Let's just jump right in, shall we?
SPOILERS BELOW!DC won't let Batwoman get married, so the writers quit.New 52 Batwoman Katherine Kane proposed to her partner Gotham City police officer Maggie Sawyer, but DC suits are not letting the couple get married in panel. As a result, writers J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman have announced they'll leave the DC Comics series after Issue 26.
"Unfortunately, in recent months, DC has asked us to alter or completely discard many long-standing storylines in ways that we feel compromise the character and the series," Williams and Blackman said.
I don't really see how this can be construed as anything other than a staunch anti-gay marriage stand, which is odd, because The New 52 hasn't exactly been known for its upstanding family values.
Newsarama has this insane theory about "Marvel’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron."You should read it for yourself, but it involves a crazy J.A.R.V.I.S. evil twin cobbling together an Iron Man suit out of those discarded in "Iron Man 3," along with their data files about how to fight the Avengers. I can't sat that this is what's going to happen, but it sounds kind of awesome.
Dinobots to appear in "Transformers 4."In an interview with a Beijing newspaper(for some reason), producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura officially confirmed the existence of the Dinobots in "Transformers 4." He didn't say much else, but come on. Robot dinosaurs. This movie may end up being fun despite itself.
"Doctor Who" will not see a new full season until Autumn 2014First they said Matt was coming back in the spring, then they said Matt was leaving in the Christmas special, then they said new Peter Capaldi would start in the summer, and now they have pushed that back to autmn.
The rumor is that since "Doctor Who" is such a powerhouse in the U.S.(which it really isn't), they want to conform to American TV season schedules. What they don't realize is that it doesn't matter. Whovians will watch it whenever it's on on matter what.
Here is a behind the scenes featurette for Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."Here is the new poster for season 4 of "The Walkind Dead:"
Hyperbole and a Half gets a book.
Fans of the often demented, sometimes sad
Hyperbole and a Half can buy the collected comics starting October 29. Allie Brosh is almost inhumanly self-aware, and the comics she created in MS Paint are often poignant and always funny.
We have yet another new Sherlock Holmes.Magneto/Gandalf will take on yet another iconic role, when he stars as a much older Sherlock Holmes than we've seen lately in "A Slight Trick of the Mind" from director Bill Condon. Said to be about an older Holmes who is haunted by an old case.
That's all I have for now.
