    The General’s Back in Town 

    TV Guide says Micheal Ironside along with Peyton List will reprise their roles of Sam and Lucy Lane for an upcoming family reunion in Smallville’s final year.

    General Lane and Lucy were last seen in separate episodes during Season 4. The General, however, has been mentioned numerous times, including last season when Lois called to discuss her wedding to Clark (Tom Welling) while under a persuasive spell.

    My favorite Clois moment in episode three of the horrendous fourth season, “Facade”, General Lane shows up to tell his daughter she failed the last semester with Clark laughing behind her back. After giving his future son-in-law the look, puts him in charge showing Lois around Smallville High to make up for credit.

    Aside Ms. Graves delivering The Falcon Punch (which I used in my latest 5 Second video) to Dumb Blondie‘s face, The McGuffin Kryptonite centric was one of the worst episodes of Season 9.

    With Ironside’s return to the show maybe that Darkseid’s vessel is possible. But I’m not going to hold my breath considering The Lord of Apokolips (from that glimpse of him on Clark’s Dark Knight spot in the San Diego footage.) is a human cloud (Galactus in Fox’s last Fantastic Four/Silver Surfer film-direct-to-spin-off that didn’t happen) that can tranform into a swarm of crows (Brian Peterson & Kelly Souders’ brilliant idea of the Parademons).

    Supernatural in Anime 

    A brief glimpse of the only good show on The CW, in Japanese animation by the minds of Madhouse (The Animatrix, Vampire Hunter D, and Spawn).

    Aside from the physical monster (as opposed to the black smoke spirits were used to) at the end and the familiarities like Mary Winchester (or Jessie’s) death scene, the white eyes of my favorite villain from the show, Alistair (Christopher Heyerdahl’s portrayal of the character was better then Mark Rolston in my opinion), nothing in-particular showy.

    All I can say is I’m stoked for this. It better be distributed in America, after-all this series originated here, plus Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are providing the voices. There’s no reason why it shouldn’t be.

    The Flash (Wally West): “New Divide” 

    My first music video, so cut me a little bit of slack. Based off Mark Waid’s story that introduced The Speed Force to The Scarlet Speedster mythos, “Terminal Velocity”, Wally is torn between staying in the other dimension or go back to deal with the death of his uncle, Barry Allen, continue to fight the good fight against evil, and his complicated relationship with Linda Park.

    Song: Linkin Park – “New Divide”

    THIS IS A NON-PROFIT VIDEO MADE PURELY FOR FUN.

    Avengers Assemble! 

    Here’s the little promo that surprised the guests (and anyone else who managed to catch the live feed on UStream) after the Thor panel in San Diego went officially online.

    I’m still disappointed about the Ed Norton recast to Mark Ruffalo (and the fans severely booed Marvel Studios‘ executive producer, Kevin Feige when that question was brought up). It hurts the continuity, but then again they already shot themselves in the foot with Rhody.

    With the additions of The Infinity Gauntlet, as well as The Cosmic Cube, Invaders (including Namor without wings on his ankles), and Hydra, I sincerely hope they aren’t overloading on their first films for these franchises. You can’t cover all that material within a one-hour-and-forty-five-minute time span.

    To watch the footage from previously said panel, go here.

    Smallville Season 9 in 5 Seconds 

    You may have noticed (aside from the season premiere, “Savior”) I didn’t make more parody videos for Smallville’s ninth year.

    The reason being after the eighth ended so dreadfully, I waited out to see how it turned out. And not to my surprise (besides Clois coming together) underwhelming too (which can be said for the tenth after seeing you know who touching Doctor Fate’s helmet). So I’ve decided to do something different.

    Batman: Under The Red Hood Review 

    I enjoyed the last feature, Crisis on Two Earths (which I still watch frequently). DC Universe films have been whooping Marvel‘s ass, so here are my thoughts on Batman’s third film in this line.

