Legal troubles threaten to divide Superman franchise...

This is both old and new news to hear about, and it will certainly affect the future of Superman in a big way.

As was reported by Variety, Slash Film, and Screen Rant, the ongoing legal battle between DC Comics and the estates of Superman's creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, may reach a point where both parties may have to split and retain certain rights and key elements to the character. What that basically means is that if things do not work out and both parties do not mutually agree to something, we may see the division of Superman entirely. He won't be wearing the iconic red, blue, and yellow costume everyone knew and grew up with due to copyright issues, and his origins may have to be changed somewhat, at least in the case of DC Universe that is. The phrase "Leaping Tall Buildings In A Single Bound" was coined by the creators, so that will go along with the costume baggage should a separation take place.

In essence, if all of this comes to pass where the respective rights revert back to their creators in 2013 (a year after Zack Snyder's Superman movie "Man of Steel" shows) we may see the birth of two distinctly different versions of "Superman". The Siegel and Shuster's estates own pretty much what makes up the original Superman when he debuted in the pages of Action Comics in 1938. DC still owns international rights, flying, and the villains attached to the character, so there may not be any obvious changes for the modern incarnation at least. However, anything new conjured up will set up grounds for another case again, and it limits both parties from exploring the alter ego of Kal-El/ Clark Kent in many other ways.

Rest In Peace, Macho Man...

Already feeling dismayed and jaded after coming from a somewhat disappointing screening of "Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides", I learn of the unfortunate passing of a legendary wrestling icon overseas... Arguably one of the BEST known personalities in the business if I do say so myself.

It comes with a heavy heart to share the news that Randall Mario Poffo, better known to the world as "Macho Man Randy Savage", died as a result of a car accident. Reported first by TMZ and eventually coming to popular search engines like Yahoo!, the 58-year-old wrestler reportedly suffered a heart attack while driving his jeep in Tampa, Florida, losing control of his vehicle and hitting a tree head-on. Macho Man then succumbed to his wounds upon arriving at a local hospital. The rest of the report on this tragedy can be read on TMZ or Yahoo! News.

Macho Man Tribute Video

No words can describe the sense of mortality and grief I'm feeling over this sad news. I grew up idolizing Randy Savage as a kid, and his matches and promos were some of the best the wrestling industry had to offer, particularly during his tenure with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now known as WWE or World Wrestling Entertainment) and the now defunct World Championship Wrestling. Like the rest of the world, we'd find ourself mimicking his catchphrases, even going so far as to shout of "OOOOOOOOOHHHHH YYYYYEEEEAAAAAA" or flexing imaginary muscles in the manner of his infamous "Macho poses". His marriage to "Miss Elizabeth" Hulette was one of the most memorable storied pairings/ marriages in professional wrestling history, and he even had his share of appearances in media and film, including Sam Raimi's ever popular 2002 movie adaptation of Marvel's Spider-Man, where Savage played Crusher Hogan, a wrestler whom a newly powered Peter Parker fights in a wrestling show for the prize money. His last genuine appearance was promoting the Xbox 360/ PS3 game "WWE Wrestling All-Stars", where his younger self and other legendary wrestlers fight the new breed of talents, in a mixed generation, cartoony styled wrestling game!

It's still hard for me to accept the news properly that another popular icon from my childhood has passed on, but we can only pray that he's in a better place now. R.I.P Macho Man, and keep on shining up there with Miss Elizabeth and the rest of the legends who are with you... OOOOOOHHHHH YYYEEEAAAHHHH!!! I leave you all with this classic interview segment from WWE's past featuring the Macho One himself...

The Dark Knight Rises Update: Official Press Release online

Filming for Christopher Nolan's next and final Batman epic "The Dark Knight Rises" has already begun, and while there's certainly no new information yet to pass around in the movie blog sites other than the usual rumors and set photos, an official press release was given off by Nolan, Warner Bros., and Legendary Pictures, confirming the fact the sequel is underway. As posted in Slash Film, you can take a look at it below:

BURBANK, CA, May 19, 2011 – Principal photography has begun on Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ “The Dark Knight Rises,” the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.

Leading an all-star international cast, Oscar® winner Christian Bale (“The Fighter”) again plays the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. The film also stars Anne Hathaway, as Selina Kyle; Tom Hardy, as Bane; Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard (“La Vie en Rose”), as Miranda Tate; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as John Blake. Returning to the main cast, Oscar® winner Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules”) plays Alfred; Gary Oldman is Commissioner Gordon; and Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”) reprises the role of Lucius Fox.

