The DVD Patrol has had a lot of heroes lately and I thought it would be only natural to throw in some choices with a very special column. The new movie “Green Lantern” starring Ryan Reynolds comes out today and when you read comics, he comes from the same company as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. These movies have been mostly accepted by the public and the movie industry even for those that don’t read comic books. Here are the choices that the Toddster has picked out from the vaults and may be headed for some live action formats too.
From the Patrol Vault
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies - Heroes have to deal with things all the time they don’t like. For Superman, that’s an understatement. Lex Luthor has been a thorn in his side and he’s been trying to kill him for years. Lex has a new job that no one thought he would get. Becoming President of the United States. A Kryptonite asteroid has been discovered the size of Metropolis heading for the Earth. Batman tells Superman and Lex has made the same discovery too. Lex wants to make a truce with the Man of Steel and he actually seems sincere. Knowing how long Lex has been trying to kill him, he can’t resist to make one more try. Superman manages to escape and with Batman’s help, they go on the run. Lex declares them to be enemies of the state and the two heroes go on the run. A $1 Million dollar bounty is put on their heads and it brings out Super Villians and Heroes too. Will the Dark Knight and Man of Tomorrow stop the President and the threat to the Earth? Christopher Nolan and Zach Snyder (300) have joined forces to produce “Superman: The Man of Steel” with an all new cast and set for release December 2012.
Superman/Batman: Apocalypse - Help arrives from the strangest places. Something crashes in Gotham City and Batman goes to investigate. He hears reports of a young girl on the run from the Police who can’t be hurt and has heat blasts coming from her eyes. During the chase, she causes some aircraft to crash and it becomes a job for Superman. With Superman’s help, Batman is able to save Gotham and stop the young girl before she can cause any more damage. They discover that the girl is Kara and she is Superman’s cousin. Superman tries to do what he can to make her settle in as easy as possible but Batman is still suspicious of the new arrival. Wonder Woman arrives to assist Batman because they know Kara will need training and their enemies may try to hurt Kara or use her against Superman. Darkseid has set his eyes on Kara and will do anything he can to kill Superman. Can they save Kara and stop Darkseid before it’s too late? Christopher Nolan is also working on “The Dark Knight Rises” right now and will be released in July 2012.
