Our weekly round-up of all the big news stories from the world of movie superheroes…
It's been another busy week for Batman fans as The Dark Knight Rises marketing campaign continues to pick up the pace ahead of the film's arrival next month. Earlier in the week, two new TV spots were released, along with a host of set reports and cast interviews as Warner Bros. lifted the embargo on sites lucky enough to receive an invite to the Pittsburgh set of the hugely anticipated sequel. You can check out a selection of the set reports at Batman-on-Film, HitFlix, IGN, Movies.com and SuperHeroHype, but the pick of the bunch comes from Collider, who have posted separate interviews with Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway and producer Emma Thomas, in addition to a detailed '20 Things to Know About The Dark Knight Rises' feature...

What Happened To The Trailer for Excision?!
1 June 2012 9:56 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
So a few weeks back, our Icons staffer Justin brought to my attention this little indie flick called Excision via his news post here about it. I had never heard of writer/director Richard Bates Jr who makes his feature length debut with this flick, but I was immediately blown away by the concept, the tone, the content and the pacing of the trailer, all brilliantly cut to Nine Inch Nails “Closer”; a fitting backdrop considering the films’ subject matter. Shortly thereafter, the trailer was yanked off You Tube for copyright infringement, which at first I was a little confused by. Did the trailer leak out earlier than it was supposed to? What was the reasoning behind the sudden pull for a trailer that was unanimously getting some mighty high praise across the board?
Turns out for whatever reason that Nine Inch Nails track wasn’t approved and a replacement »

The HeyUGuys UK DVD/Blu-Ray Release Round-Up – 28th May
28 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Last week saw the release of Alexander Payne’s Oscar-winning The Descendants and Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire, and this week brings to our shelves the other big winner at the Academy Awards three months ago, Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist, alongside (as ever) a slew of other brilliant films.
In tandem with the Universal 100th Anniversary Editions that have already started rolling out, Play begin releasing their exclusive Blu-ray Steelbooks of some of the films this week, and if you’re a fan of Universal’s recent and classic catalogue, you’ll definitely want to invest in more than a few of these, priced at a very reasonable £9.99. There’ll be more of these in the weeks and months to come, as well as non-100th Anniversary Steelbook re-releases, so keep your eyes peeled.
My personal picks of the week:
Drake Doremus’ Like Crazy & Sean Durkin’s Martha Marcy May Marlene »

Chronicle (DVD, Blu-ray)
Chronicle is an unconventional and slightly darker take on the superhero genre where three ordinary teenagers suddenly gain super powers and are able to do things they never imagined possible. Initially they have fun, but their pranks become ever more dangerous and they must face the inevitable question of whether they can handle the responsibility that comes with extraordinary powers.

‘Iron Sky’: great idea, poor execution
26 May 2012 3:57 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Timo Vuorensola
Written by Johanna Sinisalo and Michael Kalesniko
Finland/Germany/Australia, 2012
When you hear “Space Nazis,” certain episodes of Star Trek come into mind. A popular theme in works of science fiction, it is a phrase coined with the idea of Nazis settling on the Moon after their defeat in World War II, not to mention it being a popular conspiracy theory.
Iron Sky is the latest reimagining of this theory.
The film is set in 2018. James Washington (Christopher Kirkby), a black male model, is sent to the Moon in a bid to help the President (Stephanie Paul) be re-elected. He is captured by the Nazis, who have been based on the dark side of the moon since 1945, and subsequently becomes involved in their plan to invade and rule Earth.
Even before its release, Iron Sky faced controversy in the UK due to the distributor »

ShiftyLook - Retro Namco Games in Webcomic Form!
26 May 2012 1:31 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Oliver Davis chats to the creators behind ShiftyLook, a site that has been steadily reviving old Namco Bandai arcade game characters into their own webcomics...
Me, geeking out for Marv Wolfman"Why so many net launchers?" inquires Alpha Man, from Planet Alpha, pondering over the Brav-Mobile's net-launcher heavy schematics. "Cuz, duh - net launchers," Bravoman points out.
"...agreed. Add a few more."
This is taken from the 10th April edition of Matt Moylan (writer) and Dax Gordine's (artist) Bravoman webcomic for ShiftyLook. Bravoman first appeared in the 1988 Namco arcade game of the same name, where he uses his telescopic limbs to fight his foes. In Japan it was entitled Chouzetsu Rinjin Beraboh Man, which literally translates into "Super Unequaled Man: Absurd Man". The comic shares its source's approach, its spirit infectiously innocent.
The character is one of the many Namco Bandai video game properties that ShiftyLook have adapted into Internet strips. »

