WB’s DC COMICS FILM SCHEDULE LEAKS: ‘JLA’ in 2017 & Moar!

OH GOLLY NO

Oh fuck! Oh me! Oh my! Warner Brothers’s purported DC Comics Film schedule has leaked! (If you believe it, but I do.) To whatever jabroni leaked it, watch it. Bro Dude Dick Heads Goyer and Snyder are liable to send Superman after your ass. And as we’ve seen in Man of Steel, he’s angry as fuck and ready to snap necks.

‘ROBIN RISES: OMEGA’ could see the return of DAMIAN WAYNE

Robin rises

Damian Wayne! Motherfucker was dope as fuck, slapping around foes with Daddy, and flaunting his superior genes. Then they killed his ass off. However, it looks like he is going to be coming back from the grave. Like every other comic character. Ever.

Warner Bros. reveals Grant Gustin’s FULL ‘FLASH’ costume. I dig it.

The Flash.

I haven’t really watched any of the CW’s stable of DC comic adaptations. Gave up on Smallville. Want to watch Arrow but haven’t as of now. Yet even I am a little piqued in the pink-bits at the costume Grant Gustin shall be wearing on the upcoming Flash.

Hit the jump for a full look.

Sean Murphy’s cover returns us to the ‘REIGN OF SUPERMEN.’

Reign of Supermen!

This is the difference between being young, bright-eyed, idealistic, and old, fat, and cynical. When I was a youngin’, the Reign of Supermen was fucking awesome. If it happened now, I’d spit on the ground and curse the Powers That Be like a loser. Sean Murphy’s recently revealed cover is able to temporarily recuperate my broken spirit. Calling me back to the olden days.

THE ROCK further teases he’ll play GREEN LANTERN

The Rock.

What is in a hashtag, bros? Brodettes? I ask you. ‘Cause either The Rock is rubbing us gently against the tip of his Green Lantern, or he is trolling the living shit out of us. In an Instagram picture filled with many other words, the hashtag at the end was worth like, a zillion more. Huh?

GEOFF JOHNS + JOHN ROMITA JR. = next ‘SUPERMAN’ creative team

Romita Jr. does Superman.

It’s been rumored! Announced! Confirmed. John Romita Jr. and Geoff Johns will be the creative team on Superman. This does absolutely nothing for me, and in fact the presence of Johns’ means I’m actively disinterested. Does this mean I’ll skip their debut issue? Of course not. Well played, DC. You clever fuckers.

Vertigo announces ‘VERTIGO QUARTERLY: CMYK.’ ILL ANTHOLOGY GET.

Vertigo Quarterly.

OH WORD? Vertigo is putting out a fucking quarterly anthology? Stacked with goddamn talent? Like Jock? Fabio Moon? Others? Bro, you sign me up. In blood and seminal fluids. That’s how serious I am. Drain me and clone me, I simply don’t care.

Stunning BATMAN GRAFFITI found in abandoned building. Exploring++

Gnarly.

This is gnarly. A redditor and his girlfriend from Belgium thought they were just going to do some run-of-the-mill urban exploring. You know, finding their way into some abandoned building. Cut themselves. Get tetanus. Probably die. However, they did one better than dying from a rusty spoon in some burned down shack. The couple stumbled across some gorgeous Batman graffiti.

DC wins the FINAL APPEAL in the case of SUPERMAN RIGHTS

Action Comics #1.

It appears that DC is inching closer (if they haven’t closed the case already) towards completely subsuming the Superman rights into their bulging corpus. Latest in a long line of appeals and whatever stuff has ruled in favor of The Man.

Buy These Flippin Comics!!! (11.06.2013) – Cold November Rain

Buy These Flippin' Comics.

Hey folks, Johnny here for another week of comics mirth, mayhem, and pull-list jibber-jabber!  As I write this, I’m looking out my window on a cold, wet, Midwestern fall day – miserable in all respects, but perfect for one thing: sitting inside, listening to music and readin’ comics!  For shut-ins like myself the Comixology app has been a godsend in that if the weather doesn’t abide, no matter, I can grab all this week’s goodies digitally.

Remember, you can check out all this week’s releases HERE.

As always, if I don’t mention a book that you think deserves more love, speak up!  Though my wallet doesn’t quite agree, I’m always eager to try new books, and the OL community wants YOUR input.  Yes you.  I’m pointing right at you.  This week brings kind of an eclectic group of titles, so let’s get down to business, shall we?
