This is a picture that has been going around the net for a week now. Perhaps it is the reason for the delay of Civil War or it may just be a hoax. Anyway it's a bit of a spoiler and its a spoiler that pisses me off! So be pissed off with me if you want.
Click here to see the picture.
With the popularity of the straight to DVD Marvel animated movies such as Ultimate Avengers and the upcoming Doctor Strange movie. John Delaney shows some of those ideas that never made it past preliminary posters here. That Nick Fury movie could have been as good as the David Hasselhoff movie from the 90's...maybe!
Update:
Due to schedule conflicts Darick will now be joining us for a podcast recording on Thursday. So you still have time to keep your questions to him coming and post them in the forum
End of Update

Co-creator of Transmetropolitan and comic book artist for over 20 years Darick Robertson will be joining us in a podcast session next Tuesday afternoon. So if you listeners want to ask him anything just post it up here . He has drawn anyone from the Justice League to Wolverine; to me he draws the definitive Wolverine and I have been a personal fan of his, since his days on New Warriors. Here is a small Bio of him from his own site and if you want to check out anything he's worked on recently, just check out Boys written by Garth Ennis and published by Vertigo, it comes out today. Again you have till next Tuesday to ask him whatever is on your mind. The podcast will be up on Wednesday with his answers. And yes, we are also recording our regular podcast on Sunday. So that will be two podcasts in one week! That's to make up for the one we skip last week, see we're not like Marvel, we could come up with excuse after excuse, but we were just lazy!
Acording to Imdb
Ryan Phillippe may be set to take over from Tommy Lee Jones after reportedly landing the role of Harvey Dent/Two-Face in the upcoming Batman Begins sequel. Reese Witherspoon's husband will join Heath Ledger, who has signed on to play The Joker, and new Batman Christian Bale in The Dark Knight. Crash star Phillippe beat Liev Shreiber and Josh Lucas to the role of the scheming district attorney, played by Jones in 1995 movie Batman Forever, according to internet reports. Academy Award winners Sir Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman have also joined the cast, while fellow Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman is in talks to play The Penguin in the new film.
Okay so if they add Two-Face that's fine, but a third villian with the Penguin...oh shit I hope this doesn't go the way of Schumacher's Batman and Robin.
With the release of the direct-to-DVD Hellboy Animated Sword of Stones movie right around the corner, well at least the premier on Cartoon Network; Producer Tad Stones has been updating the hellboyanimated website like a madman. Just click on the link to see more screen shots and pre-production material. The movie will premier on Cartoon Network of course edited on October 23rd and the DVD will be out on February 6, 2007. On second thought, I guess that's not really around the corner, but they really have some cool screen shots on the website.
