Geoff Johns has announced he is writing an espisode of the CW’s Smallville that will feature the Legion of Super-Heroes. “I can’t get into any specifics about the story we’re telling because we’re still working on it all. But they’re from the 31st Century. And it will be focusing on some obvious characters who first met Clark,” Johns said. “It will be written to fit with Smallville, and I think it’s going to be a really fun challenge to approach the Legion in a different way. But with me, you know you’re going to see Legion rings, and they’re going…

Mahalo Daily was all over Comic Con, and covered The Office panel. Even though it is so far away from comic books, I’m putting it up here, because I know there are a few of you that are into this kind of thing… Rainn Wilson (aka Dwight) moderates a panel of The Office cast and writers, B.J. Novak, Greg Daniels, Michael Schur, Gene Stupnitsky, Lee Eisenberg, Mindy Kaling, Anthony Ferrel, Ryan Koh, Justin Spitzer, and Jennifer Celotta at Comic Con 2008.

Seems like we’ll never go a season without some form of Batman or Justice League cartoon available for fans. The next outing for Warner Bros. Animation is Batman: Brave and the Bold. There are lots of recurring characters including Booser Gold and Skeets, who will be voiced by the original voice actors from JLU.
Instead of having to write a complete wrap up of a panel I don’t particularly care for, NBC has done me a favor by posting the entire Kings panel for everyone to see.

Entertainment Weekly has an interesting interview with Alan Moore on comics and motion media. Do you think that any good can come of comics movies? I increasingly fear that nothing good can come of almost any adaptation, and obviously that’s sweeping. There are a couple of adaptations that are perhaps as good or better than the original work. But the vast majority of them are pointless. We all know that Alan Moore has never been a fan of his work being translated into motion picture or television form. I just thought this was a good summation of his overall argument.…

Yesterday the Emmy nominations were announced with the incredibly awesome HBO series John Adams receiving the most nominations (23). Further down the list, DC’s New Frontier made it on the Animated Program (One hour or more) list alongside Family Guy’s Blue Harvest and South Park’s Imaginationland episodes. Hands down New Frontier should get the award, but everyone in H’wood seems to be in love with Seth MacFarlane, so don’t be surprised if the Star Wars parody walks away with the award. via Variety

The Vertigo comic Exterminators is heading to the small screen. Showtime and Dexter executive producer Sara Colleton plans to bring the title to the cable network. But don’t expect the series to be a perfect adaptation. In its Showtime incarnation, “Exterminators” will revolve around the Bug-Be-Gone crew, an extended dysfunctional family of exterminators whose greatest enemies aren’t the insects and rodents they meet and kill on a daily basis but rather their own self doubts, vices and inner demons. Is Exterminators something that can be easily adaptated, or are the themes and special effects too much for subscriber cable? via…
