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…

Joseph Glass writes for Bleeding Cool; So, this Sunday just gone, a question was asked at Kapow Comic Con in London; a convention that aims to be as big as the US conventions, but over in sunny old Blighty (though I did notice the sun pretty much eluded us this year). It’s a good show,…
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…

So here’s what’s happening. There has been superhero underwear around for ages. You know, for kids. Then they started making them in larger sizes. For big kids. But they still looked the same. So what do you do if you want to wear superhero underwear but don’t want it to look all kiddy? Is there an equivalent of the adult covers for Harry Potter books?
There is now, courtesy of Diesel and DC. But they can’t get away with just doing the underwear, however fancy, no, there has to be some cockamamie story behind it all, teaming Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern and… The Joker? Yes, we’ll get to that bit. Here are the boxers in question.
Holy Batt-butt. Batsignal on the tramp stamp. And an armour design that reveals itself as you… scratch? Does it come with a dose of bat-crabs?
The hotter you get… are these the boxers you want to keep on during sex so you can see if your speeding buddy will join you? Maybe thinking about him may help you… slow down? Or could it be the opposite?
Glow in the dark boxers. Handy when you’re trying to make a 3am exit in the dark, I suppose.
Okay, yes, here we are. Not only can you tell the Joker’s religion with this, but seriously, a “super hero”? In the story he’s referred to as a “renegade”. Well, yes, if being a renegade means having killed tens of thousands of innocent people. And the icongraphy you associate with this character is from an “acid-spewing flower”? So it is quite specifically tied in with the idea of torture, maiming and a slow and lingering death?
Yeah, okay, I want a pair. Certainly if I end up looking like this;
Here’s the video, just as hilarious.
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…
