Cartoon Network has announced that it's upcoming "Young Justice" series will have its series premiere on January 7th at 7pm (ET/PT). Based on both the "Young Justice" series that ran in the late 90's and the modern "Teen Titans" team, "Young Justice" was previewed in an hourlong special that aired on November 26th. The ongoing series is officially described as follows:
In Young Justice, being a teenager means proving yourself over and over — to peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself. But what if you're not just a normal teenager? What if you're a teenage super hero? How much harder will it be to prove yourself in a world of super powers, super villains and super secrets? Are you ready to come of age in such a world? Are you ready for life or death rites of passage? Are you ready to join the ranks of the great heroes and prove you're worthy of the Justice League? That's exactly what the members of Young Justice — Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis — will found out … whether they have what it takes to be a proven hero.

A family of warrior-kings possessing superior speed, strength and agility has governed this mysterious nation as long as time itself. The latest in this famed line is young King T'Challa, the great hero known worldwide as the Black Panther.
"Now, outsiders once again threaten to invade and plunder Wakanda. Leading this brutal assault is Klaw, a deadly assassin with the blood of T'Challa's murdered father on his hands, who brings with him a strong army of super-powered mercenaries. Even with Wakanda's might and his own superhuman skills, can the Black Panther prevail against this deadly invading force?"
Marvel Knights Animation: Black Panther DVD is priced to own at $14.97.

A new featurette was released for Zack Snyder's "Sucker Punch" starring Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone, Carla Gugino, and Jon Hamm. The movie opens on March 25th, 2011.
Close your eyes. Open your mind. You will be unprepared. "Sucker Punch" is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what's real and what is imaginary. She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls--the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish)--to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm). Led by Babydoll, the girls engage in fantastical warfare against everything from samurais to serpents, with a virtual arsenal at their disposal. Together, they must decide what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive. But with the help of a Wise Man (Scott Glenn), their unbelievable journey--if they succeed--will set them free.

Newsarama reported: A television series adaptation version of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming's Powers has been in some stage of development at FX since at least February 2009, but Wednesday afternoon brought the most concrete news yet: news from New York Magazine's Vulture blog that Charles H. Eglee is in talks with the network and Sony Pictures Television to serve as executive producer and writer on the project.
The report was confirmed as fact by Bendis himself on his Twitter page. Eglee had served as a writer and executive producer on the first season of another TV show based on a long-running, creator-owned comic book, AMC's The Walking Dead; effectively serving as Frank Darabont's No. 2 on the series. A report on Deadline.com last week stated that the show's entire writing staff was fired, but was later disputed by Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and fellow executive producer Gale Anne Hurd.
Eglee has nearly three decades of writing experience on TV, working on popular '80s hits St. Elsewhere and Moonlighting. He's also written for NYPD Blue, The Shield, Dexter and co-created Dark Angel with Avatar director James Cameron, which ran on Fox from 2000 to 2002 and helped launch Jessica Alba to stardom.
Powers chronicles the work and lives of police detectives who investigate superpower-related homicides, focusing on former superhero Christian Walker and his partners, most prominently Deena Pilgrim. The comic debuted in 2000 at Image Comics, before moving to Marvel's creator-owned Icon imprint in 2004. Late last year, the title relaunched with a new #1 issue.
Here is a teaser trailer for Batman: Arkham City. The full trailer is set to debut this Saturday on Spike TV's 2010 'Video Game Awards.'

Broadcasting in over 175 territories worldwide from Los Angeles, the "VGAs" will celebrate the best in gaming on Saturday, December 11 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
The show will feature 13 world premieres of the most anticipated games of 2011 and beyond. World premiere titles confirmed so far include "Batman: Arkham City," "Resistance 3" and "Thor: God of Thunder," as well as the next game from Studio of the Year nominee BioWare, the debut of Guillermo del Toro's video game and a special "Gears of War" announcement. More titles will be confirmed shortly.
After the recent reacquisition from Disney, Haim Saban is moving full speed ahead with promoting his return to the Power Rangers franchise. Early next year, Nickelodeon will premiere the official 19th season of the series, entitled POWER RANGERS SAMURAI.
Adapting the 2009 Super Sentai Series SAMURAI SENTAI SHINKENGER, the series will revolve around five teens who must master the art of Bushido to control the elements of fire, water, sky, forest, and earth. Saban promises that unlike Disney’s previous two installments, JUNGLE FURY (2008) and RPM (2009), the series will have a fusion of comic relief and martial arts action like their Japanese counterparts.

