"Men in Black 3" rolled out a headache-inducing poster late last month, not exactly the most encouraging sign based on some of the troubling reports already floating about the long awaited sci-fi sequel. But the new trailer that just dropped today suggests that the MIB agency is back and, quite possibly, better than ever.
Check out the trailer past the jump!

If you thought last week was an awesome week for "Dark Knight Rises" news, you haven't seen anything yet.
The six-minute prologue is set to premiere in front of select "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" IMAX showings this coming Friday — even sooner for those of you lucky enough to win one of those Operation Early Bird screenings — and ahead of that debut, we've got a brand new "Dark Knight Rises" poster to obsess over… and believe me, it's definitely obsession-worthy.
Check out the full "Dark Knight Rises" poster after the jump!

The "Dark Knight Rises" prologue bows on December 16, but a lucky few have already seen the highly anticipated six-minute sequence from Christopher Nolan's last Batman movie. MTV News staff writer Kara Warner was on hand, for instance. (She is now my mortal nemesis, by the way, but that's neither here nor there!)
But it wasn't just select journalists who got to see the "Dark Knight" prologue a little bit early. A special Los Angeles screening was apparently held for some of Hollywood's elite, based on late-night and early-morning Twitter activity from directors like Jon Favreau and Edgar Wright. See what they thought of the "Dark Knight Rises" footage in today's special edition of the Twitter Report.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can—and "whatever a spider can" apparently includes hanging out on top of street lampposts in the middle of a beautiful day!
Reshoots on "The Amazing Spider-Man" were recently underway in New York City, and now, Los Angeles is once again the site to double as the wall-crawler's Big Apple. Actor Andrew Garfield has been in LA this week for some additional "Spider-Man" shoots, with photos popping up online—right here on Splash Page, above you in fact!—of the friendly neighborhood webhead swinging around on a wire.

"The Dark Knight Rises" is the conclusion to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, but is there a chance that Nolan might eventually return to Gotham City? In a new interview with Gary Oldman, the "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" actor spoke about the possibility of future Batman movies and the level of involvement we might be able to expect from him and Nolan.

Whosoever holds this hammer, if he (or she) be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor — but sadly, it looks like director Patty Jenkins isn't going to be that person.
News broke late Tuesday evening (December 6) that Jenkins, previously linked to "Thor 2," has dropped out of the project due to creative differences. Marvel Studios is back on the hunt for a new director to helm the second big-screen trip to Asgard, though no names have emerged as front runners just yet.

[UPDATE: Vulture has updated their original story with a new quote from Smulders correcting her prior comments: "And if she had a superpower it would be that she is hyperintelligent." Looks like no powers for Maria -- nothing to see here! Our original story follows.]
In the comics, ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. director Maria Hill is a born hellraiser unafraid to challenge Nick Fury, Tony Stark, Captain America or anyone else who might undermine her authority. But in the movies, S.H.I.E.L.D. is firmly in the pro-Avengers camp, leaving some wiggle room for Hill’s presence.
In an interview with Vulture, Cobie Smulders made a seemingly throwaway comment about her character’s changes. “They’re very sleek, and very leather,” she said, speaking of Hill’s costumes. “And she has superpowers and is hyperintelligent; a very nice, fine woman who has all the answers.”

"Sin City" and "300" creator Frank Miller caused quite the stir last month with his controversial remarks towards the Occupy movement, describing protestors as "nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists" who "can do nothing but harm America."
Alan Moore, on the other hand, has quite the different outlook. It should be no surprise to people familiar with the "Watchmen" and "V For Vendetta" author's work that Moore's position on Occupy is drastically different from Miller's, and in an interview with Honest Publishing, Moore made those differences quite clear.

Christian Bale's days as Batman are behind him, and apparently, he has his pick for the next man to assume the Dark Knight's cape and cowl: Greendale Community College's very own Abed Nadir.
On last night's episode of "Community," titled "Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism," the hilarious Danny Pudi once again delivered his spot-on impression of Bale's Batman, and the world is better off for it. In the episode, Abed receives his long awaited $299 collector's edition of "The Dark Knight," complete with exclusive commentary from the cast and crew and even a ringing endorsement on the box from Bale himself: "Abed is Batman now."
