When Scooby-Doo and the gang run into notorious crooks that are too hot to handle, the caped crusader himself, Batman swings in to save the day! After an unsolved case from Batman’s past comes back to haunt him, and the mysterious Crimson Cloak threatens to take over Gotham, Batman recruits Mystery Inc. to help crack the case. Will their teamwork be enough to solve the mystery and foil the plans of the most dangerous rogue villains the world has ever known? Pack your utility belts with gadgets and Scooby snacks to find out, as you take off for a wild crime-busting thrill ride of a caper!

Synopsis:
Super sleuths Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma join forces with the world’s greatest detective, Batman, when they discover that villains from both of their respective rogues’ galleries have also combined efforts to terrorize the city. With Scooby snacks in tow, the crime-fighting teams encounter classic Batman foes (Joker, Catwoman, Riddler, Penguin, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn) and allies (The Question, Aquaman, Plastic Man, Martian Manhunter) along with a bevy of fiends from Scooby-Doo lore (Spooky Space Kook, Gentleman Ghost, Miner 49er, Ghost Clown). As always, you won’t know who the ultimate villain is until those “meddling kids” pull off the mask! Available on DVD and Digital January 9, 2018.

I just got my hands on this DVD and can’t wait to watch it this evening. I will update you with my thoughts tomorrow!

UPDATE TIME!!!!

Marcus was so excited to watch Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold that he grabbed his cartoon buddy (aka our grandson) and they sat down to watch it while my aunt and I were shopping. I must say that they thoroughly enjoyed this seventy minute DVD and I think it will be one of those “play it again and again” DVDs for us and the grandchildren. In addition to the main feature, they both really enjoyed the special features vintage cartoons, “The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair” and “The Caped Crusader Caper,” that this DVD offers. It’s quite touching and surprising that our grandchildren derive as much pleasure from vintage Scooby-Doo and Batman as we did as children. It’s pretty cool watching younger generations become enamored by the great storylines, animation, and entertaining characters that us older folks grew up being entertained by.

Thanks to Warner Bros Home Entertainment, I don’t think we’ve met anyone child or adult that isn’t familiar with classic Scooby-Doo. It’s great that this classic cast of ageless characters lives on and on through generations of happy viewers. This is a well-made cartoon anyone can relate to regardless of age. The visit from Batman and Robin, the boy wonder, surprised and captivated our grandson. He has always loved Batman and Batkid!

BATMAN TAKES A VACATION?

THE JUSTICE LEAGUE DISCOVERS THE DIFFICULTY IN

KEEPING GOTHAM CITY CRIME-FREE AS

WARNER BROS. HOME ENTERTAINMENT

AND THE LEGO GROUP RELEASE

LEGO DC COMICS SUPER HEROES –

JUSTICE LEAGUE: GOTHAM CITY BREAKOUT

ON BLU-RAY COMBO PACK, DVD & DIGITAL HD

TODAY! JULY 12, 2016

All New Original Movie Includes Exclusive LEGO Nightwing Figurine!

BURBANK, CA (April 14, 2016) – Fighting crime is a full-time job and Batman NEVER takes a vacation. That is until he finally agrees to let Batgirl and Nightwing take him on a long overdue trip – leaving Gotham City under the watchful eye of the Justice League in LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC Entertainment, and the LEGO Group, the film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on July 12, 2016, on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, and Digital HD. The Blu-ray and DVD releases will include an exclusive Nightwing LEGOÂ® figurine, while supplies last.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack for $24.98 SRP and DVD for $19.98 SRP. The Blu-ray Combo Pack includes a digital version of the movie on Digital HD with UltraViolet. Fans can also own LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout on Digital HD on June 21, 2016 via purchase from digital retailers.

When Batgirl and Nightwing take Batman on a trip down memory lane – literally – to visit one of the key mentors from his formative years, it’s up to the Justice League to keep Gotham City crime-free. But neither situation proves to be a vacation as the Bat trio encounters old nemeses on their adventure, and the Justice League discovers just how busy Batman is on a regular basis. It’s a brick-tastic battle on two fronts as Batman, Batgirl and Nightwing take on Bane and Deathstroke, while the Justice League – with some help from a few Teen Titans – fends off an assault by many of Batman’s infamous adversaries to ensure Gotham City’s safety.

