'Lions, Tigers and Bears'Super-producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura had better watch out -- he's well on his way to being typecast as the producer who only works on films about toys coming to life. According to news which broke over the weekend, the "Transformers" producer has picked up another project about playthings becoming larger-than-life heroes.

Variety reports that di Bonaventura will serve as producer on "Lions, Tigers and Bears," based on the Image Comics series by creator Mike Bullock. The pitch, which was written by Joey Aucoin, was bought preemptively by Paramount Pictures. Read More...

'Iron Man'These days, it's nearly impossible to separate Robert Downey Jr. from his now ubiquitous role as Tony Stark (a.k.a. Iron Man), so it's no surprise that, during a press junket for the actor's latest film, "The Soloist," the folks over at Collider jumped at the chance to get some juicy tidbits about the upcoming, insanely-anticipated sequel to last summer's box office smash. And as usual, Downey wasn't shy about playing along.

"Day one I’m doing a Senate hearing where the government is saying the Iron Man tech needs to be turned over to the Senator and the Senator is Gary Shandling," said Downey in reference to recent rumors that Shandling had joined the production. "And we had this fantastic day that was somehow this controlled chaos of a Senate hearing where I keep interrupting them and dah dah dah." Read More...

Joe: Resolute" was set to hit airwaves and the InterWebs over the weekend.

While we can't bring you the two episodes currently running on Adult Swim's website, we can at least show you the trailer for the series after the jump and recap what happened in Episodes 1 & 2. (Spoiler Warning!) Read More...

Harley QuinnTagged in the new trailer as having a "total disregard for human life," Batman villain and frequent Joker accomplice Harley Quinn (formerly Dr. Harleen Quinzel) makes serious trouble for The Dark Knight in the latest preview of the highly anticipated "Batman: Arkham Asylum" video game.

'Heavy Metal'Sure, he may have just delivered the big screen adaptation comic fans have been itching to see for decades with "Watchmen," but hopefully someone told director Zack Snyder that us comic and movie fans are an insatiable bunch. After all, the blood on the Comedian's pin isn't even dry yet, and we're already asking him about his future funnybook forays: namely, his "Heavy Metal" team-up with co-directors David Fincher and Gore Verbinski that re-imagines the classic, adult-themed animated epic.

"'Heavy Metal,' is coasting," Snyder told MTV News of the in-development project. "I don’t know what’s going to happen, I’m excited about it. I love ‘Heavy Metal,’ if that happens it’ll be great.” Read More...

20th Century Fox delivered a huge stack of new images from "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" today, so it's time to feast your eyes on yet another batch of photos featuring Logan and his pals.

Among the latest shots to whet fans' appetites for the May 1 release of the film, we received this interesting shot of a young Scott "Cyclops" Summers accompanied by fellow mutant Emma Frost. You know what? I think one of my grandparents had the same, nifty set of eyewear. But I digress...

TwitterWith Oprah and Ashton Kutcher finding their way to Twitter recently, it's pretty clear that our favorite little microblogging platform has achieved a new level of mainstream acceptance -- and possibly jumped the shark (or "Fail Whale") along the way. While I'll leave it to my MTV colleagues to join the ranks of O's subscribers, the occasion does provide a good opportunity to point out that there are a lot of Twitter feeds that comic book fans new to Twitter (or looking to update their subscriptions) might find interesting.

Along with MTV Splash Page on Twitter, there are quite a few comic book publishers who also have a presence (albeit somewhat inactive in some cases) on Twitter. After the jump, we've posted a roundup of some of the prominent Twitter-savvy publishers of print comics on our radar. Read More...
