It’s great to see Jim Lee draw all the main DC heroes. A shame we can’t witness any more of his Marvel art though. Information from the following website. http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2011/07/comic-con-reveals-jim-lees-justice-league-cover-for-souvenir-book/ Comic-Con International has unveiled the cover art for this year’s souvenir book, featuring the core of DC Comics’ new Justice League lineup by...
The animated movie Batman Year One will be shown at the San Diego Comic-Con. The theme for this DVD, for those who do not know is that it is a retelling of Batman’s origin and early years by comics legend Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. For those who can’t go and want a...
He might want to shine in brightest day, but for a movie franchise Green Lantern sure is suffering from a Blackest Night. In it’s 3rd weekend of release the movie made about $8.7 million. $104.5 Million domestic take. Yet this movie coast a reported $200 million to make. Plus over $100 million in...
This picture shows the new JLA and which team members will be on it. Also it gives a look at the Jim Lee redesign on these classic heroes. I think this looks more like a What If or an Elseworlds DC Comics Universe, and not the Real thing. Anyone else feel the same...
Found this picture online of Wonder Woman, Adrianne Palicki wearing the classic WW costume. I think it looks great on her and certainly better then the pants versions they were showing. I don’t think this costume would have showed up in the series? It’s a shame the TV show idea was canceled. It...
http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2011/06/fans-plan-protest-at-comic-con-against-dc-relaunch/ Well this is a surprise to me. DC Comics plans to Relaunch all of their books in September with new number one issues. It is also a Reboot of sorts, with the histories of some comic book characters changed. Now it seems those fans who are furious at the changes are going...
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=32992 Green Lantern really is a Flop as a movie. It dropped 66 percent and made $18.4 million for week two. It also has been an International box office Flop as well. The WB executives must really be wondering what went wrong? GL is looking to be the Marvel Ghost Rider equivalent in terms...
http://www.thesuperficial.com/wonder-woman-canceled-pilot-05-2011 http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/blogs/121793314.html I totally missed hearing of this news until recently. But the planned Wonder Woman TV series was canceled before it even got to air. I looked it up and yes it’s true. A shame, Adrianne Palacki looked really Hot! As I read recent failures on TV like the Cape, No Ordinary...
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/43456127/ns/today-entertainment/t/green-lantern-disappoints-m-box-office-take/ With a cost over $200 million to produce, and $125 million in advertising. Green Lantern really is a bomb. It might be one of the worst flops for a superhero movie. Especially when you factor in how much it cost to make and advertise. Yet in it’s first all important weekend take...
http://www.deadline.com/2011/06/green-lantern-makes-3-35m-midnights/ The Green Lantern movie has not even met the low end Hollywood box office expectations. A $52.7 million weekend is a horrible opening for a superhero movie. Especially given the fact that this movie was produced with a big budget and a big advertising campaign. The huge negative buzz from critics was...
A great book for any Batman Fan A truly great book and Archive Edition for any Batman fan. A worthwhile book for any comic book collection.
http://www.deadline.com/2011/06/attorney-marc-toberoffs-appeal-denied-as-part-of-dc-comics-warner-bros-suit/ The above link has GREAT commentary about the Warner Brothers / DC Comics legal battle over the ownership rights of Superman. Basically a recent change in law about copyrights has granted the Superman creators the right to terminate DC Comics ownership of the character in a few years. Of course DC Comics...
http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2011/06/dc-relaunch-scorecard-dcnu-or-dc-no/ DC is saying it’s not a reboot but a ReLaunch. And yet I wonder what is the difference? From what I’m seeing it looks like some characters are being changed quite a bit. Or at least their history is. They are avoiding the word reboot because of the negative stigma the comic...
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=archive&key=dc+relaunch&type=kw&offset=0&v=g&max_per_page=120 Good website link to keep track of the relaunch news. It seems so far like a reboot yet that word is being avoided, cause they know fans don’t like that word. The details still are not clear what exactly will be going on.
First off Adrianne Palicki looks gorgeous. But WHY are they messing with a classic costume everyone knows? Gone are the legs showing and the red boots. It’s an okay costume, but it’s far from great. I think most fans can live with the other design changes, but just fix this costume a little...
It looks like DC Comics will close the Image imprint they bought from Jim Lee. Actually I’m not surprised at all. I’m just surprised it didn’t happen sooner. I always knew a big corporation like DC comics had no interest in a separate property like Wildstorm. A property that was not part of the...
DC image found on google with my caption Check your local comic book news sites for the details. But it seems that DC Comics made a counter move to the recent big Marvel news. The biggest possibly being a name change. I’m not sure of the exact details. But it seems that what we...
Recent movie news is that Megan Fox, actress from the Transformers movie is cast as the new Catwoman in the next Batman film. At age 23, I think it’s a good choice. She’s one of the few hot actress types out there now who can fit the roll. I just hope any other villain...
Superman image found on google with my caption I was reading a link and something about DC owning the trademark of the Superman costume? But that the Siegel’s won the copyright and own the costume. I think there will be a way around the trademark that DC may have. Still not sure how the...
I reworked a Batman article to submit on ezine articles and it got rejected as being and I quote: “Your article contains content that is considered slanderous or libel.” I think it’s a bunch of B.S. I was stating facts and some opinions. Plus I hardly went or crossed that line. Just lookup the...
Batman Picture with my caption I had wrote a post before about Bob Kane and how he never gave Bill Finger credit for Batman. Much less the financial share Bill Finger should have got. Look at my blog category on DC Comics: Batman’s Creators, Kane screwed over Bill Finger to read that article. Dial...
“This was a hobby that I enjoy. … It’s not that I’m making a fortune. I’m making nothing. It’s ridiculous.” Stacks said DC Comics has repeatedly contacted him about the figurines since he started selling them nearly a decade ago. The New York-based company is suing Stacks for copyright and trademark infringement, false designation...
The Above Image is taken from THE RED CIRCLE: THE SHIELD #1 with my text caption. News I’ve recently read that has not had much of a buzz is that DC Comics will publish once again books starring the Archie/MLJ publications Superheroes in DC books. Characters such as The Shield, The Web and others...
Type into google: “Why do DC Movies Suck” and you will find many links to Joss Whedon. You may know him best as the Buffy the Vampire creator. In a nutshell he says that with the exception of Batman, the DC heroes were ‘like creating flawless gods. And that they were very much removed...
I saw the Watchmen movie a while ago, and I was thinking: This is the series that is so highly praised by the comic book fan community. Now we have a movie that is virtually a translation from panel to movie screen. You would think since it’s such a great translation, that the comics...
I was thinking about an article I read a few months ago by Peter David about Alan Moore. And it was in regard to some writer, forgot who, but basically his book was made into a terrible movie and what the author thought. The writer said, it really didn’t matter because his original work,...
You know, I hear how New Gods, and the Fourth World books were Kirby’s best work ever. As some fans say. And that it was Kirby at his greatest. While art is a subjective subject and to each their own. That’s all well and good, if that’s what you think, and I’m cool with...
Hearing about All-Star #10 being recalled for it’s foul language, I tracked down this series I have not been reading and just read #9 which has an appearance by Green Lantern Hal Jordan. Frank Miller really writes Batman as jerk, a-hole and quite frankly abusive towards Robin. Check out when he throws, punches and...
I finally read the Watchmen trade paperback, and to be honest: It was a good book. But I would not call it the best comic book I ever read. Or even in my top 10 favorites of all time. Spoilers here in my review, so be warned. What I really hated was the last...
