So yeah a bunch of pictures from comic con :D

Sorry guys I know this is really late but thought you may want to take a look all the same

Comic Trivia Of The Day - Hush

Today we will be looking at one of my personal favorite villains hush. 

Thomas Elliot aka hush is one of smartest villains that has ever been in Gotham city.  
Hush and Batman have a strange relationship due to the fact hush wants to ruin Bruce Wayne but runs to him for help. 

One incident that happens between hush and batman which shows this is when a bomb is planted within hush's body by the joker. 
This in turn leads to Hush seeking Batman's help to remove the bomb. What happens after this point is that batman lies to hush and actually leaves the bomb within his body meaning that hush could be sentenced to death and batman would have been the reason why Tommy Elliot had died. Not the usual mind-frame for the bat.....

Comic-com, wooooo!!!!

As you may or may not know, the MCM expo is coming to London, UK once again and I've finally got my ticket (not to brag but yay me :P). By purchasing an early entrance weekend ticket for less than £30(!) I want to provide a little diary of what will be going on there and maybe I'll get to talk to a few famous people as well. Comic-legend Mr. Stan Lee was at the convention last year so hopefully the line-up is as good.

As most of you may know this is also an excuse to do my first bit of cosplaying, which I'm really excited about! The plan is to go as Thomas 'Tommy' Elliot, better known throughout the DC world as Hush from Batman. Hopefully I'll be able to upload a picture of the finished product soon enough. Hopefully it doesn't suck too much.
Any ideas of what I should look at or do there would be great and if you comment below that would be awesome.

If you want to go to the MCM expo in London I've put a link at the bottom from where you cab buy the tickets (from the official MCM London site)
Also, another link below is the music video that MCM made with all the cos-players from last year.

Hope you guys and girls enjoy it and hopefully you'll give the diary a read in May.

Remember to +1 and follow the blog (only got atm :/) also tell you're friends and will hopefully see you guys in London some time soon :)

Greatest Comic Book Villains Ever Series- Batman Pt. 1

Ok so in this post we will be looking at the first bunch of DC villains and I thought what better comic to look at? Also helps that these are my favourite comics. Because there are so many potential winners from these comics that is going to be done in two parts with part 2 being uploaded a couple of days after this one. Okay so the list of villains for part one is: The Joker, Two-Face, Hush and Mr Freeze.

The Joker

The Joker is without question Batman’s greatest enemy of all time, attacking and killing people close to him. For example, Joker beat the crap out of the original Robin killing him as well as shooting and paralysing Barbara Gordon (Batgirl/Oracle). The Jokers insanity, along with a variety of weapons, mean you can never predict The Joker  as well as never knowing when or how he is going to kill someone. His obsession with Batman and destruction makes The Joker extremely dangerous to anyone who comes into contact with. Also The Joker is known to manipulate people, including other super villains, to get what he wants as well as giving him the edge in a fight.

Two-Face

A bipolar schizophrenic who is obsessed with his two faced coin, of which he cannot function or live without. Using his coin to determine the fate of his enemies Two-Face can use it to determine methods of killing as opposed to just whether or not he could kill someone. Two-Face’s previous experience as district attorney means that her is very influential, amassing a massive gang to take down his rivals.

Hush

Hush is obsessed with Bruce Wayne rather than Batman which is unlike most of the other villains in the book. So obsessed in fact that he removed his own face and grafted on a new one, just to look exactly like Bruce. His excellent surgical skills along with his dual-pistols means that Hush could kill you in a number of ways including torture in the form of removing the victims face whilst still conscious. His bandaged head is also used to install fear into his victims.

Mr Freeze

Mr Freeze is a man who turned to crime in order to save the love of his life Nora. If her safety is threatened in anyway at all, Freeze will go on a rampage looking for the accused. Wielding an ice cannon, which can freeze anything on the spot, as well as his special cooling suit with additional weaponry, make Mr Freeze a dangerous foe indeed.  To get him into the fight Nora would have to be taken and her resurrection would be his prize.

FIGHT 1:Joker VS Mr Freeze

Okay so the Joker has the speed advantage where as Freeze has the power along with the dangerous ice cannon. Joker has an arsenal of different weaponry though which could cause serious damage to Mr Freeze. All though his Joker venom would have no effect on Freeze, due to him being inside a suit, his other weapons could cause serious damage to Freeze, shutting down his suit and causing him to die.