Michael Davis: Once You Go Black… Part Two
22 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
If you have not done so, please read last week’s article. Thanks.
The opening night of the movie Blade, I was sitting in a packed Magic Johnson Theater in the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles. Crenshaw is a predominantly black community, so needless to say the crowd for a black superhero movie in a black neighborhood in theaters owned by a black sports superstar was overwhelmingly Jewish. The Jews, they so love to hang in the hood. Black hats, long black coats – they roll big pimpin’ style.
I kid, I joke. The audience was crushingly African American. There was a lot of excitement in the crowd. When the lights went down the audience started to clap and that’s rare in a black movie house. To have a black crowd clap for a movie before they have seen it is extraordinary.
Black people rarely do that. We take our leisure time seriously. »

The challenge that DC Entertainment now faces
7 May 2012 1:07 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
With Marvel's The Avengers breaking box office records and proving a superhero team can be a hit in cinema, Cj invites DC Entertainment to rise to the challenge...
We're guessing that you, along with lots of other people, might just have seen The Avengers by now. Lots of people have.. Some went several times. Bums were put on seats, and the film has now passed $1bn at the global box office already.
Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 are out next year. Captain America 2 and more Marvel movies are scheduled for 2014. Mark Ruffalo has signed a six-movie deal to play the Hulk - widely regarded as the best thing in The Avengers after two solo movies that didn't capture the spirit of the character.
It was a funny movie, and it was fun. Then there was that tip of the hat at the end. You know the one. We're »
The Other Avenger: Wanna See the Guy Who's In the Iron Man Suit?
2 May 2012 10:28 AM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Watching Iron Man in one of his solo films or in The Avengers, it's easy to just assume that's Robert Downey Jr. both as Tony Stark and as Iron Man, except that's not the case. Downey Jr. has a stunt double for all the work inside the suit (except when he's wearing the suit minus his helmet), and the same guy has been the real Iron Man throughout the character's three big-screen appearances. Who is he? From Samuel L. Jackson's Twitter feed last night: "For all you ladies that need a reason to see #Avengers, here's the Brutha In the Ironman suit. Clay Fontenot!" Clay Fontenot is a stuntman who's appeared in over 60 films, including all of the Blade films, Planet of the Apes, The Fast and the Furious, Quantum of Solace, The...

Exclusive: Assembling the Avengers -- Part 2
2 May 2012 12:31 AM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
Avenger nerds, (re)assemble! Rob Keyes, editor at Screen Rant, Patrick Sauriol, the editor-in-chief of Coming Attractions, and Brant Fowler, the chief operating officer of Comic Related, continue their conversation with freelancer Marc N. Kleinhenz about the vitality of ScarJo’s Black Widow, the likelihood of a second Incredible Hulk installment, and, of course, the best order to watch the first five Marvel Studios movies in.
Catch up on the first part of our Avengers movie roundtable here!
Marc N. Kleinhenz:
Okay, forgive me – what shenanigans did Ed Norton play during Hulk's press tour?
Patrick Sauriol (Coming Attractions):
Word is that he didn’t want to do press for it, depending on who you believe, because he didn’t get co-writing credit on the movie or a nod for helping with editing. At the time, the circumstantial evidence pointing to Universal not being happy with Norton was a »

Stan Lee On Marvel Movie History, His Favorite Cameos And Michael Jackson as Spider-Man
30 April 2012 1:46 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Even if you're not a comic-book geek, chances are you know the name Stan Lee. His pioneering work with Marvel comics turned the struggling publishing company into a global entertainment phenomenon. With the release of both this weekend's "Avengers" and his new documentary "With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story," (which you can watch OnDemand on Epix) there was never a better time to talk to the man who was there at the beginning. During our chat with the 89-year-old pop-culture legend, he looked back on Marvel's crazy history with the movies: from the '70s Spielberg collaboration he wished would happen to Michael Jackson's attempts to play Spider-Man. One of the subjects we wanted to ask him concerned the controversy surrounding the acknowledgment of his long-time collaborator (and "Avengers" co-creator) Jack Kirby. It's a complicated story involving Kirby and Lee's contentious relationship; last summer, Kirby's estate lost a »

