Scott Snyder unleashed the Court of Owls then the Joker at Batman since The New 52 relaunch. Snyder is teaming up with Jim Lee to launch Superman Unchained. Given Snyder’s track record with Batman and Swamp Thing how darker will this Superman book be? He’s what Snyder told Comic Book Resources:

“I really like stories where characters are challenged by their worst fears. Superman is facing someone new and it’s going to shake him. It’s not horror, and there’s humor between the characters, but it’s definitely about dealing with something that frightens him. This is basically the Superman story I would tell if I could only do one. It’s got the full cast and Lex Luthor, but also new Continue reading New Threat in SUPERMAN UNCHAINED

As I watched the big screen trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness right before Iron Man 3 this weekend I immediately thought John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch) is working with the Klingons!

The Federation’s greatest enemy (of the original Star Trek series) were developed but cut from J.J. Abrams first film.

At the Star Trek Into Darkness London premiere Damon Lindelof appears to confirm the inclusion of the alien warriors in the upcoming film and in a possible third movie:

“You can never see enough Klingons, and I think in this film we’ve given the audience a little taste, but there’s also a promise that Continue reading Klingons in STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS and Beyond?

If you’ve seen the Man of Steel trailer you can see the earth quake as Superman takes off. It’s no gentle liftoff but a blast. Superman’s flying affects the atmosphere causing a sonic boom.

Henry Cavill is soaring as Superman over Metropolis in this new poster from Warner Brothers on Yahoo. Kal-El looks like a determined missile. Flying for this hero is work according to director Zach Snyder.

  “It’s a more violent experience,” Snyder tells SFX Magazine.

  “It’s raw. It takes Continue reading MAN OF STEEL Soars In New Poster!

The new Star Wars comic book series from Dark Horse Comics is thrilling fans with new stories set after events in Star Wars: A New Hope. Leia is flying X-wings and uncovering Imperial spies. Luke is flirting with another pilot. Han and Chewbacca are on a secret mission. Writer Brian Wood reveals Han Solo is the most fun to write in an interview with Comic Book Resources.

“It’s kind of fun writing him being a dick and with his sarcasm and banter back and forth with Chewbacca,” Wood said and it’s easy to hear Harrison Ford’s voice in his head.

Princess Leia is Continue reading Brian Wood Talks STAR WARS
