The CW network, who dropped the pilot, says they have no plans to add the show to the lineup. via The Detroit News (link)
On the Road to Kahndaq Renee and The Question are on the road to Kahndaq seeking to find a connection between the country’s ruler and Intergang. But this isn’t your typical road adventure as the duo finds themselves in deep trouble. A great deal of week fourteen is spent following The Question and Renee Montoya around Kahndaq seeking answers. Instead of finding a country oppressed by a tyrannical leader, they find a country full of joy and happiness. It seems the inhabitants think Black Adam and Isis are actually pretty good folk. But that doesn’t keep the two from their…
There’s no doubt about it, Paul Dini was born to write Batman. Keeping true to the title, Dini knocks another one out of the park in Detective Comics 822. This time Batman has competition as the best detective in town, when the Riddler hangs out his shingle. Will Batman be second best? Spoilers ahead.
I’m not a huge Grant Morrison fan, but I don’t hate him either. To me if you can tell a good story that has me eagerly turning from one page to the next in anticipation, then the writer has done a great job. But in the case of Morrison’s debut on the Batman title, I have to say I’m truly conflicted.
Ah yes, Adam Hughes, he is to good girl art as Alex Ross is to realistic images of heros. Just found out Hughes will be working on DC’s All Star Wonder Woman. Most of you will remember Hughes long run as the cover artist for Wonder Woman (heck, I bought a lot of those issues just for the cover alone), and now he gets a crack at the pages within. I’ve been a big Hughes fan since the mid ’80s and love what he does with the human form. But even better than the art, Hughes will also be writing…
If you remember the Strange Tale of Aquaman I told you about previously, then you are aware that Hollywood is all a twitter over the thought of making an underwater superhero movie.

The Spirited Life website (Will Eisner: A Spirited Life Interview Series) has a fascinating interview with Darwyn Cooke on his upcoming DC The Spirit and the upcoming Spirit/Batman one-shot.

His New Frontier series for DC will be the first direct to DVD movie produced. I’m super excited to see a new Spirit monthly title and looking forward to seeing how Batman and The Spirit interact in the one-shot. Via A Spirited Life (link)
Film Focus has an exclusive interview with Christian Bale on the next Batman movie “The Dark Knight”. “I just love that title,” Bale told FilmFocus, “You know, nothing’s written in stone yet, but I like, very much, that it doesn’t have ‘Batman’ written in the title. This take on Batman of mine and Chris’ is very different from any of the others and everything else always had Batman in the title. I think this is kind-of distancing it even further and saying, ‘Hey, this is a whole different creature from what has come before.'” Bale also goes on about how…