Movies That Might Have Been - Batman Triumphant

Gary Collinson ponders the fate of the Dark Knight had the stars aligned differently in Movies That Might Have Been...
What We Got…
Having produced four Batman movies in the space of eight years, Warner Bros. found their lucrative feature film series lying in tatters following the disastrous release of the Joel Schumacher-directed sequel Batman & Robin in the summer of 1997. Despite turning a profit, the overtly toyetic, neon-soaked abomination met with a deservedly hostile reception from fans, critics and audiences alike, and it was clear to all and sundry that the ailing franchise was in desperate need of an overhaul. However, due to the fall-out from Batman & Robin, it would take another eight years for that to be achieved...
Succeeding where the likes of Boaz Yakin (Remember the Titans), Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) and Wolfgang Peterson (A Perfect Storm) had all failed was Christopher Nolan – an up-and-coming »

David S. Goyer Is Developing a New Supernatural Thriller With Lava Bear Films
20 April 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
David S. Goyer co-wrote Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and the forthcoming film, The Dark Knight Rises, along with director Zack Snyder’s hotly anticipated Superman reboot, Man of Steel, and he has solid geek cred in having previously co-written three Blade and two Ghost Rider films.
So, what is Goyer working on next? Deadline reports that David Linde and Tory Metzger‘s production comany Lava Bear Films is set to develop an as yet untitled supernatural thriller, based on an original idea by Goyer.
Goyer also developed the sci-fi drama, FlashForward, with Brannon Braga that sadly only lasted one season on ABC. A notable hiatus broke up the show’s momentum and ratings put the show on the bubble. Still, FlashForward captured the imagination of many and garnered much fan support throughout its short time on air. I am very much looking forward to what Goyer has dreamt up next! »

Surprising Famous Celebrity Jailbirds - Tax Problems of Rich and Famous
19 April 2012 7:55 AM, PDT | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »
Who are some of the surprising rich and famous celebrity men and women who have spent time in jail? Mid-April always brings talk of famous jailbirds who failed to pay their Us tax bill - did you pay your taxes yesterday? Last year, Wesley Snipes lost his appeal against a three-year jail sentence for willfully failing to file federal income tax returns in April 2008. He sits in jail now. Snipes will not be allowed to appeal his prison sentence to the Us Supreme Court. The 'Blade' actor was sent to jail for three years in December 2010 for tax-related crimes and although Wesley claimed his constitutional rights were violated after charges were filed in Florida rather than New York, New Jersey or Los Angeles where the alleged crimes occurred, the court ruled last year not to allow an appeal to go ahead. The three-year jail-term comes as a result »

Luke Owen sets off down the road to The Avengers as Flickering Myth's countdown begins...
Crossover movies. They're every fanboys dream. Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, Alien vs. Predator, Freddy vs. Jason. Many have been rumoured, only a few have come to fruition.
Marvel didn’t always have the best times when it came to movies. Unlike DC Comics’ movie success with Superman and Batman, Marvel had to settle for lame adaptations of their characters, like the 1994 Roger Corman-produced Fantastic Four that took less than a month to film, or Captain America in 1990, which featured an Italian Red Skull.
Also unlike DC, Marvel didn’t sell the rights to their characters to one source. Instead they palmed them around to anyone who would take an interest, with a deal that if the studio did’t make a movie within a certain amount of time, the rights would revert back to »

Marc Alan Fishman: Avengers Vs. Dark Knight Rises – The Battle for the Multiplex
14 April 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
This past week on my podcast (which you’re not listening to, but totally should), a debate sparked that was left largely unresolved. Since I have this digital soapbox, might as well use it to bring said debate to you.
In a few weeks, the mega-multiplexes of America will be screening the culmination of years of work by the House funded by the Mouse. The Avengers will see the fruition of Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America: The First Avenger in one massively multiplayer action adventure flick. About a month or so later, Warner Bros. unleashes the end to Christopher Nolan’s bat-child, The Dark Knight Rises. There’s no doubt in my mind that both of these movies will be amazingly profitable. But the debate is this: which will bank more bucks? Which will be a better movie? Let’s look at the tail of the tape. »

Community 3.15 "Origins of Vampire Mythology" Recap
This week Community begins where all good stories should begin – with the make-up of Trobed (unlike last week’s forced apology, this was a real make-up, handshake and all.) Pierce laments the fact that everyone seems to have a best friend but him, but before the group can get start an argument, Dean Pelton arrives to share his newest obsession – trains. All in favor of admitting you missed the Dean Pelton costume parade, say “aye!” (Aye!)
Dean Pelton tells them that they need to abide by the rules because the traveling circus is coming to town. This seems to pique Britta’s interest, and when she confirms the name, she realizes that it’s the carnival that employs her ex-boyfriend, Blade (Parks & Recreation’s Kirk Fox.) Yes, Blade as in the same name that Wesley Snipes harbors in his famous vampire movies. The group »
