Exclusive Interview: “Batman: The Imposter” Author Mattson Tomlin & Artist Andrea Sorrentino

 

In Batman Begins, Bruce Wayne explains to Alfred that, “As a man, I’m flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed; but as a symbol…as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.” But in the new graphic novel Batman: The Imposter (hardcover, Kindle), Bruce finds out the hard way that symbols can be corrupted, too. In the following email interview, Imposter writer Mattson Tomlin and artist Andrea Sorrentino discuss what inspired and influenced this corruptible copycat tale.

Justice League Blu-ray, 4K, DVD Review

Though it had flaws which kept it from being DC’s answer to Marvel’s Avengers, the super hero team-up movie Justice League did end up being a halfway decent superhero action flick. Not surprisingly, the home version — which is available as a Blu-ray, DVD, digital combo pack; a 3D Blu-ray, DVD, digital combo pack; a 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, digital combo pack; and on DVD — also ends up being fun but flawed. Or maybe that should be flawed but fun.

Batman And Harley Quinn Blu-ray, DVD Review

One month after releasing the first Batman: The Animated Series movie, Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm, on Blu-ray, Warner Brothers are following it up with the latest spin-off from that ‘toon, Batman And Harley Quinn, which is available on Blu-ray/DVD/digital combo pack; 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray/digital combo pack, DVD, and in a limited edition gift set that pairs the Blu-ray/DVD/digital combo pack with a 4″-tall Harley Quinn toy. But while Batman And Harley Quinn may not be as good as Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm, or as strongly connected and aligned with Batman: The Animated Series, it’s still a worthy addition to any Bat-fans collection.

The LEGO Batman Movie Blu-ray, DVD Review

Like The LEGO Movie from which it was spawned, The LEGO Batman Movie is a weird and clever stop-motion animated movie that’s like the Robot Chicken DC Comics episodes if that show had a bigger budget, a longer runtime, and was made for all-ages. Well, maybe not that good. But if you enjoyed The LEGO Batman Movie when you saw it in theaters, you’ll like it just as much at home, whether you get the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, the 3D Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, or even the DVD, as they all come packed with fun extras that include even more of The Dork Knight.

Suicide Squad Extended Cut Blu-ray, DVD review

Like Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice before it, Suicide Squad was a comic book adaptation that got some things right but most things wrong. So it’s fitting that the Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, 4K Blu-ray, and DVD of the Suicide Squad Extended Cut — which includes both the original and a longer version of the film as well as a compliment of extras — would be equally uneven.

Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice Ultimate Edition Blu-ray, DVD Review

Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice was not the grand slam that either DC Comics or their fans were hoping from the second chapter in DC’s cinematic universe. But for those who did enjoy the movie, the Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice Ultimate Edition (Blu-ray, Ultra HD Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, DVD) is, for the most part, a good way to experience it again, as it not only includes tons of extras, but also has both the original and an interesting longer cut of the movie.
