Warner Bros. has released "Distant Planet", another animation for Zack Snyder's upcoming fantasy action film Sucker Punch.

Presenting animated shorts inspired by Zack Snyder's new film, Sucker Punch. Director Zack Snyder and animator Ben Hibon collaborated with Comflix Studios to further explore the fantasy worlds in the film. The animated shorts provide a distinct glimpse into those surreal places, allowing people to experience the worlds in a very unique way. "It made sense to me to not only approach the worlds from an original direction in terms of story and focus," says Snyder, "but also to really push the visual style in a different direction as well. Having seen his contribution to the latest Harry Potter film and looking at some of his other recent work, Ben's talent was obvious and his aesthetic felt like a perfect fit. His work is graphic and visually arresting." Hibon relished an opportunity to expand upon Snyder's unique vision. "Zack is one of the most exciting and original directors working in Hollywood today. Sucker Punch is nothing short of pure visual madness." DISTANT PLANET: In Sucker Punch, the girls find themselves on another planet battling a robot militia on a hijacked train. In "Distant Planet" events unfold from the perspective of the robot hijackers leading up to the girls' arrival. Sometimes those with less have more to fight for...

It’s now official, Kevin Costner, who built a shrine to baseball in a Midwestern corn field in Field of Dreams, will play another rock-ribbed Midwestern hero, Jonathan Kent in Zack Snyder’s Superman: Man of Steel, which is due to debut in theaters on in December of 2012.

Snyder told Entertainment Weekly, “Jonathan Kent is the only father figure Clark has ever had, the man who was there to help Clark understand what he was meant to do in the world as Superman. Kevin will be able to communicate the quiet strength of this rural American man who raised the greatest superhero of all time.”

If you are like me and was sorely disappointed at how poorly The Last Airbender film, directed by M. Night Shyamalan represented the animated show, then buck up because a sequel to the hit television series is in the works. The original series garnered 5.6 million viewers, was nominated and won awards from the Annual Annie Awards, the Genesis Awards, the primetime Emmy awards and a Peabody Award chronicled how Aang The Avatar, and his group of friends setting out to help him master the four elements so he can save the world from the evil Fire Lord Ozai and end the war with the fire nation.

The new series, titled The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra, was announced last summer at San Diego Comic Con by series creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. It explains how Korra, a teenage girl from the southern water tribe has become the new Avatar and must learn airbending from Tenzin, the son of Aang and Katara. The series is set 70 years in the future and contains a stellar voice cast which was released last week, including:

KORRA voiced by Janet Varney
JINORA voiced by Kiernan Shipka
HIROSHI SATO voiced by Daniel Dae Kim
MAKO voiced by David Faustino
ASAMI voiced by Seychelle Gabriel
LIEUTENANT voiced by Lance Henriksen
BOLIN voiced by P.J. Byrne
TENZIN voiced by JK Simmons

Dante Basco, who lent his voice to Prince Zuko confirmed his return, via twitter stating that he will be giving voice to a different character related to Zuko in some way. The Legend of Korra is slated to be a mini-series originally at 12 episodes, but Nickelodeon ordered an additional 14 bringing that total up to 26. To me this shows how much faith they have in the new series to wash the bad taste of the film from the mouths of all the fans. The animation style is apparently the same as we get a look at the protagonist in action and is scheduled to begin airing on Nickelodeon in early 2012. The official synopsis of the show is below:

“The Legend of Korra” takes place 70 years after the events of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and follows the adventures of the Avatar after Aang – a passionate, rebellious, and fearless teenage girl from the Southern Water Tribe named Korra (voice of Janet Varney).

With three of the four elements under her belt (Earth, Water, and Fire), Korra seeks to master the final element, Air. Her quest leads her to the epicenter of the modern “Avatar” world, Republic City – a metropolis that is fueled by steampunk technology. It is a virtual melting pot where benders and non-benders from all nations live and thrive.

However, Korra discovers that Republic City is plagued by crime as well as a growing anti-bending revolution that threatens to rip it apart. Under the tutelage of Aang’s son, Tenzin (JK Simmons), Korra begins her airbending training while dealing with the dangers at large.

