The FlashPoint Build Continues: Give us your thoughts!

The week ended in a very cool way with some awesome previews of FlashPoint on the Source. This is an event that has gotten me more excited over time. Initially, I had no idea it would be so far reaching. I assumed it would be just a Flash Family story.

The more I am seeing though, the more I want to dive deep into this changing world. I am curious to see if any of the characters from the event make it back to our continuity. My excitement and interest is growing. How do you feel?

Check out some of the previews below Continue reading The FlashPoint Build Continues: Give us your thoughts!

Batman Live Storyline Announced!

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2011/03/02/batman-live-storyline-announced/

I had no idea this show was being produced. I know the Spider-man show has had it’s share of mishaps. I truly hope they get worked out because I like the idea that comic properties are taking a “swing” at a variety of mediums. (Yes, I am even groaning at my poor joke, lol.)

As a kid, I remember Sea World having the various DC Comics characters in a water show. I am hoping this winds up being well produced because I would be very excited to see a Batman performance live on stage.  Your thoughts?

Martha Kent cast!!! Superman movie news!

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2011/03/02/diane-lane-cast-as-martha-kent-in-warner-bros-pictures%e2%80%99-and-legendary-pictures%e2%80%99-new-superman-movie/
I am thrilled with this announcement. I think Diane Lane is an amazing actress. She can pull of the compassionate side of Martha Kent while keeping her the strong character that we all know her to be. I am glad more announcements are coming out. I am quickly going from “worried” about the film (Although I wasn’t really worried, it was just that geeky part of me that wants it to be great) to excited and hopeful! How are you feeling?
