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…
Phonogram: The Singles Club, the second volume of the series from Image, by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie, has now hit digital. The first issue is free, downloadable on ComiXology, but we also took this opprtunity to make it available free on Bleeding Cool as well, below. Open publication – Free publishing – More bleedingcool…
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…
It seems like Captain Jack isn’t the only bisexual in the good Doctor’s cadre of travelling companions as Steven Moffat has now outed River Song via Twitter. So in the “fine tradition” of the British Tabloids, here’s the picture that proves River Songs would kiss a girl and like it (and, of course, a boy,…
From one of today’s top topics: US audiences who sat down eagerly last week to watch the imported second series of Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’ Sherlock were disappointed to find that the 90 minute episode A Scandal In Belgravia had been cut down to 82 minutes in order to allow for the necessary “words…
For purveyors of online video communities like Youtube and Blip, there’s often nothing more frustrating than having to sit through a 30 second ad just to watch a 2 minute video. So what if for every second of advert you have to watch, a second of the video you actually want to watch is edited…
The opening episode of the next series of Doctor Who, we believe, is the one with the cornucopia of Daleks. Every size, shape and colour of killer pepperpot putting their subtle differences aside to exterminate as one. Can’t wait. Well, can wait. Have to wait. The episode has been slated to premiere this August, somewhere…
It probably didn’t take too much to guess which story would form the basis of the next episode of Sherlock. The last chapter saw Holmes fake his death, and the next one will see him return, and that all points to an adaptation of The Adventure of the Empty House, the story wherein Conan Doyle…
The BBC’s in-house magazine Ariel recently went from online to print, but luckily it’s now open to people outside of Auntie’s club, and we can all have a snoop. This morning they published a key quote from Beryl Vertue, producer of Sherlock, on the occasion of her address to the Nations and Regions Media conference in…
Some clever soul has created opening titles for an animated version of The BBC’s Sherlock. The sound is pretty poor, but the character designs are winning and all-in-all it’s spookily authentic looking. Crikey… I think I’d probably watch that. The video was first posted late last year. How did I miss it for so long?…
The thrust of it is simple: Watson masked her gender when recounting her adventures with the World’s Only Consulting Detective.
In an unexpected deviation from the original Conan Doyle stories, not to mention the BBC show Sherlock that we’ve been (unfairly?) comparing it to at every turn, it just so happens that the Holmes-in-New York series Elementary is going to have a female Watson.
Shelly Horwitz writes for Bleeding Cool. Friends, nerds, countrymen – lend me your cheekbones. There’s a rumour that Benedict Cumberbatch, of the BBC’s Sherlock and Tinker Tailor fame, is being considered for a turn as the Master in Doctor Who‘s 50th anniversary season. According to The Express, Steven Moffat, the showrunner for both Who and…
This is starting to look creepy. Like Single White Female Creepy. CBS have cast Benedict Cumberbatch’s sometime alter ego as… well, Benedict Cumberbatch’s alter ego in their New York-set, modern day take on the Sherlock Holmes stories. The part has gone to Jonny Lee Miller, who last year starred in Danny Boyle’s stage production of…
From Josh Adams, son of Neal Adams, and comics creator and commentator in his own right… the episode in question is now available on DVD. PS. Thanks for the retweet, Steven…
Below you’ll see a photo of a poster, hanging on a bus shelter. It was taken by Little Bleeder Ian, who wondered: I don’t know if this is genuine viral marketing or just a bunch of students. You can see a #believeinsherlock hashtag on the bottom right hand corner. I went to Twitter and searched…
Week two of my Monday morning slot on Glide FM and I’m not quite where I want to be with this yet, but it’s getting there. Let me keep practicing. Today, I talked about Lars von Trier’s Melancholia and the second season of Sherlock, both of which are available on UK DVD and Blu-ray today….
Nobody has seen anything of CBS’ upcoming mystery show Elementary yet, because not a single scene has been shot, but there’s certainly something familiar about the concept: Sherlock Holmes, but in the modern day. Admittedly that’s quite a vague description so while the concern is that the Network are planning little more than a rip-off…
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…
