The first Garfield Spidey, I thought, was very good. What happened in the second one? Too many villains?

Restarting a third time just doesn't feel right ...

Machinima And WB Teaming For DIAL H FOR HERO & STARMAN Webseries
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/GraphicCity/news/?a=120116

Been looking for a reason to re-read the James Robinson STARMAN run...

There was some good things about the China Mi?ville Dial H series, but I am biased. It did try to cram way too much weirdness into things, I mean Silver Age DC was often weird, but this was really weird. Mi?ville has way too many ideas for his own good at times.

I remember really liking that Starman run when it was comic out and such.

I ****ing loved Dial H. It was insanity on every page.

I haven't read Starman in ages, either. Should fix that.
 
Tom Hardy Talks Steven Knight’s FX Series TABOO
http://collider.com/tom-hardy-taboo-filming-dc-comics-movie-tv-series/

more importantly...

The actor became much more vague when he touched on possibly doing a DC comics property for Warner Bros. Hardy had to drop out of Suicide Squad due to a scheduling conflict, but he’s still interested in comics, and is particularly excited in what Warner Bros. might do with this unnamed property:

HARDY: I actually got something cooking with Warner Bros. which is also a comic book, it’s a DC thing which is kind of…

Oh you should really share because I’m not a journalist, no one’s recording this.

HARDY: It’s really good actually, it contains elements of all kinds of stuff. From Ocean’s Eleven, to Batman, you can get all the wrappers out and it would be a big, really cool, Technicolor, Pulp Fiction…It’s a psychological ****fest, it’s absolutely awesome. It’s as if you would take Transmetropolitan and make it happen, but it’s not that out there it’s something which is much more real world. It could be like Heat, it could be ****ing awesome. Let me tell you what it is, try and guess.

I’m not gonna guess because I have to go, because he’s gonna kill me. But I just wanna know…

HARDY: Anybody…

First, I love that Hardy name-dropped Transmetropolitan, which is one of my all-time favorite comics. However, I have no idea the property he’s referencing, so if you have any ideas (it sounds like it’s something from Vertigo or maybe even Wildstorm), Hardy became even more vague when he talked about how it might be adapted:

No, but you know what I’m saying. I’m trying to be respectful with the time. My thing is, they have a schedule through 2020 that they’ve announced movies. Is what you wanna do something that’s not on that
schedule?

HARDY: It’s not even a movie.

So it’s something you’ve seen…

HARDY: It’s already… It’s real estate, it’s PRIME real estate which is sitting there right under everybody’s nose that no one’s really thought about yet and it goes TV and movie, it’s awesome. I can’t believe that nobody has even –I know they thought of it but no one has actually blown life into it yet.
So is Hardy talking about a situation like The Dark Tower where the films and the TV shows are connected? Or is he talking about another platform entirely? Whatever it is, we might not see it for a while since the actor is in such high demand, but hopefully he’ll go on the record at some point in the future and specify what he’s talking about.

I thought the first one was good, too.

Apparently, the main problem with the second one is that they rushed it out, because if they didn't release it within a certain time, Sony would have lost the rights to the character. So, it was an ill-conceived project (and too many villains).

The fact that Tom Hardy even knows what Transmetropolitan is makes me love him even more.

Everybody's awesome quotient is improved if they read Transmetropolitan. Reading Transmetropolitan improved my grades, got rid of my anemia, made my whites come out whiter in the washing machine, and improved my golf game (and I don't even golf!). :grin:

Rosario Dawson Signs On For Daredevil Season 2 And More

I tend to associate the Claire Temple character with Luke Cage and I was crossing my fingers that Dawson would have some kind of role in that series as the character so this is good news. Sweet Christmas! That Cage series can't come soon enough! :good:

DC Asked Brian Bolland For A Killing Joke Sequel

ust as Dark Knight is getting a threequel, Watchmen and Sandman got prequels and they tried to get Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon to do more Preacher, there’s another DC comic book that current management were trying to get more of.

jokeThe site reports that Brian Bolland told them that several months ago DC Comics earnestly invited him to draw a sequel to The Killing Joke. The writer on the comic would be Brian Azzarello.

However, Bolland chose not to go ahead as he is no longer drawing comics because of his age and that the book would have just taken too long to draw. And he understands that DC Comics aren’t looking for another artist.

Yet.

A sequel to The Killing Joke? Couldn't pretty much any Joker story since then be considered that?
