Comics News Roundup 08.24.07
ITEM! Justice League movie closer than you’d expect! A script and a director (George Miller of “Happy Feet”) are in the bag, and as early as February 2008, production will begin. Also, rumors say it’s going to be an all-CGI “photo-real” motion capture movie. Christian Bale and Brandon Routh are likely not to be involved, and I don’t care. I want my JLA movie, dammit!
ITEM! Scarlett Johansson joins “The Spirit”! She’ll play the femme fatale Silk N. Floss in the movie adaptation of Will Eisner’s The Spirit directed by Frank goddamn Miller. Can’t wait to see the dangerous curves.
ITEM! Veronica Mars joins Heroes! Okay, not exactly the character Veronica Mars, but Kristen Bell. She’ll be playing a hot and mysterious character named Elle. May I just say that as a card-carrying member of the Horny Geeks Society, I am very pleased with this news.
ITEM! Eva Mendes joins Scarlett Johansson in joining “The Spirit”! That’s two face-melting hot chicks on “The Spirit”. And it includes Samuel L. fucking Jackson. And it’s directed by Frank goddamn Miller. It’s safe to say that I’m gonna see the shit out of this movie.
ITEM! Wizard of Oz, Todd McFarlane-style! McFarlane will produce an Oz movie that’s dark and edgy, and hopefully features a buxom bondage queen Dorothy. No, Dorothy, this ain’t fuckin’ Kansas anymore.
ITEM! It’s a slow week in comics news so I decided to fill the rest of this post with the fresh-from-the-November-solicitations cover image of House of M: Avengers #1:
It’s written by Christos Gage and it stars Luke Cage and his gang from the House of M reality. From the cover, you can deduce that Tigra will bring the sex, and Iron Fist will bring the noise. HELLS YEAHS! I think I’m gonna get this.

Okay, RJ. I’ll sponsor you. There are only two requirements: you need to bring me a hot college chick, preferably sedated, and you need to spill the blood of the innocent.
