Super Bowl XLIV led Twitter Report trending last night, and while there was a lot of love for the New Orleans Saints, the halftime show and commercials struck some nerves. Everybody seemed to enjoy Jay Leno's appearance on a sofa with David Letterman, though.

Back in the land of comics talk, chatter about the rumored "Watchmen" sequel was back in play as well, and Brian Michael Bendis and Bryan Hitch have both been inspired. Check out their posts after the jump, along with info on Jon Favreau's dinner with Edgar Wright.

It's all retweeted in the Twitter Report for February 8, 2010. Read more...

With the release of "Iron Man 2" rapidly approaching, director Jon Favreau has revealed that the music score for the film is currently being recorded.

On Sunday, Favreau mentioned on his Twitter account that it was his first day in London to oversee the "Iron Man 2" scoring sessions. The first "Iron Man" film was scored by Ramin Djawadi. However, the sequel will be composed by John Debney.

While Djawadi's "Iron Man" score was noted for its rock influence, Debney's score is expected to feature a more "orchestral" sound for which he is well known. Some of Debney's previous scoring credits include Frank Miller's "Sin City", "End of Days" and the 1996 "Doctor Who" television movie. Read more...

The two-hour season premiere of "Lost" got everyone's timeline senses tingling, but it only took "Iron Man 2" director Jon Favreau one word to clarify fans' understanding of Marvel movie continuity.

When asked via Twitter where (or rather, when) "Iron Man 2" falls in relation to 2008's "Incredible Hulk," Favreau said the upcoming sequel actually falls "before" Edward Norton's adventure as the green goliath.

Of course, this seems to make perfect sense, given what we know of "Iron Man 2" and the final scene of "Incredible Hulk," in which Tony Stark approaches General Ross in a bar to talk with him about his "unusual problem." Read more...

Do you want to know how stir up some animosity and snark in the comics community? Announce that Alan Moore's "Watchmen" is getting a sequel. Mark Waid, Ande Parks and Brandon Jerwa all had responses to the rumors, and there aren't too many creators out there who seem to be excited about the idea.

And speaking of franchises that went overboard on sequels, some pretty awesome Star Wars homage artwork has been showing up on "Mouse Guard" creator David Petersen's Twitter account, and I highly recommend giving that a look. The links are retweeted after the jump along with Jamal Igle's thoughts on Batman porn, Rob Liefeld's Oscar predictions and the one DC Comics book that Mike Choi wants to draw.

The Vikings/Saints match-up in the NFL's NFC Championship Game last night is still creating a lot of chatter today, and it brought the sports fans in the comics industry to Twitter en masse. New Orleans backers, Brett Favre critics and others showed up with opinions, including Jon Favreau, Eric Powell and Frank Tieri.

Outside of the sports world, where many comics people feel more comfortable, there were a lot of geek tweets percolating. Jon Rosenberg named his pick to star as Khan in a "Star Trek" sequel, and Marc Bernardin checked out a trailer for "Mass Effect 2." Their linked-up commentary, along with a post from Neil Gaiman about his pet that may break your heart a little bit are listed after the jump.

Late-night Twitterers may have caught a note from "Spider-Man" carjacker Michael Papajohn last night revealing that he's been cast in a "Jonah Hex" role for the reshoots currently going on. Jon Favreau offered a brief update on his "Iron Man 2" editing as well.

In paper comics tweets, Chris Eliopoulos has been slaving over "Pet Avengers" pages and seems to have reached a few benchmarks. Jeff Lemire, meanwhile, moved into a new house and has a fresh workspace for "Sweet Tooth." You can read those retweets below along with a note on the second anniversary of Heath Ledger's death, Stan Lee's advice for the "Big Bang Theory" cast and Bryan Lee O'Malley's recollection of a Harry Potter dream.

Two men with far-reaching influences on the comics industry have passed away, and both Taco Bell founder Glen W. Bell Jr. and crime writer Robert B. Parker appeared in various tweets this morning. Check out the posts below and you'll find out which well-known artist used to work at a Taco Bell and which writer steamrolled through Parker's novels when he was in junior high.

In other news, Jon Favreau's tireless efforts to complete "Iron Man 2" continue, and he says he's on the "home stretch" right now — the beginning of the end, in other words. The Twitter Report will continue to cheer him on until we've got a film to watch, just as Brian Michael Bendis' kids anxiously anticipate the next episode of "iCarly." Find out why, as well as what Jeff Lemire's inks for the "Sweet Tooth" #9 cover look like and what Tom Brevoort thinks of the Marvel/DC rivalry after the jump.

Leno and Conan have officially set off a firestorm in the Twitterverse, and in an effort to keep today's Twitter Report varied, I've limited its appearance to three retweets from Jonathan Hickman, Matt Fraction and Chris Ryall, who I think represent the public response quite well. I'm still searching for pro-Leno tweets, though, so let me know if you find them.

Meanwhile in Hollywood, Jon Favreau is still acting as a mole from the "Thor" set. I think he figures if he tweets enough, people will start to think he's directing the movie and Kenneth Branagh will give in and join Twitter himself. Last night, he revealed that he's seen Thor's hammer. Check out that post along with original Dazzler artwork from Jill Thompson, Neil Gaiman eating breakfast and Stan Lee on his guest appearance in "The Big Bang Theory."

The fate of the Spider-Man movie franchise has been bouncing around on everyone's tweets in the comics world today. Brian Michael Bendis won't admit to knowing anything, though he encourages everyone reading his tweets to suggest his services to Sony. Stan Lee, meanwhile, is just excited to know people are talking about Spider-Man, and Erik Larsen just wanted the new film to be better than "Superman Returns."

In other tweets, Jon Favreau promised Kenneth Branagh that he would hang out on the "Thor" set a lot more, and Andy Diggle wants to see Favreau use that presence to get Branagh on Twitter. Check out those posts after the jump along with a post in memory of French director Eric Rohmer and Len Wein's desire to know what it means when someone says they feel like him.

Now that Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire have officially departed the "Spider-Man" franchise, it's well worth pondering who the next director and lead actor to join the property are going to be.

While "Spider-Man 3" certainly suffered its fair share of criticism, the combination of Raimi and Maguire won over the majority of fans in the initial two installments. Finding adequate replacements isn't good enough — Sony needs to find the best of the best.

For now, let's focus on the director's chair. Raimi's shoes are big ones to fill — he brought the indie sensibilities of his "Evil Dead" days to "Spider-Man," offering a unique take on the character and his world that no other director could replicate. Given that, a drastically different approach is a must, but not one lacking in the same kind of quality. These five directors could go a long way towards taking the "Spider-Man" franchise in a bold new direction. Read more...
