lantern Hal Jordan

Presenting the Green Lantern Hal Jordan from the DC Comics Icons toyline.

We don't quite understand what happened in Convergence. Personally we've always thought that the so called :"Crisis" events of DC were so metaphysically difficult to understand. Marvel's recent version of "Crisis" was easier to understand. Both DC and Marvel ask that you purchase a boat-load of comic books if you want to have even the slightest hope of understanding them.

Anyway, the current Hal Jordan has been completely rebooted, and instead of sporting a power-ring, he now sports a vintage power gauntlet and power-pack, a really bad haircut, a trenchcoat, and a hoodie that brings Hal back to the days when he was the Spectre.

All in an effort to restore the reputation of the Green Lantern Corp by drawing the blame for the Corp's failure to keep order in the galaxy to him - being the figurative leader of the Corp.

Arkham City Catwoman

Presenting Catwoman from the Batman: Arkham City video game. I came across the figure, loose while trawling through the "independent" toy sellers in St. Francis Square behind Megamall in Ortigas Complex, Philippines.

I have to admit that I was really confused when I saw this figure because a) The only Arkham City Catwoman Action Figure that I was aware of was not yet released and was scheduled for release only in April of this year courtesy of DC Direct, and; b) This figure - while it bore a semblance to it - did not look like it as can be seen here on the right.

So what was this? It wasn't a knock-off nor a custom build and it wasn't the DC New 52 Catwoman - though that was what I initially thought it was till I noticed the belt buckles and shoulder diamond chevrons which said that this was an Arkham City Catwoman - I was too distracted by the more than ample bosom to make that connection instantly.

I almost gave up, then I found her. This is the Catwoman from the Batman Legacy Action Figure series of Mattel that was first seen in the 2011 New York Comic Con that's rumored to be released as part of a two pack along with the Arkham City Batman. Thank God for ActionFigurepics.com 

Here's the thing though, this particular box-set is just entering the market and here I had her loose. You just gotta love that black-market sometimes.

DC Direct Brightest Day: Jade

Presenting Jade from DC Direct's Brightest Day series 3 AKA Jennifer-Lynn "Jennie" Hayden. To the uninitiated, Jade is the daughter of Allan Scott AKA the Golden Age Green Lantern and  Rose Canton - a woman whose split persona is the villain named Thorn - ex-Golden Age Flash villain (Yeah he likes bad girls). Jade's twin is the slightly insane Todd Rice, also known as Obsidian whose Shadow based powers are in contrast to Jade's light-based powers.

Ironically, both Jade and Obsidian gained awareness of their power while escaping from molestation while they were in their foster homes - their mom's Thorn persona had resurfaced and she stole them away from home but fearing that she could end up harming them, surrendered them to foster care.

Jade manifested the ability to create green light constructs akin to the power of her father and the members of the Green Lantern Corp - but not requiring her a ring to focus the energy or the need to recharge. We should note that the source of her power - as with that of her father's - is the Starheart (Which is magic based versus the Green Lantern Corp's science based rings).

Jade would go on to become the Earth's first female member of the Green Lantern Corp and was eventually killed in space during the events of DC's Infinite Crisis.

Power Girl speaks Filipino

I read Power Girl.Why? Well take a look at the cover (art by Sami Basiri) and ask yourself why YOU'RE not reading Power Girl. She is after-all the most "powerful" woman in the DC Universe - if you get my drift.

Anyway, I got a very very pleasant surprise when I picked up issue number 27 written by Matthew Sturges that hit the stand here in Manila on the 17th. So despite the fact that I don't review comic books I just knew that I had to share this with the world: Our majestically endowed super-heroine speaks Filipino (Referred to unfortunately as Tagalog).
