Green Lantern Animated Series Opening Sequence

Warner Bros. premiered the debut episode of the Green Lantern Animated Series this morning at the New York Comic Con. Fans attending the event got a taste of the action earlier as the episode will air on Cartoon Network on November 11th. The opening sequence has been uploaded online to give everyone else an idea of whats in store. All the footage released so far has looked very promising and will hopefully shine a better light across the world of Green Lantern, which is a property that could be huge if done right.

The Batwing Will Really Fly!?

Ok, not fly literally but these pics were snapped on set last night of the Batwing hanging high above the city from a helicopter. Now sources say it lands on the rooftop for a scene, whether Nolan is actually filming it flying there or if these are just shots of it being airlifted to the location for the scene is unknown.

Most likely it is the latter but with Nolan's love of shooting as much for real as possible you can't rule the possibility out altogether that he is going for something very ambitious.

The images were posted at the SHH boards with links to each pic taker there.

Henry Cavill Kicks Some Ass In New "Immortals" Images

Visionary director Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) and producers Gianni Nunnari (300), Mark Canton (300) and Ryan Kavanaugh (The Fighter) unleash an epic tale of treachery, vengeance and destiny in Immortals, a stylish and spectacular 3-D adventure. As a power-mad king razes ancient Greece in search of a legendary weapon, a heroic young villager rises up against him in a thrilling quest as timeless as it is powerful.

The brutal and bloodthirsty King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his murderous Heraklion army are rampaging across Greece in search of the long lost Bow of Epirus. With the invincible Bow, the king will be able to overthrow the Gods of Olympus and become the undisputed master of his world. With ruthless efficiency, Hyperion and his legions destroy everything in their wake, and it seems nothing will stop the evil king’s mission.

As village after village is obliterated, a stonemason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) vows to avenge the death of his mother in one of Hyperion’s raids. When Theseus meets the Sybelline Oracle, Phaedra (Freida Pinto​), her disturbing visions of the young man’s future convince her that he is the key to stopping the destruction. With her help, Theseus assembles a small band of followers and embraces his destiny in a final desperate battle for the future of humanity.

"Passing the Torch" Crap Extends to Die Hard 5 – Search is on for John McClane Jr.

As long there's a beloved franchise studios dust off the shelf with the returning lead actor, you're always going to hear the notions of him having a new, younger sidekick. You know, so they can "pass the torch" in case the aging star decides his paycheck isn’t enough to cover the hot wax job on his fourth yacht.

Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull introduced Mutt Williams, the bastard-son of our leather jacket and fedora-sporting hero and there were talks of a spin-off adventure for Steven Spielberg's Golden Boy (at the time) Shia LaBeouf. Notice the world hasn’t been graced by Mutt Williams & the Lost City of Atlantis three years on? There's also Tron: Legacy, a sequel supposed to branch off from Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner to Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde. Where's Tron 3? Anyone?

Paramount's gung-ho on following that trend with this Christmas' Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol with all that chatter about Tom Cruise "passing the torch" to Jeremy Renner, something that isn't evidence in its trailer. Side-note: my guess is this is all a ploy and Renner ends up being the baddie in a twist.

20th Century Fox hope they're the ones to succeed in this odd trend with A Good Day to Die Hard. Bruce Willis' John McClane will be in the wrong place at the wrong time, for the fifth time. This time in Russia and his son (Remember, folks, John McClane had two kids. Our pals at Movie Hole have the incriminating evidence from the original Die Hard) as his partner-in-crime taking the place of Reginald VelJohnson, Sam Jackson and Justin Long.

Variety says Willis will soon test with a short-list of young thespians including Aaron Paul (Emmy winner from AMC's Breaking Bad), Paul Dano (One of the few young actors who can claim they held their own against Daniel Day-Lewis from There Will Be Blood) and Ben Foster. All fine actors, although I'm having trouble imagining Dano as an skull-thumper. Him playing McClane Jr. as a little weenie - that's easy. But him handing some bad-guy their ass in a fight is harder to grasp.

The studio denied this short-list (that also included Paul Walker and Milo Ventimiglia) it should be said. You and I both know that translates to dick. Of course, they're going wave red-flags with "NU-UH!" claims. The fact they responded that quick to the initial report from the trade means the original information is true.

Woman in Black Official Trailer

Daniel Radcliffe is looking so grown-up in his first post-Harry Potter film that I can almost believe he's playing a dad.  Almost.  We have a new official trailer for the creepy-looking The Woman in Black, which opens in theaters on February 3, 2012:

Yikes!  For anyone who'd rather see a lighter and funnier Daniel Radcliffe, you still have time to check him out on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying through the end of this year.  And for those of you who still can't let Harry Potter go just yet, Deathy Hallows Part 2 arrives on DVD on November 11.

Images From Catwoman Short Film

I've seen a mixed bag of reviews for DC animations latest effort 'Batman Year One'. Most of the criticism seems to be towards the voice acting apart from Bryan Cranston's Commissioner Gordon.

At any rate one of the extras on the DVD and Blu Ray is a 15 minute short film simply titled 'Catwoman' and Superherohype.com got hold of these new images from the short.
