Variety this morning confirms the Lois and Clark star will be heading to Smallville this fall. He is set to play Dr. Curtis Knox – a villain. He is scheduled to appear in episode four of Smallville’s 7th season, which begins September 27. Well, I’m sure there are a lot of Dean Cain fans out there who are going to love this. Of all the Supermen to don the tights, I always thought Cain in his prime fit the part near perfectly. Of course now he’s looking a bit pudgy, so playing a villain is probably the best way to…

ENI also has the trailer for the Spectacular Spider-Man Animated Series that will air on the Kids WB network in 2008. This actually looks pretty good, although the style reminds a lot of the Batman series currently running, and the trailer really reminds me of the intro to Batman: The Animated Series. via ENI
Look no further than this clip obtained by Entertainment News International from the Hasbro Panel at the San Diego Comic Con. With all the negative comments from my first posting on this issue, I don’t see too much wrong with the cartoon – except it doesn’t look like 1980s cartoons.via ENI

Fanboys and fangirls get ready to set your fun-meter to laughgasmic. Futurama is coming back. I’ll give you a moment to let that sink in. Futurama, the hit show from creator Matt Groening, will be making its Direct to DVD debut in November with Futurama: Bender’s Big Score. Three more films will be released through 2008.

DC Comics has acquired the rights to take the online Heroes comics, that gave readers a deeper glimpse into the characters from the hit NBC series, and collect them in a hardcover collection. I’ve already downloaded the 43 Adobe PDF files from the Heroes website, and these are pretty good reads. But because these are online, graphic heavy, and you have to remember to go to the website each week to get the latest installment, I think a bound edition of the issues is a great idea. In addition to the online strip by artists including Michael Turner, Marcus To,…

Emmy Nominations were announced this week, with several comic fan favorites making the list. Under the category of Drama Series, NBC’s Heroes, the surprise hit of the year makes the list, as does Masi Oka as Hiro Nakamura for Supporting Actor in a Drama. The series also received a nod for Art Direction, and editing for the Heroes: Genesis episode. While not comic-specific, Entourage, which featured series star as Aquaman in the Season 1 arc, made the list all over the place – and if you aren’t watching the HBO series, what’s wrong with you? Battlestar Galactica also had several…
Rumors on the Internet this morning have Dean Cain in talks with the producers of the CW’s Smallville seiries. There’s no word on what role Dean Cain would play on the show. For those not in the know, Cain played Clark Kent/Superman in the ABC series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Back in the 90’s I really enjoyed watching Lois & Clark, one because it was a Superman related show, and two because Terri Hatcher looked soooooo much better back then. The first two seasons were really good, but the show seemed to go downhill after that.…

Could we see the very hot Miss Universe 2007 Riyo Mori next season on Heroes? According to a report from the Associated Press, the dancer may be up for a role that would be a love interest for one of the main characters. “As soon as I won Miss Universe I had this big chance,” Mori said in an interview Monday. “I’ve never acted before. I went to the casting audition and read a script in English and Japanese, and they said it was really good. So I hope I can be in the show.” Well if her acting is…
We’ve already seen a version of Supergirl in the CW series Smallville, but this fall, Supergirl will join the show for real. The seventh season will kick off with the arrival of the 19-year-old Kara. While she will have all of Clark’s powers, there’s one that will stand out among fans of the show – she can fly! “One of the joys of creating Smallville has been our ability to reinvent and reinterpret classic DC Comics characters,” said Smallville executive producer Al Gough. “Miles and I believe that Supergirl will give our series the mythic jolt that it needs as…
If you were a fan of those robots in disguise, you’ll be happy to know Cartoon Network will be airing new series this fall called Transformers: Animated.

Few details have emerged so far about the premise of the show other than it will be set in a future Earth where humans and robots will co-exist.
