Monday Morning Commute: Flower Moon Horizon
Thank the Maker – April’s almost over! Here in New England, winters are absolutely brutal and I’m pretty sure that this last one has been the bleakest of my life. As such, April seemed like it’d be a great reprieve but it’s proven to be a fickle bitch – cold and rainy with just enough sunshine to keep the razor from my wrist. But once May hits the winter coats are traded for hooded sweatshirts and smiles are abound.
It’s true – scientists say so.
To get us through this final week of National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, let’s hop into the Monday Morning Commute – the shining piercing on the tip of the dong that is the workweek. I’m going to run you through the highlights of the upcoming seven days, and then you can do the same. It’s internet-buddy show-and-tell at its best. Or worst. You decide.
Let’s do this.

Hopefully the mayhem and the energy needed to get this out will translate onto the big screen.

‘Green Lantern’ Movie Gets Two Character Posters.
My excitement for the Green Lantern went up a good deal after witnessing the footage from Wondercon. I ain’t dumb enough to deny that it may be simply the product of a well-cut trailer, corralling the dopest contents of the movie into four minutes.
But let me be excited!
Today, two character posters for the movie were released on the movie’s Facebook page.
Thor’s Post-Credit Scene Reveals Villain of ‘The Avengers’ Flick. Maybe.
Ah, the soon to be officially ciché Marvel movies post-credits scene. Yep. Just stick Samuel Jackson in some shitty forty-second scene in with something leading up to the Avengers flick. They’ve been doing it for three years, there isn’t any reason to stop now. Apparently, purportedly, the post-credits scene in Thor tips off the villain for The Avengers.

Variant Covers: One Uncanny Comic To Rule Them All!
This is Variant Covers! Every week I humbly show you the titles that I’m excited for on Wednesday, and I ask you to kindly splay yours out in front of me.

Oh sure, there’s a list of titles that I’ll be buying, and probably even enjoying. Nothing that’s really getting my fires burning though. So indulge me, let’s play a game this week. You can buy one title this week. What is it? No fucking cheesing! One title to stem your tide until next week.
‘Thor’ and ‘Captain America’ Sequels Confirmed! Plus Other Marvel Movie News.
I have a good amount of anxiety regarding the superhero flick during and after the 2012 release schedule. In my fair estimation, we’re going to be fucking fatigued with the whole enterprise. More so than we are now. However, Marvel doesn’t share my concern. Marvel Studios president Kevin Fergie recently spoke about the sequels to their unreleased Cap and Thor movies, and more.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard’s Roles In ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Announced!
Warner Bros. has gone up and announced the roles that JGL and Marion Cotillard will be playing in “The Dark Knight Rises.” Either all the rumors have been very, very wrong, or there will be some double identities afoot. Which would make sense, given, you know, the universe.
Hit the jump for the spoilers.
Bryan Singer Cops To ‘Superman Returns’ Sucking. Sort Of.
I thought that ‘Superman Returns’ sucked. I thought it was bogged down with an insistence to paying homage instead of carving its own identity, typical existential ennui bullshit Singer loves, and the need to give (Jesus Christ,why?) Superman a kid.
All these years later, Bryan Singer sort of agrees.
