I'll admit. As a little starfish, I never found time to do my homework until the bus ride to school. I would furiously scribble out that day's tasks on the bus ride to school. As an adult, I haven't gotten any better. Rich suggested I cover the Dark Knight Returns Part II panel today, not knowing that I had never seen part one. Fortunately I have a lifetime of procrastination experience under my belt to recover with style. This morning, I threw on the Starro costume, threw back a 5hr energy, and threw open the iTunes Store to take in the latest offering from Warner Brothers Animated.

Holy Shit Balls Batman!

I have never seen a better, more faithful adaptation of a graphic novel. Ever! I'm still shaking.

Now that I'm up to date, I'll take a break from writing this article to let Bruce Timm and co. tantalize me with the second half of their magnum opus.

Holy Double Shit Balls Batman!

I've just seen footage from part 2 and definitely does justice to the graphic novel. Michael Emerson's joker is unlike any rendition prior, a conscious casting decision made by Andrea Romano. In addition, Conan O'Brien makes a cameo as the talkshow host killed by the Joker. In addition to the footage, some other news was dropped.

A Lego Batman movie is set to drop in 2013
Speaking of 2013, we can expect a Superman Ungrounded, based on Geoff Johns's Braniac storyline. And Justice League: Flashpoint, which begs the question: Will the Timmverse cease to exist after this movie?

I, for one, am excited. Can't wait for another slate of DC Animated goodness.
