Spider-Man 3 costume
I’m five days late on the black Spider-Man costume in Spidey 3 issue. I haven’t even seen it until today. Thanks to Neal and Chris (neither of whom posted here about this major story; what’s up with that, guys?) for getting me a link when I finally had to ask for help in finding it.

Alan Kistler’s Profile On: GREEN LANTERN – Finale
Let’s review what’s happened recently. Alan Scott altered his costume, realized his power was internalized, was de-aged to be in his mid-twenties and decided on the new name of "SENTINEL." Hal Jordan went mad with grief, renamed himself Parallax, and decided to do nothing less than remake the universe, an interesting attitude when you consider …

It’s up, it’s updated and it’s on sale!

Don Knotts dies at age 81
One of my favorite character actors, Don Knotts, passed away today. I know people don’t live forever, but in Don’s case I wouldn’t have minded if the heavens had made an exception.

“Olympics without the U.S.S.R. is like Batman without the Joker”
One of my favorite quotes from the Bob and Brian podcast.

If you just want to listen to the podcast bits in MP3 …

All right. We’ve spoken of Alan Scott, the first to be known to us as the Green Lantern. He worked mostly in Gotham during the 1940s and eventually became the owner of the Gotham Broadcasting Company (or the GBC). His ring was magic and his major weakness was anything made of wood. He was married …

Did DC Direct just spoil the ending of Infinite Crisis?
Reader Don Smith just e-mailed me regarding one of the toys recently unveiled by DC Direct, and oddly enough he asked me a question that I had asked myself when I first saw it yesterday. At first, I wasn’t going to post about it because I thought it was just my imagination, but Don’s message …

Batman has been recast for sequel
Warner Brothers has decided that the Batman Begins movie, while performing well with teens and adults, was just too seriously scary and adult for kids. Casting for a new actor, they have settled on one who will be more appealing for all ages. I’m being vague here to avoid spoilers. The identity of the new …
