Goodbye, Metropolis! Hello, Gotham City!

Nananananananananananana- Batman!!!!!  Just like every Fanboy in the world I have been loving the hero hype of the past few years.  This past summer has been even better bringing with it the announcement of Superman/Batman.  Now unlike a lot of other people, I haven't been going nuts trying to figure out who should don the cape and cowl.  I figured we have time, heck the script isn't even written yet.  You can imagine my surprise when Warner Brothers does something so very, well, them... They cast Ben Affleck as the caped crusader.  I'm sure Mr. Affleck will do great, but if they were announcing him as the director of the next Batman project I'd be more excited.  As is, I kind of feel like someone is playing an April Fools joke on me.  Again, Affleck has the chops.  I loved him in The Town which was incredibly acted in and directed by him.  In my opinion he had already proven himself capable of carrying a superhero role when he donned tight outfit and mask in the superior Directors Cut of Daredevil.  He's already played Superman George Reeves in Hollywoodland.  Maybe it was destiny.  Once he dons the cape and cowl he will have been the first actor to play Superman AND Batman in major motion pictures.    Cross your fingers with me, and lets just be grateful that they didn't cast Matt Damon as Dick Grayson.  Anyway, just click here to link to the full press release from DC.

Robert Downey Jr. Returns as Iron Man!

Hello Hunters!  You can stop panicking, as it is now official.  Robert Downey Jr. will be returning for the next two Avengers sequels!  Of course, we don't know yet what kinds of cameo's or solo exploits Tony Stark may be getting up to in the mean time, but this is surely good news to this fanboys heart.  Check out the full press release from Marvel.com:

“I am Iron Man.”

Tony Stark’s famous closing line to the very first Iron Man film takes on new life today as Marvel is pleased to announce the signing of Robert Downey, Jr. to reprise the role of the “billionaire, genius, playboy, philanthropist.”

Under the two-picture agreement, Downey will star as Tony Stark/Iron Man in “Marvel’s The Avengers 2” and “Marvel’s The Avengers 3.” Downey is represented at CAA by Bryan Lourd, Jim Toth and Matt Leaf and by his attorneys Tom Hansen and Stewart Brookman of the firm Hansen Jacobson.

Downey, Jr.’s last two Marvel films, 2012’s “Marvel’s The Avengers” and this year’s “Iron Man 3,” rank as two of the top five grossing films of all time, collectively earning over $2.7 billion worldwide to date.

“Marvel’s The Avengers 2” is being written and directed by Joss Whedon. Featuring favorites from the first Avengers film and new Marvel characters never before seen on the big screen, “Marvel’s The Avengers 2” is slated to begin production in March 2014 and open in theaters May 1, 2015.

Ok, I know it's not exactly "super" news. It's not even movie news. But it's good news all the same. Splatter aficionado Eli Roth continues as Executive Producer along with newcomer Charles Eglee of Dexter fame to bring us more gruesome transformations and creepy eyeball regrowth (yay! it's coming, they promised). Season two of Hemlock Grove should start filming later this year with all ten episodes premiering in 2014.
