The upcoming Warner Premiere and DC Entertainment release of The Dark Knight Returns has been a long time coming, though I believe you heard about it here first. Frank Miller and Klaus Janson’s comic has been divided into two films for this adaptation, the first of which will be released later this year, the second…
At Kapow in London, during the Avengers Vs X-Men panel with Kieron Gillen, CB Cebulski and Joe Quesada, they showed off some upcoming Avengers Vs X-Men pages… one of which seems to show a certain Professor X returning for issue 6… We also got a teaser that Illyana and Black Widow will star in an…
One question asked at the DC panel today at the Kapow comic convention in London, was about DC co-publisher Dan DiDio’s interview with The Advocate. Specifically over the decision not to change any character’s sexual orientation when relaunching the DC Universe. At the time Dan stated they would introduce new LGBT characters rather than switch…

The latest Stand Up To Cancer promotion is a tie in with the newly-Blu Star Wars. There’s a range of character T-shirts, and also this amusing video of funny people, made especially to encourage you to donate.
So… here are those comedians and actors you like* acting out bits of that film you like.**
I don’t know who the guy playing R2-D2 is but he’s really got it down.
Now that I’ve posted this, of course, I’m going to have to buy one of the T-shirts and not be a blazing hypocrite. They’re not really my thing, though, so I’ll buy one for a Bleeding Cool reader instead.
E-mail me and tell me your size, which design you want and where I should send it to, and then I’ll choose one of you and make the order over the weekend.
Right. That’s enough looking at people acting out Star Wars – I’ve got to get back to watching people talking about acting out Star Wars. The next part of my ongoing coverage of the Blu-rays is due this afternoon and there’s still more special features to guzzle down first.
*I’ll debate most of them with you but probably not Emma Stone or Samuel L Jackson. I think she’s the best comedienne of this generation and carving out a great legacy of work, and he’s already earned his place in the pantheon.
**Who doesn’t like it at least a bit, even if they do prefer the next, more grown up one?
Yesterday, Fox News decided to suggest that because DC have plans to reintroduce one of their iconic characters to the New 52 as a gay man, that meant that Superman might be gay. Today, the closest (and I originally mispelt that as “closet”) thing the UK has to Fox News, the Daily Mail does the…
What would you do if you met a visitor from another time? Michael Moran finds out when he sees a movie sequel that’s at least a decade overdue. Has time been kind to Earth’s shadowy guardians?
“One of the major iconic DC characters will reveal that he is gay in a storyline in June” That’s the comment DC’s Senior VP Publicity Courtney Simmons gave to ABC News from Burbank when asked for comment on the story we ran yesterday, that DC were to reintroduce a preexisting character into the New DCU,…
Thanks to Fox for this one. Honchos at Superman’s comic book home, DC Comics, said this weekend that one of their most identifiable (but as of yet unnamed) straight characters will soon be coming out of the closet, according to a report. No, and I was there. Dan DiDio, DC Comics co-publisher said that a…
It seems an age since C2E2. But an interview conducted by CBR with Dan Slott at the show has only just gone online. In which Slott stated that Marvel Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso has been contacting other creators on other Marvel books to ensure they reflect… whatever change is coming with Amazing Spider-Man #700 towards the…
Just as DC Comics is turning the headlines purple with the news at Kapow that a previously established character would be rebooted as a gay person, so Marvel Comics announced they have their own headlines in mind. Tune into ABC at 11a/10a E/C tomorrow as the hosts of ABC’s The View exclusively reveal a major…
