[samurai black]

shows what i know. apparently theyre working on the dark knight returns after this

We reported last week in our DARK KNIGHT RETURNS article that BATMAN: YEAR ONE was being made by DC Animation for release later in the year.  Well, Hollywood Reporter has exclusive additional information on the project, and right now it's sounding more and more impressive.

According to HR, we're getting a pretty terrific cast for the animated film - Bryan Cranston (BREAKING BAD) for Gordon, Ben McKenzie (SOUTHLAND) as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Eliza Dushku (BUFFY: THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) as Catwoman, and Katee Sackhoff (BATTLESTAR: GALACTICA) as Detective Sarah Essen.

Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's YEAR ONE is considered pretty much the definitive Batman origin story, and you can see its influences all over Christopher Nolan's films as well as the other animated Batman shows.  It's beloved by Batman fans the world over, and considered one of Miller's best works.  Bruce Timm, who executive produced, said, "The source material is surprisingly cinematic; it's a pretty straight forward literal retelling.  Mazzucchelli's artwork is beautifully composed and we were able to refer to the comic for about 80 percent of the camera setups."  So it's sounding like a very loyal interpretation of the source material, which should make fans very happy.

Something else that should make fans happy - it'll be PG-13, and it looks like it will be premiering at ComicCon in July before being released on DVD and Blu-Ray this fall.  I'd imagine those tickets will be hot property this year.

I also like how they paint the torso even skinnier than the actual person wearing them... you know, so they don't feel fat... oh wait

[originaljulz]

I just lol at the fake cleavage in the first one.

[samurai black]

this is pretty cool. a bunch of alt covers for various marvel comics that show the evolution of the x-men characters costumes.

90's cyclops is still his best one. if theyre still doing alts for mvc3, i kinda hope mags gets the one second from the left
