DVD Day: July 8th, 2008
? Batman: Gotham Knight
As soon as I get my hands on a copy, I’ll let you guys know how it is. This links to the 2-disc special edition regular DVD?there’s a single-disc version and Blu-Rays of both of ’em.
? Batman Begins
It’s now on Blu-Ray, plus there’s a new stupid collector’s edition with postcards and a USB drive.
? Stargate Atlantis Season 4
Apparently, this is outselling all the different Batman DVDs at Amazon (separately, of course). I am always surprised by Stargate’s enduring popularity.
? Teen Titans: The Complete Fifth Season
There’s also the fifth season of The Batman, but I don’t care.
? X-Files: Revelations
A pack of 8 episodes picked by Chris Carter that’s supposed to shed some light on the upcoming movie. If any of you are masochistic enough to watch it and can find anything out, please email me.
? Gurren Lagann
Bandai’s sub-only release of Gainax’s awesomely bizarre old-school mecha show.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
