In 2000 I had a dream of creating an online resource for Batman fans. A One stop shop if you will. Over the years there have been some awesome and dedicated fans stepping up to make BatmanYTB what it is today. I’m just a fan, which has taken his love for a character to the next level. BatmanYTB is nothing without you guys, which is why I must ask you for help. In order for BatmanYTB to maintain its level of quality, I am in need of assistance.

Work demands are high and my time on the site isn’t what it used to be. I am looking for someone (Or multiple people) to take what I and so many others have built, and help it grow.

If you are interested in working on one of the oldest and the largest Batman sites on the net, EMAIL ME and let’s talk. I can promise you that it’s worth it!

 

Check out the latest clip from "Justice League: Doom" which features Batman against the Royal Flush Gang.. also check out the special intro only on BatmanYTB!

Ian Abercrombie, who Batman fans will remember as Alfred from the short lived "Birds of Prey" Television series passed away on January 27th, 2012 at the age of 77.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Abercrombie was busy working during the final days of his life. He had reportedly just finished lending his voice to the animated Cartoon Network series, "Green Lantern."

Though Abercrombie did venture into movies, the majority of his career was played out in living rooms across the nation, on TV. Abercrombie earned roles in a breadth of TV genres including parts in "Columbo" (1972), "Who's The Boss" (1985), "Dynasty" (1984-1988), "Birds Of Prey" (2002-2003) and "Desperate Housewives" (2006).

Below you will find an interview that we conducted with Mr. Abercrombie in 2004. Rest in Peace, you will be missed.

---

BYTB: How much research did you do for the role of Alfred?

I.A.: Very little research for Alfred. I had a rough idea what they wanted and after our first meeting everything seemed to fall into place. I did not purposefully copy Alan and Michael, I wanted to bring an essence of my own to the character.

BYTB: Birds of Prey was a good show that could have been great. Do you feel that although the WB ordered the first 13 episodes, that they were against it from the get go?

I.A.: Actually, I was under the impression when we first started that WB was really behind us. Through the grapevine I heard that Levin and Roth were very high on BOP. Somewhere between the Pilot (and the rehoot of same) to about the second episode (SLICK) the budget went skyhigh. I think that WB thought that the series would cost less. Some of it became a bit cheesy. The 13 episodes were ordered on the expectations that BOP would have been a big hit for WB.

BYTB: Fan reaction was mixed. Do you think that if given a full season, more people would have warmed up to it.

I.A.: Part of the fan reaction being so mixed was due I think to the Series not living up to the BATMAN mystique. We were not allowed to use any of the 'villians' as characters, and as you may well feel, a BATMAN story, no matter how diluted NEEDS some of the 'bad guys' to round out the stories, even though the series was about the girls (and their connection to BATMAN).

BYTB: One thing that fans wanted to see was more of the Bat-world, like Wayne Manor, the Batcave, the Bat-Family? and more of the villains. Was this something that the producers were planning?

I.A.: I do believe IF the series had been extended to a full season (and hopefully beyond) we would have seen more of the Cave etc., also, I was promised that Alfred would have played a more prominent role.

BYTB: The New Batman movie has Michael Caine signed on to play Alfred. Is this a role that you would have taken?

I.A.: Dear old Michael Caine. Oh yes, I would have jumped at the chance to play Alfred on the big screen. My name was thrown into the ring at WB, but they wanted a big name to bolster Christian Bale.

BYTB: How does it make you feel knowing that your now a part of the Batman history?

I.A.: In my own little way I suppose I am part of the BATMAN lore, but after all these years I take it in my stride. I just smile when I think about it.

BYTB: What can we look forward to from you in the future?

I.A.: Being in this business for almost 50 years has taught me never to take anything for granted. I really live from one job to the next. I have never had any long range plans. I am a jobbing actor who takes each day as it comes. I have nothing on the horizon (concrete that is) at the moment, a lot of possibilities but nothing to sign on the dotted line

BYTB: Thanks again for your time. It was great talking with you and we wish you luck in the future.

Representing the comic heritage of the Batman™ world, we are proud to bring forth First Appearance Batman™ and Classic Catwoman !

The Batman™ Legacy figure represents the comic look of the Batman™ unleashed in Detective Comics #27. For fans of the entire Batman™ comic world, this figure is a must-have!

The Catwoman Legacy figure comes in her classic purple and green costume, and is ready to take collectors back to the early days when she stole everyone’s heart.

Representing the pop-culture phenomenon Batman™: Arkham City, we can’t wait for fans to get their hands on Harley Quinn and Nightwing!

Harley Quinn may be in love with The Joker, but we are absolutely in love with this Harley Quinn Legacy Edition figure.

And we must have some balance between good and evil in our Arkham City line, so we are thrilled to bring forth Dick Grayson as Nightwing!

