After the Zack Snyder directed Man of Steel sequel a Justice League movie will soar into cinemas according to a new report.
The Superman vs. Batman film starts production next month. Henry Cavill returns as Clark/Kal El, Ben Affleck will play Batman and Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman. Ray Fisher was just cast as Cyborg but no word on if he will just play scientist Victor Stone or become the half-machine hero in the film.
A new hero joins the Superman vs. Batman movie. Let the speculation begin.
Ray Fisher will play Cyborg in the untitled Man of Steel sequel. Could it mean the Superman (Henry Cavill) vs. Batman (Ben Affleck) film could be the foundation for a New 52 version of a Justice League film?
Gal Gadot is playing Wonder Woman. Is Cyborg a major fourth heroic role or a supporting character Warner Brothers has bigger (or should I say Titanic) plans for? Continue reading CYBORG SUPERHERO MOVIE FUTURE
The Man of Steel sequel will add another DC icon to the growing list of heroes (Batman, Wonder Woman.) Variety reports Ray Fisher has been cast as Victor Stone aka Cyborg in the untitled sequel.
Victor Stone was a member of the Titans and not really connected to Superman or the Dark Knight. When DC Comics The New 52 relaunched the Justice League – Victor was a founding member along with Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent. Continue reading SUPERMAN BATMAN Movie Casts CYBORG
Teen Titans rise again but not it’s a whole new team in a new world.
DC Comics announced Teen Titans: Earth One by superstar creative team Jeff Lemire (Green Arrow, Justice League United, Futures End) and Terry and Rachel Dodson. This is the latest volume of the Earth One graphic novels following Superman and Batman.
It’s Black History Month in North America and the United Kingdom.
I’m inspired to celebrate some of my favorite African-American superheroes and update fans on their status in their comic book universes.
These fictional characters are not as important as civil rights leaders, boundary breaking athletes, artists or scientists. It’s important to celebrate diversity in comic books. The irony is most these fan-favorite black characters were created by white males but by recognizing these heroes it might inspire new writers and artists of all backgrounds to push for new voices to be heard and give all readers more diversity in comics. Continue reading Black History Month Comics Countdown Part 1
DC Comics is teasing the return of the Cyborg Superman with this stunning portrait by current Superman artist Kenneth Rocafort and the coy words of Editor Bob Harras:
“Some of you might remember the last time a Cyborg Superman showed up. Would we dare revisit such a classic storyline? Hmmm. Well, never say never, right? As I’ve been telling you, all bets are off. Everything’s on the table.
Sorry to make your head explode on a Friday, but enjoy Kenneth Rocafort’s lovely sketch in the meantime. We’ll be in the conference room discussing … oh, never mind.”
Hank Henshaw was an astronaut damaged by radiation on a mission and downloaded into a cyborg body – all were projects and products of Lexcorp!
Justice League is looking to expand their roster after the events of Throne of Atlantis. Cyborg recruits up and coming heroes via the Grid but who will answer the call?

As we celebrate Black History Month in North America and the United Kingdom I was inspired to think about my favorite African-American superheroes. While these fictional characters are not as important as civil rights leaders, boundary breaking athletes and artists or scientists who made a powerful contributions to our world I think seeing diversity in comic books makes an impact…on everyone.
Before I reveal my top 10 I want to say this was tough and I know some of you have your favorites like Steel aka John Henry Irons, Batwing, Shadowhawk, Spawn, Photon, Static and not to mention non-superhero characters like Michonne and Tyreese of The Walking Dead, but these are the ten characters (+ one because I just couldn’t leave her off!) that I’ve loved and stayed with me.
11 Vixen Mari Jiwe McCabe grew up in remote village in the fictional African country of Zambesi. Mari’s family were holders of a mystical totem but he uncle killed her parents and stolen the totem. Mari moved to America, became an international supermodel, built a fortune and traveled to her homeland to take back her family’s totem and became known as Vixen. With the totem Mari can mimic the abilities of any animal on Earth. Mari a member of the Justice League. In the DC Comics New 52 relaunch Vixen was injured but recently seen as one of the possible new recruits Cyborg will call on to join the new Justice League.

10 Spider-Man Miles Morales became a media sensation when Marvel revealed the new Ultimate Spider-Man was of African-American and Latino descent. Like Peter Parker, Miles is a science nerd bitten by a radioactive spider but his powers are slightly different. Miles recently met the Peter Parker of “our” Marvel Universe in the crossover smash, Spider-Men.

9. Patriot Elijah Bradley is the grandson of Isiah Bradley, the first Captain America. (Isiah was among the black men who served as test subjects before the Super Soldier Serum was given to Steve Rogers. This story was told in the series Truth: Red, White & Black.) Eli became a founding member of the Young Avengers. These teen heroes wanted to fight crime and carry on the legacy of the Avengers who had disbanded at the time. I don’t want to give away the secet of Eli’s powers (told in the Young Avengers series) but his is a great story of young man trying to do right and honor his past. Eli is a great leader and strategist in the tradition of Captain America. A brand new Young Avengers series just relaunched but Eli is not on the team. I’m hoping Patriot will soon be appearing in the Marvel Now, maybe even joining the main Avengers?