So the first images of Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman are flying around the web, and I must say “me likes”. The full body shot showcases the outfit that should be appearing in the pilot episode in production by NBC. Of course some alterations were made, first off no hot pants. Not sure I completely support this idea but if you take a look at the image you’ll see why I can get behind this one. *Hit the jump for the first look.

The alterations shouldn’t come as a surprise as David E. Kelley, who has been helmed to direct the pilot, has made it clear fans shouldn’t expect a copy of Lynda Carters uniform from the live action television series of the 70’s. The costume actually takes a page from superstar artist Jim Lee’s redesign introduced in “Wonder Woman #600”

The series pilot is described as a reinvention of the iconic DC Comics character and the synopsis goes: Wonder Woman — a.k.a. Diana Prince — is a vigilante crime fighter in Los Angeles but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life. Kelley and Bill D’Elia (Boston Legal, The Practice) are the executive producers. The pilot was written by Kelley and will be directed by Jeffrey Reiner (NBC’s The Event). Wonder Woman is from David E. Kelley Productions and Warner Bros. Television. “Wonder Woman” also stars Elizabeth Hurley, Carry Elwes, Tracie Thoms and Pedro Pascal.

Lionsgate Entertainment has released the official one-sheet for the upcoming remake directed by Marcus Nispel; which is in the same vein as last week's motion poster. The fantasy action adventure is scheduled for 3D theatrical release on August 19th, 2011.

The most legendary Barbarian of all time is back this Summer. Having thrived and evolved for eight consecutive decades in the public imagination - in prose and graphics, on the big screen and small, in games and properties of all kinds - Conan’s exploits in the Hyborian Age now come alive like never before in a colossal 3D action-adventure film.

Conan the Barbarian stars Jason Mamoa as the titular hero, a Cimmerian warrior who vows vengeance upon the nefarious Khalar Singh (Stephen Lang) following the murder of his parents. Ron Perlman co-stars as Conan's father Corin, while Rachel Nichols plays the lead female character Tamara and Rose McGowan occupies the role of an evil witch; also starring Bob Sapp, Leo Howard and Said Taghmaoui.

Next time you head to the movie theaters to catch the latest flicks, be on the look out for this new Thor movie prop featuring Thor's hammer Mjolnir out in the lobby. Embedded in stone, those who can lift the hammer of Thor can wield his power, do you have what it takes?

"Thor" stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Stellan Skarsgard, Jaimie Alexander, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Josh Dallas, Tadanobu Asano, Idris Elba, Clark Gregg, Colm Feore and opens on May 6th, 2011.

The storyline for the series was created by noted comic book scribe Warren Ellis and appears to be heavily influenced from the Grant Morrison New X-Men run as well as Joss Whedon’s two year stint on Astonishing X-Men. The series takes place one year after the death of Jean Grey and the dissolution of the team.

If you read comic books then this series might interest you even more since the anime will be loosely based on the first arc of the 2004's Astonishing X-Men series. The anime will begin on April 1st and will be broadcast on G4TV later this year. Any of you interested in this anime adaptation?

Image Comics partner and The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman is teaming up with artist and Image co-founder Rob Liefeld for a new sci-fi series titled The Infinite, as first reported in USA Today.

The premise sees a soldier from a post-apocalyptic future traveling in the past to team up with his 19-year-old self to defeat world-conquering enemies, the titular "Infinite." USA Today reports that the series is set to start in early August, and two issues are already in the can. The series wil be released through Kirkman's Image imprint Skybound.

This isn't the first time a Kirkman/Liefeld collaboration has been announced — back in 2007, plans were made public for the duo to collaborate on a Killraven series for Marvel Comics, but the comic has yet to be scheduled, though Liefeld has said four issues have been turned in to the publisher. They're also both contributing to miniseries Image United, which has been plagued by delays.

To tie in with the big-screen Thor hitting on May 6th, Marvel Animation has announced an animated film coming directly to DVD and Blu-ray on May 17th. IGN has the details and a first look at the set's cover art, pictured below.

