Commissioner Gordon Gets His Own Show!

Fox picks up Warner Bros.' GOTHAM with The Mentalist creator, Bruno Heller, taking lead. Deadline reports that we will see the origin stories of Commissioner James Gordon and some of Gotham City's most notorious villains.

In GOTHAM, James Gordon will be a detective for the GCPD and has yet to meet Batman, who will not be part of the series. (This could possibly mean that Bruce Wayne has not yet returned from his travels) No word yet if we'll also see Harvey Bullock or Renee Montoya or that hot-head John Blake (is there a YouTube video of all the times John Blake was called a hot-head in TDKR?).

Interesting to see Warner Bros. and Fox developing another DC show while developing the Flash show as an ARROW spinoff. While it would be kind of cool to see some intertwining of the series, it is highly doubtful. So if you were suddenly hoping for Kelly Hu's China White and the Triad to come through or for Gothamites to get hooked on Vertigo and James Gordon going after The Count played by Seth Gabel, it's unlikely at this point. You can still hope.

James Gordon is one of the most prominent mortals in the DC Universe and his back story has been touched upon in several books, most notably in the BatGirl and in Detective Comics. Hopefully GOTHAM delves into Gordon's marriage(s), little nut-job James Jr., and of course his relationship with daughter, Barbara.

It's also worth noting that 2003, The WB Network was close to putting out an adaptation of the GOTHAM CENTRAL comic book which would focused on some of GCPD's Renee Montoya, Crispus Allen, Josie Mac, Marcus Driver and Commissioner Gordon.. The plans were scrapped when Birds of Prey was cancelled and a moratorium was placed on producing anything Bat-related.

James Gordon was introduced in 1939 in the very first Batman comic. He has since been played by Gary Oldman in Nolan's Batman movies, Neil Hamilton in the 1960's Batman series, and Pat Hingle in Burton/Schumacher era. Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston provided James Gordon's voice in the animated movie, Batman: Year One.

SUPER PAJAMAS! Geeky Sleepwear!

The summer is over. The temperatures are cooling down and as the song goes, "...the weather outside is weather." You should consider getting yourself some onesie pajaamas to keep you warm and cozy as you tear through GTA-V. Hey, if you get invited to a Pajama Party, you don't want to be the jerk that came wearing sweats or flannel pajamas with your school's name down the leg. So when you sit around the living room with friends playing Mafia or Cards Against Humanity, look styling.

From WebUndies.com:
The onesies on this site average $38.00. Not all of them have feet and if you're representing the Caped Crusader or the Man of Tomorrow, there's a detachable cape.

If you plan to explore the final frontier before going to bed, check out the officially licensed Star Trek Footed Pajamas available at JumpinJammers.com:

For the more discerning Star Fleet officer, check out the 2 piece pajamas from SuperHeroStuff.com:

Also available at SuperHeroStuff.com is the Doctor Who Fourth Doctor Robe:

Prefer that your jammies be bigger on the inside? Head over to BBCShop.com:

You guys, officially licensed Star Wars character onesies exist, but only in the UK. What's up with that? (Or if you're in the UK: Hell Yeah!) They also ship to most countries in the EU. I bet if you contact Red5.co.uk's customer service, they might be able to take care of you. Maybe your European pen-pal, Twitter friend, or buddy that's doing a study-abroad program can help you out.

And for the ladies who want something with more slink, WebUndies.com:

Here's a tip, if you get pajamas to emulate your favorite caped superhero, head over to a fabric store and buy a few yards of fleece or flannel to make an even bigger/better cape. It'll also double as a blanket and will look cooler than just tying a bed sheet around your neck. Just keep in mind that a decent hero/villain cape, when laid flat, is a half or quarter of a circle.

I hope some of this helped you find some awesome pajamas for you or a friend.

Batman: The Great Debate

Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill

Batman vs Superman

I am in the camp of people that really loved Man of Steel. I am in the camp that was stunned by the casting of Ben Affleck as the next Batman.