    Wade Williams as Black Mask was the highlight performance. With an unbelievable sense of rage that either figuratively steam would come out of the voice actor’s ears or his head explode.

    One of the best moments in this film is where he says to the new guy joining the mob, “You keep staring at me like that, I’m gonna cut your eyes out”. There’s a pause which is then followed by a Falcon Punch. Bruce Greenwood did a good job as The Dark Knight. He pulled off the father figure which is essential to this story that was adapted by the original writer, Judd Winick.

    There’s an excellent chase scene with The Caped Crusader, Nightwing, and Red Hood across the Gotham City rooftops. Plus all the fight scenes were amazingly well choreographed.

    Alexander Martella and Vincent Martella nailed the second Robin in the flashbacks with young Jason Todd transitioning from the light hearted sidekick to the character’s infamous trait to talking back to his mentor.

    While David Warner and Mark Hamill will always be the quintessential voices to Ra’s Al Ghul and The Joker, Jason Issacs along with John Di Maggio did fine for what they were given.

    Big problem with Ra’s being involved with the resurrection (as opposed to just Talia in the comics since her father saw Jason as a lost cause), would never ally himself with The Clown Prince of Crime. Bruce Wayne digging up Jason’s grave himself would draw attention unlike from the source. Jensen Ackles still sounded like Dean Winchester for the majority of the movie until the brutal climax where he’s actually delivering the role of the adult Jason.

    Neil Patrick Harris owned Dick Grayson (the “get in the car” line, classic), his screentime was short. If he had at least one fight scene with Jason’s persona it would be fulfilling. Lastly, did Bruce Timm and company really have to stick Jason in Tim Drake’s old outfit?

    Overall, I wouldn’t put this above excellencies of Mask of The Phantasm or Return of The Joker, but it’s definitely earned the third spot.

    Rating:9 1/2

    The DC Showcase: Jonah Hex short with Thomas Jane and Linda Hamilton was way better then the live action movie ever was. Which includes catchy spaghetti western music by The Track Team, Jeremy Zuckerman, & Benjamin Wynn.

    Superman/Batman: Apocalypse looks to be another good one, minus Andre Braugher as Darkseid because no one can top Micheal Ironside from the DCAU.

    SDCC: First Look at Cap’s Shield 

    More Marvel exclusive are still pumping out.

    Nice and metallic. With the costume going through developments over the course of the film, Chris Evans said to MTV that his primary weapon will to.

    Sounds like we’ll be seeing the triangular one as-well. About the transition from frail Steve Rogers to muscular super-soldier, they’ll be using a body double in the vain of Toby Maguire’s metamorphosis in Spider-Man.

    SDCC: Behind Young Justice 

    Definitely more mature then Teen Titans.

    The show’s got the production value of an animated feature then just-another-TV-series like previously mentioned or The Batman. I was wrong about Aqualad and Artemis (who’s Wonder Girl, Kassie’s age in this continuity then her adult self) being the leaders as the poster implied prier. The character designs for Robin, Kid Flash and Red Arrow are top notch.

    Don’t like Miss Martian (a Titan member) being on the team though. As I’m torn about Kara Zor-El’s existence (despite me liking the first two storylines by Jeph Loeb), it takes away from J’onn J’onzz and Kal-El’s last-of-their-kind aspect. In my opinion, I prefer Arsenal over Roy Harper’s first and last alias’.

    SDCC: First Look at Thor’s Helmet 

    The complaining can stop now.

    It would’ve looked too goofy if they stuck to traditional with the enormous feathers.

    Thor & Cap Posters 

    Even though the event starts tomorrow, news has already begun. Marvel delivers these exclusives that Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and Hugo Weaving will be signing at Saturday’s panel at this year’s San Diego Con.


    There’s no doubt in my mind that Goldilocks‘ film is gonna rule (go out on a limb and say that it will top Iron Man’s films). Winghead has the right tone, but I still have to see some footage of Evans as Steve Rogers to be sold or not (same stance for Ryan Reynolds in his CG Lantern suit).