Anyone who saw Thursday night's Community on NBC was treated to a great episode heavily based around The Dark Knight. After Abed purchases a special edition $299 DVD set of the film, it becomes allegedly stolen from the apartment, forcing him to take matters into his own hands by childishly dressing in a Batman Begins Halloween costume and investigating in character.

The episode, entitled "Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism," can be watched on Hulu HERE. Or just check out Abed's awful getup HERE.

Discuss "Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism" on our forum HERE!

For those who haven't seen the show, it is awesome! The action is excellently choreographed and maintains a reality that surpasses most current blockbusters, and I'm not just hyping it, the fights are unique and have a weight and reality to them while feeling fresh and like we haven't seen them done this way before. The characters are each well-defined and unique and the character development is well balanced, giving us a bit of new insight each episode as well as having some building love interests just to keep things fun. The stories are drawn right from the comics but are given a dimension of reality that finds them feeling adult. The animation is top notch and overall this show breathes new life into the DC Universe, which has been feeling a bit stale for most since Justice League Unlimited ended.

Just like Season One Volume One, there are four episodes on this DVD. Each episode seems to be a showcase for a particular character being a spoiled brat. Here is a rundown:

Schooled
Superboy’s anger over his non-relationship with Superman is getting out of control. He refuses to train with Black Canary, and when the team faces an opponent that even the Justice League had trouble defeating, the Boy of Steel goes rogue.

Infiltrator
Artemis faces an uphill battle trying to win over her new teammates as she tries to fill Red Arrow's boots on a mission he initiated: saving a brilliant young scientist from the League of Shadows.

Denial
When the team investigates the disappearance of Kent Nelson (formerly Doctor Fate), the scientific-minded Wally West is forced to confront his disbelief in magic while battling Abra Kadabra and Klarion the Witch Boy for the ultra-powerful helmet of fate.

Downtime
After a disastrous mission with the team, Aqualad returns to Atlantis to choose between a life on the surface world … or one beneath the waves with the Aquagirl of his dreams. But other forces are at play, which may make Aqualad's decision for him.

For the hardcore collector, this is a must have, for those who prefer box sets, hold off.

Empire Magazine reveals subscribers-only cover and news that The Dark Knight Rises takes place eight years after The Dark Knight.

Christopher Nolan on The Dark Knight Rises:

"Our story picks up EIGHT years after The Dark Knight".

In terms of finishing our story and increasing its scope, we were trying to craft an epic"
"It's really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne's story. We left him in a very precarious place. Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after The Dark Knight. So he's an older Bruce Wayne; he's not in a great state. With our choice of villain and with our choice of story we are testing Batman both physically as well as mentally. Also, in terms of finishing the our story and increasing its scope, we were trying to craft epic so the physicality of the film became very important."

BATMAN BEYOND will come out as individual chapters prior to (and in conjunction with) the collected, 48-page monthly BATMAN BEYOND UNLIMITED print edition.

And in BATMAN BEYOND, from Adam Beecham and Norm Breyfogle, McGinnis? and Bruce Wayne face an onslaught of Jokerz – and the return of an old foe.

Catwoman animated short premiere is centerpiece of DC Universe Animated Panel at New York Comic Con

Eliza Dushku reprises Batman: Year One role as Selina Kyle/Catwoman in 15-minute short; Animation guru Bruce Timm, nine-time Emmy-winning dialogue director Andrea Romano and fan favorite voice of Batman Kevin Conroy to also discuss upcoming Justice League: Doom

Warner Home Video will present the world premiere of Catwoman, the latest addition to the DC Showcase Animated Shorts series, as part of its DC Universe Animated panel on Friday, October 14 from 3:00-4:00 p.m. in the IGN Theater at New York Comic Con.

Catwoman is included in the October 18 Blu-ray/DVD release of Batman: Year One, the next entry in the popular, ongoing series of DC Universe Animated Original Movies.

The panel includes animation legend Bruce Timm, nine-time Emmy Award-winning dialogue director Andrea Romano, and the fan favorite voice of Batman, Kevin Conroy. The panelists will discuss the Catwoman short, the upcoming release of Batman: Year One, and next spring’s release of Justice League: Doom.

The world premiere of the Justice League: Doom trailer is another New York Comic Con exclusive to be unveiled during the panel.

Catwoman/Selina Kyle is voiced by Eliza Dushku, well known for her television roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Tru Calling and Dollhouse. The 15-minute short is penned by respected comics/animation writer Paul Dini.

The short finds Catwoman posing as an “entertainer” in a strip club to get close to black market diamond smuggler Rough Cut – who doesn’t take kindly to Catwoman’s interference in his business, leading to an all-out battle through the streets of Gotham City.

