Marvel Studios Can Make a Daredevil Movie Now – But Not an Elektra One?

by Susana Polo | 11:41 am, August 15th, 2012

One of the biggest questions about the continued future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (currently populated by the members of the Avengers and a tiny smattering of superheroic characters that make up their supporting casts) is when properties that were licensed out exclusively to other movie studios will be returning to Marvel ownership, or indeed, if they will be returning at all. I’ll leave the discussion of the details of these licensing agreements to below the cut, for those who aren’t familiar, but here’s the main surprise of the day:

Fox Studios has decided not to rush a Daredevil movie into production between now and October 10th, and instead are allowing the movie rights to the Man Without Fear to revert to Marvel Studios.

Jessica Alba Felt Objectified And Uncomfortable During Her Dark Angel Days, Will Star In Sin City 2

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:44 pm, May 17th, 2012

I had a show that premiered when I was 19 and right away, everyone formed a strong opinion about me because of the way I was marketed. I was supposed to be sexy, this tough action girl. That’s what people expected…I felt like I was being objectified, and it made me uncomfortable. I wanted to be chic and elegant!” - Jessica Alba speaking to Marie Claire magazine on her time acting in the Fox television show Dark Angel.

It’s a very interesting statement for an actress like Alba to make. She’s certainly gone on to make other films where she was marketed in a sexual manner and objectified in the role, but as a young women, it wasn’t something she was ok with. ”Now that I’m older, I’ve learned how to own it, but I’m still not very overt,” she continued.

Grant Morrison Says His 2012 Wonder Woman Series “Needs Sex”

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:22 pm, October 18th, 2011

Wonder Woman has been connected to sex and fetishism since she was first introduced by William Moulton Marston in 1941. Many creators have taken on the Amazon since then and have addressed those aspects of her creation to varying degrees. Well after this appearance at the Edinburgh International Book Festival recently, author Grant Morrison let us know that for his looming Wonder Woman series he won’t be shying away from Wonder Woman’s sexuality and the implications of bondage have for the famous character.

DC Hires Ann Nocenti for the New 52′s Green Arrow

by Susana Polo | 10:29 am, October 14th, 2011

DC pledged that they’d be bringing more female artists and writers into the New 52, and they’ve made a very strong first step this week, when they announced that Ann Nocenti will be taking over the writer’s chair on Green Arrow starting in March.

Nocenti has an incredible record in comics, making her debut by taking over Daredevil from Frank Miller in 1987, a title which not only made his name as a young comics artist to watch but also made the Man Without Fear one of Marvel’s more popular characters. Despite the tough act to follow, Nocenti’s run remained just as popular as Miler’s. Her original character Typhoid Mary remains involved Daredevil canon to this day.

Holy Joel Schumacher Had Another Batman Movie In The Works, Batman!

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:39 pm, October 5th, 2011

I’ll admit, I actually take enjoyment from Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. Not the same kind I take from Tim Burton’s Batman films or the Christopher Nolan ones but enjoyment nonetheless. But even I cannot handle this news. Joel Schumacher, director of the most hated Batman movies of all time, has revealed he had another in the works called Batman: Triumphant. And it was going to star Nicolas Cage. BRB, I feel compelled to shower.

Original Art From The Dark Knight Returns Becomes Most Expensive Page of Comic Art Ever

by Susana Polo | 4:22 pm, May 6th, 2011

Entire issues of comics have broken the $1 million mark in private auctions within the last couple years, but the money involved in the buying and selling of original comic art is somewhat less lucrative. But that didn’t keep this page from The Dark Knight Returns from setting a new record for the going price of a piece of original American comic artwork this week.
