The Daily Blam posted a pic of Green Lantern’s Power Battery from the upcoming live action Green Lantern film awhile back; here it is:
Green Lantern Movie Power Battery
For those of you unfamiliar with the Silver Age comic book superhero and his green, lantern-shaped Power Battery, here’s the titular hero himself, Hal Jordan, as usually depicted in the comic books:
Green Lantern. Carrying a green lantern.
And here’s the Central Power Battery from which all members of the Green Lantern Corps. draw their intergalactic peacekeeping powers, also, a giant, glowing, green lantern:
Where All The Giant Green Boxing Gloves Come From...
Diehard comic book fans may have problems with the design of the live action Green Lantern Power Battery.
I, for one, happen to like it.
It’s green. It looks like a lantern. And it’s clearly of alien origin.
Rumor has it actress Emma Stone (Zombieland, Easy A) is being considered for the role of Mary Jane Watson, Peter Parker’s longtime flame and wife of 20 years, in the announced Spider-Man reboot.
"Emma Stone To Play Mary Jane Watson?"
Sure, she’s not naturally a redhead, but you can’t deny that looks wise, she definitely fits the part!
Here’s what Mary Jane looks like in the comics:
"MJ's First Appearance In Issue 42 of Amazing Spider-Man."
"The Wedding Of Peter Parker And MJ"
Spot-on casting if it’s true, and a far cry from Kirsten Dunst’s girl-next-door portrayal of MJ in the previous three Spider-Man films.
"Mary Jane As She Looks Today"
For once, this bit of unconfirmed casting news has me genuinely excited.
If Emma Stone’s carjacking, con artist Wichita from last year’s surprise hit horror/comedy Zombieland is any indication, it looks as though die-hard Spidey fans will finally get the comic book accurate, big screen personification of MJ they’ve been demanding.
Make it happen, Sony!
UPDATED: Looks as though Emma Stone will be playing Gwen Stacy instead of Mary Jane. Sigh. Thanks for getting my hopes up, guys…
Just got through reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith, author of Pride And Prejudice And Zombies; I’ll try to post a review of the book some time soon.
In the meantime, check out this amazing cover:
Cover Art For Time Lincoln Issue 1
As if a vampire hunting Abe Lincoln wasn’t enough, our 16th President once again receives the superheroic treatment in Time Lincoln, a one-shot comic book by Fred Perry!
Here’s the description from the Antarctic Press website:
What happens when the Great Emancipator is suddenly freed from the bonds of time to right wrongs throughout history? On the night of his assassination, Abraham Lincoln’s life is threatened not by an angry actor, but by Void Stalin, the man who is literally the greatest villain of all time! Somehow, Lincoln is destined to wage war upon Void Stalin’s forces of evil in the past, present and future, and the time-traveling tyrant is determined to make sure that never comes to pass! In his last hour, he lived a lifetime!
Here’s the second official trailer for this summer’s highly anticipated Iron Man 2:
Whiplash and War Machine both look great.
I especially like the shot of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash shown from Tony Stark’s POV under the flipped race car.
The portable Iron Man armor at the end of the trailer is an awesome money shot that will definitely go a long way towards getting people in seats May 7th when the sequel, Iron Man 2, makes its debut.
