LEGO’s Legacy of the Dark Knight Explores the Legendary Batcave

Posted on by Leave a comment

Warner Bros. Games has released a new LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight video, offering an in‑depth look at the Batcave – the legendary underground headquarters of DC’s Batman located beneath Wayne Manor, which has been delightfully reimagined in the upcoming videogame.

Narrated by Jonathan Smith, Strategic Director & Head of Development Team, TT Games, the video showcases how the Batcave serves as the central hub of operations, expanding and evolving as players progress through the campaign.

This subterranean hideout is where a wide range of collectible Batsuits can be stored and displayed – from the Golden Age suit inspired by the Caped Crusader’s debut look in the original Detective Comics #27 (1939) issue to the most recent suit featured in The Batman (2022) film, and everything in between. Overall, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight has 100 different outfits for playable characters, including an array of suits for both Batman and his crime fighting allies.

The Batcave also functions as the ultimate garage for Batman’s iconic vehicles, housing an impressive lineup of Batmobiles and Batcycles, all faithfully recreated in LEGO brick form. This includes the over-the-top flair from the classic Batman TV series (1966–1968) car, complete with the signature red pinstriping; the gothic style Batmobile from Batman (1989); the skeletal design from Batman Forever (1995); the heavy-duty Tumbler from The Dark Knight Trilogy (2005, 2008, 2012); and many more.

Additionally, the Batcave is where players will upgrade gadgets, display trophies, review case files via the Batcomputer, and personalize the environment with a variety of LEGO‑themed furnishings – even a personal gym.

Crowdfunding Corner: Calico: Unwanted Men

Posted on by Leave a comment

Welcome to our revamped “Crowdfunding Corner” rounding up some of the latest crowdfunding news. We’re going beyond just announcement projects, we’ll be tracking to make sure these projects get delivered as well as what we think the “risk” of backing them are.

We’ll be updating the format as we get a better handle of the needs of this sort of coverage, so stay tuned and check out the first round of projects!

Calico: Unwanted Men

Calico: Unwanted Men

Publisher: Sigma Comics
Creative Team: (w) H.H. German (a) Renato Pinto, Mithun Roy
Launch Date: Launching Soon – May 1
Risk: Low – Sigma Comics has run previous campaigns and delivered

A vigilante called “PIG BATH” is killing cops all across NYC. CALICO doesn’t care. His war is STRICTLY against Animal Cruelty. For now.

Sigma Comics has announced the introduction of its new,
antihero comic book character, PIG BATH. The new character is the main antagonist in Sigma Comics’ upcoming trade paperback, entitled CALICO: Unwanted Men. The new character shares some similarities with Sigma Comics’ flagship character, CALICO, however, there are notable differences.

CALICO: Unwanted Men will be Sigma Comics’ third trade paperback, following CALICO: Street Math and CALICO: Morality Play, will contain 176 pages, and is expected to launch May 1st on Kickstarter.

Sigma Comics is unique among comic book publishers in that every penny is dedicated to fighting animal cruelty. The publisher works strictly with charities that are vetted to ensure that their efforts go, overwhelmingly, to stated causes. As a result, Here Comes CALICO is a revolutionary title, and has quickly become the best-selling independent comic book series on the North American comic book convention circuit.

Those looking to get a head start on everyone else can pre-order CALICO: Unwanted Men on Kickstarter on May 1st.

The Berserker NPC Unknowingly Destroys the World (Light Novel) Vol. 1

Seven Seas Entertainment has announced the digital license acquisition of the light novel series The Berserker NPC Unknowingly Destroys the World by Narunoruna and Shimotsuki Eito. When a young man suddenly remembers his past life, he becomes determined to be more than some rando NPC! But will his determination and passion be enough to lead him towards a more exciting life? An action-packed isekai light novel that will keep you on the edge!

As the youngest son of a revered warrior clan, Albert Falconer is shouldering a lot of pressure. But all his battlefield experience can’t prepare him for the sudden revelation he experiences at the tender age of fourteen. In a past life, Albert realizes, he lived in a different world completely. In that world, the Falconers and their society were part of a video game—one Albert remembers just well enough to know that he was a far cry from a main character! Albert begins his studies at the Radford Royal Academy of Magic with that past life in the back of his mind. But it’s soon crystal-clear that, despite what he remembers, he’s not going to end up some minor, lackluster NPC. Albert Falconer’s life is on a more exciting course!

The Berserker NPC Unknowingly Destroys the World (Light Novel) Vol. 1 will be available for the first time in the English language in December 2026 on digital platforms as part of Seven Seas’ Airship imprint.

Yes, No, or Maybe? (Audiobook) Vol. 1

Seven Seas Entertainment has announced, through its Siren imprint for audiobooks, the launch of the audiobook for Yes, No, or Maybe? by Michi Ichiho and Lala Takemiya, with narration by Derek Prince. The fan-favorite Boys’ Love light novel about the secret lives of men who work in television that inspired the anime film—manga also from Seven Seas!

Kunieda Kei is the up-and-coming Prince Charming of the evening news. Inside, he’s the opposite: brash, hot-tempered, and prickly as can be. For years, Kei has successfully juggled his private and professional personas–until a chance meeting with a stop motion animator threatens to bring it all crashing down. But is that really as frightening as the possibility that someone might love and accept both sides of who he is?

Yes, No, or Maybe? (Audiobook) Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in the English language on April 16, 2026. Pre-orders available now at sevenseasaudiobooks.com.
