Carrie Kelley To Be The New Robin On The Gatefold Cover Of Batman And Robin #19 - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

Odd choice. Between this and some of the "mutants" showing up in the latest issue of Batman Inc. it seems like they're trying to lead toward The Dark Knight Returns. I have no ****in' clue why, though.

Yea... it's pretty obvious. Comic book fans, like most groups, are dominated by dummies who trend towards the familiar.

Warner Bros. Have A Vision For The Flash, And That Vision Looks Like Charlie Hunnam - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

Hurm. Not sure about Flash, but I do like the author's idea of Hunnam as Constantine.

Saw the Wolverine teaser poster as a billboard this morning. Nice poster.

I still say I don't think the Flash translates to live action film in 2013.

I actually agree with you. It just seems rather silly. although, when you really get down to it, the majors at DC all are tricky. Aquaman...ooof. Just read something that Superman is kind of the open sandbox that DC is going to concentrate on as far as launching franchises. They seem to feel like Nolans trilogy is a stand alone, so I fully expect Batman to get a more traditional reboot. As a matter of fact, the article I read...

MAN OF STEEL to Open Door for Other DC Characters; Nolan NOT Producing JUSTICE LEAGUE | Collider

Hints at an upcoming announcement,

“We’ll announce something in the next several weeks that will hopefully position the DC characters and the movies we’re going to be making,” Robinov said.

actually now that I read it it sure sounds like Superman is gonna have someting you are gonna want to see post credits.

Marvel Announces Epic Collections, For Iron Man, Thor And More - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

getting out stories that we want to see in print and haven’t necessarily been in print yet (because that would just be repetitive), or long runs that have never been collected together in one volume.

And importantly;

None of the other lines will be adversely affected by these new volumes! So for example, we won’t get rid of titles like Iron Man: Demon in a Bottle or Spider-Man: Kraven’s Last Hunt once those runs are within one of these Epic Collections.

So they're like the Essential collections, but in color?

About ****ing time.

As Yondu? I guess there's going to at least be nods to the original GoG. I wonder how big his role will be.

So I am very interested in this project. How are they going to do it - live action or animated?

Probly practical AND mo-cap. Gunn is very diy, but he has never had this kind of budget to work with...

I was pretty sure I had read Dylan McDermott @ one time. After his heavy turn on AHS/Asylum I could really see that. Justin Theroux??? Sorry, but I see him doing that part in Your Highness and I get the image of him going all campy as Doc. Just too close.

Trailer Arrives for R.I.P.D to Help You Feel Safe - Dread Central

Could be one of those surprise MiB type adaptations.

EDIT: Wow...actually WATCHED it. OOfa that looks Men In Black-y. Still, James Hong, Robert Knepper, some nice looking practical make-ups, and Jeff Bridges with apparently a mouth full of southern pig jowls...I could waste a few hours digging this.



embedded...for your pleasure

 

[Dr. Naysay]

That looks EXACTLY like Men In Black.

But I liked Men In Black and I like Jeff Bridges.

So I'm in.
