You need a hero!

It's easy to wander off and get historically lost in superhero oblivion right now, what with all the comic books and super heroes being adapted into movies right now. But it's okay, don't panic! I'm your friendly neighborhood superhero heroin, here to keep you up to speed.

Here is the latest in supehero movie productions this year.

Iron Man - In theaters May 2. (You can expect 2 sequels, and Downey Jr. says he'll do 15 sequels)
The Incredible Hulk - In theaters June 13 (aka Ed Norton vs Marvel Studios)
Hell Boy 2 (The Golden Army) - In theaters July 11 (I'll pass).
The Dark Knight - In theaters, July 18 (aka the comic book movie that's gonna deserve some Oscars)
Punisher: War Zone - December 5 (aka the Punisher movie that isn't gonna be half as good as the Thomas Jane one)
The Spirit - In theaters Jan 8, 2009
X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Currently filming, set for May, 2009 (you can expect a sequel to this prequel, and another spin off or two: Gambit, Magneto, Deadpool)
Watchmen - In theaters March 6, 2009 (I premise that it will be wicked wild good)
Captain America - Being written, slated for 2009. (As a marketing guru, I'd imagine release date is July 4.)
Justice League Mortal - In writing limbo, but slated for 2010. (supposed to produce lots of Spin offs, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern
The Man of Steel - slated for 2010, "Superman Returns" sequel. Because DC comic movies don't use numbers in titles.
The Flash - coming in the coming years, meant to be a spin off of the Justice League flick
The Avengers - It will probably be after The Iron Man trilogy concludes, but is supposed to be wicked good. So maybe sometime in the next decade?

Nerds Make The Best Superheros!


With the way comic-book superhero movies took off in the past decade, it was only a matter of time till the "supergroup" of comic books hit the big screen--Justice League of America. The movie has been garnering lots of talk and rumors for some time now, but a good many of us have been skeptical bout it.

But as of 2 minutes ago, I'm sailing proud on the eager boat. And I didn't even bring a life raft!

It's no secret to my friends that The Flash is my fav superhero, and it's probably even more widely known that I'm an enormous Seth Brody fan--to the point where I was actually talking and bantering exactly like his OC character, Seth Cohen--nerdy lisp and all--which certainly made my girlfriend at the time wonder about me.

Well, the rumors of my favorite nerd being cast as my favorite superhero have been confirmed by the LA Times. And not just in the Justice League flick, but quite possibly in the following spin-off FLASH MOVIE.

I feel like a Cohen on Chrismakkuh!