WINNER: Joker

FIGHT 2:Hush VS Two-Face

Both wield pistols and would have an excellent stand-off. Maybe Hush would have the psychological edge over Two-Face if he made references about healing his scarred face, but that might not really bother Two-Face. A close quarter combat would lead to Two-Face being defeated in the fight and subsequently be executed. 

WINNER: Hush

FINAL FIGHT: Joker VS Hush 

Both of these villains can actually carry themselves in a fist fight with both having different styles. Hush more aggressive as opposed to The Joker who has a more flamboyant style. Joker would probably try to psych Hush out with his erratic behaviour, causing Hush to be distracted and that is when the Joker will get the killer blow.

WINNER: JOKER

Batman Villain Part 2

Eventually Franco became the chief of medicine at the Arkham Asylum due to a close relationship with Hugo Strange. From his new position, Franco was able to gain access to all of the criminals files allowing him to learn the true identity of the Scarecrow (Jonathan Crane).

Re-reading the files over and over again, his levels of obsession rose once again pushing him further into insanity. During the Arkham Asylum takeover by the inmates, due to Harley Quinn releasing the Joker, Franco fled until he transformed into the Messiah, returning to the island through a secret passage that was constructed for Victor Zsasz allowing him to escape multiple times. The Messiah hunted down the Scarecrow, who by this point had joined forces with the Joker and Mr Zsasz.  Franco tracked down the sewers as he witnessed Batman try to apprehend Crane. Franco watched from the shadows as Crane was pulled under the water by Killer Croc. Enraged that he wasn’t the one to kill Crane, Franco fled the island on a spare titan container, avoiding the police and any inmates that had escaped.

After realising that his aim in life had been stolen from him, Franco checked himself into the metropolis city asylum  ensuring that none of the inmates would recognise him. Abandoning the messiah persona , Franco decided to spend his riches on running his own private medical school. He had an excellent pupils such as Thomas Elliot, later to be known as Hush, Franco’s arch enemy. After discovering that Elliot was Hush , Franco plunged two needles full of hydrogen peroxide causing the red blood cells in Hush’s body to burst causing his internal organs to start shutting down. Although Hush survived, Franco kept his bandages, coat and gloves as a little memento, storing them in a glass cabinet proudly on display. With his psyche broken, Franco created a new identity, the Collector, donning his old leather coat and newly designed metallic gloves (now soaked in concentrate sulphuric acid to cause burns to the victims as well as soaking into their bloodstream). He now wore a newly designed black mask which he wore a top hat in top of it. Wearing  blood red trousers and spiked, knee high boots, the Collector was born.

Once Franco had revived his role as an extreme vigilante, he started hunting down the only remaining member of the group that ruined his life, the crime lord of the underworld, Black Mask. Franco tracked down Roman Sionis and beat him within an inch of his life, refusing to kill Sionis because the Franco side of the Collector was still strong enough to oppose against his bodies actions. Like with Hush, the Collector stripped Black Mask of his suit, his gun and of course his mask to add to his own collection.

With his medical school now failing since the departure of Thomas Elliot, who was still on life support, and his other students simply not making the cut, Franco dived into drink and depression. This boosted the darker sides of Franco’s brilliant, yet fractured mind. The Collector soon fully took over Franco’s mind, shutting down his medical school and turning it into a sort of museum in which the Collector could show off his trophies collected from his fallen adversaries. The Collectors next conquest was by breaking into Oracles house and stealing the original Batgirl suit. This led to Franco conducting a 100 page dissertation on who he believed was the man who was Batman. Heading back to Arkham Asylum and gathering evidence and medical files that were stored in ‘Arkham City’  and knowing that Barbara Gordon would/is close to batman led Franco to become completely obsessed once again.

Talking to the only man still alive that Franco believed he knew the true identity of Batman, Franco teamed up with the Riddler in committing couple of crimes here and there. For each successful crime committed, the Riddler presented Franco with a new riddle. Eventually the riddles spelt out the name Ashley Cohen, the name of one of the young interns that Franco accidently shot. In blind rage the Collector punched the Riddler square in the jaw, completely shattering it.  Whilst still screaming in pain, the Collector stripped Nigma of his suit, mask, hat and custom made cane. Claiming that this trophy wouldn’t be close to the main attraction of his display, the Riddler shot Franco in the leg causing a distinct limp that remained with Franco throughout his life. Removing the bullet himself, Franco vowed that he would kill The Riddler with the exact same bullet that pierced his leg.

The war of the crime underworld raged on between The Riddler and The Penguin, Franco created an artificial aid to help him walk and run properly. Now with The Messiah and The Collector fighting each other within Franco’s head, he adopted a whole new persona known as the Grim Reaper.

