Marvel's Avengers team-up film is generating mega-buzz, but DC has no plans to follow suit with the Justice League, Geoff Johns told NYCC. Because DC's characters are "bigger than Marvel's." He'd rather build them up separately than "smashing them together." Also, someone asked Johns about the possibility of a Flash movie, and he started to say something — but then editor Eddie Berganza stopped him. So Johns just said, "Flash, that'd be cool" instead.

DC's hyper-successful Blackest Night series will, we know now, be followed by a year-long series/event called Brightest Day. But is this really DC's answer to Marvel's "Heroic Age" era of optimism, or should we expect something more ambitious? More »

Never mind ripping off Cloverfield, the emergence of future Superman murderer Doomsday or the last-minute reappearance of a long-lost villain; the best moment of last Thursday's Smallville came in the promo for what's coming up on the show when it returns in January next year. Why? Because it gave us our first chance to see the show's take on the Legion of Super-Heroes, and we never could resist teenage superheroes from the future. More »

It was the moment where a million fanboys cheered - I know, that I was one of them - but does Superman The Movie director Richard Donner publicly stating that the Superman movie franchise should be handed over to Action Comics writer (and former assistant to Donner) Geoff Johns actually mean that anything will change for the seemingly-permanently stalled Superman movie franchise?

The Green Lantern Corps is fighting a fierce war against the evil Sinestro Corps — and it's taking a toll on their tight spandex uniforms. In last week's issue of Green Lantern Corps, the evil followers of Sinestro totally shred the costume of the studly Sodam Yat. The result is exactly the sort of porno image that comics usually lavish on female heroes. (Click on the cut-off thumbnail for the full-length image.) And, as blogger Rachelle Goguen points out: More »
