Batman: Murder at Wayne Manor is an interactive mystery book written by Duane Swiercyznski and illustrated by David Lapham. Both co-creators have impressive backgrounds: Swiercyznski is the author of several crime novels and other interactive mystery books, whilst Lapham is an award-winning comics writer and artist whose credits include Stray Bullets and Batman: City Of Crime. This book is almost like The Jolly Postman for adults, with readers studying interactive clues (such as a detailed autopsy report) to solve the mystery and find the killer.

FILM REVIEW – 12 (Twelve)

By Marty Mulrooney

12(Twelve)

12 (Twelve) is a British martial arts movie directed by Chee Keong Cheung. Originally released in 2007 as Underground, it tells the story of twelve fighters from a variety of backgrounds, all competing in an illegal fighting tournament for a prize of £500,000. Low budget but made with professional input (the fight scenes were apparently put together by renowned fight choreographer David Forman, who has worked on such films as Clash Of The Titans and Batman Begins), 12 (Twelve) also features a wide range of British martial artists/actors, giving it slightly more pedigree, on paper at least, than your average shot-on-a-shoestring-budget action flick.
