Is the world ready for 2 Batmen?

bnr16_solicit

The simple answer is no.  No one is ready for 2 Batmen.  Sometimes you ask questions that are  obviously going to be answered no by 99.9% of the population. Do you like getting punched in the face? Are you ready for your prostate exam? Are you going to stick your hand in that fire? Most [...]

Official Walking Dead Trailer

Walkingdeadtrailer

Much more polished trailer  than the one we saw from comic con. The scene at the tank was a nice surprise towards the end.  It’s good to know that it won’t be lifted directly from the books and long time readers might have something new to experience.

Batman’s new costume

NewBatman2

Is it just me or are the 90s coming back with a vengeance when it comes to costume choices? First we have Wonder Woman redesigned into a bizarre ensemble and now we have Batman trotting around a Batman and Robin movie costume with a little more color. After Return of Bruce Wayne wraps up Grant [...]

Wonder-Woman-makeover

Interesting read at WomensMediaCenter.com about the new Wonder Woman costume. Some interesting parts: This is modernity? Where are her red boots? What about modernization requires her trademark “W” emblem to fade into the background? How is covering her once rippling, now wimpy, muscles a nod to evolved images of womanhood? Here we go again, it [...]

It’s not often these days that I can say I am pleased with any decision the big 2 make concerning flagship characters, but today I am well pleased with DC.  Tony Daniel is a guy that loves Batman.  Many new creators always  spew a bunch of garbage about how much they love the characters and [...]

X-Men1

Gotta leave it to the vampires to take suicide bombings to the next level From X-Men #1

There have been a fairly good number of first looks yesterday, none of which I find more interesting–aside from the new screenshots/drawings of the upcoming Superman Batman movie–than AMC’s TV adaptation of The Walking Dead. Granted, I haven’t read the comics, yet I suppose, but you can never pass up a good show of zombies. Here we see [...]

Entertainment Weekly gives us a first look at Ryan Reynolds, who stars as Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern movie scheduled to come out next year. I’m not really sure how I feel about the costume. It kind of reminds me of one of those pictures you’d get in anatomy class for the muscles in [...]

This just goes to show how much I’m not following this movie that I didn’t even know Anthony Hopkins was playing Odin.  It’s really not a bad choice now that I think about it. I think putting an excellent actor that exudes the kind of nobility that Hopkins does is a great choice.  He doesn’t [...]

Some screencaps from the featurette on Under the Red Hood can be found at Toonzone Weird how Batman looks so different in these sketches compared to his final version in the trailer.

CHUCK -- Pictured: (l-r) Zachary Levi as Chuck -- NBC Photo: Chris Haston

GeekTyrant.com is reporting that a new Superman film is in the works and will be directed by Chris Nolan’s brother Jonathan.  Who I need to mention has never directed before. To his credit he was a writer on The Dark Knight and his brother is a pretty phenomenal director. That being said  writing credits and [...]

X-Women Hilarity This week we were blessed with the first issue of X-Women (because you know, there aren’t any women on the X-men team). Obviously this book is meant to be a campy cheesecake book but GOOD GOD. I was unprepared for the level of poorly drawn soft-core porn. Let me share a few gems [...]
