Comic-Con 2017: Kevin Smith Brings “Fatman on Batman” to SDCC

Published

on

 

 

One of the best parts of attending San Diego Comic-Con is all the thrilling side-attractions and after parties that take place just mere blocks away from the Convention Center. Some popular events that have become Comic-Con staples in the more recent years are the live podcasts of filmmaker and massive comic book fan, Kevin Smith. Smith took to the stage of the American Comedy Co. nearly every night of the con engaging in live shows of his regular podcasts “Jay and Silent Bob Get Old” (with Jason Mewes), “Hollywood Babble-On” (with Ralph Garman), and “Fatman on Batman” (with Marc Bernardin).

The American Comedy Co.’s engagement of “Fatman on Batman” was truly special, seeing as its primarily evolved into a YouTube series and is so rarely presented live. However, how could one pass on the opportunity to have a Batman-themed podcast at the biggest comic book convention in the world?

After taking their spots on the cramped comedy club stage, Smith and Bernardin wished a happy Comic-Con to the audience and mused on all their adventures taking place at SDCC. Bernardin revealed he had been asked to moderate the “Lucifer” TV series panel as well as appear in a few others including the Top Cow Productions panel and Comic Book Movie Trivia. Smith had divulged that most of his Con was spent in the bay behind the convention center aboard the IMDboat. Returning to his role from last year as the boat’s “captain”, Smith conducted several interviews with the cast and creative teams of many upcoming films and TV shows including “Stranger Things”, “The Flash”, “The Defenders”, and “Blade Runner 2049”.

The two also spent the evening humorously musing and speculating on various upcoming comic book films and the gossip surrounding them, including whether or not Captain America will be killed in the upcoming “Avengers: Infinity War” and whether or not Ben Affleck may be remaining as Batman for the DC Extended Universe.

Overall, “Fatman on Batman” is a hilarious good time and should be viewed by all fans of anything comic book-related. Episodes of the popular show can be heard on SModcast.com or viewed at YouTube.com/KevinSmith.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland.

He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.