First previewed over a year ago, Tales of Asgard will tell the story of Thor's earliest years and his first adventure with his brother, Loki and the Warriors Three.

Special features on the set will include two audio commentaries (one with Supervising Producer Craig Kyle and Screenwriter Greg Johnson, and a second with Supervising Director Gary Hartle, Animation Director Sam Liu and Character Designer Phil Bourassa), a featurette entitled "Worthy: The Making of Thor: Tales of Asgard" and an episode of "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes."

ICv2 has learned that WizKids is preparing to launch a HeroClix Online game that will debut in the late spring or early summer. The PC-based game was created by the North Carolina-based Icarus Studios LLC, developers of the Fallen Earth MMO.

WizKids’ Lax Chandra explained that Magic Online was the model for what WizKids is trying to do with HeroClix Online: “We definitely don’t want to cannibalize sales with the online game. This is meant to be completely non-cannibalistic, as much as we can. Our goal is to bring back players. We want to recapture players who got married or whatever, stopped going to the stores, and stopped playing the game. We want to give them a way to play at home, play against someone online. We’re going to have rewards (in the online game) that drive players into the stores.”

The HeroClix Online Game will present a computerized version of the HeroClix tabletop game with screens and gameplay that duplicate as closely as possible what occurs in an actual HeroClix game.

Adrianne Palicki (“Friday Night Lights,” “Red Dawn”) will star in the title role of “Wonder Woman,” a new series pilot from David E. Kelley (“Boston Legal,” “Ally McBeal,” NBC’s “Harry’s Law”).

The series pilot is a reinvention of the iconic DC Comics title in which Wonder Woman – a/k/a Diana Prince – is a vigilante crime fighter in Los Angeles but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life. Kelley and Bill D’Elia (“Boston Legal,” “The Practice”) are the executive producers. The pilot was written by Kelley and will be directed by Jeffrey Reiner (NBC’s “The Event”). “Wonder Woman” is from David E Kelley Productions and Warner Bros. Television.

Palicki, who appeared as Tyra Collete in NBC’s acclaimed “Friday Night Lights,” will star in the upcoming feature-film remake of “Red Dawn.” She also starred in the horror film “Breaking the Girl” and in the recent series “Lone Star.”

So here is some CGI footage of the Thundercats movie that was supposed to happen back in 2007. When Warner Bros. had tapped
Videogame veteran Jerry O'Flaherty to helm the studio's CGI-animated "Thundercats" feature, based on the popular '80s cartoon series, comicbook and toy line.

The project would have marked the first feature directing gig for O'Flaherty, who served as an art director on such bestselling games as "Gears of War" and "Unreal Tournament 3" for Epic Games and the "Command and Conquer" series from Westwood Studios.

So, this is kind of cool, in 2009, Movieline posted some leaked concept art of the film. As of now, the film has been put on hold, but the new TV series is scheduled to drop this year.

What do you think? I honestly have no idea how old this footage is, though. So the movie could be completely changed by the time its releases (if at all). I’ll keep my ear to the ground about any new developments. Facebook here!!!!

McFarlane Toys has announced two separate licensing deals to create figures based on The Walking Dead. The first agreement is with AMC to create action figures based on the TV series that debuted last Halloween, while the second is with Robert Kirkman, creator of the original The Walking Dead comic book. In 2011 McFarlane Toys will produce two four-figure series of The Walking Dead figures, one based on each license. Both series will debut in the fall, which individual figures likely to sell for $14.99 at retail.

The Walking Dead Series 1, which is due out in September, will be based on Kirkman’s Image Comics series and will include highly-detailed six-inch action figures of Officer Rick Grimes, Michonne, Zombie Lurker, and Zombie Roamer.

The Walking Dead Series 2, which will hit retail in November, is based on the AMC series and will include Deputy Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, Zombie Walker, and Zombie Biter.

Each figure in both series will include interchangeable accessories, and multiple points of articulation. The zombie figure feature unique gory play action effects such as exploding heads and removable limbs.

