Wonder Woman Comes To 'Smallville: Season 11'

Posted 5/10/13 4:45 pm EST by in DC Comics, News

FROM MTV GEEK

DC Comics' continuation of the fan-favorite (and long-running) CW series "Smallville" has ambitiously integrated much of the classic DC Universe into the show's separate mythos. The comic book has introduced Clark Kent to Batman and, as MTV Geek found out in an exclusive interview with writer Bryan Q. Miller, Wonder Woman will soon pay a visit.

"When we first meet Diana [in 'Smallville: Season 11'], she isn't being called 'Wonder Woman' just yet. She's got a very specific mission. There's a very big reason that she left the island, which we'll eventually cover. Does she have the bracelets? Oh, yes. Like you see on the cover. And pants, of course. Regarding the rest of her 'traditional' look - something tells me she might find her way to a lasso and some armor by the time all is said and done!"

For the rest of the interview and a full look at "Smallville's" Wonder Woman, head on over to MTV Geek!

New 'Man Of Steel' TV Spot Puts Earth In Serious Peril

Posted 5/10/13 3:30 pm EST by in DC Comics, News, Video

by Brett White

If 2006's "Superman Returns" was all about emotion, then by comparison, this summer's "Man of Steel" looks to be all about action. And yes, there'll still be plenty of emotions in Zack Snyder's Superman movie (remember Zod's scream?), but the newest UK TV spot shows off some of the most epic action scenes we've seen. There are some new shots in the film, including one presumably Kryptonian ship violently landing on Earth and fighter jets engaging enemy combatants over the Metropolis skyline. People are running! Jumping! Fleeing! Fighting! Screaming! And flying!

Superman is definitely the most powerful superhero gracing the silver screen this summer, and it looks like he's going to have his hands full. Check out the TV spot below!

Man of Steel

by Brett White

A few preview pages from "Man of Steel's" upcoming blitz of children's books have been revealed. The preview pages focus on most of the Superman mythos that's been established for decade, like him being jettisoned from a crumbling Krypton and being raised in Smallville by the Kents. So aside from revealing how this artist draws Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe, the first few images don't spoil that much.

'Arrow': 5 Best Green Lantern Team-Ups

Posted 5/10/13 10:50 am EST by in Commentary, DC Comics, TV

Green Arrow Lantern

by Ryan Rigley

There have been a number of huge DC character cameos throughout this season of "Arrow," but none of which have had anything to do with Oliver Queen's most trusted superhero partner: Hal Jordan, a.k.a. Green Lantern. However, with a recent statement from "Arrow" producer Marc Guggenheim, it seems like all of that is likely to change at some point in the not-too-distant future, starting with the Ferris Air jet logo from the "Green Lantern" film making an appearance in the season finale.

"I would never say never, it's certainly something that we've talked about," Guggenheim reveals in a recent interview with TV Guide. "As with all DC characters, we have to figure out a way for those characters to fit within our 'Arrow' universe, but when you consider the importance that Hal Jordan plays in the Green Arrow comics, it's certainly one of those names that we've discussed a great deal." So how exactly would Hal Jordan play into the "Arrow" universe? Click past the jump to find out!

'Arrow' Recap: Episode 1.22, 'Darkness On The Edge Of Town'

Posted 5/9/13 9:52 am EST by in DC Comics, Review, TV

Darkness on the Edge of Town

by Ryan Rigley

It's been a while since the Dark Archer has made an appearance in Starling City (since Christmas to be exact) But with only two episodes left this season, including last night's "Darkness on the Edge of Town," it makes complete sense that he'd pop back up just in time for his rematch with the hooded vigilante.

Malcolm Merlyn, as we learned in last week's episode, is plotting to level a 24 city block radius within Starling City by way of a mysterious earthquake machine manufactured by Unidac Industries, which is exactly where "Darkness on the Edge of Town" begins. Two scientists walk into a research lab only to discover that the Dark Archer has killed several of their co-workers (6 scientists and 2 security guards to be exact).

Who Is The Most Successful Superhero Actor?

Posted 5/9/13 8:00 am EST by in Commentary, DC Comics, Marvel

10 Heroes

by Brett White

With Robert Downey Jr.'s contract renegotiations off to a start (not to mention every other Avenger as well... yikes!), a lot of talk is being made of just how integral Downey is to the Marvel franchise. To be honest, you're not going to get any argument about that here. Downey's commitment to the role, natural charisma, and superb acting chops all coalesced in 2008 to form the biggest surprise hero hit ever. Thanks to "Iron Man," the armored Avenger rocketed from Marvel's B-list all the way to the top. The guy is irreplaceable.

But is he the most successful superhero actor ever? To find out, I spent a lot of time on Box Office Mojo pulling data and making spreadsheets. I compiled a list of the top 10 most successful superhero actors, based on box office totals. There were a few requirements though:

» Actor has to have appeared in more than one film playing the same character
» Actor must have headlined at least one of those films
» Box office totals for films in which they made a cameo appearance were not included

So with all those rules out of the way, just how much is Robert Downey Jr. worth to Marvel and Disney?

The Dark Archer Returns In New 'Arrow' Clip

Posted 5/8/13 3:30 pm EST by in DC Comics, News, TV, Video

Dark Archer

by Ryan Rigley

As all "Arrow" fans know by now, Malcolm Merlyn is a very evil man. Last week, Oliver Queen finally came to the realization that his best friend's father is not only the man responsible for kidnapping Walter Steele, but he's also the man directly responsible for his father's death. However, there's still one thing about Merlyn that Oliver has yet to figure out: he's also the deadly Dark Archer, a.k.a. the only villain in Starling City that has been able to defeat the hooded vigilante.

Tonight's episode of "Arrow," entitled "Darkness on the Edge of Town," is the second to last episode of this season, which means it's guaranteed to be action-packed and full of answers to this season's mysteries. That being said, we have a clip from tonight's "Arrow," featuring the Dark Archer himself, that actually raises more questions than answers. You can check it out below.

'Arrow': Is Green Lantern Coming To Starling City?

Posted 5/8/13 9:52 am EST by in DC Comics, News, TV

Green Lantern Green Arrow

by Brett White

In a recent interview with TV Guide, "Arrow" producer Marc Guggenheim revealed that Green Lantern could possibly appear on the CW series. While there's no official team-up in the works right now, a bit of the Green Lantern mythos will pop up on "Arrow" in the final episodes of the show's first season. Apparently Ferris Air, the company that Hal Jordan was a test pilot for, will be popping up on the show.

"If all goes according to plan, when you see the Ferris Air logo later in the season, it will be the same logo that we established in the ['Green Lantern'] movie. I like tips of the hat."
