Oh look, Akiva Goldsman is a producer. And it’s moved from World War II to the future. Next thing you know, he won’t be American…because that would be “jingoistic”. Relax. This will not get made. Look, they missed their chance to do it right by casting Bruce Willis in the 1980s. Stallone and Schwarzenegger? Nope,…

Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special
I’ve always meant to see this. As we enter the holiday season, it’s time to relax with the Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special. NSFW, contains language, etc. … though it’s nowhere near as explicit as the real comic.
Podcast 3: Batman Movies, Part 3
Tune in for our third and final Batman podcast, sponsored by TooManyLongboxes.com. No, we’re not doing the podcast quarterly! We now have better equipment and will turn them around much faster. Here is the last of the three Batman podcasts that I recorded in January with Erik Burnham. The sound is improved, but after this…

First Marvel gets bought by Disney. Now DC Comics becomes DC Entertainment. Is this the first step towards the death knell for the comic book? It sure seems as if both companies are more focused on pitching comic projects as new media. (I would like to see a live action DC product BESIDES Batman!)
“Offline” indeed

This message board post from 2002 is Dave’s write-up about how he first conceived of Nightcrawler, pitched it to DC as a member of the Legion, and…

While I like much of what has been happening…indeed, Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps are the ONLY DC Comic books I still buy… this…
Best picture from Comic-Con yet!
I’m not going to be a bandwidth-thief. If you want to see it, go to Big Hollywood. The first commenter wins the caption contest: “For once, middle-aged, out of shape fanboys have the perfect body type for the characters they’re cosplaying.”
Green Lantern: First Flight trailer
I’m stoked. Are you stoked?
Idleson: “I never want to see Supergirl’s panties again”
Matt Idleson, editor at DC Comics, wins praise from all of us who have hated the skanky Supergirl outfits of recent years. Why? He recently issued the edict, “I never want to see Supergirl’s panties again.” For the past few years, Supergirl has been seen wearing little more than a frill that seems to stay…
Podcast 2: Batman Movies, part 2
Our second podcast is finally here, sponsored by TooManyLongboxes.com. In honor of the 20th anniversary of Mr. Mom playing Batman, Erik Burnham and I review the Batman movies directed by Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher. [display_podcast]