Erika Fong has been cast as Pink Samurai Ranger Mia. Hector David Jr. has been cast as Green Samurai Ranger Mike. Rounding out the cast is Brittany Anne Pirtle as Yellow Samurai Ranger Emily.

The series will also not last one, but two full seasons, with a total of 40 episodes. Shooting began over the summer in New Zealand. Fans of the original Power Rangers series will also be treated in February when Nicktoons will begin to air the previous 18 seasons, beginning with 1993’s MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS.

1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde. It's a town that lives in fear.
But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known.

The new animated series based on DC Comics characters will debut with the two-part "Independence Day" episode on Friday, Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. (ET/PT).

That's exactly what the members of Young Justice -- Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis -- will found out, whether they have what it takes to be a proven hero."

It seems as though some people out there just can't wait for Call of Duty: Black Ops to hit the normal retail channels because over the weekend two gun-wielding criminals held-up a Baltimore area GameStop for more than 100 copies of the highly-anticipated first-person shooter. Black Ops is being developed by Treyarch Studios and published by Activision Blizzard and is scheduled to release on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC tomorrow. The robbery happened just before closing time in the Festival at Bel Air shopping center, as the thief's entered the GameStop and pulled semi-automatic weapons, demanding every copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops that was in stock. It was the second armed robbery of a Harford County GameStop store in less than three weeks; the sheriff's office said the men might also be responsible for the other incident, at the GameStop's Aberdeen location on October 21st.
A few unlucky customers happened to walk in during the hold-up and were placed in the stock room, thankfully no employees or customers were harmed. It's unclear for what reason the crime was perpetrated but we would assume that the thieves are looking to unload a couple thousand dollars worth of the game, before it's official release date. As of this writing no new information on the crime has been discovered and no copies of Black Ops have shown up on the black market, representatives for GameStop declined our request for interview. No word on whether or not customers who had pre-ordered COD: Black Ops at the unlucky store would get their game on launch day, our guess is they will. Stay tuned for our official review of Call of Duty: Black Ops tomorrow and make your own decision as to whether the game is good enough to warrant this type of criminal behavior.

Master of Horror set to bring you the girl of your dreams. John Carpenter is onboard to direct Darkchylde, based on the comic by Randy Queen about a good hearted southern teen cursed to become the creatures from her many recurring nightmares. Every time Ariel Chylde transforms, she sheds her skin and a new nightmare emerges from her Id to act out her deepest, darkest impulses.
John Carpenter and Sandy King's Storm King Productions have allied with Randy and Sarah Queen's Darkchylde Ent. to produce the film, following the release of test footage created by Richard Taylor's Academy Award Winning Weta Workshop. (The Lord of the Rings, Avatar, King Kong, The Hobbit)
John Carpenter says, "Randy Queen's hijacked angel, Ariel Chylde, is the best young female character since Laurie Strode in Halloween. Bringing Ariel and her dark mysteries to life should be quite an adventure for us all."
Adds Queen, "I'm beyond thrilled that John Carpenter, one of our most important, and legendary genre directors, and the man responsible for such landmark films as THE THING, and HALLOWEEN has come onboard with Weta Workshop to help bring the nightmarish tale of Ariel Chylde to the silver screen. As a horror fan, the thought of Carpenter and Weta together, beautiful dreamscapes, and multiple transformations, makes me incredibly excited. There is a reason nearly his entire catalogue has, or is being remade, and it's because Carpenter is a genius."
Offering a stark contrast to super hero comics, Darkchylde was a breakout sensation of the late 90's and early 2000's, garnering immediate acclaim, and an unusually large female fanbase. The property went on to outsell Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman in both domestic and foreign audiences, and has been realized in toys, trading cards, apparel, lunch boxes, mini busts, and more recently a hit crossover with Top Cow, and a statue from PopCultureShockToys. Fans can now read the Ariel Chylde saga online via Wowio and Darkchylde.com and a trade paperback collecting the "Legacy" and "Redemption" series of books ships in January from Image Comics.
John Carpenter is an acclaimed director, screenwriter, producer, and composer, who won an academy award for his short film while still just a student at USC. His storied career includes such seminal films as Halloween, The Thing, Escape from New York, Starman, Christine, In the Mouth of Madness, Assault on Precinct 13, They Live, and The Fog. His most recent outing, The Ward, starring Amber Heard as an institutionalized woman tormented by a sinister spirit, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
