COMIC BOOK WEDNESDAY #GayNrd‘s Daily round-up of news, art, and ephemera from the all corners of the interwebz and social media for Wednesday May 12, 2021. Art above Bat Manga *Robert Pattinson edition. The Batman is currently scheduled to hit theaters on March 4, 2022.
A LEAKED PROMO image of Pattison as Batman circulated Twitter Wednesday. Heroic Hollywood: Thanks to a gritty trailer set to Nirvana’s “Something In The Way” and a highly qualified cast in tow, The Batman is set to be one of DC’s more unique solo offerings. Branched off of Ben Affleck’s canceled solo Batman picture, Robert Pattinson’s take on The Dark Knight will see the character in his second year of crime-fighting, taking on the likes of The Riddler, Catwoman Carmine Falcone, and the Penguin. Unfortunately, fans haven’t gotten a solid look at Pattinson’s Batman since last summer’s trailer. However, a brand new photo of The Dark Knight has made its way online, providing fans a great new look at The Caped Crusader.

He can’t let Owlman know he’s getting close. Dick Grayson creates a new identity for himself, Police Officer John Blake, and goes undercover to get close to where Bruce thinks Owlman is hiding. The biggest rule is that Dick cannot tip his hand at all, he cannot act as a vigilante

The Mary Sue: So is this true? Are we really going to get two versions of the point in the movie? Well, first they’d have to stop trying to lie to all of us about Maguire and Garfield. The issue with No Way Home is that everyone is trying to keep things secret as if we don’t all know that Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire are almost definitely in this movie. (I say almost because if I’m wrong, I do not want to be yelled at, but like come on.)

PROUD FAMILY REBOOT OUT Magazine: If you watched Proud Family growing up — you know the cartoon that Destiny’s Child and Solange Knowles did the theme song for — we have some news that you probably didn’t see coming. Zachary Quinto and Billy Porter are joining in the fold as a pair of gay parents.
The Proud Family will be revived in the new series The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, set for Disney+. The series is bringing back the original cast and apparently a few new names. Among the newbies: Quinto and Porter who are set to play Barry Leibowitz-Jenkins and Randall Leibovitz-Jenkins respectively. They will pose as the adoptive parents to the 14-year-old Maya Leibowitz-Jenkins, set to be voiced by Keke Palmer.

REBUTTAL to the Reddit user who asked if Justice League Detroit “is the lamest iteration of the JLA?” from Legends #1, drawn by John Byrne. The lamest? We argue perhaps the greatest! #GayNrd‘s Dekker Dreyer says, “If [Marvel Studio head] Kevin Feige was in charge of the DC movies we’d already be looking forward to Bwana Beast 2 this Summer, not rebooting Batman again.”
Who would like to stay here? ????”
