Return of Bruce Wayne

Well it was only a matter of time. He has been gone since the end of Crisis and I must admit I expected it to be a lot longer before he returned. What will happen to the cowl? Will he take it back? Will Dick continue in his role? Grant Morrison is on board so it has gotta be good. Some pics:

Green Hornet

Kevin Smith has had a bit of a love affair with this character and now we are going to see his blood sweat and tears come in the form of a comic. He was originally attempting to put together the script for a movie version, which never happened. I expect that a lot of those ideas are now in the comic. It looks cool, with Alex Ross covers. More to come.

Brightest Day

The event after Blackest Night. I love the cover, but I hope there aren't so many tie ins as there were in Blackest Night, because I am lost. The art does look cool though - it appears that the main character will be Arthur Curry.

Finally.

It was early last year when this first hit shelves. Originally a 5 parter, now a 6 parter and the last issue out 'after' the Blackest Night tie in. Not great timing. But it has been pretty cool, so I'll let DC off on this occasion.

Promotions at DC

So some key changes at DC

Jim Lee and Dan DiDio will be Co-Publishers of DC Comics.
Geoff Johns will be Chief Creative Officer.
John Rood will be EVP, Sales, Marketing and Business Development.
Patrick Caldon will be EVP, Finance and Administration.

What will this mean for the future of DC? Jim and Geoff are two of my favourite people in the comics industry - does this mean we will see less of them? I hope not.

However, well done guys.

Batman 3 rumours

ComicVine reported on some Batman 3 movie rumours. Arkham Asylum is being banded about as a possible venue and the Riddler may well be the main villain. I think whatever they do, it is going to be incredibly difficult to follow the previous two movies.

Kick Ass

There are a lot of clips and teasers kicking around online of the upcoming Kick Ass movie. I have to say it looks like a lot of fun. A lot of action, much blood, a hell of a lot of swearing and what looks like a lot of comedy. I haven't read the original comic run but will definitely be getting it in trade before watching the movie. Mark Millar has always been a favourite of mine, so I hope the film does well.

Mr Millar has also been commented on for his thoughts on the Superman franchise (again). I would definitely be keen to see what he would come up with but I am not convinced on a whole re=telling again - right from the beginning. We know what happens - we know the origin story. What we need is a bad-ass superman story where we see him up against similarly powerful characters in a predominantly human world.