So the X-Men:first class trailer is making the rounds, i went ahead and snagged it for your...and my viewing pleasure.

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to prevent nuclear Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.

The film stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, January Jones, Oliver Platt, and Kevin Bacon. Matthew Vaughn (“Kick-Ass”) directs, and the producers are Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg and Bryan Singer. Singer, who helmed the acclaimed blockbusters “X-Men” and “X2,” wrote the story for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS. facebook it

Earlier last week, it was reported how Samuel L. Jackson gave up in an interview with Jimmy Fallon that he would be reading as Nick Fury alongside five actresses vying for an unidentified female sidekick role.

According to Deadline, Cobie Smulders,best known for her current role as Robin Scherbatsky on the CBS television series How I Met Your Mother, is the front runner for the role of SHIELD Agent Maria Hill in the Joss Whedon-directed "The Avengers." Maria Hill, who in the comics was the ruthless interim executive director of SHIELD, who was not above blackmailing and bullying superheros to get her way. She was eventually supplanted in that top job by Tony Stark aka Iron Man.

Smulders was up against the likes of Morena Baccarin, Jessica Lucas and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. As with all Marvel movies, the deal comes with a pile of options for appearances in future superhero films. Marvel Studios starts production in April, which presumably falls into Smulders' TV hiatus on the CBS sitcom.

The Avengers will be released by Disney May 4, 2012.

Ever dream of squaring off with Marvel vs Capcom 3 fighting game legends, but never have the chance?

Capcom has announced two new secret characters coming to Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds! Hsien-ko and Sentinel.

Hsien Ko (Lei-Lei in Japan) comes from the Darkstalkers series. She, along with Donovan, takes the role of a "Dark Hunter", in that she hunts darkstalkers. Despite her appearance, she is a human but transformed by a magic spell.


Sentinel is a mutant-hunting robots, therefore, they are usually employed as supervillains or as the tools of other villains. While many are capable of tactical thought, only a handful are self-aware.

It looks like 'The Cape' might be hanging up it's cape...

NBC is reducing their order of 13 episodes to only 10 episodes because of the series low ratings. The show isn't canceled but it still either way it doesn't look good for the cape crusader.

Official Press Release

Roaring to life through WBA and Studio4°C’s use of the Japanese animated artistry of anime, “ThunderCats” characters Lion-O, Mumm-Ra, Panthro, Cheetara and others will spring off the screen with realistic cat-like characteristics inconceivable in previous incarnations.

The new “ThunderCats” will appeal to viewers who have loved the characters all their lives as well as young newcomers to the franchise. A sweeping tale combining swords and science and boasting ferocious battles with the highest of stakes, the grand origin story of Prince Lion-O’s ascension to the throne – and of those who would thwart his destiny at any cost – takes on epic dimensions in this sharp new telling. As the forces of good and evil battle each other in the quest for the fabled Stones of Power, Lion-O and his champions learn valuable lessons of loyalty, honor and mortality in every episode.

“ThunderCats” is executive produced by Sam Register (“Teen Titans,” “Ben 10,” “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”). Michael Jelenic (“Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” “Wonder Woman”) and Ethan Spaulding (“Avatar: The Last Airbender”) are the producers.

The upcoming game from NetherRealm Studios is simply titled Mortal Kombat, and will be the ninth installment in the series. The gruesome fighter will see players return to the time period of the first three Mortal Kombat games. Developer Ed Boon had this to say about the overall plot:

...Raiden is about to be killed by Shao Kahn, and just before he delivers the last blow, he [Raiden] sends a mental message to his earlier self, so the camera rewinds back to Mortal Kombat 1. The Raiden from back then gets a message and he doesn't know what's going on, but he knows something bad's going to happen, and the game spans Mortal Kombat 1, 2, and 3, retelling the story with an enlightened Raiden, and he's changing the course of things, so everything you've seen happen before – Liu Kang winning, the guys turning into cybernetic ninjas, are changed around, so you might see a character become cybernetic who wasn't before, and so you see a different version [of events].

The game will include roughly 26 fighters, and feature the classic 2D fighting plane with up-to-date 3D graphics. After watching this I was frightened yet turned on at the same time, check it out for yourself.