Modern Family star Sarah Hyland joins the cast of LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout as the voice of Batgirl alongside some of the top actors in the industry voicing a quartet of Justice League superheroes: Troy Baker (Batman), Nolan North (Superman), Grey Griffin (Wonder Woman), and Khary Payton (Cyborg). Eric Bauza (Bane), John DiMaggio (Deathstroke), Tom Kenny (Penguin), Jason Spisak (Joker), Tara Strong (Harley Quinn), and Vanessa Marshall (Poison Ivy) comprise the rogues’ gallery of villains that Batman and the Justice League must confront. The Teen Titans also join the fray, vocally represented by Will Friedle (Nightwing), Greg Cipes (Beast Boy), Scott Menville (Robin), and Hynden Walch (Starfire). Amy Hill adds to the fun as the voice of Madame Mantis.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout is directed by Matt Peters and Mel Zwyer from a script by Jim Krieg. Sam Register, Jill Wilfert, and Jason Cosler are executive producers. Benjamin Melniker & Michael Uslan are co-executive producers, and Brandon Vietti is supervising producer.

**My Thoughts about Justice League: Gotham City Breakout:**

With over an hour of crime fighting and fun both my grandson and nephew were in Lego heaven. They both loved the Lego Nexo Knights and were ecstatic to watch another great action packed movie featuring one of their favorite toys, LEGOS! As they watched and fought crime right along with this DVD they were superheroes in their minds. After all, how could they not be immersed – it is from one of the best sources of home entertainment, Warner Brothers (WBHE). The music and choreography is everything that we expected it to be. If you have a little one that is a fan of Legos or any of the many DC Comic characters that make an appearance in this DVD this is a must-have for your collection. I sent my copy home with daughter-in-law so that our other grandchildren will be to watch and enjoy it also.

LEGO® KidsFest announces tour stops for 2016 at new and returning markets

#LegoKidsFest, @LegoKidsFest

(Hartford, CT) LEGO KidsFest kicks off its eighth year on the road with new tour stops and a return to some popular markets.

New tour stops in 2016 include Charlotte, NC (Feb. 19-21), Harrisburg, PA (April 8-10) and Kansas City, MO (May 13-15).

It’s been three years or more since LEGO KidsFest stopped in Louisville, KY (June 3-5), Milwaukee WI (Oct. 7-9), Houston, TX (Oct. 21-23) and Cleveland, OH (Nov. 4-6).

Covering more than three acres of space, the LEGO KidsFest extravaganza brings all of the hands-on, minds-on fun of LEGO building and experience together in an activity-filled event for all ages and builders of all skills.

“Our 2016 LEGO KidsFest tour is going to delight both new and returning audiences,” said Vince Rubino, Events Manager for LEGO Systems, Inc. “We’ve still got some favorites on the show floor, like the Big Brick Pile, Creation Nation and the Race Ramps. There are also many new and unique activities designed for building, learning and fun.”

Our Visit to LegoFest:
We didn’t let the girls know where they were going until the day before and were they ever thrilled. If we had told them sooner they wouldn’t have slept for days anticipating the trip. When we arrived in Charlotte we made the short walk from our parking area to the coliseum and went to pick up our tickets. Even with so many people everything was so organized that everything we did moved smoothly and quickly. There was so much to see and do at this KidsFest that we only managed to go to about half of the activities that were offered. The favorites of everyone were the bridge building activity where one team built a bridge that even with removing 31 Lego bricks it still held one hundred pounds of weight and Creation Nation where each girl built their own creation and had it put on a huge map of the United States. This event is a fabulous way to spend an afternoon with your family and create a wonderful lasting memory for everyone both young and old. I would recommend that if you are in any of the areas that it traveling to take advantage of the opportunity to go.

Batkid Begins - The Wish Heard Around the World

I received a review copy of this awesome documentary movie that I watched with my boyfriend. This documentary follows Miles Scott, an American child and cancer survivor. His wish was to be “Batkid”, a sidekick of the eponymous comic book superhero Batman. I teared up and got goosebumps when I watched how selflessly so many people came together to give this courageous young man his wish. Miles knew for that day he WAS a superhero and had SAVED Gotham. Scott’s inspiring story and the way everyone pitches in, from the police to the San Francisco Giants to Hollywood special effects geniuses to President Obama took the world by surprise. This DVD is more like watching an expanded local news segment than a movie but is definitely a must watch for anyone that is looking see the good in the world, wants to be inspired, touched, and entertained.
