'Justice League' Movie in 2013?
Plus WB Plans to re-invent Batman...
This isn't the first time that we've seen a storm of Justice League movie rumors hit the net, but it's been dead for a while. Now we hear that it's planned and hoping for a 2013 release?
LA Times did a special profile on Jeff Robinov, president of the motion pictures department, and he mentioned the planned JL movie. SuperHeroHype sums up the profile:

Lois Lane Has Been Cast!
Amy Adams lands the role of the intrepid reporter...
Talk over the upcoming Superman: Man of Steel has lately been centered around the female casting. Especially when there was little to no word on whether Lois Lane would even be involved in the movie.
Thankfully, Snyder doesn't let us down. Lois Lane is indeed in the movie, and she has been cast. The LA Times reports:
Three-time Oscar

Versus # 5 - Agent 355 vs. Michonne
The Battle of the Survivors...
Versus started out because of the age old dilemma… Who would win in a fight between blah and blah? Then many of us comic nerdians thought we would see the question answered with our favorite heroes when Marvel vs. DC came out and sadly, it solved nothing. So here at Versus we endeavored to determine our own winners set in our own battles. We saw some great

Nickelodeon's 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'
Yet another new TMNT series...
Generally I'm really excited when I hear news that one of my favorite cartoons is getting a revamp. I spent a good part of my childhood watching the 1987 series, which is generally considered by most fans of old cartoons as the pinnacle of awesomeness. Well, that's how I regard it, and if you don't then Tommy over here is gonna come back there and hit you in the

'Captain America: The First Avenger' Trailer Hits The Net!
Yea, it looks pretty awesome...
Now I know there are a lot of haters out there who don't think Chris Evans is the right person for the role of Steve Rogers/Captain America, and I can't really disagree with them completely. I used to think the same thing. But with all the pics, news, interviews, etc. that have been coming out regarding Captain America: The First Avenger I can honestly say that

'Superman: Man of Steel' Update 03.21.11
Ma & Pa Kent casting, why Cavill got the title role, and a whole lot more...
If your wondering about the title, Superman: Man of Steel has really just been thrown around a lot, but I haven't heard an official announcement as of yet. Seems quite appropriate, considering this film's reboot status.
In 1986, John Byrne rebooted the classic character in a mini-series titled The Man of Steel. It

Who The F#$% is Joseph Gordon-Levitt Playing In 'TDKR'?!?
Plus, Juno Temple possibly cast as a "street-smart Gotham girl"...

'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' Update 03.19.11
Special FX, Interviews with Cage and Directors, Villain revealed, and the Origin of the Character...
It's been awhile since I've talked about the upcoming Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and the reason is simple. I just haven't really been looking forward to it. Ghost Rider was okay, but not great. A disappointing showing that in my opinion was actually saved by Nic Cage. Yea, I said it. Nic

First Look at Adrianne Palicki In Costume!
Trust me... click it...
Now it seems like yesterday we were talking about costume and casting for David E. Kelley's Wonder Woman NBC pilot. Oh that's because it was. And with production moving quickly, we get our first look at Adrianne Palicki in full on WW costume. SuperHeroHype reports:

Versus # 4 - Nightwing vs. Daredevil
The Battle of the Night Guardians... Too dramatic?
I have to say I was a little blind sided by the last Versus where Deathstroke took out Captain America by a vote of 2-1. Kron and Sanchez outvoted me, and it was my first big surprise of the series. It was also probably one of the best match ups in Versus yet, based strictly on what kind of a fight they would give us. Watching Cap and

'Preacher' Adaptation Still In The Works
DJ Caruso to direct, and some possible casting choices...
An adaptation of Warren Ellis' Preacher has been rumored about for a long time, circling directors and medias. Most times it's been considered as either a grand trilogy or an HBO type TV series, much like The Walking Dead. Nothing ever solidified enough for any real news, and the only star ever really semi-attached was John Cusack.

