Kick-Ass is playing Cyclops in the new X-Men movie.  Also, other people are playing other parts.  (thefilmstage)

Speaking of X-Men, some dude covered a toilet in X-Men clippings and is selling it on Ebay for $500.  Am I missing something?  (gammasquad)

Here’s a trailer for Woody Allen’s new film.  I haven’t watched it, but I can take a stab at what it’s about: misunderstood and neurotic, yet charming, old man pursues smoking hot, but somehow independent and intelligent, college-aged girl.  Tell me if I’m in the ballpark.  (iwatchstuff)

Another stop-motion Super Mario Bros. video?!  Are you fucking kidding me?!  Whatevs.  (vimeo)

I’m a sucker for animal videos.  And while the animal is only half the point of this, it kills me every time.  I can’t stop watching it!  I dare you to not laugh.  (youtube)

What happens when you get on a skateboard the size of a building and ride it down a hill?  You eat major shit, that’s what happens.  But it’s awesome anyway.  Looks like a deleted scene from Honey, I Shrunk the Ed Templeton.  (uniquedaily)

Shatner is a thief.  A goddamn thief!  (gammasquad)

Chris Columbus could direct the new Superman flick, beating out original choice, Amerigo Vespucci.  No word on if Vasco da Gama will have any involvement.  (supermanhomepage)

Do statistics frighten you?  What about statistics that are intentionally frightening?  Do they frighten you even more?  Makes sense.  I’m sure there’s a statistic about that somewhere.  But for now, here are 9 days of the year that are, statistically speaking, fucking scary.  (cracked)

Here you go, you stop-motion junkies: a cute little video of a police shootout made with Legos.  (geekologie)

With Batman: Under the Red Hood being released later this month on Blu-Ray/DVD, it was only a matter of time before DC announced their next animated movie. Well after a few days of this being on the interwebs, DC/Warner Bros has officially announced that Superman/Batman: Apocalypse will be the next feature to be released. Based off of Jeph Loebs second arc on Superman/Batman with artist Michael Turner, the Apocalypse storyline re-introduces Kara Zor-El (a.k.a Supergirl) back into the mainstream DC universe while Batman is tasked to figure out the true origins of Kara and why Superman trusts her unconditionally all while Wonder Woman and Darkseid are both looking to gain control of Kara for training her to be a future warrior of their homes. This story continues off of the previous Superman/Batman: Public Enemies Blu-Ray/DVD and will once again feature Tim Daly as Superman, Kevin Conroy as Batman and introduce Summer Glau (Firefly, Sarah Connor Chronicles) as Supergirl. Like the Public Enemies movie that was based off of Ed McGuinesses art style in the book, expect this to be close to the style Michael Turner provided for the Supergirl arc. Continuing with the DC animated short films that was introduced with The Spectre, this release will feature a 10min short starring Green Arrow. Available on Blu-Ray/DVD Sepetember 28th, full specs and special features for this release are below.

* A first look at the next installment of the DC Universe movie.

* DC Showcase Short Film: Green Arrow

* Featurette: The New Gods – chronicles the tale of Darkseid and why he reigns supreme as one of the most brilliant, and toughest challengers the Super Heroes must face, and what his threat for tomorrow could bring.

I don’t care that someone has recreated every Star Wars film in GIF form, I’m still not watching ‘em.  (youthewhoa)

There is something strangely ominous and futuristic about the Mangroomer website.  (mangroomer)

Earlier this morning DC Comics officially got into the digital distribution game. Not unlike Marvels attempt, DC will mainly be using this application now for distribution of back issues, but Justice League Generation Lost 4 is available (for $2.99) and that book is set to be released in stores today. So it seems that DC might be testing the day of distribution like how Marvel plans on with the upcoming Iron Man annual. The available books range from the standard Superman, Batman and Green Lantern fare but you will get some Wildstorm and Vertigo titles such as WildC.A.T.S, The Losers, The Authority and others. The books range from the free-$2.99 price point, so not that bad considering that is lower than most cover prices for books these days. The DC Comic app is available for download in iTunes for all iPod touches, iPads and iPhones. You can check out the full list of currently available books after the jump.

Sony has officially announced that the highly anticipated DC Universe Online MMO will be released for the PS3 this November. This DC MMO has been in development for over two years now, with character designs from Jim Lee and a incredibly deep roster of characters to interact with including the usual high profile characters such as Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Lex Luthor, The Joker along with lesser known by the mainstream characters such as Zsasz, Booster Gold, Braniac 5, Toyman and many others. At this time there is still no information on if there will be a monthly fee for this game or if it will be 100% free (my guess is some sort of fee) but we will know sooner than later now that we have a release date. IGN was able to get a brief hands on with the game, which you can read about here.

This amazing custom was done in response to the desire by many fans for a Superman in the Superman Vs. He-Man 2 pack that would match the size of the Masters of the Universe Classics figures.

Warner Brothers has made a fantastic decision and has purchased the London based Rocksteady Games. Rocksteady developed the fantastic Batman: Arkham Asylum and it’s critical and financial success probalby made the purchase that much easier for WB. The main goal of this purchase is to have Rocksteady work on many WB properties, but no exacts were mentioned. Hopefully this will lead to a good Superman, Green Lantern, Flash and many other DC properties getting games they deserve. More news to come once we get more information on upcoming projects.
