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.

News You Already Know
* Terrance Howard is out of Iron Man 2 and Don Cheadle is in. Terrance Howard wanted more money than Marvel Studios wanted to pay. So the easy solution was to replace him with the great Don Cheadle. I'm not a big fan of recasting but Don Cheadle is a much better actor than Howard.
* Fanboys will be yelling "MORTAL KOMBAT" sooner than expected. Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe has just been moved from December to November 16th.
* "Iron Man" screenwriters Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby told MTV that they want a certain green skinned giant as the film's antagonist. "I hope 'The Avengers' embraces that," Fergus said. "You don't want like 10 super-badass good guys fighting together. Where's the fun in that? Let's break it off a little. Friends or colleagues who become enemies is always an interesting thing because you know it's based on love and friendship and that's always the worst thing to have turn bad - someone you actually care about and someone you actually believe in."
