In a couple of weeks, DC Comics fans will have a chance to take in the latest direct-to-DVD offering, the highly anticipated Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths animated feature. But the buzz today is coming from the next feature in queue for DC Entertainment.
According to The Los Angeles Times, details are emerging about the next animated feature, namely Batman: Under the Red Hood. The original comic book storyline will be adapted by animation legend Bruce Timm (as executive producer) and Brandon Vietti (as director). Vietti co-directed the 2007 animated feature Superman: Doomsday.

One of the things I like best about the CW network’s Supernatural is how the stories intersect with holidays. Whether it is a goofy Halloween episode or a weird Christmas tale, the show has done some fun things in the past.
And now, the Winchester brothers are turning their attention to Valentine’s Day. So, if you’re tired of roses, hearts and candy, get your horror fix with Sam and Dean in this week’s episode, “My Bloody Valentine.” Here’s the network’s synopsis of the episode:
Castiel (Misha Collins) helps Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) hunt down Cupid (guest star Lex Medlin) on Valentine’s Day after townspeople start to kill each other for love. However, after Cupid tells them he’s innocent, they discover Famine (guest star James Otis), one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, has arrived in town.

Is Superman going to get the Dark Knight treatment?
According to the folks over at Deadline Hollywood, Christopher Nolan is being tapped to be a mentor of sorts for a third reboot of the Superman film franchise.
Following his successes with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, one can’t blame Warner Bros. for thinking he could help revive the franchise. After all, it’s been over three years since Superman Returns hit the screen to critical and fan ennui. Maybe he could make a difference.
But let’s not rush to assume this is a good thing. Isn’t this pretty much the same thinking that got WB into this mess in the first place? Bryan Singer, who had turned the X-Men mutants into household names, was given free reign to create Superman Returns as an homage to Richard Donner’s work on the original films.
The result of Singer’s work was as hotly contested as Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. And no wonder. They both tell of Christ figures having a child that religious conservatives or comic book zealots consider blasphemy.
David Tennant ends his reign as the Doctor in "The End of Time," his final episode of the BBC television series Doctor Who.
Since my childhood, I have followed the adventures of the Doctor, a renegade Time Lord who travels through time and space repeatedly saving the universe and (more often than not) the planet Earth. So, tonight’s episode “The End of Time – Parts I & II” (on BBC America) is more than an event, it’s a goodbye.
For four years now, the titular role on the BBC television series Doctor Who has been David Tennant. With a variety of companions and friends, the Doctor has met threats from outer space and beyond. Now, everything comes full circle as he encounters his arch-nemesis, the Master (John Simm), and the reemergence of the believed-extinct race of Time Lords.

Exclusive TRON Legacy image courtesy of Disney Pictures. Click for larger image.
The FilmGuru is proud to be one of the select few fans who has received access to a new Tron Legacy image via Facebook. The image (right) shows what appears to be a promotional banner for the film. On Facebook, poster Laura Schibinger said this is the billboard that they put up on Santa Monica Blvd. Interestingly, the word Legacy doesn’t appear in the image. However, it does say “IN 3D DEC 2010.”
A description of the film from Facebook also refers to the film as TRON, not Tron Legacy:
TRON is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.
Is there a name change in the works for this film, or is going to be marketed both ways? More information as it develops!
