All roads lead to Apokolips Once again we are faced with a new installment of Countdown. But unlike last week’s issue that was full of half-steps and little progression, this week actually has some interesting progressions that move the story forward. It’s just too bad the issue slips back into its old habit of revealing the ending right on the cover.
If you have been checking in with the Why So Serious website, you’ve seen the brightly lit pumpkin get brown and moldy over the last couple of weeks. But did you ever stop to notice how much of the pumpkin was changing? It looks like it is only half the face – almost like there were two faces to be seen. If the trailer drops on Wednesday, this could be the public’s first glimpse at Two-Face as seen by those who attended Wizard World Chicago a few months ago. via Why So Serious?

According to Moviehole, Teresa Palmer has been offered the role of Wonder Woman in the George Miller Justice League film. This follows the rumor that Rupert Evans will be playing Superman. Reports have this movie being all action, but with a much younger team of heroes in the early points of their careers. This has made many people wonder why not do a Teen Titans flick, but if you consider more people know Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Batman and Superman, than cyborg, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, and Robin, then you can kind of see the direction Warner Bros. is…
This is the end… the end, my friend, the end… Forget those Search for Ray Palmer one-shots, Death of the New Gods is the first major crossover/tie-in title with Countdown, and one would think it would be a major issue kicking off the conclusion to a series started 30 years ago.
