 Heroes, Season 2 , has been slated for 22-23 episodes with the first 11 episodes labeled as “Volume 2 - Generations”.  The 11th episode, which airs December 3rd, was supposed to be the last episode of Volume 2 and the introduction to the second half of the season: Volume 3.  But alas… things change.The 11th episode just might be the finale of Season 2 due to the writer’s strike.  TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello writes:

“Heroes‘ second season may be coming to a close a lot sooner than expected due to the forthcoming apocalypse, also known in some circles as the damn writers’ strike.Sources confirm that the show is going back and shooting an alternate ending to the Dec. 3 episode that, if used, would allow the episode to function as a season finale in the event of a strike. Originally, the episode was only supposed to serve as the conclusion of the current “Generations” arc. Should an 11th-hour agreement be reached and a strike averted (fingers crossed!), the alt ending would likely be scrapped. ”

I just saw this ad in one of our convention magazines.  Keep an eye out.  Iron Man May 2nd, Hulk June 13th.  (Hopefully Hulk won’t suck this time!)  Mark your calenders.

Ok, one of the greatest series to ever hit the tv screen finally has some t-shirts… and we gots em!  These shirts are literally flying off the shelf faster than you can figure out the square root of pi and multiply it by the tangent of the reciprical and then take the cosine of that puppy.

Be sure to pre order your shirt now before they come in because, only god knows when we’ll be getting more in.  We’ve already placed two more orders for these bad boys.  You an check out our Heroes shirts here.  Let us know aht you think and we’ll do our best to make you happy as well as meet your SuperHero needs. 

Oh, and if you haven’t seen the series yet, or you’re living in a cave in Tibet, then you’re missing out.  The story line is much better than Lost (which is totally addicting) and the writers just do a darn good job.  Be sure to get your vids from Netflicks or Hollywood or Blockbuster or where ever.  Just go right now and rent the darn series. 

This is literally, the most fantastic depiction of Batman outside of the actual comics (being restricted to Neal Adams, Michael Turner and Jim Lee).  Alessandro did a fantastic job in creating his version of Batman. 

“The main source of inspiration, apart the general imagery of Batman`s comics, movies and so on, was the wonderful short movie “Batman: Dead End” by Sandy Collora.   I loved Sandy`s realistic vision of Batman`s costume and the dark and dirty mood of the film, so I decided to keep that realistic aspect in 3D, emphasizing even more Bruce Wayne`s dark side. So I took elements from Batman`s iconography assembling them according to my personal tastes of how I like him.”

Go to Alessandro’s site right now and read up on how he made this fantastic piece of art. 

• - Notice the texture in the suit.  The cowel and how you can see the man behind the mask in the eye slots.  Check out the wrinkles in the shirt on the abs and on his right tricep.
• - You can actually tell the difference in material between the gauntlets and cape and the shirt and leggins.
• - The wrinkles in the gauntlets, the metacarples (back of the hand) as they push out in the gauntlets.
• - The blood on the Batarang.
• - The Utility Belt, the stitching, the chrome and leather, the shadow it leaves on the thigh.  You can tell that the light is from nothing other than the moon. 
• - And my favorite… the zipper in the gauntlet.  Alessandro has this down to a science.

And if you haven’t seen Dead End, you better stop what you’re doing and go check it out right friggen now.

With the upcoming Iron Man movie in May 2, 2008, we thought we’d post some more talent in the form of fan film teasers.

I thought it was going to suck, but his actually looks pretty good.

By SPreadingTheMuse.. pretty good.

Cool! AmericaMD put this up, showing the actual US F-22 Raptor is in Iron Man, no CG here.

Processed MeatMan put up this vid from ComicCon. Vid of the prototype Iron Man armor… or is it Armors?

Ok.. this one isn’t about Iron Man, it’s a montage vid of AVP II, which, as much as I wanted to hate it I actually liked. You just gotta love the way this guy put this together. Almost makes me want to see it again. Hey, isn’t AVP III coming out some time?

Alright, everyone knows that the movie is in full production.  Everyone’s excited and we want to get our hands on every image and video we can buy, steal, grab, swipe, dodge and duck to get on our site.  Ethics be damned!

So, here’s our favorite Brokeback friend Heath Ledger who will be playing the part of The Joker.

Nahh, that’s not what he looks like in the movie.

THIS is what he looks like in the upcomming Dark Knight movie.

Wicked!

