Olivia Wilde As Lois Lane In New Superman Movie?
I don't really see it, and her name is just one of many circulating around the rumor mill after Superman was cast. Oddly, I think she may be too pretty for the role. Unlike some other "it" girls, Wilde can actually act some, but Lois Lane is pretty but not drop dead gorgeous ...read more

Krypton Gets Race
I haven't purchased the New Krypton story in Superman yet (I'll probably just buy the trade if DC gets it out in a timely manner) but apparently they're showing that Krypton wasn't just for white guys. For the character's first 30 years, Superman’s homeworld of Krypton was ...read more

Obama Expresses Anti-Superman Sentiment
Say it ain't so! 'I was always into the Spider-Man/Batman model. The guys who have too many powers, like Superman, that always made me think they weren't really earning their superhero status. It's a little too easy. Whereas Spider-Man and Batman, they have some inner turmoil. ...read more
DC's Real Crisis
Apparently some kind of shakeup is coming to DC comics. Good, I think. Countdown was just a mess, and Final Crisis doesn't feel epic enough to me just yet even though its an issue in. The main problem is that DC is not feeling like the shared universe it should be. Ironically, ...read more
