Cutline: Visitors dressed as DC Comics’ (L to R) Hourman, Atom and Flash walk during the 40th annual Comic Con Convention in San Diego July 24, 2009. The convention runs from July 23 to July 26.

They forgot Dr. Mid-Nite, standing directly behind the Atom.

These geezers look like they can stick kick ass.

Behold thew glory of this unauthorized Batman movie from the Philippines:

I still prefer it to anything Joel Schumacher made.

Hat tip: FARK.

From SuperHeroHype:

Warner Bros. Pictures has hired X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Proposal star Ryan Reynolds to play the title role in the anticipated Green Lantern, scheduled for a June 17, 2011 release.

Based on the DC Comics hero, the action-adventure will be directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, GoldenEye) and produced by Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti. Berlanti wrote the script with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green.

The Hollywood trades say that Reynolds and his camp entered negotiations for the part Friday, after the studio held two rounds of screen tests, along with actors Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto. Justin Timberlake also did a screen test. The studio had holding options on the actors, but, except for Reynolds, those expired Monday. Reynolds’ option would have expired end of day Friday.

Not at all what I expected. I would assume that the role would go to a stalwart hero type. Not a slacker-something smart alec type.

But then, he’s studly enough to keep a fine piece like Scarlet Johansson happy, so who am I to judge.

And since Scarlett is playing Marvel character Black Widow in the next Iron Man flick, isn’t theirs a mixed marriage?

Hat tip to commenter Dr. Thompson.

I bet he still has the suit:

Even when accompanied by the crappiest YourTube animation ever, the theme from the original Spiderman cartoon is a classic:

Oh, that’s not ME saying this:

The man in question: DC Comics editor Matt Idleson. The pronouncement he issued was just eight words long, but such is its paradigm-shattering power that it will surely stand one day in the annals of comic book history, alongside “With great power comes great responsibility,” “Truth, Justice and the American Way,” and “Shazam!”

Thus spake Idleson:

“I never want to see Supergirl’s panties again.”

And with that, the character of Supergirl — in a stark departure from many years of institutionalized cheesecakery — started wearing red shorts under her skirt.

Meanwhile, over at the comic “Powergirl,” DC Comics is putting on big boob/bondage/tentacle porn fest:

Seriously. Go look at issue No. 3. It would make Irving Klaw blush.
