Amazing Realities

This is the first week of a little something I like to call “The Video Round-Up” where we take all the new trailers and other videos from the week and it put all in one place for you.

Batman: Gotham Knight- First Look

This is a first look at the the new Batman anime anthology, produced as a part of the new DC Animated Universe film series. It contains interviews with several of the big talents on the American side of the collaboration, it’s a good 10 minutes long so sit back and enjoy.

And for those of you just looking for the anime segments from the video luckily enough I was bored enough to put together a little video for you (Yes, I was really fucking bored).

Release Date- July 2008

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

This past week brought with it the first teaser trailer for the hotly anticipated Indiana Jones 4!

Although not technically comic related, you’ll be hard pressed to find a geek not anticipating this film, especially after viewing this fantastic trailer. The smartest thing is still to keep your expectations on check, but this teaser is definitely reassuring.

Release Date- May 22, 2008

Justice League: The New Frontier

This one is nothing new, but I’m sticking it up here since the DVD is being released next week.

Our review Justice League: The New Frontier will be up this week so make sure to check back soon!

Release Date- February 22, 2008

From CNN, it appears that Heath Ledger’s death was a result of accidental overdose:

“Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine,” the office said in a short statement.

“We have concluded that the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications.”

Hydrocodone and oxycodone are painkillers. Diazepam is an anti-anxiety drug commonly sold under the brand name Valium; alprazolam is also an anti-anxiety drug sold under such names as Xanax. Temazepam, sold under such names as Restoril and Euhypnos, is a sleeping agent. Doxylamine, an antihistamine, can be obtained over the counter as a sleep aid.

Ledger died January 22 at an apartment in Lower Manhattan. The Oscar-nominated Australian actor, best known for his role as a stoic, closeted cowboy in the 2005 film “Brokeback Mountain,” was 28.

It’s truly saddening to see such a great talent die so young, but hopefully alleviates the stress on his friends and family members who pondered over the past two weeks over whether his death was an intentional suicide. His final full starring role in the new Batman film, “The Dark Knight” will open on July 18th.
