There may be some practical reasons why the grown-for-television superheroes dress in plain clothes rather than the colorful garb of their comic book and movie counterparts. (For those of you who came in late: we’re continuing last week’s discussion of superhero costumes.) I remember visiting the set of one of Joel Schumacher’s Batman flicks and…
If you worry about the unwholesome imagery and unhealthy body types being portrayed in comics — corsetted Wonder Woman, bare belly Supergirl, fishnet clad Zatanna and Black Canary, leather wearing Storm, and so on — and are worried that it could provoke problems when people try to squeeze into outfits like that for Halloween this…
This is why we’re sometimes reticent to pass along casting call news. Everyone beleived Variety when they said that Jessica Biel’s talks to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming Justice League movie were solid and the real thing and so on. We even found you a photo of Biel in a WW t-shirt to seal…
Comic fans love to play imaginary casting games. Now that comic book movies have become big business, the folks with real money have the means to make those games come true. Here’s the latest casting news, both rumored and factual (at least for now): Jessica Biel to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming Justice League…
If you’re one of the millions of Americans who are pissed you’re too big for Underoos, you can take comfort in the knowledge that next spring adult sportswear manufacturer Salvage is going to be coming out with a line of clothing that incorporates Superman, Batman and next year’s Dark Knight movie. No word on Wonder…
At Heroes Con in Charlotte this past June, one convention goer asked DC EIC Dan DiDio what was the point of Amazons Attack. “What’s the point of any comic?” DiDio quipped back, leaving me to believe that the point was in fact simply to separate me from eighteen dollars and eat up ten minutes of…
What is up with heroes today? I just got back from Wizard World Chicago and as I was walking around the con I took notice of the posters, billboards and other comic company signage. What I observed with little exception is the look on the heroes faces… they all looked mad. I mean they looked…
On Sunday, The New York Times gave Warner Home Video’s forthcoming direct-to-DVD adaptation of Daryn Cooke’s The New Fontier the preview treatment, ahead of its "official" preview in San Diego later this week. Noting the D2DVD will be one of three "adult-oriented DC projects," the Times noted neither Wonder Woman nor Lois Lane made the…
When I first moved into my new home it seemed like every single day for a month I received a sales call from a mortgage company. They always asked for a Mr. Fong. When the calls first started I told them politely that I was not Mr. Fong and asked to be put on the…
Warner Bros. Consumer Products has awarded Mattel, Inc., the master toy license for the complete DC Comics Universe of characters and properties. In addition to the rights to existing DC Comics characters/animation/movies, the multi-year pact provides Mattel with the rights to produce toys based on future DC Universe film and animation projects that are developed…
Just in time to butter up good ol’ Mom, the Big ComicMix Weekend Broadcast is here – and the debut of our Secrets Behind The Comics feature – we take a look at the guy in charge of making Catwoman and Wonder Woman look their best, plus news on how you can write your own…
I like continuity. Always have, always will. It enriches serialized fiction as found in pulp magazines, comic books, movies and television. In an ideal world, things would be consistent from the beginning of any new creation, but it rarely is. Johnston McCulley altered his own reality after one Zorro novel because he decided more people…
