Zack Snyder to direct Superman

If you haven't heard already, Zack Snyder will be directing the next Superman movie. I have this feeling nerds worldwide lost their shit and had a collective heart attack hearing this. I sure did! In addition to Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen, Dawn of the Dead) directing, David Goyer will help write the script alongside Christopher Nolan as a "consultant." If this isn't a recipe for superhero movie gold, I don't know what is. If you live under a rock and don't know, David Goyer wrote the story for Batman Begins. Christopher Nolan... well... we all know Christopher Nolan's more than successful film resume. Adding Zack Snyder is like adding solid binding to high quality pages of a book! What I like most about this is that Zod will be the villain in the film (not a total revolutionary concept (cough*RichardDonnerandSmallville*cough), but a villain everyone can get excited for. A Kryptonian that Superman can actually go toe-to-toe with, tossing Bryan Singer's over-emotional and punch-less Superman aside. As much as I enjoyed Singer's tribute-movie to Richard Donner, this generation of superhero fans needs a redefined Superman, relevant to today's issues. Let's face it, Superman is the definitive superhero that started it all. We need a team than can resurrect him to that status. If Snyder, Goyer and Nolan can't do it... than Superman's film career is doomed! Here's to hoping they get it right this time around!

What's up doc?

It doesn't take genius to conclude that Batman is psychotic, but check out what these three medical professionals have to say about the caped crusader.

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.

I will own these! Specifically Batman and Joker! I can't tell you what occasion I'll be wearing them for, but they will be worn! Set to be released next month, pre-order yours here.

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.
