Speaking of DCU super-dude movies, someone is spoiling The Man of Steel for everyone over on the IMDB forums with the unsurprising and unsubstantiated though likely news that the film will have a “comic book look and feel” (via FilmSchoolRejects.com)
In stalled DCU movie news, The Answer Bitch over E! Online takes a stab at telling us why there will be no Justice League Movie from Warner Brothers anytime soon. No offense, Answer Bitch, but I’m sure Beat readers will have far more news and theories on this than you. If any of you would care to share them in the comments section, I would like to hear them.
The Arrow Pilot, however is a total GO. DC Entertainment CCO, Geoff Johns and all around Green Lantern champion, tweeted CW’s first look at the pilot today.
In news of comic book television shows that will NOT be getting made this season, ABC has passed on AKA Jessica Jones, the pilot based on Marvel’s Alias series by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos while Fox has passed on the television incarnation of The Punisher (via CBR and Spinoff Online)
