That’s the battle cry heard over at Film Roman, the animation house famous for The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Rugrats and others, as Marvel Animation announced it is beginning production of The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. The animated television series is the latest from the House of Ideas, who has previously announced Wolverine and the X-Men, and Iron Man: Armored Adventures. The 26 episode Avengers series is expected to debut in 2011, at or around the same time as Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers movies hit theaters. “(This) continues our plan to complement each of our…

While the movie came and went, the television series on the Cartoon Network fleshes out the story even more, filling the void left by the end of the last Star Wars movie. Lucas Film has sent Major Spoilers a rundown of the back to back premiere episodes and a discussion with Dave Filoni, the series supervising director.
With the fate of the next season of Smallville still up in the air, Warner Bros. is getting ready for a replacement, or a “sidekick” of a show in the just approved pilot “Graysons”. But don’t think this new series will follow the adventures of Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne as Batman and Robin, expect the Graysons to follow a very Smallville like premise that features the young Dick “DJ” Grayson before his parents met their untimely demise, before being taken under the wing of Batman, and a long, long time before becoming Nightwing. In the one-hour “Graysons,” which will…
I think I mentioned Greg Beeman’s website about this time last year (yeah, it was during THAT time), and I think it needs to be mentioned again. If you are a fan of Heroes, or if you are someone that digs the behind the scenes look at the process of making a television series, then the Beaming Beeman website is worthy of checking out. I love reading Director/Producer Greg Beeman’s take on each episode of NBC’s Heroes, not only for the behind the scenes stories, but for the behind the scenes photos. A site worthy of checking out.
There were a lot of complaints about the second season of NBC’s Heroes – from the lackluster storyline to the writer’s strike causing the season to end abruptly, fans were less than amused with the sophomore trials of the series. Unfortunately, those feelings are still reverberating into the third season. The Hollywood Reporter has viewership for the season three two-hour premiere down 25% from last year. The “Heroes” debut (9.9 million viewers, 4.9 preliminary adults 18-49 rating and a 12 share and matched its lowest original episode rating ever. (“Heroes” was actually down even more, 33%, if you include NBC’s…
Longing for the days when you used to stumble downstairs in your jammies during the wee hours, grab your bowl of Sugar Frosted Chochy Snap Bombs and turn on the television to watch the Super Friends without waking your parents? Get your jammies and pray your grocery still carries Sugar Frosted Chochy Snap Bombs, cause Boomerang – the last place to see all your ’60’s and ’70’s cartoons without commercial interruption – is bringing fans a Super Friends marathon. DC Comics’ Justice League superheroes will save the day as episodes from four classic Saturday-morning animated series from the ’70s and…
NBC has released a series of promo images hyping the upcoming third season of Heroes. While season 2 ended up being rather wonky, I’m hoping the third volume of tales gets the action up and moving in the first two episodes. The season premiere of Heroes: Villains kicks off on September 22 at 9:00 PM EST.
Here’s a peek at what you can expect from your first episode of Lana and Lex-less Smallville.
Now this is a TV series that would do well following Heroes. No Heroics follows the very real lives of four off-duty superheroes in London, their struggles in love and their bigger struggles with fame – or lack of it. Too bad its on British television, I’d think I’d like to check it out. via ITV
NBC has given the go ahead for a full season of Chuck, ordering nine more for the second half of the year. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending), that only brings the total number of episodes to 15 for the year, which makes no freakin’ sense to me. I remember a time when a full season of episodes amounted to 23-30+ shows a season. And it isn’t just Chuck that goes this shortened season route – Burn Notice anyone? The second season of Chuck returns to NBC on September 29, 2008 at 8:00 p.m. via THR
Check out NBC’s Heroes Primetime Preview special, that is supposed to air on August 30, but thanks to the YouTube, we have it here early.
I think this is probably the last San Diego Comic Con post I’ll make for a couple of months. Here’s the video from NBC’s Chuck Panel held at the show.
Here you go, the panel I’ve been waiting for NBC to post – Season 3 of Heroes.
