- Platinum Adapting Hero By Night for TV
Posted on Friday, November 14th, 2008 in Small Press - Comments: (0)One of the biggest problems with being away from blogging for awhile, at least for me, is trying to come back. I feel like I need to write something really interesting to justify all of that time away and the longer I’m gone the bigger the pressure I put on myself to find something good, which makes it even harder to come back and I stay away even longer.
- The Dark Knight For Best Picture
Posted on Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 in DC - Comments: (5)Warner Brothers has begun pushing The Dark Knight for best picture by placing “For Your Consideration” ads in trade papers and across the internet in attempts to sway Oscar voters.

- Drama at DC
Posted on Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 in DC - Comments: (3)Yesterday’s Lying In The Gutters column has the internet abuzz starting with the successful exposure of a con artist presenting himself as the legendary Art Adams (see what I did there with the “con artist thing? HA!) and ending with several rumors about trouble at DC Comics.First there were rumors about trouble between Dan DiDio and Grant Morrison over Final Crisis:A familiar source known collectively as “New York comics industry employees talking in bars” tells me that the last issue of “Final Crisis” is further delayed as it is suffering from serious rewrites.
- Josh Schwartz Writing X-Men First Class
Posted on Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 in Marvel - Comments: (2)Some of you may remember that Josh Schwartz, creator of Gossip Girl, O.C., and Chuck, let it slip a few months ago that he was working on an X-Men movie script, followed by complete radio silence.Last night, Variety confirmed Schwartz’s slip by reporting that Fox and Marvel will be rebooting the X-Men franchise that Brett Ratner ruined with X-Men First Class, produced by Lauren Schooner Donner and written by Josh Schwartz.
- James Robinson Apparently Staying On Superman
Posted on Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 in DC - Comments: (0)Yesterday, I posted about a rumor that Superman writer James Robinson quit over a heated argument with Dan Didio.According to Superman Homepage, Superman editor Matt Idelson has said that this is not true - James Robinson will still be writing Superman.So now you know. And you know what they say about knowing…
- Captain America Recruits Chronicles of Narnia Writers
Posted on Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 in Marvel - Comments: (1)It’s a big day for Marvel comic movie adaptations and writers!While I was on hiatus, Joe Johnston was announced as the director of First Avenger: Captain America. Johnson directed another WWII-era superhero movie, The Rocketeer, and worked on art direction and character design on the Star Wars movies, so I’m optimimistic that he’ll be able to bring a little something extra to Cap.
- 84 Comic Book Movies in the Works!
Posted on Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 in Dark Horse - Comments: (0)Image via WikipediaSo I found myself scrolling through geek news the other night on Fark.com and came across this little tidbit: Den of the Geek . This page has a pretty full list of comic books being turned into movies. I won’t give a full list here but here are a few of the ones that stand out the most:Doctor Strange (2012)Already the subject of two low-budget adaptations (in 1978 and 2007), there have been many contenders to helm and star in the tale of the New York superhero/mystic; Christian Bale - perhaps unimaginatively - is the latest to be offered the cape, while Guillermo del Toro has flirted endlessly with the project, which remains without a confirmed director.
- Heath Ledger For Best Supporting Actor
Posted on Monday, November 24th, 2008 in DC - Comments: (0)Continuing their Dark Knight Oscar push, Warner Brothers has begun circulating “For Your Consideration” ads for Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker.I’m telling you, we old-school geeks are going to be known as visionary trend-setters!
- The Dark Avengers Are Skrulls
Posted on Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 in Marvel - Comments: (2)Since Marvel released a teaser image of the Dark Avengers (nice throwback to the cover of New Avengers #1, by the way), speculation has been rampant over the identities of these team members. I honestly hadn’t been paying much attention until Mike Hayne’s speculation post last week on Panels of Awesome, when it became very clear to me.I’ll get into my ideas after I show you that teaser image I mentioned, along with the “clues” that Marvel released with the image.
- Batman RIP Off
Posted on Thursday, November 27th, 2008 in DC - Comments: (18)First of all, I should warn you that this post contains some spoilers of Batman 681 and the Batman RIP storyline if you’ve yet to read these issues and/or you hate having anything spoiled, you should probably stop reading now and come back when you have everything read.As for the rest of you, I just finished reading the final issue of Batman RIP and.

Posted on Thursday, November 27th, 2008 in Miscellany - Comments: (5)Absolutely brilliant.
- Gay For Spider-Man!
Posted on Saturday, November 29th, 2008 in Marvel - Comments: (2)Mike Haynes’ reposting of his Spider-man toy comics reminded me of some stuff I’d seen on JayPinkerton.com. Basically, he took old Spider-man comics from the newspapers and wrote new dialogue.
