News You Already Know

* DC made the announcement that the following series, "Robin", "Nightwing", & "Birds of Prey" were all being cancelled in December. What they have not told us yet is that the books are being replaced by the new series, "Red Robin", "Batman & Robin", and "Gotham's Bad Girls". The last one is suppose to following the adventures of Harley Quinn and Catwoman.

* While we are still waiting for the official word on Thor, Marvel Studios announced today the director for "The Fist Avenger: Captain America." Joe Johnston will be the director that brings the star-spangled avenger to the silver screen in May of 2011. Johnston is known for directing "The Rocketeer". For the record fanboys are rejoicing.

* In a recent interview with the Los Angels Times, singer/actress Beyonce talked about her plans to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming Warner Brothers film. It should be noted that there is no official announcement on a Wonder Woman project from the studio at the time. I idea of Beyonce playing Wonder Woman is a big of a long shot. Warner Brothers is very protective of the franchise players and are never to keen on making drastic changes like the color of Wonder Woman's skin.