That is where I stood on that fateful day of casting news.

This tweet from one of my favorite twitterers helped me move on from the now notorious Batfleck explosion:

WEEELLLLLL, yeah. True dat.

Wow, I was so upset by Ruffalo as the Hulk in the early casting days, but then as we all know, he went and nailed it.

Nailed. It.

In less than a day there were posts from varying geek sites arguing why Affleck is actually a good casting choice. Even Joss Whedon gave his stamp of approval via his twitter; he also recommended that we go read this:

WOW. Well said, Mr. Oswalt. Color me corrected and intrigued.

SO, with that, I now join the quest with countless masses of other nerdlings to search for the Caped Crusader in Mr. Affleck via his movies. I'm going to rewatch certain films of his with the fresh perspective that he's gonna be Batman.

JOIN ME! Together we can rule the ga-- I mean, join me in this quest. I'll be live tweeting, too, if you don't have time to watch the movies. I shall do a follow-up post after I complete my movie crusade! Watch this space!

To Seek The Holy Grail,

The Joker and Harley Quinn in Real Life! Mark Hamill and Tara Strong

Mr. J and Harley...I mean Tara Strong and Mark Hamill having a fun little moment while working on "Ben 10."

(via @TaraStrong and @HamillHimself*)
..................................................................................................................................................................

*Just wanted to note that I am not copying Mark Hamill's Twitter and I've been using the "TerrHimself" moniker for about 10 years now. For all I know, that dude is totally copying me.
Same with Neil Gaiman.

BatFleck Rises - Ben Affleck cast as Batman

Yes, you read that headline correctly. Ben Affleck has been cast as Batman.

Warner Bros. announced on Thursday that the two-time Oscar winner, former DareDevil, People Magazine's 2002 Sexiest Man Alive, Affleck will don the cape and cowl in 2015's untitled Batman-Superman movie. Greg Silverman, Warner Bros’ President of Creative Development and Worldwide Production, said, "We knew we needed an extraordinary actor to take on one of DC Comics’ most enduringly popular Super Heroes, and Ben Affleck certainly fits that bill, and then some... His outstanding career is a testament to his talent, and we know he and Zack will bring new dimension to the duality of this character."

Zack Snyder went on the record to say this about Affleck: "He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can’t wait to work with him."

Ben Affleck will join the cast of returning actors from this Summer's Man Of Steel, which include Henry Cavill, who will reprise the role of Superman/Clark Kent, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane. David S. Goyer, who scripted the MOS and worked on the Dark Knight trilogy, will write the sequel. Warner Bros has set the film to open worldwide on July 17, 2015.

The WB's President of Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Susan Kroll, added, “We are so thrilled that Ben is continuing Warner Bros.’ remarkable legacy with the character of Batman. He is a tremendously gifted actor who will make this role his own in this already much-anticipated pairing of these two beloved heroes.”

Ben Affleck now joins the special fraternity of those who have worn the cape in front of a camera; Christian Bale (3x), George Clooney (once), Val Kilmer (once), Michael Keaton (twice), and Adam West (1 movie + 120 episodes of tv).

And DareDevil? Yeah he didn't like that movie any more than the fans did. Check out his thoughts on that in Details.
And in an interview with MTV, "We missed a lot in that movie..."

Justin Gordon-Levitt the next caped crusader?

[MoriArty]

According to HitFix.com Warner Brothers is set to continue Nolan's Batman and cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the next Batman in the forthcoming Justice League movie tentatively scheduled to come out in 2015. With Nolan stating he won't have any involvement in the JLA movie, this is as close as Warner Brothers is going to get to continuing the story line Nolan created in the Dark Knight trilogy. This casting would make the most sense since the JLA movie will not be in the same universe as the Batman movies as this would be as close as DC could get to having some sort of continuous universe, which Marvel has successfully done with their Avengers franchise.
