This week, I’m busting out the latest capes and cowl news by category, with this post on movies to be followed by posts on TV and print.  Digg in and enjoy! – The Green Lantern film is wrapped, and two sequels are already in development for a one-a-year release (2011-13).  Check out the still shot [...]

I’ve been wanting to write about The Boys for a while now, and with the recent rumors that a film version is in the works with either Adam “Anchorman” McKay or Samuel “Nightmare on Elm Street” Bayer as director, this seems like as good a time as any. The Boys is a typically violent, anti-super-hero [...]

1.  COMICS LEARN FROM TUPAC. It’s good to be dead!  The Top 10 bestselling single comics of the month of 2010, according to Diamond distributors, all had to do with characters who are recently dead, “dead,” or back from the dead: 1. Avengers #1 (Steve Rogers—and Iron Man, if you count being a vegetable as [...]

1.  THE STARS OF DCTV. Details about DC television projects have come to light during the past week or so.  First, Aqualad, an original Teen Titan who was so lame that he was left out of Wolfman/Perez’s New Teen Titans for the first three years of the team reboot, is a member of the upcoming [...]

1.  THE WALKING DEAD. I’m leading with this story because (a) I love zombies; (b) I love comics; and (c) I’m starting to love AMC’s original productions.  Oh, and (d) because “The Mist” is one of the best horror films of the past 10 years.  And this story combines all of this, and more!  AMC [...]

I decided to bust out my weekly musings on superdoings into print and moving media this week, because there’s just so darn much I wanna talk about! Please, give me comments if you like these features—I enjoy writing them, but I know that most of my regular readers come here for music . . . [...]

1.  FIRST THINGS FIRST. Well, I’m as surprised as you that it wasn’t the best of the year so far.  It takes almost an hour to really get going, which is a definite problem.  But it’s still top tier. 2.  SALES FIGURES. Diamond released its April 2010 sales figures, which led me to ask: “Why?”  [...]

1.  MOVIES.  I love to report, but there’s not a lot this week.  I can tell you that the Nightmare remake is like eating fine lobster, only the claw meat has been replaced with rice cakes.  Not a scary moment in it. But there a few great movies out now–which will be easy to get [...]

The first glimpse….