In helming “The Dark Knight Rises,” Christopher Nolan is utilizing IMAX® cameras even more extensively than he did on “The Dark Knight,” which had marked the first time ever that a major feature film was partially shot with IMAX® cameras. The results were so spectacular that the director wanted to expand the use of the large-format cameras for this film.

The screenplay for “The Dark Knight Rises” is written by Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. The film is being produced by Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Charles Roven, who previously teamed on “Batman Begins” and the record-breaking blockbuster “The Dark Knight.” The executive producers are Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Kevin De La Noy and Thomas Tull, with Jordan Goldberg serving as co-producer. “The Dark Knight” is based upon characters appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. Batman was created by Bob Kane.

Behind the scenes, “The Dark Knight Rises” reunites the director with several of his longtime collaborators, all of whom worked together on the “The Dark Knight.” The creative team includes director of photography Wally Pfister, who recently won an Oscar® for his work on Nolan’s “Inception”; production designer Nathan Crowley; editor Lee Smith; and Oscar®-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (“Topsy-Turvy”). In addition, Paul Franklin and Chris Corbould, who both won Oscars® for the effects in “Inception,” will supervise the visual and special effects, respectively. The music will be composed by Oscar® winner Hans Zimmer (“The Lion King”).

The locations for “The Dark Knight Rises” span three continents and include the American cities of Pittsburgh, New York and Los Angeles, as well as sites in India, England and Scotland.

“The Dark Knight Rises” is a presentation of Warner Bros. Pictures, in association with Legendary Pictures. Slated for release on July 20, 2012, the film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

The Dark Knight Rises is slated for a July 20, 2012 release.

The Walking Dead Board Game is coming!

I haven't had time to sit down and play a decent board game in a long time, but this bit of news from Comic Book Resources literally made me jump in excitement over the idea that I may just return to the fold soon playing a new game based on one of my favorite zombie series of all time!

Yessiree folks, it looks like Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" franchise is hitting the board game scene with an official release from the folks at SKYBOUND and Z-Man games! This will allow fans to delve into the lore of what has already become a vast and intriguing story about survival horror, where a group of survivors continue to find ways to survive and deal with the zombie apocalypse and maintain a semblance of their former lives... Without trying to tear each other apart. Players will get the chance to play as favorite characters from the series like Rick Grimes, Shane Walsh, Andrea, Michonne, and a whole lot more, and deal with the undead and collect supplies to survive!

I don't know about you folks, but I'm setting my eyes on this board game and purchasing it when I get the chance! I've been a fan of Kirkman's series since the comics, and its popularity has grown even more thanks to the AMC TV series adaptation that will see its second season premiere later this fall! If you love zombies and survival horror like I do, watch out for this and the opportunity to immerse yourself in the experience!

The Walking Dead Board Game, published by Z-Man Games, designed and developed by MegaGigaOmniCorp, Inc. and To Be Continued, LLC, will be for 1-6 Players and arrives in stores late summer and is slated for a retail price of $39.99. For more info on the game, check out the source post at CBR!

First Look at The Adventures of Tintin poster!

At last, after being on the dark on how this movie would be fairing before its release, the legendary young adventurer Tintin and his puppy dog Snowy are coming to cinemas this fall! One of my favorite childhood adventure books is coming to the big screen later this year, and it's directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by LOTR director Peter Jackson!

As posted in Slash Film, what you see above is the first poster of "The Adventures of Tintin", which will be a 3D motion capture film based on three classic stories from the Belgian comic book series of the same name by Georges "Herge" Remi. In this movie, acting as an origin flick, our hero Tintin (Jamie Bell) will encounter and meet friends and adversaries for the first time, including Captain Haddock (played by Andy Serkis), and Detective twins Thompson and Thomson (played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost)! Even James Bond actor Daniel Craig appears in this movie as the legendary pirate Red Rackham, so it's an all star cast for a stellar franchise turned interesting new 3D flick! For more info, visit the source post over at Slash Film!

The Adventures of Tintin comes to 3D and conventional theaters on December 23!

NYCC 2011 - First Few Guest Announcements!

Things are getting exciting for the many comic conventions which are coming soon.

Of course, the Number One pop-culture event of the year - the San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC) - has already listed their various guests on their website. And Red Dot Diva is sure more is yet to come, especially those related to Hollywood and mass media.

There has also been word that the exciting DC Comics one-shot graphic novel "Superman Beyond", which will be released in August 2011, will be showcased at SDCC!

But there have been many who were unable to go to this year's SDCC, due to the unfortunate online ticketing snafu. And therefore, many pop-culture fans will be making their way to various other conventions like NYCC 2011 or Wizard Con.

