     Comic Doodles has been rebooted!

     Comic Doodles 2.0 is the ultimate hangout for lovers of comic books, Easter eggs, and all things sci-fi. Check back here often for new posts and videos; I write my reviews and opinions on movies and comics, break down Easter Eggs in trailers, and come up with fan theories so crazy, they have to be true! I also like to shine the spotlight on the minor characters and the forgotten cameos to show why they matter, like I did with "Lightning Kid" in Logan or the forgotten children of the Avengers.
     If you have any requests for what I should write about, leave me a comment!
     So, why are you still reading this? Check out my YouTube channel and the rest of this blog! Laters!

I Watched The Cancelled 'Aquaman' TV Pilot, and It Sure Is Something

Photo courtesy DC Comics      With the trailer for James Wan's Aquaman set to debut at San Diego Comic-Con, I decided to return to a time before Aquaman had blockbuster visual effects and Jason Momoa's epic facial hair -- a faraway time known as 2006.      The Superman origin series Smallville was changing the face of superhero television, and its creators Al Gough and Miles Millar were thinking about possibilities for other DC Comics adaptations. After the successful introduction of Aquaman in season 5, they decided to give him his own series. The show wouldn't be a spinoff of Smallville, but it would have a similar style. (I'll probably do another post about why this series never got off the ground.)      The CW rejected the pilot, but Warner Bros. eventually released the single episode on iTunes. So, I forked over $1.99 and watched this thing. And boy, do I have some thoughts. (I'm gonna spoil the whole thing, so if you plan on watc...

Whatever Happened to 'Gotham High'?

     The DC Multiverse is full of elseworlds. What if baby Superman landed in the Soviet Union? What if the Flash went back in time to save his mother? But one of the most intriguing premises remains to be answered: W hat if Batman and his rogues gallery all went to the same high school?      Enter Gotham High , a cancelled animated series by Jeffrey Thomas and Celeste Green. Photo courtesy Jeff and Celeste!  Blog      While the idea of combining the usual grittiness of the Batman mythos with what looks almost like an animated Freaks and Geeks might be a divisive idea, it could have been really interesting. The concept art is incredible -- especially those character designs on Bruce, Harley, and Killer Croc -- and the DC execs knew it. In fact, Thomas explained in a blog post , "[W]e were approached to create a spec series based off of an old drawing of mine that we then sent to DC," which is shown below. Photo courtesy Jef...

Playmation: The Epic Toys-To-Life Game 'Star Wars' Almost Had

Photo courtesy VentureBeat      In 2015, Disney announced a product that promised to revolutionize toys-to-life gaming: Playmation. Instead of having each toy be represented by a video game character on a screen, the ambitious Playmation tried to make the toys interactive in the real world. The idea was announced with a bold slogan: "Imagination made real."      And after this amazing trailer was released, it's easy to see why many of us were excited by the concept.          Even before the first iteration of Playmation was released, the ad made the bold proclamation that Playmation Star Wars would be unveiled in 2016. It wasn't. Photo courtesy Passion For Savings      The first iteration of Playmation, which was based around the Avengers, involved a wearable Iron Man gauntlet, which the player could use to fight toy villains as he or she moved around the room. The villains sat on bases that allowed th...
