Operation Save Clark Kent nabbed a bunch of images from the upcoming “Idol” episode of Smallville, that features the debut of the Wonder Twins. They don’t particularly look like twins, or aliens, nor does it look like they form water, or an eagle. Also absent is a monkey. At least they are wearing purple! The other preview images at the site looks like the twins are going to try and pull a “I am Spartacus!” moment at some point…
Have I told you how I hate the fact that DC canceled Legends of the Dark Knight? No? I’m sure Matthew wouldn’t mind me going on for a bit, but I’ll save that for another Major Spoilers Podcast where I can make Matthew jump about like an ape gone mad flinging poo at the floor and then rolling around it in. Instead, today’s Art Appreciation Moment of the Day showcases what might have been from Kelsey Shannon had DC allowed the series to continue.
From independent publisher Earthbound Comics comes the latest installment of their Lady Fight anthology, Lady Fight: Escalation. Check out the black and white glory with three original stories featuring EePee, Soverain, and Cat. 5.
IGN has posted the character posters for the upcoming Mark Millar Kick-Ass movie, and they look pretty… well, Kick-Ass!
Dave Lizewski doesn’t have superpowers, isn’t particularly strong or smart, and isn’t extraordinary in any way… aside from his desire to be a hero. Donning a scuba suit, a ski mask, and a pair of clubs, Dave hits the underworld hard in his new persona of Kick-Ass. Though not as hard — at first anyway — as they hit him when he’s severely beaten and hospitalized as a result of his first street fight. No one said being a hero was going to be easy…
When all four of the posters are joined together, they do indeed spell out Kick-Ass, which should be interesting to see on the wall in the more conservative areas of the country. What am I saying, this movie probably won’t be picked up by those theater chains at all.
The movie is scheduled to open April 16, 2010.
The Wall Street Journal has a good article outlining H’wood’s big drive to turn popular toy properties into movies.
The craze for toy-driven feature films has given rise to a new term in the Hollywood lexicon. In production meetings, studio executives have begun asking if a particular project is “toyetic” — meaning whether its concept can lend itself to a toy, and whether the project will be able to sell tickets and merchandise.
Toward the end of the article, the next big toy to movie announcement is made. Hasbro recently acquired the rights to the Micronauts, and is looking at J.J. Abrams to produce the movie adaptation.
This weekend, the Black Panther makes his debut on The Super Hero Squad Show as he tries to protect his teammates from the big-headed baddie M.O.D.O.K.
Halloween may have been last week, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. This week we’re getting you to sing-along to Hoobastank’s cover of Ghostbusters, one of those classic songs that pretty much gets everyone in the car to sing along. Unless you are my two-year-old son, in which case he cries until everyone stops.
