News You Already Know

* Looks like Sony may be pulling the plus on a Green Hornet film for the second time. Since Stephen Chow has stepped down as Director the film has hit a brick wall. The was set to star Seth Rogan as the Hornet and Stephen Chow as Kato.

* Watchmen is now being released on March 6th 2009. Currently Warner Brothers has been posting viral videos as promotion.

* So Batman got zapped in Final Crisis #6 and appears to be dead. I have not comment on this much due to the release of Final Crisis #7 this week. More insight in to the "death" of Batman should be coming soon.

* Heath Ledger is on a roll with winning both a Golden Globe and a SAG award for his portray as Joker. Can he make it a hat trick with a win at the Academy Awards?

* DC Comics editor Bob Schreck was laid off last Thursday. It was also announced that MAD magazine will now be published on a quarterly basis. Rumors are still floating that Dan Didio would be the next to be laid off by DC Comics.

* The spoilers are starting to roll in on DC's Blackest Night. The first two Black Lanterns were revealed in the solicitations for the action figures. So who are the ring wearing zombies? Earth 2 Superman and Martian Manhunter.

* Marvel Studios is set to ruin a good thing by being cheap. First they don't offer Sam Jackson enough to come back as Nick Fury and now it's being said that Mickey Rourke isn't thrilled with the amount of money he's being offered to suit up as a bad guy in Iron Man 2. Sam Rockwell is almost 100% confirmed for the movie as Justin Hammer. Maybe this is why Rourke is going to be at Wrestlemania 25.

* Micheal Uslan is set to serve as an executive producer for the sequel to "Dark Knight". Uslan was quoted saying that 2011 would be the soonest we could see a sequel.
