Pacific Licensing Studio Launches World Of DC

Pacific Licensing Studio recently held a press conference to launch their upcoming events this April called "World of DC'. This comprises the release of new merchandise at the SM Store, events and activities that will all happen next weekend.

New DC Comics Stuff at The SM Store

Remember this post? Well, this is what it's all about.

The SM Store and Pacific Licensing Studio recently unveiled Justice League: Heroes United @ The SM Store. This store-wide program will feature merchandise designs based on characters from DC's New 52. For those not in the know, the New 52 is the current, rebooted universe of DC Comics, where our favorite characters all got a fresh start that included new looks and character biographies. So don't be surprised to see Superman without his trademark red briefs-- he's finally learned the proper way of wearing one is in his pants.

The Legends & Villains Art Exhibit

Going through folders and folders of my image files last night made me realize I have a lot of stuff I've forgotten about. I found this set of photos in a folder from the 2008 folder. The Legends & Villains art exhibit happened back in March of 2008 and was jointly presented by the Ricco Renzo Gallery and SM City North Edsa. The exhibit featured various superheroes and super villains done by several local artist and ran from March 1 to 8.

I chanced upon the exhibit when I went there to have lunch with my mom and a friend of mine. Here are some pics of the pieces on display.

A Giant Green Lantern Plops Down Outside Glorietta

The giant Green Lantern Logo @ Glorietta

I'm not a huge Green Lantern fan, but seeing this humongous thing made want to recite the oath. Problem is, I don't have it memorized! LOL. 

Still, the geek in me is very much excited to watch the Green Lantern on the big screen next week. Speaking of big screens, I saw Thor (in 3D) and X-men First Class. I'll reserve talking about those two for another post. This huge lantern, by the way, is surrounded by small square lanterns that are hanging on tree branches all though out the small park at Glorietta.

Now if only they did something like this for X-men First Class....

Green Lantern Movie Trailer

I was at Gizmodo and saw this trailer for the Green Lantern Movie and I went OHWOW! I love what I've seen so far.

DC Comics Chuck Taylors!

Here's one more reason to love the good ol' Chuck Taylor. DC Comics has teamed up with Converse and released Chuck Taylor All Star Highs with designs bearing some of our favorite DC characters. These came out I think this month, but the DC folks who manned the booth at the recent SDCC I've learned wore these. I missed out on that bit of info and actually learned about them from  Jim Lee's Twitter.

There are 5 designs in all: 2 Batman designs; 2 Superman and 1 Green Lantern. I hope these become available here in the Philippines because I sure as hell want one! Or two. Okay fine I WANT THEM ALL!