Mortal Kombat is scheduled for release on April 19, 2011 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles. Facebook check it out here!

Wizkids announced today the addition of "The Lord of the Rings" property to their 2011 HeroClix release schedule through a licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Consumer Products. The first products of the new "The Lord of the Rings" line will be a HeroClix miniatures game followed by a HeroClix strategic board game, both of which will release in the back half of 2011.

"The Lord of the Rings" HeroClix miniatures game will be sold in two different packages: a campaign style box set and the traditional booster format. The all-in-one campaign style box set will include everything a player needs, including NEW epic level rules and maps. The booster format includes the figures, similar to other previous HeroClix releases. With whichever format chosen, all of the twenty or more figures will be compatible with other HeroClix miniatures games.

The second release is a unique semi cooperative HeroClix board game, following in the similar format of our other HeroClix board game products. HeroClix figures, a gameboard and several decks of cards provide all the components needed to play this unique take on "The Lord of the Rings" story. The fun twist in the game is that players get to play as the Nazgul working with and against other Nazgul trying to capture the One Ring before it reaches Mount Doom.

DC Comics has ceased using the Comics Code Authority Seal of Approval, which has identified its comics as appropriate for all ages for over 50 years, as of the beginning of 2011. Instead, it will use a rating system for its DC Universe and Johnny DC imprints similar to that used by other comics publishers and which it uses for its digital releases. That system has four ratings:

E – EVERYONE
Appropriate for readers of all ages. May contain cartoon violence and/or some comic mischief.

T – TEEN
Appropriate for readers age 12 and older. May contain mild violence, language and/or suggestive themes.

T+ - TEEN PLUS
Appropriate for readers age 16 and older. May contain moderate violence, mild profanity, graphic imagery and/or suggestive themes.

M – MATURE
Appropriate for readers age 18 and older. May contain intense violence, extensive profanity, nudity, sexual themes and other content suitable only for older readers.

Dc will continue to label all of its Vertigo releases as “For Mature Readers.”

The Comics Code Authority, part of the Comics Magazine Association of America, was formed as a self-policing organization in the 1950s in response to public, business, and political pressure on comics content. Marvel withdrew in 2001 and uses its own rating system.

Bongo dropped the code a year ago, leaving Archie as the only company still using the Comics Code Authority seal.

Archie Comics will also cease using the Comics Code Authority logo with its February shipping books, the company announced today. Archie is the final publisher to announce that it will no longer use the Code logo to identify kid-safe entertainment, ending an era that started in 1954 in the wake of the Congressional hearings on comics content and juvenile delinquency.
DC, the other remaining publisher using the Comics Code Authority, announced Thursday January 20th that it ceased using the Code this month.

“We have a great deal of respect for what the Comics Code Authority has stood for over the years, but at the end of the day, the final judge of our content is our readership,” Archie President Mike Pellerito said. “The CCA has never driven Archie’s editorial direction. As we have for 70 years, we will continue to produce family-friendly, entertaining and relevant stories.”

Marvel Studios has hired Mark Bailey to write the script for The Black Panther, reports Heat Vision.

Bailey hails from the documentary film world and his credits include HBO documentaries such as "Pandemic: Facing AIDS" and "Ghost of Abu Ghraib." The trade says his latest project is a feature adaptation of the non-fiction book "The Last of the Tribe: The Epic Quest to Save a Lone Man in the Amazon," to which Doug Liman is attached to direct.

The Black Panther first appeared in the pages of the "Fantastic Four" comic in 1966. The character is the king of a resource-rich fictional African country who becomes a superhero.

Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige is producing.

Studios will reveal new footage from a lot of their upcoming titles on Sunday, February 6, before, during and after Super Bowl XLV on FOX. Each 30-second spot is costing the studios about $3 million, though last year a record 106 million viewers tuned in, guaranteeing that a massive amount of eyes will see the spots. It looks like Warner Bros. Pictures and 20th Century Fox may be sitting it out again, though one would think that Fox is still considering airing the first X-Men: First Class footage during the game.

