Supes - In GL Too?


Today is the day Superman might get a real comeback by forcing himself upon everyone who loves comics.

See here to learn all about the incredibly juicy information on the lawsuit with DC and Warner Brothers against the heirs of Jerry Siegel. Here's a bit to whet your Superman-loving appetite.

"The judge, who conducted a 10-day bench trial, also noted that Warner Bros. chairman Alan Horn had testified that he hopes to make another “Superman" movie but added that the property wasn’t under development at the studio, that no script had been written and that the earliest another “Superman” pic could be released would be in 2012."


Have at it!

Green Lantern Troubles?


According to Inside Film, The Green Lantern shoot, which is to be held in Australia, might be on hold for now! And it's all due to production costs!

"Warner Bros is understood to be negotiating with the NSW State Government to receive a higher level of concessions in an effort to claw back between $US15 and $US25 million in value eroded by the currency gains."


Yet, according to Slashfilm.com, the movie will be shooting in part around New Orleans. As long as it gets done, I say!

Ryan Reynolds will be playing the part of Hal Jordan, the most well-known (yes, I am aware that this point can be argued) Green Lantern.

JSA Classified #15 - A Game of Chance?


Not sure if this is new or not, but I'm putting it under that because I just got it.

I don't follow the JSA. Actually, I don't think any of us here at Haphazard Heroines follows them. Sure, there are some great characters, but why read JSA when you can have JLA?

My thinking exactly.

I liked this issue. It was comprehensive with several issues being cleared up at one time. We see Gypsy forced out of her body, Wildcat acting with no morals and showing how good he really is, and some insecurities of both Stargirl and Vixen. And even some anxious Green Lantern stuff.

It wasn't good though. There wasn't much flexibility, but they couldn't really go anywhere, being under mind control and all. It's not particuralry thrilling or anything, but I liked the characters and how they were portrayed.

No review for this one, just a statement that it was enjoyable but I probably wouldn't read it again.

3/5.

Blackest Night #2


Definitely better than the first issue.

Bleez (the vampiric Red Lantern) got a spotlight in this one and it was very entertaining. She was a princess and nice person that was changed when she was captured by the Sinestro Corps and tortured at their hands.

It was actually kind of depressing.

I was most interested, though, in the story of Carol Ferris (Star Sapphire) as she was inducted back into the Star Sapphires. I haven't really read Green Lantern for a while, so the look back on her love life was nice. Great art, by the way. Much better than the last issue. Gene Ha and Pete Pantazis did a fabulous job (maybe not their best ever, but I thoroughly enjoyed it).

The finaly tale was about Blume, this kind of member of the Orange Lanterns (he eats the most prized posessions of worlds...).

The issue was a bit predictable, but all in all, better than issue #1. Keep up the good work!

P.s. Yes, there were some other stories and thing,s but Kiliwog has never interested me.

Green Lantern Movie to Come Out in 2011


32-year old Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds (The Proposal; Definitely, Maybe) has been cast in the new Green Lantern movie, to play the main role, which is Hal Jordan, not Kyle Rayner. He beat out Justin Timberlake and Bradley Cooper (thank the lord!). The movie is scheduled to start production in January. He better give Hal some respect. The director of Casino Royale is going to be doing it. His name's Martin Campbell. Ryan has some experience in comic films. He was in the not-so-following-storyline movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine as everyone's favorite mercenary, Deadpool, and he is supposed to get a Deadpool movie as well. He's even been in talks about starring in the DC Comics spin-off (rip-off) on "The Flash", one of the most recognizable faces in comics.
"I'm such a huge fan of the character. I get to be the authentication police, in a weird way," Reynolds told MTV News about the upcoming "Deadpool" movie"
Well, good luck. It better not suck or hundreds of DC lovers will attack and be very angry.

Plus, there have been bad Green Lanterns before.
