Shock confession time: Man of Steel is one of my most-anticipated movies because, well, it’s directed by Zack Snyder, and with a script written by David S. Goyer, and with Chris Nolan as producer, there’s absolutely no way this movie can go wrong.

Now we have the first look at the guy playing Clark Kent/Superman, Henry Cavill, in costume as the title character. Click on the image to embiggen:

Personally, I think it’s absolutely badass. I love that they’re using the Earth-Two Superman logo for this suit too.

Not a fan of the textured look (I think it worked better in The Amazing Spider-Man, though) but I’m willing to give that particular design mistake a pass, mainly because you know they’re not going to pussify Superman, unlike that other recent movie.

What do you think?

That’s right, I said it. Just look at that! This is from the last page of Red Robin #24 and look just look at it! Notice the look of terror and confusion on Tim’s face, not knowing what horrors the *gasp!* vagina  would do to him.

I wonder if post-reboot Tim would still be like this..does DC have the balls to have the first openly gay Robin? Will he finally get laid before the DCU implodes and reboots? Why is he so afraid of vaginas? So many questions unanswered!

Yes, this needed it’s own filler-post. Shut up!

For those curious as to what Chris Evans – formerly Fantastic Four’s Johnny Storm – looks like as Captain America, Entertainment Weekly’s giving us a first look. You have to give Marvel Studios’ costume and makeup people credit here – he doesn’t look like a douchebag fratboy.

Aside from the duckface, hes pretty much what I thought Steve Rogers would look like. The modifications they made to the classic costume looks great too – it’s something that would work in the real world, while staying true to how it looks like in the comics. I just wonder why they decided to make the shield all rugged with those bullet marks, though. Anyway, there’s a great interview with Chris Evans on landing the Captain America on EW’s website!

So I was finally able to read X-Men: Second Coming, and I must say, that was a pretty strong opening. This crossover has every potential to be as awesome as Messiah CompleX. But there’s a little something that bugged me. Okay, there’s the fact that Nightcrawler calls out Wolverine and X-23′s murderous ways mere seconds after he kills a couple of humans as well. Or the fact that Cyclops blew out a huge hole in his fucking wall when we all know that Cyclops is the most stoic X-Man ever. (continue reading…)
