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…
The first trailer for The Hobbit was generous to the point of overflowing with new images, ideas and characters – not to mention the already-a-cult-smash Dwarven song. Here are my rough and basic notes on just some of the riches scattered through those two and a half minutes. I’d love to hear about anything you…
Dean Butters writes for Bleeding Cool; In defense of appropriation and Sharon Moody (who I have never met or even heard of until the article on Bleeding Cool) When I first read Scott Edelman’s article about Sharon Moody’s work, I was disappointed. While undeniably passionate about comics, Edelman seemed oblivious to the history of appropriation…
This week, a number of the DC Universe books end with the maiming or killing or someone close to the main character – by one of the main characters. I won’t tell you which, obviously. Why not collect them all? Captain Atom #4′s artist, Freddie Williams excels this issue, his art style loosening up even…
For the couple of minutes you spend watching the first trailer for The Hobbit, you might feel like a long, long wait is over… …shortly afterwards, you may remember that a long, long wait still lies ahead as The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is almost a year away. And the second film in the series,…
Though it will be eventually post-converted and released in 3D, JJ Abrams has decided to shoot his Star Trek sequel on film and in 2D. And while it still sounds to be up in the air, he also says that there have been discussions about using IMAX large-format film for the project.
The Samurai’s Blood trade paperback by Owen Wiseman and Nam Kim , published by Image, produced by Benaroya Publishing, is on the 29th of February. Which is nice. But before that, why not read the full first issue, right here, right now. And here’s the solicit; Set in feudal Japan, an era when lineage defined…
DC’s New 52 Free Comic Book Day title, as well as showing off the best of the relaunched titles, will also offer retailers the chance to show themselves off too. Customizable covers have become quite the rage, wth Avatar, IDW and Marvel offering multiple versions of covers for specific retailers who qualify. But this time…
The Dark Knight Rises – Official Trailer /… by Lyricis This trailer needs no introduction. Thanks to Apple.
Six years ago, DC Comics changed their logo from the decades old DC bullet designed by Milton Glazer to the “DC Swoosh” designed by Josh Beatman of Brainchild Studio. As always, with these things, it was instantly mocked, compared to washing powder logos, that sort of thing. But now it’s kind of sunk in, appearing…
As work on The Dark Knight Rises continues and more and more people get involved with what must amount to Warner Bros. biggest ongoing project, the trickle of behind-the-scenes information into the ear holes of Bleeding Cool has become faster and heavier. One well tried and certainly trusted individual has handed us a few puzzle…
Scott Edelman writes for Bleeding Cool; I was reading the December 12 issue of the New York Observer when I spotted something that irked me. What was it in particular that I suddenly felt a need to bring to your attention? Something I saw in a half page ad for the Bernarducci Meisel Gallery. It…
Kudos to Erlingur Gretar for his fascinating interview with Ridley Scott regarding the mysteries, philosophies and design of Prometheus. Scott does trot out some of his favourite lines about the film – and acknowledges that he’s doing so – but he also opens up, brilliantly. It’s worth a read, top-to-bottom, for any amount of revelations,…
Chip Kidd’s Batman graphic novel Death By Design is scheduled for March. Here he talks at the Pivot: AIGA Design Conference about how he got the job… and what he has planned.
He may have resigned as CEO, President and the like from Wizard World. But some have wondered as to what involvement in the company Gareb Shamus. Put bluntly, what exactly does he own? I think it’s fair to say that through a series of events, some public, some not, Gareb Shamus has become tainted in…
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…
