What's up doc?

Smallville Final Season Premiere


This is it guys, Smallville's final stretch! And no... Smallville didn't jump the shark, they're actually just getting started with unleashing all kinds of awesome! It's apparent they won't be holding anything back which includes suiting up the Man of Steel in his oh-so-familiar red and blue's, recycling Bryan Singer's suit no less. So let's see what they could possibly bring to the table, ending this series with a bang. First, I'll begin what they've given us: Lex Luthor, Brainiac, Bizzarro, Doomsday, Amanda Whaler and Checkmate. What's missing from this puzzle? Darkseid! One thing that stuck out most is... where the hell did Clark get that awesome jacket? Most importantly, where can I get one? I'm really hopeful for a no-holds-barred final season of Smallville. I think it's also clear that Clark will finally fly, at will, this season!

The Legend of Zelda. More epic than ever!

Nintendo generation or not, everyone know the theme song to the Legend of Zelda. For me, it's burned in the back of my memory along side Greedo shooting first. What could possibly make the Legend of Zelda more epic? How about having it's theme performed by a full orchestra?

All Star Superman Trailer

"All Star Superman" by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely tops the list as one of my favorite Superman story lines. Stretching and re-imagining Superman's mythos, not only did fans embrace this book with open arms, All Star Superman earned an Eisner award in 2006 for "Best New Series." Now it's being adapted into animation form. If they manage to capture half of what this storyline entails, I'm sure this will be a worth while film. It wouldn't surprise me if this is a test run to make an animated version of "All Star Batman and Robin The Boy Wonder," finishing-up what Jim Lee and Frank Miller left in the dust. On the other hand, reading "I'm the goddamn Batman" and reading it are two different things.

Where no pizza has gone before!

Pizza? Awesome! Star Trek? Awesome! Pizza and Star Trek? I can already picture a nice thin crust with loads of mozzarella topped with Racht and served with some delicious Raktajino! It wouldn't surprise me if Star Wars upped the ante with a Star Destroyer shaped serving utensil.

Hal Jordan escaped the grip of death and returned to life for Globalls!

It's not uncommon to find Batman or Superman images plastered on things from gummy snacks to underwear. Afterall, they are DC's biggest cash-cows. Never did I think they'd make a Green Lantern movie, let alone a host of marketable products to boot. Here you have it folks, Green Lantern's Globalls!

Joe Quesada discusses Marvel's relationship with new owners Disney

Joe Quesada, Marvel's Chief Creative Officer, discusses Marvel's new level of reach since being acquired by Disney. Sure, they have a great vehicle for distribution but let's just hope they don't spread themselves too thin by churning out bastardized versions of our beloved Marvel characters.

If you liked Kick-Ass, wait until you get a load of Super!

"Super" directed by James Gunn starring Rainn Wilson, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, Nathan Fillion and Ellen Page is yet another superhero film that brings you into the lives of real people trying to be real superheros leaving superpowers by the wayside. I think Kick-Ass left an impression on people because it was marketed as a fun superhero film, prominently displaying McLovin in their marketing campaign. Little did people know they'd find an eleven year old Hit Girl cursing up a storm and dismembering bad guys. With "Super" it's pretty clear what you're in for, especially with this clip. "Super" is gaining pretty good buzz after airing at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Geek and Gamer Girls

Have you noticed the endless number of songs that parody Katy Perry's "California Girls" geared towards nerds and geeks alike? It doesn't take a genius to cram a plethora of geek terms into California Girls' brain numbing chorus, which is why I find them all less than entertaining. However, this version has some geek credibility, showcasing two very familiar faces.

SDCC 2011 - Will there be consequences to the eye-stabbing incident?

I was unable to attend San Diego Comic Con International 2010. I missed-out on key events like Green Lantern, the Avengers, Thor and getting stabbed in the eye by a crazed fan wearing a Harry Potter shirt irate about a seat in Hall H. It seems everyone still has that memory fresh in their heads, attendee or not, and this t-shirt company is already glorifying the crazy incident.


As funny as this shirt is, I'm not sure fans are thinking about the consequence this incident may entail for the future of Comic Con. They may lock-down celebrities that often walk the con floor freely, as crazed fans are potentially seen as a threat. I really hope this isn't the case, but something tells me security may be handled differently as Comic Con is a relatively high profile event these days.

Something tells me the stabbing victim won't be first in line to buy this shirt, but if you'd like to, it's available here.

More kicks!

Not sure why I keep seeing more-and-more superhero shoes emerging on the market, not that I'm complaining, but I found these custom Batman and Robin Nike's I'd really like to get my hands on. What I like about these designs is the level of "personality" it captures, especially Robin's design, really capturing the elements of Robin. You can buy them here for £500.00. That translates to about $643.00!

Bobby C?

I stumbled upon this sculptor earlier today, and was blown away at his sculpting accuracy. His work surpasses the best celebrity wax statue I've ever seen. Recreating exact copies in sculpt form, he goes by the handle, "Bobby C" who seems to be a legend within online prop making forums. This guy must have a hand in Hollywood somewhere, I'm sure of it. To see more of his work, click here.

Batman Art by Simon C. Page - Batman vs Penguin

I find minimalistic art intriguing for two reasons. One, they are iconic enough to only be recognized even if at a glance. Two, it tells a story with very little on the canvas. Superhero minimalistic art demonstrates how ingrained they are into our culture. At quick glance... you'll get it. But take a closer look.

The Walking Dead Official Trailer

A little late on the subject, but I finally got around to seeing the official trailer for the Walking Dead, a near page-by-page interpretation of the comic book published by Image Comics and put together by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard. It's refreshing to see that they are staying faithful to the source material, even having writer Robert Kirkman on set to make sure everything is in order. Correct me if I'm wrong, but will this be the first television series that feature zombies?, If so, awesome! The Walking Dead will premiere on AMC Halloween night 10/9c.

UPDATE: Looks like the show is winning over critics. The Walking Dead has already been approved for a second season. Impressive considering the pilot hasn't even aired yet.

Batman: Arkham City Screenshots!

The anticipated sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum titled "Batman: Arkham City" has released a plethora of screen shots. Rocksteady Studios and WB Interactive provided a good mix of cinematic shots and actual game play. Batman: Arkham Asylum's greatest strength was the level of detail they included in the game. You don't have to be a die hard Batfan to understand the "who's-who" references, but they included some great references that only comic readers would smile at, namely myself. With an updated Harley design along with new villains, I can already tell this game is going to be top-notch with detail. I can't express enough how excited I am about this game, Fall 2011 can't arrive soon enough! I'll be first in line if they do another midnight release.