Here's the line-up for the pre-game hours, the game itself and the spots that will air during the post-game "Glee" episode:

Pre-Game Spots:

Battle: Los Angeles (Sony)
The Eagle (Focus)
Just Go With It (Sony)
Kung Fu Panda 2 (Paramount)
Priest (Sony)

Game Spots:

Captain America: The First Avenger (Paramount)
Cowboys & Aliens (Universal)
Limitless (Relativity)
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (Disney)
Rango (Paramount)
Super 8 (Paramount)
Thor (Paramount)
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Paramount)

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that NBC has picked up David E. Kelley's new "Wonder Woman" pilot after all! The network was the final one to pass on the show over a week ago, but that was before the new regime headed by chairman Robert Greenblatt was officially in place in light of the impending Comcast takeover. The magazine reports:

One factor that seemed to have sunk the Wonder Woman project the first time around was the price of rebooting the series, with the studio requiring a rich license fee to bring the iconic character back to life. But then, NBC has been down this road before: It rebooted Bionic Woman. Kelley’s take incorporated the superhero’s signature lasso, cuffs, and plane in the script, and insiders said it was a serious, non-campy take on the DC Comics character.

Now the big question is who should play Wonder Woman?

Today Capcom officially announces two new "Secret Characters Akuma and Taskmaster for Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds!

Akuma (in Japanese, "devil") known in Japan as Gouki (豪鬼 Gōki?), is a video game character from the Street Fighter series of fighting games. Akuma made his debut in Super Street Fighter II Turbo as a secret character and hidden boss. In the storyline of the Street Fighter video games, he is the younger brother of Gouken, Ryu and Ken's sensei. In some games he also has an enhanced version named Shin Akuma, or Shin Gouki (真・豪鬼?, the "true Gouki") in Japanese.



Taskmaster is a former wrestler and mayor of Metro City. He often takes to the street to deal with Metro City’s gang problem. He’ll be joined by Capcom comrades Crimson Viper, Zero, Arthur, Nathan “Rad” Spencer, Wesker, Tron Bonne, Viewtiful Joe, Amaterasu, Dante, Ryu, Morrigan, Chris Redfield, Felicia, Trish and Chun-Li.

In All-Star Superman, the Man of Steel rescues an ill-fated mission to the Sun (sabotaged by Lex Luthor) and, in the process, is oversaturated by radiation – which accelerates his cell degeneration.

Based on the Eisner Award-winning DC Comics series/graphic novel of the same name by Grant Morrison with illustration by Frank Quitely, All-Star Superman is executive produced by animation guru Bruce Timm and directed by Sam Liu (Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths) from a script by acclaimed comics writer Dwayne McDuffie (Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths).

The celebrity-packed voice cast is headed by James Denton (Desperate Housewives) as Superman, Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) as Lois Lane, and Anthony LaPaglia (Without A Trace) as Lex Luthor. The stellar cast includes seven-time Emmy® Award winner Ed Asner (Up) as Perry White, Golden Globe® winner Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under) as Ma Kent, Matthew Gray Gubler (Criminal Minds) as Jimmy Olsen and Linda Cardellini (ER) as Nasty.

Sony has released the first image of Andrew Garfield in costume in Marc Webb’s Spider-Man. Spider-Man is set to hit theaters on July 3rd, 2012.

Let us know what you think of Spidey's new look.

Attention anime and Marvel fans alike, do you want a little taste of the "X-Men" and "Blade" anime series?

Just for you, we've got your first look at the logos for both series currently being animated by renowned Japanese animation studio Madhouse!

Both series will hit the United States next year when they come to G4--along with "Iron Man" and "Wolverine"--but until then stay tuned to Marvel.com for all the latest on the series!

X-Men
The X-Men are reunited following the death of a teammate, and are summoned by Charles Xavier to Japan following the abduction of Hisako Ichiki (Armor). There, they confront the U-Men, a lunatic cult that steals and transplants mutant organs to further strengthen their own army, and the battle for justice is on.

