Check out the evil league of evil AKA the Crime Syndicate taking on the good league of good AKA the Justice League in this trailer for the upcoming Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.

Rumors are swirling that casting for the Black Cat is underway for a lead role in Spider-Man 4. Since production on the film is ramping up, this rings a bit truer than far fetched stories last year touting Cher as the pick to play Catwoman in the next Batman movie. I guess I am fine with this as long as love triangles are kept under control.One interesting side effect of this news is the possible

Sometimes (though probably erroneously) credited for inventing the "fist bump," the Wonder Twins first activated their powers in 1977 on the All New Super Friends Hour, the show for which they were created. The duo were created as replacement sidekicks to the Justice League AKA Super Friends for the non-powered teens Wendy and Marvin. The twins were subsequently adopted into the comic books.When

Although not always superhero related, I often stumble upon DVD deals that are too good to keep to myself (as they may have a broad geek appeal). For example the evil empire aka Walmart.com is now offering free shipping and a low $10 price point on numerous "hot" and not yet released DVDs. This will be enticing for Potterphiles and Trekkers alike and it doesn't even necessitate being seen

How do you follow up one of the biggest movies of all time? Not with Batman Returns. Here is one of the few superhero "part 2s" that is a big step down from the original.A year prior to Nightmare before Christmas, it was Christmas in Gotham City and the ante was upped. Instead of just the Joker, we got Catwoman, a nasty Penguin complete with penguin army and circus o' freaks, and a third villain,

The bare chested Hawkman first appeared in Flash Comics #1 in 1940 and though he has had various names (Katar Hol, Carter Hall) origins (alien, reincarnated Egyptian) and affiliations (Justice Society, Justice League) over the years, he has long been a DC staple. And who couldn't love a superhero with a beak (aside from Howard the Duck perhaps)?Old bird brain first appeared both in his own

So, word on the street was that a "major death" is coming to Heroes soon. The death was an original cast member, and a male. So, who will it be...Turns out Nathan Petrelli is the victim. The only problem is, he was killed onscreen in last years season finale. To be fair, he has been seemingly killed on the show before as have numerous others only to be miraculously revived.

Anthony Hopkins is Odin in the upcoming Thor movie. To get an idea what he might look like, we need look no further than King Hrothgar in 2007's Beowulf. Hail to the King.

Twenty-some years after the campy television series, Batman was due for a true reboot for a new generation. In 1989, audiences would forever be confused when they realized that they never knew the Joker had killed Batman's parents (a fact that would become even more confusing when Batman Begins remedied that bit of tid). But for the most part, Tim Burton's Batman was a triumph.This "first"

Back in the day, Green Arrow was just a Batman copy cat. And along with being a Millionaire industrialist, and good Batman wannabe needed a teen sidekick / ward. Green Arrow's junior archer Roy Harper was dubbed Speedy.Though not as well known as Robin, Speedy has had his fair share of appearances in superhero shows over the years. In fact, Speedy appeared alongside Wonder Girl, Aqualad and Kid

Previous word on the JSA line-up was a tad premature, though it turns out it was partially accurate. Its now official that Hawkman and Dr. Fate will be appearing on Smallville's Society episode, and the third team member appearing will be none other than Stargirl. Look for more info on these characters on screen histories in the weeks to come.

On the heels of good sales by the Superman Batman: Public Enemies movie, the word on the street is that a sequel project is in the works. Since Public Enemies was the first story in the Superman Batman title's run, its seems logical the next film could focus on story arc #2 which reintroduced Supergirl and happened to be one of the series best received tales to date. The story also involved

Beginning in 1973 through 1986, The Dynamic Duo appeared on various incarnations of the Super Friends animated series (covered in detail in the History of the Justice League).During the run, only once did The Boy Wonder appear alone, not just tagging along Batman.Notable Bat villains included The Riddler and Scarecrow (members of the Legion of Doom) and eventually the Joker and Penguin during the

Superman IIISuperman III is 1983's superhero show that most people will remember (although they may cringe at its mentioning). Sadly, at least in my mind, this marked the end of the first golden age of superhero films. The Superman series had been phenomenal. Superman I was epic, and II even with its flaws stands as my favorite Superman movie to date. Superman III took a respectable hero and

As much as I hate giving publicity to The Family Guy, the lampooned Super friends title sequence cant go without a mention. Compare the original with the "hilarious" frame by frame reimagining. You know, that's the thing about Family Guy, simply referencing something old, does not equal funny. There is nothing clever here. Though I guess it does get you plenty of free advertising.
