Affirming fan speculation, “Old Boy” and “Men in Black 3” star Josh Brolin admitted that he was an official contender for the role of Batman in the upcoming Superman/Batman film, and also expressed his support for the new Batman, Ben Affleck.

While many acknowledged a Ben Affleck Batman as a death sentence for a cinematic franchise so recently resurrected, there's still a glimmer of hope for those feeling trapped in an insurmountable prison pit of nerd despair.

Every year, San Diego Comic-Con is the place for movie news and exclusives to be revealed, usually news that will excite and shock the fans.  Yesterday, Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. did just that with the news that the follow-up to the successful, yet controversial, film "Man of Steel" would not be a traditional sequel only focusing on Superman...

As a 32-year-old Superman fan, I’ve yet to have a great interpretation of Kal-El in my lifetime.  The two amazing Christopher Reeve films were in the 70s, his last two films were terrible, the “Lois and Clark” TV series was OK at best, “Smallville” was to Superman what “Twilight” was to vampires, and “Superman Returns” was an abomination that nearly killed the legacy...

As expected the new Superman flick, Man of Steel, opened at number one in this weekends box office earnings. What is a bit more surprising might be exactly how successful it was.
