A Step Nearer To Twilight Of The Superheroes? | Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

4ColorHeroes:Alan Moore Twilight of the Superheroes

I'm sorry, but this might be the greatest idea ever. Read the second link for the breakdown of how Moore wanted to kill all of the existing DC supes and just start from scratch. It really is amazing...so much so that it's an impossibility.

I agree that it was a fabulous idea for a story.... but the button on the end is essentially Moore saying "look... this story gives you everything you need creatively and commercially without actually effecting the status quo."

It's an elseworlds tale undone by itself. That's part of what makes it so brilliant.

Sad sad day. Last issue of THE BOYS. Picked up the first 2 of HAPPY to ease the pain. Golden Apple is sold out of Deadpool #1 still...luckily when issue 2 comes out in 2 weeks they should definitely have more since Posehn and the artist(sorry forgot his name) will be signing. Should be interesting.
 
Well...the second to last was the heartbreaker. This is more of the epilogue...got the chills thinking about reading it though, need some good news for closure.
 
Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Play Batman in JUSTICE LEAGUE in 2015? | Collider

I have nothing against JGL...he seems like a sweet kid. Which is exactly why I don't see him as Batman. I have never seen him demonstrate the range of emotion needed to succeed as Batman. Could be proven wrong...but it's a misstep. Especially if they are going to present him as the cop that inherits the mantle instead of Bruce Wayne. But wait...the confusion if they cast him as Bruce Wayne won't work either. Yeah, bad idea. Sorry.
 
Joe Carnahan in Talks to Write and Direct UNDYING LOVE | Collider

Deadline reported that Carnahan was in talks to write and direct Undying Love for Warner Bros. Director Alexandre Aja (Piranha 3D) was previously attached to helm the picture but it appears that’s no longer the case. Aja, who is currently filming the Horns adaptation starring Daniel Radcliffe, is well-versed in horror so this seemed like a fairly appropriate pairing. Carnahan, on the other hand, is a solid action director; experience which will lend itself well to the more up-tempo parts of this project. Carnahan himself noted the distinction in a recent comment about how he decided to focus on Undying Love:


“I really took to it, and the metric I use is how fast I come up with ideas and an outline, and this brought about a bunch of ideas. It is a little out of my wheelhouse, taking place in China with mysticism and swordplay, but there is a lot of potential here.”

There’s no word at this time as to where Undying Love will fit into Carnahan’s schedule or what this means for his potential Death Wish reboot.

Here’s the description of book one in the graphic novel series (via Amazon):


A tale of horror-action, equal parts vampire mythology and Chinese folklore, set in modern day Hong Kong. Ex-soldier John Sargent has fallen for a beautiful Chinese woman named Mei. The only thing keeping the star-crossed lovers apart: she’s a vampire. To free Mei from the curse, Sargent sets out to destroy the vampire that made her. The only problem: Mei was turned by one of the most powerful vampires in history…

shame really. If there ia a guy better suited to do a Daredevil or Punisher flick...Carnahan is the guy. Whatever may be...