And here’s Harvey, our favorite DA!

You just gotta love him.

Dark Knight Teaser Trailer II… not really

A good story for any Batman / Batman Beyond fan. “I don’t want tea.. I want answers.”

The Speed Racer Movie - The Mach 5!

Alright, this is my first attempt at bloggin’.  I’ve never done it before, but I thought I’d start off with some cool pics of the up and coming Speed Racer movie’s Mach 5 car and Batman’s cycle.  These beauties were at the Vegas Magic apparel convention where all the new manufacturers come out with their new fresh styles.  So, not only were there thousands of incredibly beautiful women with phenomenal bodies and spikey high heel shoes, there was also … the Mach 5!  Every guy’s dream car.

 This car is SUCH a hot friggen car!  To the untrained eye, it would look exactly like Speed’s Mach5 with it’s pointy tri-prong front end, the curved windshield and bulbous raised wheel wells and chrome bottle neck type mags.  Just a sexy beast.

But, alas, it’s not exactly like the real Mach 5, you know… the one based in reality, in the cartoons?  But, it’s darn close enough.

Luckily, I had one of the local hottie models take these pics of the car since I had stupidly forgotten my camera at home.  And with all the lovely women there in Vegas.  Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

The Speed Racer movie will be out in theatres May 2008!

Batman Movie The Dark Knight! - The Batcycle. 

The next hot beast is the Batcycle!  This baby was wayy cool.  It looks like it came straight out of one of the second Aliens movie, something that one of the Colonial Marines would be riding while saying, “ef it man!  Put her in charge.  I’m outa here!”

I’m not a tech guy or grease monkey cyclist, but I do know what I like.  This bad boy comes with some massive flippen tires that look like they were stollen off a HummVee.  The drive looks like a crankshaft, but I could be wrong… I am generally wrong… most of the time.  The front tire is mounted with a left fork mount and those weird gauntlet type things, that are weirdly reminescent of an Alien’s dome, cover the outside of the Dark Knights forearms while he steers.

Some problems here are that… if Bruce buddy doesn’t have some sort of ferring or shield, he’ll be eating gravel and dog poop that’s kicked up from the front tire.  Think I’m wrong… you ride this bad boy out in a dog park and see what you’re picking out of your teeth all day. 

The front forks look like they have some sort of “machine gun” mounts… which is stupid!  See, this is why I hate movie directors for superhero movies.  They continuously make stuff up that shouldn’t be there.  Batman’s parents were killed by a gun, he hates guns!  End of conversation… except for you uber-geeks who read year two where he fights that one idiot in the red skull suit and huge ass sickles… and he uses guns that time, but that’s about it.  Come on people!  Stick to the script!  It’s already written for you, why do you have to go and deviate??  Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! 

See, here you can see the gun barrels on the fork.  Aside from deviating from the original story to the point of just being stupid, technically, this creates another problem since how often does a baddy end up right in front of the forks so you can shoot him?  And where’s the targeting system?  Come on people.. this isn’t Vietnam where Batman is just going to throw tons of lead in the air hoping that it’ll hit some mobster or henchman.  Also, if you take a look at the rear tire, it’s a death trap waiting to happen to any cape wearing hero.  Seriously.  What do you think will happen the second Batman takes off from a dead stop?  His cape is casually laying on the rear tire, the bike goes forward, the tire turns, the cape moves with it, and it becomes wedged between the tire and that funky superfork, snapping Batman back, and slamming him against the rear tire itself.  Do you know how much kevlar/nomex/electocurrent capes run these days?  Not cheap!

Bad, bad bad!  An awesome looking machine even if it’s not historically or technically toeing the line.

Batman The Dark Knight Movie opens July 2008!

Yesterday, the Hollywood Reporter announced that Scarlett Johansson is in final negotiations to portray the femme fatale Silk N. Floss in Frank Miller’s adaptation of Will Eisner’s The Spirit.    Today it’s been released that Eva Mendes has also joined the cast.  This is starting out to be quite the star studded lineup with Samuel  L. Jackson and Gabriel Macht already on board.  Their is no doubt that”The Spirit” was an influential comic and that Will Eisner is the friggen man but I have my doubts on how this movie will do.  It’s such an old comic, will they stick to the story that Will Eisner wrote or will they modernize it for today’s audiences?  Will having it packed full of stars make people who don’t care, interested in it?  It will be interesting to see how they market this movie.  The filming is set to start in New Mexico this October.
