Adam West Returns in Batman '66 Animated Movie

Although Adam West and Burt Ward have starred in films and television shows before and since, the 1960s Batman series remains their most iconic project -- and they say they're returning for more.

Over the weekend at Mad Monster Con in Charlotte, North Carolina, the actors who played Batman and Robin in the campy live-action show announced on a panel that they're voicing thier characters in a full-length animated movie.

"You can look forward to a new, animated Batman full-length 90-minute feature coming out on the fiftieth anniversary," said Ward. "One of possibly two, but for sure one, that Adam and I are going to be doing the voices for."

Lenni Reviews - "Lisa Simpson's Guide to Geek Chic"

These adorable little books are kinda hard to review. They're not a full story or anything but they make good collectibles or coffee table books for an avid Simpsons enthusiast. There are pullouts, quizzes, and some amusing geek facts as told by our favorite geek girl, Lisa Simpson. There's even a little pocket in the back so you can write your future geek self a letter and see how far you've come with your geek lessons and compare them to your past self. 

If you're like me and are super scared to so much as scratch a page in a book with your fingernail much less write all over it, this book is still a worthwhile purchase if you love Lisa. It even includes vegetarian recipes you can try. It seems a little pricey to me for such a small book at $24.99, but I'm sure if you're a fan, it's worth every cent.

X-Men: Apocalypse Casts Lana Condor as Jubilee

Director Bryan Singer dropped a bomb on X-men fans, that we’ll see Jubilation Lee in the upcoming sequel to X-Men: Days of Future Past, titled X-Men: Apocalypse played by newcomer Lana Condor!

Condor joins an already robust cast that includes Alexandra Shipp (House of Anubis) as Storm, Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones) as Jean Grey, and Tye Sheridan (Mud) as play Cyclops. Last month, it was revealed that Austrlian actor Kodi Smit-McPhee will be playing Nightcrawler.

As for her character, Jubilee, a.k.a. Jubilation Lee, is a mutant with the power to generate pyrotechnic energy plasmoids from her hands. She was the X-Men's youngest member in the early '90s, and developed a father-daughter-like relationship with Wolverine.

A Wolverine tie-in with the film has yet to be mentioned officially, but Hugh Jackman -- who has played the character in just about every major motion picture of late -- is rumored to make a cameo. It'll be interesting to see how the two interact in X-Men: Apocalypse.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is more than just a parade of heroes, and a new image just revealed is reminding us of that.

Entertainment Weekly has posted a new photograph of Jesse Eisenberg in the first official look of him as the bald Lex Luthor.

“He’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure,” director Zack Snyder says to EW, “other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course.”

Snyder goes on to state that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's Lex is "disarming and he's not fake."

“He says what he believes and he says what’s on his mind," says the director. "If you can unravel the string and decipher what he means, it’s all there.”