Blade
Eric Brooks--known as Blade--seeks revenge on Deacon Frost, the vampire lord who killed his mother while she was still pregnant with Eric. With all the powers of a vampire with none of their weaknesses, Blade's quest for vengeance leads him throughout Southeast Asia in search of Frost, where, in Vietnam, he discovers a vampire plot that threatens to take down the whole world.

The new series will be produced by Madhouse for Marvel Entertainment in association with Sony Pictures Television, Inc, and will make their exclusive U.S. TV Premiere on G4 in 2011.

Supposedly this is a new trailer to Batman: Arkham City but if you have seen the wrld premiere on the VGA's then you've seen this one. It has a few minor added scenes but pretty much the same trailer.

Batman: Arkham City is the follow-up to the award-winning, critically acclaimed hit videogame Batman: Arkham Asylum. Batman: Arkham City will be available for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Games for Windows PC and the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system in Fall 2011.

Developed by Rocksteady Studios, Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security “home” for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds. Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.

Batman: Arkham City is based on DC Comics’ core Batman license.

WizKids will release Star Trek Expeditions, a new Co-Operative HeroClix game designed by Reiner Knizia, on June 15th. The game, based on the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie released in 2009, is for one to four players and takes roughly 60 minutes to play.

Star Trek Expeditions will include six HeroClix minis (Kirk, Spock, Uhuru, Dr. McCoy, the Enterprise, and a Klingon Battle Cruiser), a game board, cards, tokens, and dice.

In the game’s new storyline, players must lead an away team to the surface of the planet Nibia. It includes random side missions, a unique branching mission tree, and three difficulty levels, which provides a high replayability factor.

Retailers that pre-order five copies will receive a free demo copy for in-store demos (one per store).

WizKids’ Star Trek license includes all the TV shows and feature films (see “WizKids Gets Star Trek”).

A group of Milwaukee police officers with vigilante leanings wore black gloves and knit caps with logos of the Marvel character Punisher on patrol, according to documents cited in an investigative report by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Some of the members of the group also “had Punisher skull stickers on their cars, lockers, and memo books.” One of the officers had a Punisher skull with the number “7” on his truck (most of the members of the group worked the late shift in District 7). Another, who had a Punisher tattoo, tried to buy an assault-style rifle similar to one used by the Punisher.

Some of the officers, called a “gang” in one internal Milwaukee Police Department report obtained by the newspaper, were involved in the brutal beating of Frank Jude, Jr., a bi-racial man accused of stealing a cop’s wallet and badge at an off-duty police party in October 2004. Jude accused the police who beat him of using racial epithets during the beating. No badge or wallet was ever found. Seven police officers were eventually convicted of civil rights violations in federal court in connection with the case, and nine officers were fired by the Milwaukee Police Department. The officer who attempted to buy an assault weapon was also convicted on another federal charge after trying to buy the gun while out on bail.

The documents exposing the secret group of “Punishers” were obtained by the Journal Sentinel in connection with a civil case filed by Jude against the city of Milwaukee and former Milwaukee police officers. The group reportedly continued to exist after the purge of the Department, including a police recruit with a Punisher tattoo who continues to serve on the force, despite a recommendation by an internal investigator that he be terminated.

One internal investigation from 2007 said of the group, “This is a group of rogue officers within our agency who I would characterize as brutal and abusive.”

A more benign real life “superhero” from Milwaukee came to light last year (see “Kick-Ass for Real”).

WizKids/NECA has announced plans to release a retail version of the Colossal Dr. Manhattan figure for the Watchmen HeroClix line in April. This will be a new version of the company’s 2010 convention exclusive miniature, with an updated paint scheme.

The model stands nearly 15 inches tall, with a base measuring 10 inches by 6 inches. It weighs about two pounds. Along with the model, the package includes re-designed campaign rules, character card, dials, and a 24-inch by 36-inch map of Dr. Manhattan’s “Crystal Palace.” The model offers three different power levels, at 600, 800, or 1200 points.

The Colossal Dr. Manhattan model is scheduled for release on April 6, 2011. It will have a suggested retail price of $79.99.
