'Arrow': Extended Promo For 'Unfinished Business'

Posted 3/29/13 1:45 pm EST by in DC Comics, TV, Video

by Brett White

At this point, "Arrow" is pretty much doing a victory lap. Fans were skeptical of the series at first, mostly because they dropped "Green" from the title. But the last few episodes have introduced crucial characters from the comics into the show and brought old favorites back into the fold. They've even pleased fans by promising a lot more Roy Harper and Deathstroke in season two.

Now the CW has released this extended promo for next Wednesday's episode of "Arrow," with sees Seth Gabel return as the Count.

Superman

by Brett White

If you are a theater owner or operator, get ready to see some new "Man of Steel" footage during this year's CinemaCon (and if you aren't an owner or operator, start working towards that promotion now!). The event lasts from April 15th-18th. Comic Book.com broke the news after some snooping around. Apparently April 16th is the rumored date for a new "Man of Steel" trailer, which coincidentally is the same date as Warner Bros. presentation at CinemaCon. Word is that some Superman footage will be shown in the presentation, along with footage from all of Warner Bros. other big summer movies.

Arrow Salvation

by Ryan Rigley

As if there weren't enough psychotic justice-seekers roaming the streets of Starling City, last night's episode of "Arrow" introduced us to another crazed vigilante inspired by Oliver Queen's hooded heroics. "Salvation" begins with a news report about John Nickel, one of the wealthiest real estate developers in the city and also one of the dirtiest. Hooding up, Oliver heads over to Nickel's penthouse only to find that he's been kidnapped by a madman who calls himself the Savior.

SPOILERS (and kissing) AHEAD!

A.R.G.U.S. Teased by 'Arrow' Producer

Posted 3/27/13 11:00 am EST by in DC Comics, News, TV

Arrow

by Ryan Rigley

Look out, S.H.I.E.L.D.! There's a new shady organization in town with an acronym that's shorter and easier to remember. Earlier this week, Marc Guggenheim (producer of the CW's "Arrow") teased the debut of A.R.G.U.S. (Advanced Research Group Uniting Super-Humans) in an upcoming episode.

However, sticking to the "Arrow" theme of no superpowers, A.R.G.U.S. will now stand for Advanced Research Group United Support. Created by DC Comics' Geoff Johns and Gene Ha, A.R.G.U.S. first made its appearance in "Justice League" #7. How the organization will fit into the world of "Arrow" remains to be seen, but there is one thing that is for certain: A.R.G.U.S. will be coming into direct contact with Oliver Queen.

'Man Of Steel': Did David Goyer Hint At Lex Luthor?

Posted 3/26/13 10:30 am EST by in DC Comics, News, Uncategorized

Man of Steel

by Brett White

In an interview with I Am Rogue, "Man of Steel" screenwriter David Goyer kinda-sorta confirmed/didn't really deny Lex Luthor's involvement in the upcoming Superman reboot. Up until now I've operated under the assumption that General Zod (Michael Shannon) will be the only bad guy Superman scraps with in this summer's film. But when asked about the decision to exclude Superman's most iconic villain from the film, Goyer replied:

"I don’t think anyone has ever confirmed that we haven’t included him."

J.J. Abrams Gives Empire The Dirt On 'Superman Flyby'

Posted 3/22/13 12:49 pm EST by in DC Comics, News

J.J. Abrams

by Brett White

An excerpt from May's issue of Empire Magazine is making the rounds today, most likely because it contains the most comprehensive take on J.J. Abrams' lost Superman film from the man himself. Comic Book Movie states that the treatment was delivered to Warner Bros. in 2002, when the most impressive items on J.J. Abrams' resume were "Felicity" and "Alias." The project, called "Superman Flyby," contained a more psychological take on the hero.

"The thing that I tried to emphasize in the story was that if the Kents found this boy, Kal-El, who had the power that he did, he would have most likely killed them both in short order. And the idea that these parents would see – if they were lucky to survive long enough – that they had to immediately begin teaching this kid to limit himself and to not be so fast, not be so strong, not be so powerful."

Check out the rest of Abrams' pitch, as well as some concept art, below.

Man of Steel

A copy of the poster can be purchased on the organization's website, making it a perfect purchase for librarians and English teachers that are more than a little tired of "Hang In There Kitty" motivational posters.

'The Dark Knight': Is There Anything Wrong With It?

Posted 3/21/13 1:00 pm EST by in DC Comics, Uncategorized, Video

TDK

Got a bone to pick with "The Dark Knight"? The folks at CinemaSins did, and they put together a video highlighting everything they found wrong with Christopher Nolan's second Batman movie in just four minutes.

How did no one notice the Joker driving through a hole in a bank in the middle of Gotham City? Where did the Tumbler come from when it drives into that parking structure to capture Scarecrow (again)? And how did the Joker perfectly time the bombs to go off with Harvey Dent and Rachel when he had no idea when the other events surrounding his capture would take place? Don't expect any answers in here, but instead for the "sins" against "The Dark Knight" to pile up.
