AFTER THE WONDER

My plane from Anaheim got in very late last night and by the time I reached home it was two in the morning.  Translation:  I’m fairly toasty at the moment and I’m not sure how many coherent sentences I can string together.  That said, the Batman vs. Robin premiere at WonderCon went extremely well:  over four thousand enthusiastic fans showed up for the screening and the panel that followed.  (My son, Cody, flew out for the festivities and it was great having him along for the ride.  We even snuck in a trip to Disneyland!)

I may write more about the experience later, but, till then, I want to share the video below, which features B v R interviews with actors Jason (Batman) O’Mara and Stuart (Robin) Allan, producer James Tucker and yours truly.


And here’s a photo of the whole Batman vs. Robin crew after our Friday night panel. Top Row:  Tiffany Smith, JMD, Andrea Romano, James Tucker, Phil Bourassa and Jay Oliva. Bottom Row:  Sean Maher, Stuart Allan and Jason O'Mara.



More later, I hope—right now I need to cool down these burning brain cells—but before I go, I have to thank Warner Bros PR guru Gary Mieranu for treating us all like gold and making it a truly memorable weekend.

Update:  Warner Bros. just released another clip from the movie, this one featuring Nightwing and Robin going head-to-head.  Enjoy!

    1. It was a great time, Douglas. And, yes, two am isn't what it used to be! : )

  2. BATMAN VS. ROBIN looks great, JMD! Hopefully I'll get a chance to see it soon.

    1. Hope you enjoy it, David—but a word of warning: this one's NOT for the kids. It's dark and it's violent. (That's not ALL it is, of course, but forewarned is forearmed!)

    3. You're welcome. I know how important it is to protect our kids from these things!

  3. I'm trying to figure out if I can let my brother watch this with me. Is the violence akin to a PG-13 live action movie or is it more like a rated R movie?

    1. It pushes the edges of PG-13, Eve. Some of it is very intense.
