TOP TEN

2013 END OF YEAR SPECIAL

Okay, I realise this weeks "Hot Tuesday" is a little earlier than normal, but that has to do with the fact that it would've fallen on Christmas Eve and, well, y'know. Anyway, here is a special edition which runs down the Top Ten women to have graced "Hot Tuesday" in 2013.

"You're blowing my mind, Lok"

It has been 20 (!) years since one of the finest Batman movies -- Batman: Mask of the Phantasm -- was released. To celebrate this anniversary, Mondo has unveiled two posters for this animated classic. Hit the jump to check them out.

Hit the jump to check out the new The Amazing Spider-Man 2 UK trailer and the one-sheet released by Sony for the flick.

A CHRISTMAS

OF COVERS

2014 is just few weeks away and we already have a lot to look forward to come the new year. But today Cartoon Brew are reporting that we can also look forward to the return of the brilliant Powerpuff Girls in a one-off special this January.

Personally, I love them both equally and cannot wait for this flick to hit the cinematorium and then on bluray.

The year is coming to the end and it has been another bumper year for superhero movies. So, in the grand tradition of year end reviews, here is how I rated the superhero movies of the year.

Yup, 'tis the season when chestnuts roast and Jack Frost is nipping. So there is, naturally, no better time than to check out the pick of the covers for DC's March solicitations.

If you have not seen last nights episode of Arrow: WARNING - TURN AWAY NOW!

Okay, you've been warned...

The problem I had with Tennant's Doctor is that they made the regeneration into an event (and the story, in my opinion, suffered) but that doesn't seems to be the case here. We know there'll be a regeneration but this just seems like the final chapter of the story of Matt Smith's Doctor.

I'll be sorry to Matt Smith go, he was easily my favourite of the NuWho Doctors. I look forward to seeing what Peter Capaldi does with everyones favourite Time Lord though.

Jock, Superman and the Joker can only mean awesome.

THOUGHTS ON

With the Man of Steel being released on DVD/Bluray this week over here in the UK, it is time for me to look back over the film and reassess my thoughts on the same.

WARNING: SPOILERS!

Okay, the whole shark genre may have run its course but it is definitely going out with a bang:

"To fight sharks, we created sharks"

According to Bleeding Cool DC Entertainment's big news for 2014 is going to be the announcement of a series of lower prominence comic books being turned in relatively lower budget (between $20m and $40m budgets, apparently) films.

Although their bread and butter is primarily superheroes, DC have an advantage over Marvel in that they have a more diverse set of titles that can fit into different film genres more easily that the House of the Mouse Ideas so that they are not reliant on adaptations of their cape and spandex crowd.

So, hit the jump to check out my picks from the DC catalogue ripe for a big screen adaptation.

ThinkMcFlyThink.com has, somehow, managed to obtain a still from screen test footage of Henry Cavill auditioning for the never made JJ Abrams/McG Superman: Flyby.

I've never really known what I wanted to do with my life. The "career" I am in now was definitely not on the list growing up, when I fancied being a writer. Well, this is not strictly true. I have always wanted to play The Doctor. I have no inclination to want to be an actor. None at all, not even of the am dram variety. That is unless I get to perform as The Doctor.

Ten years ago saw the first part in the 4 issue JLA/Avengers crossover.

Sadly, this was the last time DC and Marvel crossed over. Now, I'm not a huge Marvel fan but I do miss picking up the occasional one shot where Batman would meet Spider-Man or Superman would chill with the Hulk. Unfortunately this means no Shazam/Captain Marvel or Wonder Woman/Thor or Captain Britain meeting Knight and Squire...

AH, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN

Been a while since I've done one of these. But after reading the ever reliably good Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed over at CBR I felt compelled too. If only to share the wonderful art that follows.
