Tune in to the 2012 MTV Movie Awards

Iron ManYou'll have to pardon the tremor in our regular features over the last week, folks -- there was this little thing called Comic-Con happening in San Diego that threw us off our normal routine. Here's hoping the ridiculous amount of Comic-Con coverage we sent your way more than makes up for the shuffled schedule.

To that end, the results from last week's poll seem like a good place to get back on track. We asked readers to vote on the comic book movie they were most looking forward to hearing about during the big show, and the results were, well... less than surprising. Read More...

Kick-AssThere's no arguing that San Diego's annual Comic-Con International has drifted a long ways from being your standard comic book convention, but there's also no denying that it's become the place to get the first look at many of the most-anticipated movies based on your favorite comics.

So, even if you're not attending the big show, what film are you most looking forward to hearing about during the next few days?And who will be the show's "big winner" as far as convention buzz?

Voting in this poll will end Monday, July 27, at 12 PM EST. Make sure to post a comment here (or via Twitter) with your reasons for voting the way you did, as I’ll be selecting responses from readers to feature in a post about the results. Read More...

Spider-Man & BatmanLast week's poll asked readers to vote on the comic book movie sequel they're most eager to see, and when all the votes were tallied, Hollywood heavy-hitters Spider-Man and Batman both emerged victorious with the most-wanted follow-ups to their respective films.

In the end, "Spider-Man 4" and "Batman 3" tied for the top vote-getters in the poll, each nabbing 29 percent of the total votes. However, Jon Favreau's just-wrapped "Iron Man 2" followed closely on their tails, tallying 26 percent of the votes.

After the top three options, it wasa big jump down to the rest of the poll's choices. Read More...

Iron ManSure, characters like Green Lantern and Captain america aremaking their debut on the big screen soon, but there are also quite a few comic book characters with well-established films behind them -- and more on the way.

While "Iron Man 2" looms largest right now, there's also a good chance we'll see more of Batman, Spider-Man, Hellboy, Wolverine, and anyone who managed to survive "Wanted" and "300" (though the pickings are slim in both of those films). Heck, Nicolas Cage said we might even see more of Ghost Rider in the days to come.

So, which comic book movie sequel are you looking forward to the most? Read More...

Johnny DeppIn last week's poll, I asked readers to vote on the "Batman 3" rumors they wished were true. From Cher playing Catwoman and Christopher Nolan exiting the franchise to Philip Seymour Hoffman playing The Penguin and Christian Bale taking his growl elsewhere, there's been no shortage of rumors surrounding the next installment of the Batman film franchise. And no rumor has been without its share of fans, either.

When all the votes were tallied, however, the margin of votes between the most popular rumor and the next wish-it-was-true option was one of the largest in any of our polls thus far. And while the winner isn't much of a surprise, the support for some of the other might raise a few eyebrows (and cause some heart palpitations) among the Batman faithful. Read More...

Green LanternAfter today's announcement regarding the three actors contending for the lead role in the "Green Lantern" movie, there's been no small amount of chatter around the InterWebs about who should play Hal Jordan in the character's big-screen debut.

Is "The Hangover" star Bradley Cooper best suited to play DC's cocky pilot-turned-superhero, or is "Deadpool" actor Ryan Reynolds more the cosmic policeman type? And what about pop star and budding actor Justin Timberlake? Here's your chance to tell the world who you think should bring Hal Jordan to the screen. Read More...

Christian Bale & BatmanEver since the first moment "The Dark Knight" showed signs of being one of last year's hit films, rumors have surrounded the next potential project in the reinvented Batman franchise. From casting and characters to the return of the director responsible for the first two films, Christopher Nolan, there's been no shortage of predictions regarding the project informally known as "Batman 3" -- even without official notice that there will be another film.

While some of the rumors been flat-out crazy, others seem to have at least some small amount of support. And some rumors, well... let's just say there are a few out there that Batman fans certainly wish were true, no matter how unlikely they seem.

Those are the rumors we're interested in for this week's poll, folks. Read More...

The AvengersFor last week's poll, I asked readers which of the upcoming Marvel Studios movies had you most excited -- and while there was indeed a winner of the coveted "Most-Anticipated Marvel Movie" title, the results also indicated that there's an impressive level of excitement for all of the Marvel movies.

In the end, Marvel's "Avengers" nabbed the top spot in our survey of Splash Page readers, pulling in 29 percent of the total vote. However, it's worth noting that Tony Stark and "Iron Man 2" weren't far behind the superhero team-up project. Read More...

The AvengersLast week we asked you which of the potential X-Men movies you'd like to see first, and you showed up in big numbers to register your vote for "Deadpool," "X-Men: First Class," "X-Men Origins: Magneto" or the "Wolverine" sequel. Well, we're going with Marvel again for this week's poll, and asking you which of the upcoming Marvel Studios films you're looking forward to the most.

The odds-on favorite is certainly the in-production "Iron Man 2," but could Kenneth Branagh's "Thor" have fans even more excited? And what about "The First Avenger: Captain America" -- could Cap's recent return from the dead spark a bonfire of buzz? And then there's "The Avengers," which begs the question: do more superheroes mean more anticipation? Read More...

Deadpool vs. WolverineLast week, we asked you which of the potential movies involving Marvel's X-Men you'd most like to see, and after a week of voting, it looks like we have a winner for the title of "Most-Wanted X-Men Movie."

With more than 30 percent of the total votes, Ryan Reynolds' recently announced "Deadpool" spin-off movie was the favorite among a fairly large number of voters. Splash Page readers came out in force to support the ol' Merc With A Mouth, and it sounds like they're not letting the character's much-debated debut in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" dampen any of their enthusiasm for the character.
