"Superman Lives" died with this suit

Before Bryon Singer's "Superman Returns" was a glimmer of a thought, Tim Burton was in the process of bringing Superman back to the big screen in "Superman Lives." Many of Tim Burton's early Superman suit designs have been shared and criticized all over the web, but here, you can actually see the concept suit in full action.



Is it possible this suit was to only be worn on Krypton, for Superman to dawn his traditional red-and-blues when on Earth? I can't imagine Burton having Superman wear this rave-inspired-eye-nauseating suit, considering he at least got Batman's suit right. If this was the suit intended to be worn for Superman, I'm glad it died before it ever lived.

And one of them knows the Powerpuff Girls theme song. Can you guess who?

Batman: Arkham City


Batman Arkham City was the first of all the anticipated trailers to show first at the Spike Video Game Awards 2010. None of the expected villains made an appearance, rather, a surprise villain I would've least expected to see, Hugo Strange. With plenty of great action shots, this game is looking more and more promising the more I hear and see about it. The nature of Hugo Strange's villainy, it looks like we'll be exploring more of Batman's psychology. One thing that stood out was the clarity of the animation, it looked absolutely remarkable. I wonder if this will also carry into the actual game play?

Spike Video Game Awards this weekend - All I care about is "Batman: Arkham City"

If you haven't seen the "Batman: Arham City" trailer yet, here it is. Unfortunately, it's only a teaser trailer, but there is no lack of excitement. Badass? Yes, even for only being several seconds long. The full trailer will debut at the Spike Video Game Awards this weekend.

I've met Bruce Timm on several occasions and have never seen him laugh as much as he did in this visit from Conan O'Brien.
