Apparently the Fat Man is just not that into Batman. During an interview with The Playlist, he called Joss Whedon’s super-team flick “magical cinema” and said that, against all odds, it wowed him more than The Dark Knight Rises did. “The Dark Knight Rises I have a weird relationship with – it’s like a chemical romance with a toxic ex-girlfriend where I love her to death but there are some things about her that are just f—ing wrong. The Avengers I loved

When the identity of The Superior Spider-Man is laid out for all to see in two weeks, it won’t be Peter Parker. While Marvel has strongly hinted that Peter Parker would not be under the Spider-Man mask in the upcoming series The Superior Spider-Man, not all fans have been convinced. The character, currently celebrating his fiftieth year, will still be alive and appearing in Alpha, but according to series editor Steven Wacker, Marvel expects that Peter Parker’s fans will eventually
Actor Alan Cumming, who played Nightcrawler in the X-Men film franchise, doesn’t think he’s coming back for X-Men: Days of Future Past, because he’s heard nothing from the filmmakers. During an interview with Coming Soon in support of his new film Any Day Now, Cumming said, “I haven’t gotten the call. Someone told me that Nightcrawler doesn’t appear in the story but I don’t know, I think they would have called by now. It was funny that film because I really
“If we ride together, we ride for justice,” tells a man who crawls, disoriented, out of a grave to the stoic, wryly comic man who buried him in the second trailer for Disney’s The Lone Ranger starring Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp as the titular hero and his sidekick Tonto. Of course, to call Tonto a “sidekick” in this movie is almost certainly off-base, given that he’s being promoted as essentially the central character. We also get to see the
Even though Scott Snyder’s Swamp Thing and Jeff Lemire’s Animal Man have been walking hand-in-hand since the launch of the New 52, Lemire took to his blog today to make sure fans know that he’s not going anywhere soon. “In response to many tweets and email this afternoon, I’d also like to reassure fans of my Animal Man run that I won’t be leaving Animal Man any time soon,” wrote Lemire. “I have the series plotted out past issue 30 at
This is genius. The National Post have created a handy-dandy infographic that gives fans an at-a-glance look at AMC’s The Walking Dead. How many zombies has your favorite character killed? How many non-zombies? And when did they do that killing? Check it out below.
Man, when they said “Dark” they meant…dark. The long-delayed solicitations for DC Comics’s “Dark Group” titles shipping in March 2013 finally rolled out yesterday afternoon/evening and there’s just people dying all over the place. There’s also some pretty interesting stuff happening that has nothing to do with death, so we’ll just run down each issue. Constantine #1 “What Constantine learns in this first issue will shake the very foundations of the New 52…and only he knows how to deal with
Just a little while ago, ComicBook.com reported on the beginnings of a viral campaign for Man of Steel, including a new websites for the Deep Space Radio Wave Project which redirected us to what is apparently a countdown. Using what will likely turn out to be Kryptonian numbers, but not recognizably Kryptonian from a previous point in Superman’s publishing history, it would appear that we have a little under 15 hours remaining, which means that whatever is launching will do
Warner Bros. has launched a new viral campaign to promote the Man of Steel movie. A new Man of Steel trailer is set to premiere in front of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on December 14, but fans are hoping they might get a sneak preview of the trailer before then. The new viral website is called Deep Space Radio Wave Project, and the goal of the site is to decode alien messages. Here’s the mission statement for the Deep
Nobody’s sure who yet, but somebody will be taking over the reins of Swamp Thing from the critically-acclaimed and best-selling duo of Scott Snyder and Yanick Paquette in April after March’s #18 was announced as the final issue of the series for the team. “This way I can focus on The Wake, Batman & Superman, & once The Wake‘s done (its a maxi) I can return to [American Vampire]. Never want to go above 3 books,” Scott Snyder tweeted. Earlier
After dragging their feet all day long, DC Comics finally released the solicitations for The Dark and the Batman families of titles, and…well, nothing is all that out of the ordinary, really, but if you read between the lines, there’s stuff there to be seen. First of all, we’ve put forth a number of theories as to who might be the big, token death that a crossover of this magnitude requires. No matter the evidence, though, my odds-on favorite has
