On the last day of San Diego Comic-Con, while the lines were still long and arduous for all the outdoor activations, I managed to catch NBC’s Superstore photo opp when it didn’t have a line. They built a cute installation inside the Hard Rock Café of a mini-Superstore where you can have your photo taken as Employee of the Month. It was a nice way to wrap up the weekend!
Batman Beyond celebrates 20 years since it premiered in January 10, 1999. I was 15 years old when the show first aired on the WB Network, and I vividly remember getting excited for this show.

This week the hosts talk about the one… the only… The Dark Knight! James and Giselle dive into this superhero classic and discuss what makes it stand out, their own experience seeing it when it premiered, how it changed and legitimized the genre, and generally just gush about how it’s such a good freaking movie (pssst, it’s because he’s Batman). ;)

Hey, geek parents, here is a book for you! Bedtime For Batman is a sweet, illustrated story written by award-winning author, Michael Dahl and illustrated by Ethen Beavers.
The story features a boy who has his own mini-adventure as he gets ready for bedtime. He puts on his cape, brushes his teeth and snuggles under the blanket. On the next page, we see Bruce Wayne also preparing for his night… a night of crime fighting, of course.
I love that this book uses the Batman: The Animated Series art style as well. It is a delightful story to read your the little Batmans in your life!
Now when will we get Bedtime for Batgirl?
