DC Comics will be at booth 108. Emerald City Comicon (in the hometown of yours truly) is this weekend, March 1-3.
Comic books have often reflected social issues of the time. Class struggle was a key element in The Dark Knight Rises. The Occupy Wall Street movement is the inspiration for two all-new comic books. Each book will tackle a side of the movement. DC Comics announced the two brand new series via Huffington Post.
Gail Simone (Batgirl, Birds of Prey) and Freddie Williams III (Batwoman) are the creative team on The Movement.
“THE MOVEMENT is an idea I’ve had for some time,” Simone told The Huffington Post. “It’s a book about power — who owns it, who uses it, who suffers from its abuse. As we increasingly move to an age where information is currency, you get these situations where a single viral video Continue reading DC Comics Gets Political!
“Where does he get it all those wonderful toys? Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Tim Burton’s Batman.

Superman soars on the big screen in Man of Steel but you can watch a modern classic Superman story on the small screen at home! Henry Cavill will face off against General Zod (Michael Shannon) but the Kryptonian born hero faces a different arch enemy in Superman Unbound.
In this Nerdist Exclusive preview of the upcoming movie we see Superman, Supergirl, the invasion of Kandor and one of my favorite villians: Brainiac!
The animated film is based on the Geoff Johns Action Comics story. Brainiac started out as a green guy in a pink suit but evolved into a monstrous machine capable of wiping out planets.
Take a look:
Matt Bomer (White Collar) is the voice of the Man of Steel in this film. John Noble (Fringe, Lord of the Rings) is the Brainiac.
Batman: The Court of Owlswas just the beginning! Bruce Wayne defeated the sinister society and their army of assassins. Calvin Rose is the only servant of the Court to break free and it’s payback time in this week’s Talon #2.
Calvin is the ultimate insider. He’s one of the Court’s assassins. In the premiere issue Calvin found a new partner in his mission to bring down the Court forever. This week they invade one of the Court’s most powerful fortresses and discover another of its most twisted mysteries and tragic victims.
Writers Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV are plotting out like story like a seductive trap worthy of the Court’s most devious minds. Calvin’s heist turns into a life or death fight with another Talon with a sick connection to the mysterious organization. Calvin strikes a powerful blow to the Owls – and they’re ready to strike back.
What’s even more deadly than a Talon? The Court unleashes a different kind of killer from their Tomb of the Unworthy and sets the stage for a vicious showdown in upcoming issues. If you love the twisted mystery of the Court of Owls epic in Batman then check out Talon to uncover more of the cabal’s secrets and root for a new DC anti-hero.
When the Batman movie franchise begins again – producers should definitely consider the Court of Owls for a movie – it’s that good!
