I quite liked the last issue of Secret Six. Very appropriate as a send-off to the series. (Well, more like Secret Eight or so, since Knockout and King Shark were there as well.) The Six (+2) going all Butch and Sundance against a veritable army of heroes? Very yes, thank you.

Not so thrilled with the last issue of Booster Gold, even if it did mostly tie up loose ends and reflect the forthcoming post-Flashpoint timeline. Sort of. At least Jurgens is going to be writing Booster in JLI.

Somehow I like the idea the article suggests of working Jessica Jones into an episode.

That, or they're trying to be sneaky about how Nathan Fillion is playing Hank Pym in the Avengers movie next year...

For some reason, I picture Cree Summer as the voice of Pumyra in the new series.

Then I just now realized it would essentially be a reunion of Terry and Max from Batman Beyond. Thus, it must be made so!

Not sure who would voice Bengali, though...

If they actually pull it off, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing a Starjammers movie as well. Or maybe the Silver Surfer movie will finally see the light of day.

Which version, though? I know the cartoon is going to have the recent incarnation with Star Lord and Rocket Racoon. The movie could go with that as well, or they could go back to the classic comics lineup set in the future.

I didn't see Talia anywhere. I saw Miranda Tate, according to the blurb at the bottom of the photo.

This might not necessarily be her final costume, either. Remember in Batman Begins when Bruce was running around in the capeless suit and a ski mask at first?

For me, the drama of Superman isn't really a question of whether a villain is strong enough to beat him. It's his concern for all the other people who aren't invulnerable. Not the risk of defeat, but the risk of failure.

That said, it is really fun whenever he comes up against a foe who actually can give him a run for his money power-wise.

I'm still wondering if we'll be seeing any more of his helmet in this one.

I don't think Frank Miller had anything to do with this... unless I'm wrong?

I'd say the bigger enemies he's had to deal with over the last decade or so have been familiar faces: Lex Luthor (of course), Brainiac, General Zod...

Beyond that, there's always the odd lesser foe or natural disaster/socio-political issue that crops up.

As another poster said, I think the best Superman story I've read in quite a while was "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way?" Which was technically just one issue, though the new characters from that story did pop up again later on in Supes' own titles and JLA. The Elite were pretty much a shameless riff on the Authority from Wildstorm.

I'm mildly concerned by the assumption that they need to make the sequel "edgier and darker, with more focus on action." If by that they mean a solid chunk of the sequel will focus on a depowered Hal on the run through the streets of Korugar ducking Sinestro and trying to fight his way back to his power battery to recharge his ring, I can get behind that. But Green Lantern should not turn into "Batman with a power ring." They need to more fully embrace the fantastical elements of the character and the setting. The further the sequel stays away from Earth, the better, in my opinion.

While we're on the subject, who else wants to see Keira Knightly cast as Katma Tui?

Major point in this movie's favor already: no big, glowing button on his chest for Venom injections. Or rubbery green skin. *shudder*

I just keep thinking of Spoony's review of the sequel, "Death Too Soon," when Cap confronts Christopher Lee's character...

"You did not seriously think that an Avenger could contend with the will of Sauron? There are none who can."

And I'm going to guess the woman standing between Fury and Coulson is gonna turn out to be Maria Hill. Marvel's favorite hero-hating government stooge since Henry Peter Gyrich.

Well, it's a more impressive vision of the Helicarrier than the one they came up with for the Nick Fury TV movie with David Hasselhoff.

I have to wonder about the Thor poster, though. From what I saw in the teaser after Captain America, it looks like Thor might be going sleeveless for a goodly portion of the film, a la The Ultimates or (judging by his cape still being present) his classic costume.

Seriously? A Captain Planet movie???

One can only hope he doesn't have a mullet this time out.

I suspect the OP is asking about the Hulk as portrayed in the Avengers animated series. I seem to recall a bit in the second part of the Breakout episode where Hulk and Banner have a conversation in their shared headspace, Bruce trying to convince the Hulk to help the other heroes in New York. Hulk agrees, on the condition that Banner "goes away" and he gets to stay the Hulk without changing back.

After that, yeah, it's more or less just a matter of the other Avengers treating him pretty decently and providing him with plenty of stuff to SMASH!
