You Want BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN? Watch Kevin Conroy Take On Tim Daly!


While we anxiously await the big screen showdown between Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill in 2015's Man of Steel sequel (the film's actual title has yet to be revealed), fans can enjoy this face off between the actors who voice the iconic DC heroes for WB Animation.

Fan favorite Kevin Conroy has given life to the Caped Crusader more than any other actor, and continues to provide that definitive sinister voice on numerous projects since Batman: The Animated Series debuted in 1992. Tim Daly, no stranger to prime time television (Wings, Private Practice) has voiced the Man of Steel for various animated features since 1996. His son Sam has also recently taken his turn with Superman's voice as well.

Sam has a fun web series, aptly named The Daly Show, and along with his dad, routinely spoofs their animated superhero personas. Check out Tim's team-up with former Supermen Brandon Routh and Dean Cain HERE or riffing with Nathan Fillion (who has voiced Green Lantern) HERE.

Now we have DC's big two facing off. For those of us who enjoy the animated adventures, this is a pretty cool short, and at certain points wisely allows only Conroy and Daly's voices to take center stage while quoting lines from The Dark Knight Returns and Man of Steel. And since Peter Weller was cast as the elder Batman in the animated version of The Dark Knight Returns, I am frankly more than thrilled to finally here Conroy deliver some of that iconic dialogue.

Pete Holmes Tackles BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN


There is no better riff on Christian Bale's Dark Knight Batman these days than the one courtesy of comedian Pete Holmes. His hysterical online shorts as the "Badman" on College Humor are all well worth watching. Holmes took to the stage at New York Comic Con this weekend to hype up his new late night TBS show, and judging by this video, he will be bringing his Batman parody along for the ride. He hits another home run with this send-up of the upcoming Batman Vs. Superman big screen epic.



Holmes also recently added X-Men to his target list to tear up. Hopefully we have a lot more comic book movie parodies to look forward to on his show.



Be sure to check out his Good Will Hunting Director's Cut parody starring Ben Affleck's Batman HERE.

The Pete Holmes Show debuts on October 28th after Conan on TBS.

Check Out Some of the Best Cosplay from NEW YORK COMIC CON 2013!

New York Comic Con just wrapped its most successful weekend ever. The annual four day event drew a sold out crowd of over 130,000 attendees and genre icons like William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, Sigourney Weaver, Stan Lee and even reunited David Duchovny with Gillian Anderson for an X-Files 20th Anniversary panel. Of course no convention would be complete without an amazing parade of Cosplayers there to show off their talents.

I present images of some of the best Cosplay on display the Javits Center this weekend: from Superman to Harley Quinn, to Carrie, to Lady Khan, to Hip Hop Darth Vader and even some cute dogs decked out as Green Lantern and the TARDIS. 

Enjoy...
