Yes, the “Blurryman” Actually Did Appear in the Background of Every “Twilight Zone” Episode
Last week’s must-watch season finale of CBS All Access’s “The Twilight Zone” was titled “Blurryman” and it suggested that the titular “Blurryman” had been hiding in every single episode of the new series thus far. But was he really there all along, like the hidden ghosts in Netflix’s “The Haunting of Hill House”? As it turns out, yes, he actually was!
If you don’t want any “Blurryman” spoilers, avoid this article until you watch it…
Those who watched the finale know that the “Blurryman” was actually Rod Serling himself, and yup, Serling was indeed hiding in the background of every Season One episode. He wasn’t actually *blurry* most of the time, but if you go back and watch the episodes previous to “Blurryman” and you pay super close attention, you’ll notice him hanging out in random shots.
The folks over at TV Guide documented all the Serling sightings, with included screen-grabs!
Here are just a few, from “The Comedian,” “A Traveler” and “The Blue Scorpion.”
Season two of “Batman: Caped Crusader“, Prime Video’s animated noir series from DC Studios, Warner Bros. Animation, Bad Robot Productions, and 6th & Idaho, is officially set to arrive next month.
Prime Video will premiere all ten episodes of season two on Friday, July 31.
“Batman: Caped Crusader” is a hard-boiled look at the vigilante’s early years, reimagined by J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, Bruce Timm, Sam Register, and Ed Brubaker.
“Welcome to Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant, and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear. Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes something both more and less than human—The Batman.
“His one-man crusade for justice attracts unexpected allies within the GCPD and City Hall, but his heroic actions spawn deadly, unforeseen ramifications.”
The new premiere date comes with a suitably dark first look at some of Gotham’s denizens, including Edward Nygma, Carrie Kelly, and Roxy Rocket, who will be featured in the upcoming season.
Returning voice cast includes Hamish Linklater as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Jamie Chung as Harley Quinn/Harleen Quinzel, Jason Watkins as Alfred Pennyworth, Eric Morgan Stuart as Commissioner Jim Gordon, Krystal Joy Brown as Barbara Gordon, Michelle C. Bonilla as Renee Montoya, and Bumper Robinson as Lucius Fox.
Executive producers J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bruce Timm are back for “Batman: Caped Crusader” Season 2. James Tucker, Geoffrey Thorne, Sarah Geismer, Rachel Rusch Rich, and Sam Register also executive produce.
You can catch up on season one now on Prime Video. Our own Daniel Kurland described this noir series as having more in common with EC Horror Comics than DC Comics.
He wrote that the series‘ “immersion into EC Comics ideology and a true indulgence in horror is a superpower that’s more fascinating and dangerous than any WayneTech gadget or Kryptonite-powered super-suit.”
