batman-unlimited-101120.jpg

At this week's Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, Warner Bros. have apparently spilled the beans on what seems to be the next Batman animated series following the cancellation of Beware the Batman on Cartoon Network.

The image above, taken by a fan and posted to Reddit, features a new-look Batman sporting a logo close to the one that appears on a number of Mattel's toy packages at big-box retailers (the title, Batman Unlimited, is also the name of a toy line sold at Target stores, although featuring a very different logo).

Licensing Expo is a place where this poster would be at home even if it isn't an animated series but a new toy line -- but fans have been expecting a new Batman series since the end of Beware was announced.

Obviously, DC Entertainment and Cartoon Network have had some luck with the "Unlimited" suffix, which was tacked onto Justice League in one of their most popular animated series.

Why can't we have a real life batman again? If superman pulled it, green arrow as well... c'mon DC!

 

We don't need no Batman teen CW drama, just no.

LOL I don't think a teen drama could be made out of batman :laugh: ! Though I think once Gotham ends in who knows how many years, it will lead up to a batman series somehow? (fingers crossed)

huh?

 

i've read this sentence many times, now maybe I'm too drunk, but I can't make sense of it...

I want a NEW batman series? (non animated)

I just don't know what the fascination with the chin on the mask is. They've also added it to the suit that Batman uses in the animated films. I just don't like it at all :/

Well, from a combat perspective, I guess it guards from jabs and punches?

Yeah but why add it in if it's not live-action etc? :p The comic book/original version doesn't even have it.

Maybe some sort of royalty issues? eg. they can't use the costume as exactly portrayed in the comics so as to not to tarnish the image?  Doesn't the cowl look blue?

Would be odd if that was the case. The newly animated Arkham film doesn't have the added chin. I think it's because they just want to try something new with the suit. The cowl in the comics is black though.

I wouldn't count on that :p Batman never had a suit similar to this in any of the Batman Beyond books.

Of course, another possibility is that this is not a television series at all. The stylized Bat-symbol is one Mattel has been utilizing on its Batman packaging for some time now, along with releasing a line of action figures under the "Batman Unlimited" label, albeit with a logo based on the one currently used by DC Comics' "Batman" series. With that in mind, it's conceivable that this is an overall brand expansion for the character rather than a new foray into animation.

How is he more suited for TV? If anything, he's way more violent than Batman. Also, Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond weren't suited for tv? :p

I rather have a new version of the old animated series with Kevin Conroy doing Batman again.

Now that would be awesome! Looking forward to hearing him in Arkham Knight, he sounded pretty badass in the trailers.

no big budget effects, just a guy with guns killing guys, lots of opportunities for big arcs and lots of one time stories.

 

And lots of violence never stopped anyone, heck I prefer his permanent solutions to batmans sissy ways.

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 release notes: Added added a Global Settings checkbox for ForceBoxDocs under Program Control > Force Process Options Changed disabled rich text acceptance in 'Edit ini Section' baa6968 extended completion system with context-aware filtering, improved INI key resolution, regex updates, and tooltip placement enhancements 6db2a04 Fixed fixed crash in VMware when running inside sandbox caused by NtQueryDirectoryObject hook returning non-null-terminated strings and uninitialized padding bytes in OBJECT_DIRECTORY_INFORMATION structures, which caused QueryDosDeviceW to crash in wcscmp #5390 Add short-name fallback cache and heuristics #5404 fixed addon setup not working introduced in a recent build fixed Starting from version 1.17.4, using the 'Sandbox with Data Protection' type box causes PowerShell to wait indefinitely, while there is no such bug with other types. #5408 fixed Importing encrypted box no longer creates encrypted image in v1.17.6 #5399 fixed EditorSettings fuzzy matching not applied, showing few/no completion entries, and table cell highlighting not updating fixed Error enumerating and deleting folder. #5406 fixed black box import/export when 'ProtectAdminOnly=y' (default) and SandMan does not run as admin Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.3 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.2 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.2 changelog: Fixes a crash when starting the graphical interface without a display on Linux Fixes MP3 metadata encoding and ID3 tag writing issues on Windows Fixes a crash when loading audio with autosave enabled on Windows user paths containing non-ASCII characters Fixes a freeze when batch-processing more than 5 files with a 64-bit VST plugin Fixes some conditions in audio mixer Fixes loudness statistics for surround files and Short-Term Maximum Loudness accuracy Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      You get the latest James Bond game free with this Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti deal all for $330 by Sayan Sen Last week released its Radeon RX 9070 GRE 1440p gaming GPU for $549 (check our review here). If you can find it for that price, it's a decent deal. However in case you want to do 1080p gaming and don't want to spend much more than $300, then the MSI Ventus 3X GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is a great option as it's currently on sale for just $330 thanks to a coupon (purchase link under the specs table down below). With this you will get close to around 80% of the GRE's performance at a much lower price. The Ventus 3X line is known for its straightforward design. Here, MSI uses three of its TORX 5.0 axial fan systems, where linked fan blades are intended to stabilise airflow and maintain consistent cooling. A metal backplate with cutouts should help with heat dissipation while also reinforcing the card’s structure. The card’s shroud design is kept neutral in appearance, so it can blend into a wide range of builds without drawing attention. The technical specifications of the MSI Ventus 3X OC RTX 5060 Ti 8GB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Name G506T-8V3C Interface PCI Express® Gen 5 x16 (uses x8) Core Clock (Extreme Performance) 2617 MHz (via MSI Center) Core Clock (Boost) 2602 MHz CUDA Cores 4608 Memory Speed 28 Gbps Memory Capacity 8GB GDDR7 Memory Bus 128-bit Display Outputs 3 × DisplayPort 2.1b 1 × HDMI 2.1b (up to 4K 480Hz or 8K 120Hz with DSC, Gaming VRR, HDR) HDCP Support Yes Power Consumption 180 W Power Connector 1 × 8-pin Recommended PSU 600 W Card Dimensions 304 × 121 × 44 mm Maximum Displays 4 Maximum Digital Resolution 7680 × 4320 Get it at the link below: MSI Ventus 3X OC GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB GDDR7 (G506T-8V3C) + free 007 First Light (our review) bundle: $329.99 (with $50 promo code) (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