My Batman Villain.

So for a while now I have had this idea for a new Batman villain which I wanted to share with people. I know that there is no way in which it will be commissioned as an actual villain in the comics, it's just a bit of fun.

Bio /Backstory

·         Name: Dr Jack Franco aka  The messiah

·         Height: 6foot 6inches

·         Appearance: normally-short black hair, hazel eyes, clean shaven, no tattoos, no visible scars.  Messiah- Long black hair (wig), black eyes, Tattered white mask covered in blood.

·         Clothes: White tattered mask covered in blood, black trousers, tight black top, a long, black leather jacket.

·         Weapons: metal gloves with retractable spikes which would be optional. Also  contains a hidden section on the palm of the glove which shoots out poisonous darts, shutting down the victims immune system almost instantly. The messiah also carries a staff which the tip of it is also dipped in the same poison as the poison in the darts.

Dr Jack Franco was a well-known doctor and surgeon in Gotham general, dealing with the most important cases and had a 500:0 life to death ratio which earned him a high end position on the board of directors and eventually led him to become chief of medicine. The problem arose when Franco was present on the medical team which was present on the rehabilitation of Harvey Dent/ Two-Face. As Franco was prescribing Dent with his medication, the hospital was ransacked by Hush, Black Mask and the Scarecrow. Unwilling to let Dents death ruin his perfect medical record, Franco grabbed one of the security guards gun and fired in the direction of the three villains. Inexperienced in using firearms, Franco accidently shot of his interns. Consumed by guilt for causing the death of two innocent people, Franco began to plan his revenge on the villains, becoming obsessed and on the brink of insanity in order to get his revenge.

Franco constructed a white mask and then covered some of it in his own blood (to signify the blood that was on his hands). Franco also attached a black wig to the mask and added black contact lenses so that his new alter ego bore no resemblance to the once great doctor. Now the Messiah was born to save Gotham City forever.

The messiah went on a killing spree in order to get the whereabouts of the Scarecrow. In his opinion, Franco saw the Messiah as a completely different person from himself creating a fractured mind of schizophrenia. The Messiah finally tracked down the Scarecrow to an old wood mill in which the Scarecrow was using as a base. Just as Franco was about to defeat the Scarecrow, Batman burst through the window causing an opportunity for the Scarecrow to escape. This allowed the Scarecrow to flood the mill with his fear gas. Franco saw his victims as he inhaled the gas, haunting his mind and finally pushing him over the edge of insanity. Blaming Batman for his failure to kill the Scarecrow, the Messiah went on the hunt for him as well, torturing young medical interns to lure the bat out.it worked and during the middle of a fight, The Messiah poisoned Batman with a hidden dart fired from his hand. Unfortunately for Franco, Nightwing got hold of an antidote in time preventing the poison from taking effect.

Hope you like it so far, if it gets enough views I'll post up the rest of what I have so far. please comment if you have any opinions on the stuff I wrote.

Batman Game Number 3

Yeah so this is my first blog, doubt anyone will read it but hey-ho.

So basically what I want to write about is whether or not there will be another Batman game to continue the Arkham series. With the death of the Joker at the end of Arkham city it seems as if the series wont carry on due to the fact that they lost the main  protagonist. Also there is no way that they will bring him back since Mark Hamill won't be voicing the Joker any more. 

So why is there any suspicion of a new game? 

Well like with Arkham Asylum hinted at Arkham City with an Easter egg in the form of blueprints, found in the secret room in the Wardens office. This hinted at the plans for the next game. 

So now with Arkham City. 

The big hint  is that there maybe a new game being planned is when you complete the 'identity theft' side mission. As Hush leaves Arkham city, he has the face of Bruce Wayne. This raises the question about what's going to happen between Bruce Wayne and Hush.

So the next piece of potential evidence. Hidden messages discovered using the cryptographic sequencer come up with number sequences. each number represents a letter and the messages spell out ' I will return Batman', 'You will pay for what you have done to me' & 'Fear will turn Gotham city to shreds'. Using other ciphers you can also come up with the word 'Scarecrow'. This shows that it is likely that the Scarecrow will return in the next game if it happens. 

My Final point for a new game is after you complete the watcher in the wings side mission. Azrael says 'Dark days are coming Batman. The prophecy is coming true.' and 'From the ashes of Arkham, the fires will rage and Gotham will burn and you will burn too', 'We will meet again'. All these things suggest that we'll see Azrael again in the next game. 

So yeah with all of this evidence you can see that it is likely that there will be a new game out, and hopefully this is true.