Just this month, NYCC 2011 announced their Guest of Honor - Eisner-award-winning Robert Kirkman! Robert, the mastermind behind "The Walking Dead" series, will be making appearances at the Image Comics booth and attending panels. Super-exciting news, indeed!

Other comic guests like Mike Mignola ("Hellboy"), Ivan Brandon, Cliff Chiang have also been announced. Red Dot Diva is sure that there would be more guests announcements to come before the convention in October 2011.

Press accreditation is already open and Red Dot Diva is trying her best to make her way to NYC this year for the convention. Wish her luck!

The FCBD Geekery in Singapore

Comic books have always been a rather niche market in Singapore, but recently, there have been more buzz concerning graphic novels on our tiny island.

Thanks probably to the superhero/ supernatural-related TV and movies which have proved popular with the mass-market crowd lately!

So, instead of Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) focused mainly at a local comic store called GnB Comics this year, there were two larger bookstores getting into the fray as well. They were popular book store chain, Kinokuniya and a fledgling store for the geeks, aptly named Harris Planerds. In fact, Planerds was holding the FCBD events to coincide with its official opening at the centrally Orchard Road-located 313@Somerset mall!

The Uncle Ben Death Scene filmed for The Amazing Spider-Man!

Movie news sites Screen Rant and SuperHeroHype have posted news and pics from the latest scene to be filmed for the movie "The Amazing Spider-Man" - The "Uncle Ben Death Scene"! This isn't much of a spoiler and comes across as common knowledge to anyone with an inkling of knowledge about the Spider-Man mythos, but consider this a SPOILER still, especially to those who want to remain "spoiler-free" for Marc Webb's Spider-Man film reboot!

The scene plays out pretty much like that in the comics and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man - Uncle Ben, played by veteran actor Martin Sheen, meets his demise at the hands of a burglar. This propels Peter Parker (played by Andrew Garfield) to hunt down the burglar as his alter ego Spider-Man, and when he eventually catches him, he finds out in horror that it's the same thief he had to opportunity to stop during a wrestling gig he entered earlier. This tragic incident teaches Peter a lifelong and valuable lesson; "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility".

That pretty much sums up the entire nature of this scene. For more pics and info, visit the source posts at Screen Rant and SHH!

First Look At The Expendables 2 poster!

Movie blog sites First Showing and Screen Rant have posted the first look at "The Expendables 2" poster released at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, as well as the official synopsis of the testosterone driven sequel that has Sylvester Stallone and his rag-tag team of mercenaries back on the job! Be warned, the plot contains major SPOILERS for those who want to shy away from the story of the sequel, so best turn your eyes away now!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

"The Expendables are back and this time it’s personal! After Tool (Mickey Rourke), the heart and soul of the Expendables, is brutally murdered on a mission, his comrades swear to avenge him. They’re not the only ones who want blood. Tool’s beautiful young and wild daughter Fiona embarks on her own revenge mission, complicating matters when she is captured and ransomed by a ruthless dictator plotting to destroy a resistance movement. Now Barney and the Expendables must risk everything to save her and humanity."

There you have it! Looks like things are going to turn up a notch action-wise for the sequel, so even if Sly isn't directing, he'll be back in full force as Barney Ross, leading the team built for guns, blaze, and glory! Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger are coming back as well, and rumor has it that Jean-Claude Van Damme and other action stars may be joining in too. We'll just have to wait and see how things turn out. For more info, visit the source posts at First Showing and Screen Rant!

The Expendables 2 is set to be released on August 17, 2012!

Zoe Saldana is a sexy assassin in "Colombiana"!

I'm a fan of Zoe Saldana, and after her works in films like 2009's Star Trek and The Losers, you'd expect her to be getting her big solo flick sometime down the line. Well, that time is fast approaching, as she will headline the next big "dangerous assassin chick" action flick called "Colombiana"! A new trailer for the movie made its debut last Thursday and, via Superherohype, so did a new international poster (above) which looks attractive and appealing enough to draw curiosity for moviegoers like me to go and see this film when it comes out, and it happens to be written by the guys who did that awesome Liam Neeson movie "Taken" and the guys who created "Le Femme Nikita" and "The Professional"! You can check out the trailer and what the movie's story is about right in the embedded player below.

Ezio Auditore returns again in Assassin's Creed: Revelations!

Finally, after days of teasing and speculation, the next Assassin's Creed game's details have been revealed, and gamers will once again assume control and finish the tale of one Ezio Auditore!

