Dangit, Tangeled!  We were all ready to snub you after some knucklehead decided that you wouldn’t become the next beautiful 2D animated movie to come out of Disney, and instead would be handed over to Disney’s CGI studio.  No matter how beautiful your concept art was.

In fact, we wanted to snub you because of how beautiful your concept art was.  We want to see that stuff drawn into motion!

But now there are these videos of actual footage, and it’s really pretty, and pretty funny, and clearly has some great character animation, and…

ಠ_ಠ

Stop messing with our heads.

(via Bleeding Cool, more videos here.)

No one was really allowed to film in the preview rooms of New York Comic Con, but we know that doesn’t actually stop people.  And for hand-cam footage, this actually ain’t that bad.

Although I could nitpick about some of the dialogue and Batman appearing in broad daylight, overall, the show looks worth checking out.  The animation is slick, and, as a Bruce Timm/Paul Dini-verse fan, not a style that I’m used to seeing my heroes in.

But seriously where are the girls.  Not even one?  We know that Miss Martian and Artemis (that’s Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman’s proteges) are in the show.  Why didn’t they make the preview?

This Sunday’s Non Sequitur cartoon features a pretty simple joke: what if you replaced Waldo with some one else? Please note (by clicking the image above for the full version) that an image of the prophet of Islam does not appear. Anywhere in the panel.

(Actually, I was kind of angry when I read it in the paper, because I felt it was nerd sniping me. Of course, now I have to check and see if you actually put him in there, and see just how far your punchline goes. Make me work, why don’t you.)

Anyway, despite actually not having an image of the prophet Muhammed, some papers apparently declined to run it yesterday.

This is part of what is apparently a cover of one of the upcoming Bruce Wayne: The Return Home books, featuring Batman and Robin jumping off a building, away from an explosion. Also, somebody is shooting lasers at them. Well, one of them looks like it might be a freeze ray.

(It’s the spiraling secondary ray that gives it away.)

Oh, and there are some giant letters that look like they used to spell out the f-word.

In an open letter published on the Video Game Voter’s Network website, Stan Lee has thrown his support behind the game merchants of Schwarzenegger, Gov. of CA V. Entertainment Merchants, Et Al., the case headed for the Supreme Court which will give a federal ruling on whether it is constitutional to prohibit minors from purchasing violent games.

Lee makes very appropriate comparisons between the current mainstream worry about children playing violent games and the same fears about crime and horror comics in the nineteen fifties. Hopefully the public’s fears of video gaming can be resolved without a restrictive self-imposed system of censorship that artistically hobbled the industry for a decade and a half.

We’ve excerpted some of Lee’s letter below:
