"Green Lantern," which releases June 2011, finally has made public pictures of the hero's costume. I find the outfit more puzzling than anything, considering it looks like something that would be more at home in the new "Tron" movie. Also befuddling is that the threads look like a blend of the Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner costumes. That surprises me because the movie is supposed to be all Hal all the time. But since the Kyle costume was so well done, I have no objection."Avengers" finally let lose the worst kept secret in Hollywood: Yes, indeed, Joss Whedon is directing the May 2012 flick. The creative genius behind "Dr. Horrible," "Firefly" and many other shows should do well with the team movie — which is coming together fairly quickly. Mark Ruffalo of "The Kids Are All Right" will play Bruce Banner following Ed Norton's departure from the project, and Jeremy Renner of "The Hurt Locker" will play Hawkeye. I have high hopes for this movie. Don't let me down, Joss.
And now that Christopher Nolan's "Inception" has released, we're finally hearing some rumblings about the third Batman film, due for release July 2012. I'm still holding out hope to see Hush in this film, but methinks that's a fool's dream. More rooted in reality are reports that Christopher is approaching this installment as his final take on the franchise; that it's quite possible the Riddler with be the film's lead villain; and, thank goodness, there is no chance we'll see the Joker in the film. Don't get me wrong. I loved the Joker we got in "The Dark Knight." But I agree completely with Christopher in that no one should succeed Heath Ledger in the role. At least not in this incarnation of the franchise.
Lastly, it's worth noting that DC is still working toward bringing The Flash and Wonder Woman to the big screen. Of course, we've heard this all before, so I'll believe it when I see it, but anything that brings us closer to a Justice League of America flick is alright by me.
