Lex Luthor On Plans For Justice League, Flash, Wonder Woman Movies In 2013

News
March 29, 2011

Lex Luthor, evil genius and president of the DC Universe, spoke today on his plans for Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, the Justice League, and of course, Superman…

…our mistake. This is actually Jeff Robinov, evil genius and president of the Warner Bros. motion picture group, which owns the DC Universe, who spoke today with the Los Angeles Times on his plans for Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, the Justice League, and of course, Superman…

The first priority for the man with the ultimate say on what films get made at Warner Bros.: Finally getting the Justice League, DC’s team featuring all its top characters, on the big screen in 2013. The picture had been very close to production in late 2007 and early 2008, but was killed by the Writers Guild of America strike, tax credit issues in Australia, and concerns by some at Warner about presenting a competing (and conflicting) version of Batman while director Christopher Nolan’s films were breaking box office records.

But Robinov said a new Justice League script is in the works. Also being written for Warner are scripts featuring the Flash and Wonder Woman, who could be spun off into their own movies after Justice League.

We apologize for the confusion. And we suddenly understand why no one is talking about having Luthor in the next Superman film.

November 6, 2010

We know, we know, you’re weary and worn out, tired of all things political. But, we loved this show when it was first on the air and miss it terribly. Warner Bros. Digital Distribution (WBDD) today announced all seven seasons of The West Wing are available for the first time in high definition exclusively through digital download on iTunes, Amazon Video On Demand and other online digital retailers. Winner of 30 Emmy Awards™ and two Golden Globes™, The West Wing aired between 1999 and 2006, giving viewers a fictionalized look inside life in the Oval Office.

WBDD is also giving fans of The West Wing something to vote “yes” for this Election Week – an exclusive behind-the-scenes interview with one of the show’s executive producers, Thomas Schlamme. Now available at , fans can get a sneak peek and hear details about the show they love.

“The overwhelming fan response to the show has always been truly humbling and I’m excited to work with Warner Bros. in bringing this collection to consumers,” said The West Wing Executive Producer Thomas Schlamme, who is featured in a special interview clip.

The West Wing offers a behind-the-scenes look at the life of the eclectic group of frenzied staffers in the Oval Office. The sophisticated series starred Rob Lowe, Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff, John Spencer, Bradley Whitford and Martin Sheen — just cast this week as the new Uncle Ben in the next Spider-Man film.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’, Yet Remains Flat

News
October 28, 2010

Christopher Nolan’s third Batman film will be called “The Dark Knight Rises” and although we still don’t know who will be the villain of the 2012 film, he did eliminate one of the big contenders: “It won’t be the Riddler,” Nolan said in an exclusive interview with Hero Complex.

Most interesting is that Warner Bros.
agreed with Nolan that the film should not be in 3-D, instead using high-definition approaches and IMAX cameras. One could argue that he’s leaving money on the table by not embracing 3-D and the higher ticket prices, but I suspect he’ll still do fine dominating IMAX screens for a good long while, which also sell seats at a premium price.

Luthor Returns To Smallville

News
August 21, 2010

The wait is over! Now we know – Luthor will be returning to Smallville this November (schedule willing) for at least two episodes in its tenth and final season.had

Ummm… To be fair, that’s Lionel Luthor. We haven’t heard about his depilated-pated kid Lex yet, who might be surprised to learn that neither of them are still dead. When last seen, Lex pushed his daddy out a window to his death.

According to Entertainment Weekly (owned by Time Warner, which owns Warner Bros, which owns DC Comics and produces Smallville), Lionel, played by John Glover, will be joining a slew of Smallville ex-expatriates, including Laura Vandervoort as Supergirl, James Marsters as Brainiac, and
Michael Shanks as Hawkman. And he won’t be the only returning dead daddy, either: Pa Kent himself will be back, again, still in the capable hands of John Schneider.

Some of Smallville‘s finest moments were between Glover and Michael Rosenbaum, who played his upwardly-mobile son Lex. There’s no word on Lex’s return to the series; my guess is that we will see him back for at least the final two episodes – the latter of which concluding with Clark Kent putting on his cape and big red S and flying off into the sunset.

Green Lantern Might Drop Deadpool

News
August 12, 2010

Rob Liefeld reveals Ryan Reynolds, everybody’s favorite cinematic Deadpool, might abandon the role now that next year’s Green Lantern movie is to be the first of a trilogy.

Unless, of course, GL tanks. Then it’s every man for himself.

According to Rob, who created Deadpool for Marvel Comics, Warner Bros is determined to make Reynolds’ superhero persona exclusively restricted to the Emerald Emasculator. He points out that Harrison Ford managed to handle both Han Solo and Indiana Jones; since I’m older, I’ll note Buster Crabbe handled both Flash Gordon AND Buck Rogers… as well as Tarzan, Billy the Kid, Captain Gallant, and Red Berry. And we might not have the bandwidth to list all of Timothy Dalton’s appearances as comics and heroic fantasy characters.

The directing chores on Deadpool have been offered to Robert Rodriguez with a start date sometime after production wraps on Spy Kids 4, should he take the gig. The Zombieland screenwriters have written the script. In case you missed it, Reynolds played Deadpool in the Wolverine origin movie.

Green Lantern is set to hit the theaters on June 17, 2011. It’s directed by two-time James Bond director Martin Campbell.

Warner to Release ‘Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics’ in November

News
August 11, 2010

The long-awaited documentary, Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics, screened at Comic-Con International and was previously announced as being included as a bonus in the forthcoming Batman Beyond complete series boxset. Now we have word that the crown jewel of the company’s 75th anniversary celebration will be available on its own this November.

Here are the official details:

BURBANK, CA (August 11, 2010) – Warner Bros. Pictures presents an enthralling examination of the creative forces behind the World’s Greatest Super Heroes in Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics, an all-new documentary that takes viewers behind the scenes of the iconic company with unprecedented access to the Warner Bros. and DC Comics archives. Narrated by Ryan Reynolds, Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics will be distributed by Warner Home Video on November 9, 2010 on DVD for $24.98 (SRP). Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics will also be available On Demand and for Download.

Behind the amazing tales of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and a host of other well-known characters is the equally impressive story of the challenges, creativity and triumphs of the company that brought those characters to life. Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics is both a celebration of the best writers and artists in comics and a thoughtful exploration of 75 years of DC Comics history.

Produced by the Academy Award ® -nominated team behind Spellbound (Feature Documentary), Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics combines excerpts from comics, films and television series with the insight of some of history’s most influential comic book creators and editors, among them Neal Adams, Karen Berger, Mike Carlin, Dan DiDio, Neil Gaiman, Geoff Johns, Jim Lee, Paul Levitz, Dwayne McDuffie, Grant Morrison, Dennis O’Neil, Paul Pope, Louise Simonson, Mark Waid, Len Wein, and Marv Wolfman.

Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics is written and directed by Mac Carter. Jeffrey Blitz (Spellbound, The Office) served as executive producer. Producer is Gregory Noveck and co-producer is Ivan Cohen. Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics is produced by Sean Welch and Janet Eckholm.

“From the bans to the breakthroughs, from humble pulp beginnings to the literary rise of the graphic novel, the story of DC Comics holds a mirror to an ever-evolving enterprise and the society reflected in its comic book pages,” said Diane Nelson, President, DC Entertainment. “It’s a true American story – Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics is a riveting, exciting, surprising revelation of that fascinating history and the men and women who forged it.”
