    Shadow Hunter was an ok book that was heavily over-shadowed by the drek put out as part of the Del Rey post NJO main-line

    Don't mix them up - Shadow Hunter was the awesome Maul book that came out while the NJO was still young. Shadow Games is what clearly got lost among the FOTJ- era releases.

    This book was amazing on so many inconceivable levels it's inconceivable.

    This is almost as great as the time Gunray was sleeping in Padme's bed in that other book and Darth Maul hit him with a pillow.

    The SotE SB has some great stuff about the Imperial Court and the exclusive Manarai restaurant.


    Yes I keep tally of which high society things are in which book. It's my version of the diversity score.

    Ah, yes, the exclusive Manarai restaurant- let us pay homage to its ancient, high-society founder:

    Shadow Games was a fun book that made the error of doing noting particularly controversial so didn't get much attention.

    I so badly want there to be a Batman Beyond film, but I also know that it wouldn't work nearly as well in live action as it did in animation. So much of that show was it's cyberpunk faux-anime style and soundtrack, I just don't think it would translate particularly well to an actual live action movie.

    They could jof course just make it one of their "direct-to-video animated superhero films"

    The Bat fight definitely has an Arkham vibe to it- though I'm not sure it looks "fun" I'm still gonna see it. Though I really gotta wonder if there's anything left for the film after the various trailers. Last time a superhero showed too much we got ASM2...

    Yeah that Batman fight was very Arkham like. Just can't get over the punch to face and the guys head goes through the floor.

    At least there is a new Justice League cartoon in the works, too bad its only 11 minute episodes, but at least Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill will be back. Not likely, but maybe if the TV series continues to do well, they will open things up one day to including the other major heroes. At least they allow for nice easter eggs like this one from the last episode of the Flash:
