Beware the Batman, coming in 2013, features weirdly angular computer-animated artwork, plus a gun-toting Alfred. And instead of Robin, Batman's sidekick will be Katana, the female ninja from the Outsiders.

The good news is, it's executive produced by Batman Beyond's Glen Murakami. More »

We're definitely jazzed about the prospect of a Blue Beetle TV series, but history gives reason to tamp down our optimism for a second-tier DC hero show. In 2006, this rad Plastic Man TV pilot was rejected by Cartoon Network. More »

I was pretty much bowled over by last week's first episode of Batman: The Brave and The Bold, with its pop-art combination of fun, action and villains with cosmic-powered gongs for weapons, but this pic from Friday's second episode promises that even better is to come. Yes, that's Batman turned into an ape, ready for action beside Plastic Man. And if you need more evidence of the show's greatness, look below for a second picture of awesome. More »

Instead of throwing yet another superhero movie on the fire, Hollywood has pulled the reins back on the live adaption of the bendiest superhero, Plastic Man.

Rumors are churning that the Wachowski Brothers are itching to make a movie based on the adventures of Plastic Man, starring their favorite Hollywood hero Keanu Reeves. Am I the only one confused by this match up? Plastic Man was practically the definition of body humor, and slapstick comedy isn't really in Reeves' wheelhouse. I actually can't think of the last time Reeves made anyone laugh on purpose. This is a terrible match. We've got a list of who we think would actually do a good job playing the bendy superhero.
