Russell Crowe To Play Jor-El In ‘Man Of Steel?’ One Cast To Rule Them All.
Russell Crowe is in talks to play Jor-El. If he lands the gig, this movie may fucking rock in spite of Zack Snyder directing it. A cast so filthy is has to be a great movie. Right? Right?

Grant Morrison On The DC Reboot and Action Comics #1.
Here’s the gorgeous Scottish writer talking about what the DC reboot means to him. You also get to hear him call Superman the greatest creation ever in the history of human thought. Okay, not something crazy, but pretty close.
‘Django Unchained’ Gets A Release Date. It’s A Christmas Flick!
When I think Christmas tales, I think of revenge flicks taking place on slave plantations across the south. Thankfully The Weinstein Company agrees with me.
PR Guy: Negative Duke Nukem Reviews Could Lead To Blacklist! Dude Fired.
Duke Nukem Forever came out this week. It sucks. Reviewers expressed such sentiments, and then Jim Redner of the Render Group got all butthurt and said such reviews would impact who gets to review a game next time.
Chinese Dude Makes Ridiculously Swank Homemade Iron Man Suit.
Wang XiaoKang is clearly the most pimp of Iron Man fans. By day he is a Chinese Telecom worker. By afternoon, or evening, or sometime he is the builder of an absolutely gorgeous Iron Man Mark I movie armor.
Want to see him lumbering about in it? Of course you do.
Variant Covers: Giant Lizards, Vikings, and Damn Canadians.
I hope everyone is safely buckled into their seats. We are riding the Wayback Machine, as the comic book landscape is desperately trying to scramble back to the 1990’s. DC is relaunching their brand. Marvel is ending Uncanny X-Men. Greg Capullo is drawing Batman. Joey Mads is drawing Spider-Man. Everything is seemingly returning to how it once was. A nostalgic attempt to recreate the magic and sales of a time before the internet, or digital sales, or all the naughty things mucking up the landscape.
What can we do though? Nothing. We continue buying the comic books. We kvetch. We moan. But we buy. That’s where this column comes in. Variant Covers. The watering hole that we all gather around. I tell you the titles I’m sweating this week, and you share yours. Communal. A group therapy session. My arms are open, my armpits are sweaty. I will hold you.
‘Wii U’ Graphics Chip Is Last-Gen Radeon, Stronger Than PS3 and Xbox 360.
I don’t know much about graphics cards. Even with that, I’m always interested in HOW POWAH-FUL a new console is going to be. So when details regarding the ‘Wii U’ graphics chip comes out, I nod my head and pretend to understand whatever the fuck it means.
Nod! Smile! Repeat!
Rumor: Jamie Foxx Is Tops For ‘Django Unchained’ Lead, DiCaprio Definitely In.
There is some super-news-rumor time today regarding the next Tarantino flick. While it was thought that Will Smith may be the male lead in the movie, new news has cropped up. It’s Jamie Foxx time! Oh shit. I was talked into liking Smith in the role, but I definitely love the idea of Foxx. Also and just as exciting is the report that DiCaprio is ‘definitely signed.’
‘The Avengers’ Promotional Poster Is As Bad As Expected. [Updated]
[Updated Updated: See the suck in even higher high-res. Thanks Daniel Heard!.]
I love promotional posters. Especially ones for shitty things like the International Licensing Expo. That’s where this beast was spotted in the wild. What should we take from this poster? Nothing. Nothing save some laughs.

Check Out The Suicide Plunge Of A Comet Into The Sun. Cowards Way!
NASA’s SOHO satellite caught a gorgeous video of a comet’s suicide plunge into the Sun. No comet, no! There’s beauties worth living for in this universe. Especially for a lucky little thing like you, non-sentient but blessed with being able to zip around space.
