When I started Major Spoilers over a year ago, I had no idea how far it would go, nor how fast it would grow. At times it seemed I wasn’t putting up content fast enough for everyone to devour it, and other times it seemed no matter how much I put up, no one was reading. A year and a half ago I lived in a small house, married to a wonderful wife. Today, we’ve moved to a much bigger house, and have a four month old son that is a joy to be with every single day. I’ve expanded…
Variety is reporting that Greg Berlanti has been hired by Warner Bros. to write and direct the Green Lantern movie. Berlanti will share writing duties with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green. Guggenheim, who works with Berlanti as a writer-producer on “Brothers & Sisters,” wrote the Marvel comicbooks “Amazing Spider-Man,” “Wolverine” and “Blade.” Green, the “Heroes” co-exec producer who worked with Berlanti on “Everwood” and “Jack & Bobby,” wrote the Marvel Comics title “Superman/Batman” and was a writer-producer on “Smallville.” It’s good to see that even a big name mag like Variety has a problem remembering Superman/Batman is a DC title…
Way to tackle a tough subject Waid! Any superhero comic is bound to showcase an alien invasion at some point, and Waid is more than willing to give service to that meme in his latest take on the Flash. Things looked pretty bleak for the Wests last issue, but with the JLA making an appearance, what better way for Waid to redefine the idea of the Flash Family?
We announced a while back that the Flash movie had been shelved, but now that the JLA movie is moving forward, it looks as though the studios are reexamining their decision. According to MTV, David Dobkin has been hired to direct a stand alone Flash movie that will be a spin-off from the Justice League flick. Dobkin’s film won’t be the character’s first appearance in cinemas, of course, with the Flash a major part of the upcoming “Justice League of America” film. But while fans wait for “JLA” story and casting announcements with bated breath, Dobkin can’t help but hold…
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?
DC Comics has announced that Batman comic book artist Jerry Robinson has been hired by the company as a creative consultant for the company. In 1942, Robinson began a stint as the series’ main artist, followed by other comic book legends, including Dick Sprang. Robinson played a vital role in the early appearances of legendary Batman characters, notably The Joker, Robin, Alfred, and The Penguin, and executed many of the iconic covers of the Golden Age of comic books. “It’s an honor to have Jerry complete his journey from DC’s bullpen to advising us on characters he was intimately involved…

Por lo menos según Marvel Comics.
A Predalien from the upcoming Aliens v. Predator – Requiem. Christmas Day in a theater near you. Ooooo… scary…. As much as people bagged on the first AVP, I didn’t think it was that bad; I mean it is what it is and after seeing the R rated trailer with heads exploding left and right, me wanna see! via USA Today
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…