'Wonder Woman' Really Fills Out That... Cast
What did you think I was going to say?
Not long after it was announced that Adrianne Palicki would be jumping into the red boots and golden corset of Wonder Woman, the rest of the cast started filling out almost immediately. Seriously, I have like 4 casting announcements to talk about. So let's get started.
Splashpage has the first two characters:

'Captain America: The First Avenger' Update 03.17.11
The Red Skull, Howling Commandos, and a new image of Cap...
After the first footage we got to see during the Superbowl, I can say excitement increased for the movie, while various opinions on the film remain unchanged. There's still alot of doubt over Joe Johnson's ability to give us the Cap movie we want to see, as well as Evans giving us a good Steve Rogers.
But nobody has questioned Hugo

Aronofsky Leaves 'The Wolverine'
So does all hope for a good movie...
When it was announced that Darren Aronofsky was offered the directing gig on The Wolverine, I think it's fair to say fans rejoiced. Aronofsky brought us The Wrestler, Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream, and many others. I was truly excited to see what his own take on the Canucklehead would be.
Unfortunately it has now been announced that Aronofsky has parted

SupaScoot's Smallville Review Part 2
Season 1 & 2 - "Kill Me Now"
Smallville first aired October 16, 2001. I was 15 years old, and firmly rooted as a die hard comic geek. I first heard of Smallville in the pages of Wizard Magazine, where I got most of my comic news at the time, like most of my fellow comic brethren.
I was ecstatic. One of my all time favorite heroes in a live action TV show? I couldn't have been happier. And

'Mortal Kombat' Web Series
Yea... Prepare for Awesomeness...
Last year a short was released that showed a pretty amazing take on the Mortal Kombat universe. It was directed by Kevin Tancharoen, and it was a look at what a Mortal Kombat movie could/should be like. Check it out:
Pretty bad ass, right? Well, nothing really came of it, unfortunately, and fans were left a little disappointed.
That is, until recently.

Chris Hemsworth talks Thor but not The Avengers, and a look at his giant freakin' hammer...
Hey everyone, not the biggest Thor update today, as we are pretty close to the release of the movie. so news is a little few and far between these days. It's hard to believe that Thor will be hitting theaters in less than two months. Two months!!!
Can you tell I'm excited for this movie? Anyways, MTV

Grizzly Bomb's Gotham's 20 Best Villains
Definitely Worth A Click...
Now if you haven't checked out Grizzly Bomb yet, I really don't know what's keeping you. Seriously.
Anyways, Doc Kronner (who you've read in the Versus reposts here on Action News) is doing some reposting of his own over on GB. It's called Gotham's 20 Best Villains Redux, and, well, that pretty much explains it. I'll give you a taste here but you can click the

Versus # 3 - Captain America vs. Deathstroke
The Battle of the Super Soldier
Versus! came about in part due to some inspiration from the series Marvel vs. DC, but so far none of the contenders from that series have been featured. And duplicating those matches just isn’t what we all want to see. These battles are straight up about who would fight a good fight.

The Complete Series Review... Part 1 - I Hate Smallville?
If you've read any previous articles I've written about Smallville, I was never known as a 'fan' or 'supporter' or 'positive... anything".
"I hate Smallville." A statement. Fact.
And I tried. I really tried to like it. I watched stretches of the show for a few seasons, less and less frequently as the years progressed.

'X-Men: First Class' Update 03.05.11
New posters, images, and interviews with the cast...
We keep seeing more news from the upcoming X-Men: First Class, which is a very good thing in my opinion. Most minds were made up about this movie once it was announced, and I think the studio is trying their best to change perceptions and get people excited about it.
Two new character posters have been released, and they look pretty cool.

Ruffalo talks Hulk, the film to shoot in Cleveland, and a look at the possible villains of Joss Whedon's The Avengers...
There isn't really a day that goes by without some sort of news about Marvel Studios slate of upcoming movie franchises, The Avengers being one of the most anticipated. So if you haven't noticed yet, I'm going to be collecting this news into a series of convenient updates,
