Always on the pulse with new goings on in the world of film, Ain’t It Cool News weighs in with several new updates of interest to animation fans. Firstly, an “insider” plays up the upcoming DTV release of Mickey’s Three Musketeers, really going to great lengths to promote this as “the real deal”, announcing the film as a return to the golden days of the classic characters. Next, some guys in New Zealand have put together a fun little movie in an attempt, it seems, to get Peter Jackson’s attention and maybe some jobs on his upcoming King Kong remake, while ‘MC Hampster’ chimes in with a brief Shrek 2 review, and there’s a tidbit of Simpsons: Season 4 DVD news.

Finally, some movements on various new Batman projects from Warners: first glimpses of the new-look Bats himself and The Joker from the animated The Batman re-take on the legend, news on the Arkham Asylum location for Christopher Nolan’s new live-action film reincarnation, Batman: Intimidation Game, and rumors of The Dark Knight’s possible appearance in Halle Berry’s (troubled and still-shooting) Catwoman feature.