“When Alan Burnett and I first started discussing the idea of a Catwoman short, we both agreed that we wanted to make the story and the settings as adult as we could,” Dini explains. “The world of burlesque has returned in a big way to the contemporary consciousness, and that proved to be a very natural setting for this Catwoman story. At the time I wrote the initial screenplay, I didn't know the short would be paired up with Batman: Year One, but the steamy setting that Selina inhabits in that book also proved to be ideal for the short.”

For the short, Dini created the character Rough Cut, a villain whose smuggling interests beyond diamonds catches Catwoman’s attention.

“I liked the idea of a villain who was obsessed with diamonds, but as this story takes place in the down and dirty side of Gotham, I felt the bad guy couldn't be too glamorous,” Dini says. “I came up with the name Rough Cut both to describe the man and the kinds of crude, unfinished diamonds he pedals. There's always a market for industrial diamonds, but lately Rough Cut has been feeling the economic pinch, so he's smuggling more precious cargo. That's what brings Catwoman into the picture.”

Dushku was very happy to return to her Batman: Year One role, having already taken equity in the part of Catwoman/Selina Kyle. Dushku has definitely found a clear understanding of her character’s emotional make-up.

“A lot of people are familiar with the characters I’ve played – these strong and vicious women who are, very deep down inside, really wounded women with an entirely unexpected side, so there’s nothing black and white about them,” Dushku says. “I think people identify with the characters I play because even though they do terrible things, there’s a humanity there. They’ve got lots of layers. They’re not just good or evil. Selina is a prostitute, and she’s abrasive and in your face, but she also has this maternal, protective, loyal quality to her. Her relationship with Holly is a perfect example – it shows a side you might not expect.”

Month Two is going strong for the new DCU, here's a peak at the Batman related titles coming out on Wednesday!

Primetime Television Stars Nathan Fillion & Tim Daly join heroic cast of Justice League: Doom

Warner Home Video to distribute DC Universe Animated Original Movie in early 2012;

Eight Justice League TV series alums featured in voice cast

Prime-time television stars Nathan Fillion and Tim Daly, the reigning voices of Green Lantern and Superman, respectively, join an exciting group of actors reprising their famed cartoon roles in Justice League: Doom, an all-new entry in the popular series of DC Universe Animated Original Movies due in early 2012 from Warner Home Video.

Justice League: Doom finds Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Cyborg and Batman on their heels when a team of super villains discover and implement the Dark Knight’s “contingency plans” for stopping any rogue Justice League member. The story is inspired by Mark Waid’s much-heralded “JLA: Tower of Babel.”

Fillion, the star of ABC’s hit TV drama Castle, made his debut as Green Lantern/Hal Jordan in the recent Green Lantern: Emerald Knights. Fillion made his initial DCU bow as the voice of Steve Trevor in the 2008 hit Wonder Woman.

Currently headlining the cast of ABC’s popular Private Practice, Daly originated the title character’s voice in the landmark cartoon, Superman: The Animated Series. He has reprised the role in two DCU films: the 2009 extravaganza Superman/Batman: Public Enemies and the 2010 thriller Superman/Batman: Apocalypse.

In addition to current primetime stars Fillion and Daly, the cast is a grand reunion of the original group of actors who provided the voices of the Justice League for the cartoon of the same name and its follow-up, Justice League Unlimited. Reprising their roles are Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series) as Batman, Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville, Breaking In) as Flash, Susan Eisenberg (Superman/Batman: Apocalypse) as Wonder Woman and Carl Lumbly (Alias) as J’onn J’onzz/Martian Manhunter. Bumper Robinson (A Different World, Transformers: Animated) joins the cast as Cyborg.

The Justice League faces two sets of villainous teams in the film – The Royal Flush Gang and a sextet of notable evildoers. The latter group includes three voice acting alumni of the Justice League animated series: Phil Morris (Smallville, Seinfeld) as Vandal Savage, Olivia d’Abo (The Wonder Years) as Star Sapphire, and Alexis Denisof (Angel) as Mirror Master. Also opposing our heroes are Carlos Alazraqui (Reno 911) as Bane, Paul Blackthorne (The Dresden Files) as Metallo, and Claudia Black (Farscape, Stargate SG-1) as Cheetah.

David Kaufman (Danny Phantom) also reprises his Justice League role of Jimmy Olsen.

The film is executive produced by Bruce Timm (Batman: Year One), and directed by Lauren Montgomery (Batman: Year One), who is also credited as producer alongside Alan Burnett (Batman: The Animated Series). Justice League: Doom is the final script from the late Dwayne McDuffie? (All-Star Superman, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths). Casting and dialogue direction is once again in the capable hands of Andrea Romano (Batman: Year One, SpongeBob? SquarePants).

Warner Home Video will premiere the Justice League: Doom trailer during its presentation at New York Comic Con on Friday, October 14 from 3:00-4:00 p.m. in the IGN Theater. Also premiering during that session will be the Catwoman animated short that is attached to Batman: Year One, the next DC Universe Animated Movie (streeting October 18).
