Arkham City definitely knows to please Batman fans and maybe piss them off a little bit as well.  Below are the different Batman versions you can get.  Only problem is that each one might only be available through different stores by pre-ordering.  I’m sure they’ll release a downloadable (chiching.!!…that means money for the developers) pack for the skins in the future but it hasn’t been confirmed.

She’s my favorite female villain and Kotobukiya is releasing this awesome figure in Feb 2012.  Retail is $65:…

I’m not sure what’s going on here. Superman arrived at the farm as an adult?

10 million dollars? These are the kinds of decisions that will make studio executives cringe. The footage came out with the Anthology set on Blu-ray, and is available now.…

Marvel has released the posters for Avengers.  After enjoying Thor and Captain America this summer, I can’t wait for the Avengers.  Below are the posters to form one big  bad ass print!

Captain America is a swift and engaging summer blockbuster. The patriotic superhero gets a serious upgrade in this old-fashioned matinee style flick. Well-cast, acted, and directed, Captain America should please both die-hard fanboys and newcomers. Chris Evans dials the smarm way back and makes for an engaging Steve Rogers and Captain America. The CGI trickery is well used to create a Steve Rogers who is a small and very thin, but brave young man growing up on the mean streets of Brooklyn. The movie was directed by Joe Johnston, who made the underrated gem The Rocketeer back in 1991. That movie …

The latest reports on the release dates for this film are curious, to say the least.  According to several news outlets, the UK will get to see this film in December of this year while we won’t get to see it until September of next year.  It doesn’t make sense why they keep holding out on US but here’s a couple more shots from the film:

So this reboot of the Stallone flick, which will be shot in 3D, has a script written by Alex Garland who also penned 28 Days Later and Sunshine.  John Wagner, who is one of …

A financial report whose timing couldn’t be more… um, interesting, has just hit the web pronouncing the death of the superhero film franchise.  On the eve of the biggest comic convention this side of Tijuana, Susquehanna Financial Group’s Vasily Karasyov released a report citing that superhero films are failing at the box office and that investors should heed their warning: “The chances of finding a breakout property are diminishing fast.”

Since the more recent breakthroughs in CGI technology over the past decade, there has been a fervent crop of comic to film productions.  But only four franchises have really taken off: …

Our friends at Radical Comics will be at Comic-Con and they’ll be giving away cool prizes including limited edition comics and shirts.  Sam Worthington (Avatar, Clash Of The Titans) will also be in their booth to promote his comic, Damaged.  Below is their video with a full breakdown of their schedule:…

 

While Sony is busy trying to delete this thing all over the web, at least one site seems to still have it up.  It’s dark and moody and puts a different spin on Spidey than we’ve seen from Raimi’s versions, which I actually like.  It’s kinda like the difference between Tim Burton’s Batman and the more recent Dark Knight films.  At first I wasn’t thrilled about Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker but I think his acting style fits in with the mood of the film.

Update:  Here is a better quality version from Youtube.

The leaked Avengers trailer got …

Damaged is a story of vengeance. A story of making the bad guys pay. A story of a man who doesn’t have much faith in the justice system. It’s about vigilante justice, and the consequences that comes with it. It’s a story of Henry and Frank, the two are brothers but are on different sides of the law.

Damaged is very well written. The dialogues are short, but it works very well with the way the storyline is presented. I enjoy comics that doesn’t require massive readings to get the story across. The book is cut to the point, and very …
