Cartoon Network has announced that it's upcoming "Young Justice" series will have its series premiere on January 7th at 7pm (ET/PT).

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.

"Deep in the heart of Africa lies Wakanda, an advanced and unconquerable civilization. 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.
Here is a featurette on Sucker Punch that tells you a little bit more about the film, I was sold from the beginning but if not interested yet this should get you onboard.
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.'

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.

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.
As with each series, a cast of newcomers will play the Power Rangers. Alex Heartman has been cast as Red Samurai Ranger Jayden. Najee-De-Tiege has been cast as Blue Samurai Ranger Kevin. 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. Supporting characters include the Rangers’ mentor Takeru, played by series veteran Rene Naufahu (POWER RANGERS SPD); and Spike, played by Felix Ryan.
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.
