Top 5 Stories For The Week Ending 04/12/2013


First Official Image And Synopsis Released From CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER
We also exclusively revealed the new suit for Captain America in the film but Disney made us take it down. What can you do? However, it's confirmed that Black Widow will have a lead role in the film and that Robert Redford is playing a Marvel Comics character named Alexander Pierce. Looks like the film could be borrowing story elements from the 1988 miniseries Nick Fury vs S.H.I.E.L.D. in addition to Ed Brubaker's Winter Soldier run.

THOR: THE DARK WORLD Trailer Description
Marvel purportedly showed footage from Thor: The Dark World at the Disney Consumer Show 2013. Check out the description above for the details or avoid it at all cost if you don't like spoilers.

VIDEO GAMES: ARKHAM ORIGINS Officially Announced
It's official, a new Batman: Arkham game is coming but it's not being made by RockSteady. Instead the game is being made in-house by Warner Bros. Games Montreal. But fear not, they're using the same modified game engine and were in constant contact with RockSteady throughout the project. The game is a prequel, where a young Batman makes mistakes and 8 assassins (led by Deathstroke) are out to terminate The Dark Knight on Christmas. In the original article, RockSteady confirms they are working on a 'secret' project which is thought to be a Silver Age Justice League film.

7 New MAN OF STEEL Images Featuring Superman, General Zod & Lois Lane
Some new stills from Man of Steel were revealed in the summer preview issue of Entertainment Weekly. However, what has everyone talking are the quotes from the article. More on that below.

Other Heroes Can Inhabit The World Of MAN OF STEEL Says WB Film President
Yup, other heroes can inhabit the cinematic world Warner Bros. is creating in Man of Steel. This is a sharp left-turn from the philosophy of Christopher Nolan who kept other heroes out of his Batman films. There's going to be plenty of easter eggs says screenwriter David S. Goyer. Should these clues lead up to a World's Finest film or Justice League adaptation?

I think from what Goyer and co have said, I think there is definitely going to be easter eggs in MOS. But I dont know whether that means a cameo from another character, or even just a mention of Gotham

I think it would have been nice for Nolan to have done something similar. Like when Bane gatecrashes the Gotham game, it would have been nice for the opposition to be Smallville or Metropolis.

@Superjunction

You mean like "This is why Superman works alone" in Batman and Robin?

No, just no, Nolan films were great set in their own world.

There is very definitely a count down in the source to the MOS trailer.
59.5 hours to go.

Although Nolan did make Killer Croc, Martian Manhunter gags, etc.

I hope it is a WW easter egg in MOS. WW should be on the big screen followed then by Justice League.

One of these days you could teach us telepathy. You know, so we can learn what are the thoughts of other people like you seem to do.

Keep doing what your doing... I wasn't around for the DC - Marvel flame wars last summer but your helping me to understand how & why it all panned out (the rawest most pure subjectivity I have seen since I was at school... maybe there lay the answer)!

@SupermanRising, lol, what about Richard Pryor in Superman? That wasn't an action/comedy?

And by the way, DC isn't that dumb, you say?

Don't worry there WILL be another massive banning this year. Especially with all the CBMs coming out this summer. They're not going to tolerate constant flame wars.

Why someone would come to an internet site to start shit is beyond me.
