DC Comics has been posting a plethora of covers to the upcoming Flashpoint event, along with questions to hint at what is to come.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Josh Pence (The Social Network) has been cast as a young Ra’s al Ghul in the upcoming Dark Knight Rises. For those wondering why Liam Neeson isn’t reprising the role, it’s because… well… he’s a bit too old to play a young Ra’s. Pence will play the big bad that vexed Batman in Batman Begins in a series of flashbacks that occur during the movie. This may throw a wrench in the works for those who think they have the story nailed down as The Long Halloween doesn’t feature the villain at all in the…
Here’s some really interesting news for those hanging on every bit of news regarding the new Superman movie. Warner Bros. has announced that Michael Shannon will star as General Zod, who will go toe-to-toe with the Man of Steel, played by Henry Cavill. Snyder stated, “Zod is not only one of Superman’s most formidable enemies, but one of the most significant because he has insights into Superman that others don’t.

If you aren’t getting enough Silver and Bronze Age goodness in your current runs of The Flash and Green Lantern, DC Comics VP of Sales, Bob Wayne announced Retro-Active this past weekend at WonderCon ’11 in San Francisco. Published throughout July and August 2011, these are exactly the kinds of one-shots people often associate with summer. RETRO-ACTIVE reunites classic writers and artists with classic characters Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, and Justice League of America, returning to the interpretations they are best known for. Don’t think that this series will only cover the heroes in their ’70s…
Or – “Comic Time, See What’s Become Of Me…” My recent ruminations on Franklin Richards and Marvel Time have led me to think about some comics stories that have suffered from the passage of “comics time.” Many characters are somewhat tied to certain time-frames (Superman’s 30s carnival strongman uniform is one example, while Iron Man was forged in the fires of the Vietnam War) but continuity can be a harsh mistress.
