INT. THE BATCAVE. DAY
ROBIN: "Holy lack of originality Batman! Almost all the news and rumours out of Hollywood this week seem to be related to Superhero movies! Who could be behind this dastardly act of villainy?!"
BATMAN: "There's only one cantankerous crook calamatous enough to concoct such a cowardly cavalcade of creatively questionable content Robin! It can only be...Studio-head man!
ROBIN: "Egad!"
ANNOUNCER: "That's right folks! Grab your cape and pull your underwear on over your pants! It's time for another exciting adventure in This Week in Film News!
Biff! Pow! First up, Edward Norton will no longer be playing the role of Bruce Banner aka The Hulk in the upcoming Avengers movie. Shazaam! Names being thrown around to replace him include David Tennant (Doctor Who), Nathan Fillion (Serenity) and Mark Ruffalo (Shutter Island). Regardless of who will play the Hulk while he's human however, I think we can safely assume that the character will continue to look like incredibly silly in purple pants.
Another rumour going around is that Jonathan Nolan, younger brother of Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan will direct Warner Brothers' reboot of the Superman franchise. The younger Nolan has never directed a film before so he seems like something of an odd choice. However, big brother is signed on to oversee the project in an executive producers capacity, and the siblings have colaborated several times before (Jonathan co-wrote the screenplays for The Prestige and The Dark Knight).
What you see above you is a photo of Ryan Reynolds as the The Green Lantern in the upcoming movie of the same name. It's going to be something of a challenge to make this film any good, given that the heroes power allows him to manipulate green energy - for example, he might make a giant green boxing glove to hit the badguys. Works in a comic book maybe, but I'm not entirely sold on the big screen adaption. On the other hand, Ryan Reynolds was about the only decent thing in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (where he played Deadpool), so at least he'll be able to make funny quips while looking ridiculous.
Speaking of looking ridiculous, this is a new promotion photo for the upcoming movie based on the Marvel Superhero franchise Thor. Going left to right we have Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Hopkins as Odin and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. I don't know whether that eyepatch is in the comic or a creation for the film, but eitherway it has singlehandedly doubled my incredulity that this is supposed to be a major tentpole release.
