1 - An Underworld reboot is underway.

2 - Resident Evil is on hiatus while Milla is pregnant. Will finish filming the latest installment next summer.

3 - Hawkeye won't die in Age of Ultron
3a - Like Black Widow in Cap 2, Hawkeye will be prominent in Cap 3.

4 - Rumors have Cap leaving the Avengers at the end of Ultron
4a - Mockingbird will appear as a guest on S.H.I.E.L.D. played by Adrianne Palicki. This is important as Cap is tied more closely to S.H.I.E.L.D then anyone and Hawkeye will be more prominently featured in Cap and Mockingbird is a love interest of Hawkeye. (see it all ties together)
4b - Rumors also state that if Cap leaves the Avengers to start a new team, for example, and Hawkeye is featured in the next Cap movie AND they bring in Mockingbird, the formation of the West Coast Avengers could occur.
4c - With no Cap, Iron Man would lead Avengers. Which could then take us to Cap vs Iron Man for Civil War.
4d - Chris Evans contract ends with one last Avengers movie. SPOILER ALERT: If Civil War happens, Cap gets shot. Could be Evan's / studio's way to move on afterwards.

5 - Supposed sketches released from when Michael Bay wanted the Turtles to be aliens: http://www.slashfilm.com/unused-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-designs/

6 - Shazam movie on DC's lineup. Rumors to star 'The Rock'. Will he be Shazam or Black Adam?

7 - Unusual approach to an Aquaman movie: http://www.cinemablend.com/new/DC-Comics-Has-An-Unusual-Plan-Bring-You-Best-Aquaman-Movie-Possible-66737.html

oh, let's end with 'aggravated sodomy' -

I have been calling Civil War for a while.  It just makes sense.  It would be the most interesting and the story is already heading that way.

With the way that "big government" has already treated Cap, I can see him souring on any kind of technology that might be able to track superheroes, especially in the hands of one person.  With reports that Ultron is birthed from Tony Stark's Iron Man tech, this will further play into it.

It's a way to bring all of these characters into one film and have them fight each other.  It would be totally epic.  It could also serve as the death or exile to get rid of any actors and replace them: black Captain America, female Thor, get rid of Iron Man for a couple of films...whatever.

oh, let's end with 'aggravated sodomy' -

I prefer to start with aggravated sodomy, as it makes my dates much more compliant for all of the other freakier shit that daddy has in his bag...

1 - An Underworld reboot is underway.

Since the term "underworld reboot" is the common slang term for aggravated sodomy, I suppose you started with it as well.

2 - Resident Evil is on hiatus while Milla is pregnant.

If Milla had stuck to a strict regimen of aggravated sodomy, she wouldn't be pregnant, and the upcoming "Resident Evil 37: Zombie Worms" film wouldn't be needlessly delayed

5 - Supposed sketches released from when Michael Bay wanted the Turtles to be aliens:

With their ability to retract inside their shells, both alien and traditional turtles are nearly impervious to aggravated sodomy.

I don't think the female Thor or Afro-Hispanic Spider-Man will be making it into film any time soon.

The Preacher graphic novels dealt quite hilariously with aggregated sodomy.  "It's buggerin' time!"

Adding The Preacher graphic novels to my read list...it's just that easy.

[mecadonzilla]

I just saw my autocorrect mistake.  Aggregated sodomy sounds much worse than a single aggravated one.

Preacher by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon is one of my favorite comic series of all time.  It's definitely worth a read.

I was talking about this with William Katt recently. I asked why it wasn't in the news, why with all the other reboots, the popularity of super heroes, etc... he wasn't pushing for his show to be rebooted. He just kinda smiled but didn't say anything. I'm guessing now that its because he couldn't say anything at the time.

Here's the announcement:

Enjoy your reign while you may, Superman. For as surely as night follows day...there comes a time when even gods must die. - Lex Luther

I appreciate all of the bitchin' comic book news and insights, but on behalf of copy editors and villain-lovers everywhere, would you please fix the spelling of the villain's name in your signature block? It's actually Lex Luthor.

HA! Awesome. I copied and pasted that line from an article I read so long ago. Had to be a little bit after TDMMC went live. Never caught it (how often do i read my own sig, its like calling my own phone)...

Ultimate Spiderman to appear on the animated series (started Sunday actually). Whether you're for or against this version, this cosplay is really good. Almost movie quality...

I've been catching up on Smallville lately, and Lex Luthor is definitely one of my favorite characters in this show.

On a sci-fi movie note, though not really a comic book-related deal... I recently watched the short film "Prelude to Axanar," which is a documentary-style film in the Star Trek universe that tells about the events leading up to the big war with the Klingons. I have to admit that I was skeptical coming in, but was totally hooked by about 3 minutes into the movie. I highly recommend it for any Star Trek fans.
