We’re Getting a New Justice League Cartoon!
The first poster for the new cartoon — Justice League Action — has arrived and been confirmed by Cartoon Network! The new show will be all about action, and will air in 11-minute segments — kind of like Teen Titans Go! .
We do know that Kevin Conroy will be back as Batman, and Mark Hamill will be back as the Joker, so those are pretty cool. And Deidrich Bader, who I will always know best as Oswald from The Drew Carey Show, will be Booster Gold. So we know there will be a rotating cast of heroes, as you can see in the background of the poster there.
No premiere date has been announced or anything else, really. I suppose that’ll be coming. Who’s excited? Who’s dreading a JL version of Teen Titans Go!?

Here’s That Dark and Gloomy Wonder Woman Footage
DC Comics really hit the ground running last night with a big, entertainment extravaganza! Not only did they show off the first looks at the Justice League, including Flash and Cyborg, not only did they confirm that the Green Lantern Corps is coming, and not only did they debut a new, spectacular Suicide Squad trailer, but they also premiered the first footage of their Wonder Woman movie, which is currently filming, with Gal Gadot in the lead role.
Not sure why Kevin Smith was pulled into this, but his reactions seem as canned as humanly possible.
Anyway, the footage looks cool, but then it also looks dark and gloomy. Extremely dark and gloomy. I realize that ‘dark and gloomy’ is how DC is treating their Big Three characters, but that footage is really, really dark and gloomy.
We can only hope that Suicide Squad does better at the box office than Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Maybe that will be a lesson learned.

Behold, Our Justice League!
It’s never too soon to start the hype machine, so here is our first ever look at the entire movie Justice League! It’s only concept art for now, but this is it!
Is ‘Dawn’ really the strongest word they could come up with?
The art is to promote an upcoming TV special about building the movie Justice League, which is part of the larger media blitz for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. This is our first official look at Cyborg and Flash, even if it’s not a very good look. But this could be a lot worse!
Also, now that I think about it, does anybody else find it a little weird that, after the Big Three, the most promoted DC superhero at this point is Aquaman? To be fair, I’m super excited for Jason Momoa’s performance, but still, Aquaman? You’ve got Flash and Cyborg waiting in the wings, but you’re leading with Aquaman?
Just kind of interesting, is all.

Batman v. Superman Brings the Everything
We were teasered earlier this week, and now the full brunt of the latest Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer has arrived!
It’s pretty good. There’s a lot given away in this trailer. We see Clark and Bruce meet for the first time, we see why they go to war, we see how Lex Luthor responds, we see Doomsday, who’d only been rumored up to this point, and we see Wonder Woman’s arrival in response to Doomsday. That’s kind of the whole movie, right?
Captain America v. Iron Man: Dawn of War still leads the pack for me!

The Batman v. Superman Train is Rumbling Down the Tracks!
Rumors are still swirling that Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is going to have a huge, blowout appearance at Comic-Con next week. To get us even more excited for that moment, Entertainment Weekly has released a new set of images of the movie, including our first really good look at Wonder Woman!
Apparently print issues are still a thing!
Looks pretty good! I never for a moment thought she was only going to wear brown, based on those early pics. But this looks fine to me.
Here’s another picture of Diana with Bruce Wayne, so it looks like she’ll be stepping out out of costume at some point in the film.
If only this movie was called ‘Batman v. Superman v. Wonder Woman’
And hey, here’s a shot of Batman facing off against Superman, nifty!
They’re both gonna catch their deaths of cold in that rain
A couple more pics are at EW’s website, so swing on by. Maybe this movie won’t be so bad after all. And somebody get me some news on Robin, gosh darn it!
