Adrianne Palicki Cast As Wonder Woman. This TV Show Now Feels Real.
Adrianne Palicki has been cast as Wonder Woman for the forthcoming NBC series. All of a sudden it actually feels like the show is real. I mean sure there was a script for the pilot and everything, but fuck, this is actually happening. Well then. I don’t know Palicki’s work, but according to my powers of reading, she was in everyone’s favorite television show, Friday Night Lights. I realize I fail because I haven’t seen that show (yet), but here’s hoping she’s astounding in it.
Is she? Anyone with thoughts?
Fan Film, “Wolverine Vs The Hand” Is Pure Logan Porn.
Gary Shore has gone and done something unexpected. He’s turned Wolverine slicing and dicing his way through a legion of Hand ninjas into something beautiful. In this video, Shore conjures up a fan trailer for the second Wolverine movie, and it’s pretty fucking stunning.

Matthew Vaughn Adapting Comic Book, “The Golden Age”; Wants Clint Eastwood In It.
Matthew Vaughn is adapting the comic book “The Golden Age” by Jonathan Ross and Tommy Lee Edwards, and he wants some fucking starpower to do it. The comic book is about a group of retired superheroes who have to once again don the cloak to help out their grandkids when their own children fuck up the world, and Vaughn wants some big boppers to fill the roles. Atop his wishlist are “Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, and Warren Beatty.”
To dream!
Thoughts? Me? Meh. I’ve seen this concept done to death in the funny books themselves, and Watchmen already took a cinematic dump on the motif.
Super Harmony! Superhero Online Dating Service FTW.
This video imagines what it would be like if you could use a dating service to hook-up with superheroes. I know what you’re thinking, fucking lame. Naw son! Or daughter. The video actually delivers. On an ancillary note, who would you make a rush for, if this shit existed?
I’m all about latex, so I’m thinking Black Widow. Or Sharon Carter.

New Arkham City Screens! The Joker and Cleavage!
Every batch of Arkham City screens features at least one image pimping some glorious cleavage or latex bound babe. This is crop is no exception, and I think we all know how pleased I am with it. Oh yeah, the Joker is in it too.

Source: Zack Snyder’s Superman Already Sucks.
I already have my reservations about Frat Boy Rock’s Superman, and there’s news coming out of the Grand Motion Machinery that’s only fueling them fears. Snyder was thought to be helming up the 300 sequel Xerxes, but he’s been pushed off of it in favor of Guy Ritchie. The reports are that he’s getting pushed off for two reasons; Sucker Punch ain’t tracking well, and more salient to this column, Superman needs all his attention.
Brian Wood’s DMZ Makes My Tits Hard.
I figured I’d throw together a couple unintelligent sentences regarding Brian Wood’s DMZ. I’ve been burning through the trade paperbacks in an effort to catch the conclusion as it drops onto stands this year. It’s been an addictive rush through a crumbling reality for the main protagonist. But no less addictive. Wood gives the world Matty Roth, and like a variety of other main protagonists I’ve fallen in love with, the dude is immensely flawed. Starting off as a young idealistic journalist thrust in way over his head, I’ve been given the privilege of watching him make one poor decision after the next.
Brian Wood doesn’t fucking flinch.
Is This The First Set Shot From The Dark Knight Rises?
[Note: I wrote this up last night, thought it was too sensationalist, and then discarded it. But then legit places starting pimping it, and if they do, why shouldn’t hits-needy places like OL be a whore as well? Lesson learned: always be a whore.]
Fair warning: The Brother Omega have a aching purple priapism for the forthcoming third Batman flick by Christopher Nolan. It rages within our collective pants, beating against the confines of cotton and denim and zippers. So if you can’t hang with that, you’re going to be doing a lot of scrolling in the next fifteen months or so.
I’m going to be fapping over everything. Like this: a purported first set shot from the film. Shit doesn’t even have to be confirmed for me to get excited about it. This possibly, maybe, could be, a set picture. The elaboration on the origination of this possible picture comes from Nolan Fans:
A photo popped up on the JoBlo forums today of what appears to be the set for Arkham Asylum in The Dark Knight Rises. The poster says, “my good mate who is working on set at cardington where it’s being shot sent me this.” Not quite sure how legit this is, but we’re figured it’s worth a share. Perhaps it’s just a left over set from Batman Begins?

Rumor: Dude Behind “Eagle Eye” To Direct Preacher? Saint of Killers Save Us.
Preacher is a monolith which shouldn’t be touched in various other mediums. Talk of attempting to adapt it into anything, especially a film, is an adequate way to have me doubling my daily prescribed intake of antipsychotics. The current news about who may be directing it is just increasing this anxiety within the rattled halls of my rotting brainstem.
Currently rumored? The fucking guy who directed Eagle Eye, DJ Caruso.