Via a post in Kotaku, Ubisoft officially reveals what their next game, Assassin's Creed Revelations, is all about. Picking up where Brotherhood left off, an older Ezio travels to Constantinople in a journey of self-discovery and revelation, taking on the Templar order based on that region who have sinister plans up their sleeves. It's also a safe bet that we'll be seeing his descendant Desmond Miles return, as the last game presented a cliffhanger ending that should definitely be resolved in this one once and for all. Multiplayer will also be making a return with new modes and characters to use, so this should bring a nice end to the Ezio Auditore trilogy of the Assassin Creed series! For more info, check out the source post at Kotaku!

Assassin's Creed: Revelations is expected to hit the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows PC this November!

The Man of Steel turns 73!

The month of May yields a lot of pleasant surprises, for May 3 happens to be the day 73 years ago when Action Comics #1 was released and introduced to the world one of the most beloved and iconic heroes the world has ever known - Superman! Co-created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and published by DC Comics, the Kryptonian born Kal-El would be the last survivor of his planet sent to Earth by his parents; Adopted by a loving earth couple and given the name Clark Kent, who would be raised up with a strong moral conscience and go on to champion the cause of "Truth, Justice, and the American Way", serving as a symbol of hope and justice against all evildoers!

Several publications in DC Comics and other forms of media have featured Supes fighting the good fight, but his milestone issue of Action Comics #900 just hit comic shops last week (with him renouncing his American Citizenship in a back up feature by famed screenwriter David Koepp). With a new movie reboot directed by Zack Snyder and starring Henry Cavill in the titular role slated for release on fall next year, it just proves that this "Man of Steel" is still popular as ever. 73 years and counting, he continues to be an inspiration to fans and peeps the world over! With that in mind, there's only one thing left to be said:

Happy 73 Years Superman!

Rumor: The Avengers script leaked and movie delayed?

It may still be a year away, but excitement for Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Studios' live-action film adaptation of "The Avengers" is growing bigger and bigger thanks to the fact that "Thor" is now in theaters and production for the movie has officially begun. However, a new report posted over at Screen Rant suggests a rumor that the official script for the superhero team movie may have been "leaked", which may cause the Disney/ Marvel flick to be delayed. How and why this leak happened is up to debate, but it stems from a report from website Obsessed With Film that they have gotten their hands on a leaked copy of Samuel L. Jackson's script of The Avengers, codenamed "Group Hug" by Joss Whedon, and it has since spread online like wildfire with major SPOILERS on the film's plot. What exactly those said spoilers are were thankfully not revealed in Screen Rant's post, and I'd like to save myself from knowing what the movie's about until there is official promotional material released like posters and trailers.

Again, this may sound like serious news, but until there's official confirmation from Disney or Marvel, I'll take Screen Rant's article just as it is, a rumor. Discussing things at this point would be useless, and whether the script was leaked or not, delaying production will just complicate matters and will cause the film to miss its May 4th release date next year. All we can do is hope and pray that nothing obstructs the filming process for what would be, in Robert Downey Jr's words, the "most ambitious film ever made"! For more on this rumor story, visit the source post at Screen Rant!

Smallville's "Dominion" - directed by Justin Hartley

Smallville fans! There are only 2 episodes left till the 2-hour series finale on May 13th!

With CW's "Smallville" ending after 10 years, last week's episode "Dominion" was handed over to regular Justin Hartley as his directorial debut. A fantastic way to reward the talented actor-writer who can now add "director" to his resume.

The episode showed Clark and Oliver returning to the Phantom Zone in attempt to find out how a prisoner managed to escape from that dimension. Over there, they meet the leader of the "very lovely folks" in Phantom Zone - General Zod (by the fantastic Callum Blue), who is also kinda looking for a second-in-command playmate.

Red Dot Diva won't give away too much spoilers - but she says there were gladiator-styled fight scenes which very well choreographed and quite violent. There were lots of Omega symbols. And someone got Tess staring down the barrel of a gun.

Overall, Justin did a great job with the direction - especially in the scenes that Zod was in.

Congrats, Justin!

Now, Red Dot Diva has to prepare to say goodbye to one of the more entertaining series on TV.
How is she ever going to get more of her Green Arrow fix next time? :(

Spider-Man Reboot Update: Set photos reveal Oscorp in the movie!

Set photos have appeared online in sites like Slash Film showing off new developments in Marc Webb's upcoming Spider-Man flick - "The Amazing Spider-Man"! Aside from the fact that the reboot will focus more on Peter Parker's high school life and have him fight The Lizard, little is know about the actual story. However, the new set pics shot in NYC may shed some light into the mystery, as the "Oscorp" logo appears prominently in one of them. That means that Norman Osborn, aka The Green Goblin, may factor into the movie somehow. We'll just have to wait and see when more details sprout out in the coming months. For more info and the set photos, check out Slash Film!

The Amazing Spider-Man is slated for release on July 3, 2012!
