    • Comic Book Reviews: Invincible #48, JLA #18 and Superman Confidential #12

      POSTED BY ALEX ZALBEN, FEBRUARY 18 2008 10:30 AM | PERMALINK

      More Newsarama Sneak Reviews coming your way!

      For this episode, we got our hands on Invincible #48, where we found a nice assortment of regulars from the Image universe. Atom Eve is back and although this book is short on story, we still recommending picking it up.

      Justice League of America #18 is a follow-up on the story line where the villains were sent to prison on another planet. It's a decent issue but we think it serves as filler and hope there's better stuff coming.

      Then in Superman Confidential...

    • The Comic-Movie Rundown

      POSTED BY KENNETH ENGLAND, SEPTEMBER 25 2007 02:45 PM | PERMALINK

      Been a while since I brought you fine readers some of the ever-ubiquitous comic-movie news, so I'm back with a sack full of D.C. (and indie) movie news to bring you today. How much news fits in a sack, you ask? Enough to keep you happy. Now, let's get to it.

      Let's start with Wonder Woman, since it pleases me that the Katie Holmes-as-Diana rumor was just that... a rumor. Despite her resemblance to a young Linda Carter (I mean, compare the cheekbones...) something deep inside told me that casting wasn't...

    • JLA Rumors Get Crazy

      POSTED BY KENNETH ENGLAND, SEPTEMBER 03 2007 10:32 AM | PERMALINK

      In an age where it is finally attractive for established big-name talent in Hollywood to play superhero roles in movies, it's getting harder and harder to tell the genuinely possible casting rumors from the blatantly made up casting rumors. In point of fact I did not actually know where to land on the newest JLA casting rumors that began circulating two days ago. You know the ones, that Mel Gibson is signing on to work with Miller again, and that the Gyllenhaal siblings are signing on to dress up the...

    • JLA Movie Rumors Continue ...

      POSTED BY KENNETH ENGLAND, AUGUST 27 2007 01:00 PM | PERMALINK

      This week has been absolutely abuzz with D.C. comic-movie news, and today is no different. Following up on the JLA mo-cap/CGI story from earlier this week, IESB has done a little more digging on the situation and is now reporting that JLA will be a mix of CGI and live action, with the CGI being used to render the OMACS and the underwater scenes. Good news for those fans who were terrified of the prospects of a wholly CGI movie.

      Also reported today is that Routh and Bale will not play Superman and...

    • JLA=CGI?

      POSTED BY KENNETH ENGLAND, AUGUST 23 2007 03:00 PM | PERMALINK

      Word on the street Thursday has it that the upcoming Justice League of America movie will not, in fact, be a live action movie. Rather, IESB is reporting on what sounds to be fairly reliable rumors that the movie will be a CGI/motion-capture affair. This could make for an interesting movie feel (I've actually always wanted "Kingdom Come" to be done in this manner on screen, so this is probably as close as I'm ever going to get) and would obviously make it easier to pull this movie and "Superman...

    • Justice League of America Beats Up Superman

      POSTED BY KENNETH ENGLAND, AUGUST 18 2007 04:15 PM | PERMALINK

      Well, sort of. Yesterday saw some infinitely interesting information come out regarding a massive hurry-up by the Warner studio of the Justice League of America movie, potentially pushing back or abandoning the upcoming Superman: Man of Steel sequel. Odds are, between those two options, this news only signals a push back of the Supes solo story, considering much work and money has already been pumped into the project. Officially, Warner Bros. contends that Man of Steel is still on track, which is all...

    • JLA Gets Director and.... Death?

      POSTED BY , AUGUST 02 2007 11:33 AM | PERMALINK

       

      Rumors abound today that the JLA movie that has been whispered about (and blabbed about in my column last week) has found a director. The word on the street is that George Miller, best known for directing “Mad Max” and “Happy Feet,” will be directing the Justice League movie. Hmm… from “Happy Feet” to “Justice League of America”… that’s a rather odd juxtaposition.

      As odd as that transition may be for him, at least this is the guy who brought us “Mad Max” so that gives some hope (although it was...

    • Spandex Overload: "JLA" Movie in the Works?

      POSTED BY , JULY 30 2007 02:45 PM | PERMALINK

      I’ve long said that the comic book movie that was in the most need of being made, out of the characters not yet tapped for a live-action movie, was "The Avengers." I would put "Justice League of America" as a close second. If the rumors are true, a live-action "JLA" movie may be happening.

      Word has it that Kieran and Michele Mulroney have been tapped by D.C. to pen the script for the movie. One obvious question springing from this news is will Routh/Bale play Superman/Batman, as one would...
