For those of you who’ve been following Legends of Tomorrow this fall, you may agree with me in saying that the current season is on track to being the best yet. Not only is the cast gelling more perfectly than ever before, but the writers have found a nice balance between humor and drama, while also crafting one of the best superhero shows on airwaves – and this is coming from a guy who’d been highly critical of past efforts.

So, if you’ve been keeping up, then you’re well aware of how mysticism seems to be the backbone of season 3, with the name “Mallus” already having been subtly dropped. And if you’re giving your big bad a moniker that intimidating, then you’d better find an actor who can bring the proper gravitas.

Well, it looks like the casting department did their job, because none other than John Noble (Fringe,...

Warner Bros. is putting together one monumental box set in honor of the 10th Anniversary of the DC Animated Universe! Find out what all is included!

Welcome back to a special ongoing look at Warner Bros. and how it's handled its DC Comics properties. It's going to be a weekly, ongoing miniseries here at Lrm. This entry will look at what into relaunching the Batman and Superman franchises, and more. We'll explore all of the interesting parallels and forks in the road that brought us to where the Dceu is today.

Last week, we left off in 1997. Batman And Robin came out and was a huge black eye for Warner Bros., effectively turning what was a once promising franchise into a punchline. It was the fourth installment of that series, and it killed Batman almost as definitively as the fourth Superman film had grounded the Man of Steel exactly 10 years earlier.

But before we can look at how Warner Bros. planned to rebound its DC properties post-1997, we have to...

The spotlight shines on far more than the core trio of iconic stars of Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. With the likes of primetime television veterans Steven Weber and Thomas Lennon leading the way, the full-length animated feature film boasts a supporting cast of notable voices from across all entertainment mediums and some of the best-loved animated properties.

Adam West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin) and Julie Newmar (Catwoman) own top billing, but Weber (Wings, iZombie, NCIS: New Orleans) and Lennon (The Odd Couple, Reno 911!) – as trustworthy butler Alfred Pennyworth and Chief O’Hara, respectively – headline an impressive array of actors who were excited to give voice to a role in a Batman film.

In addition to Weber and Lennon, the cast includes:

Jeff Bergman as the Joker and the revered Announcer. Bergman is well known as a voice of Bugs Bunny for more than a quarter of a century...

With the likes of primetime television veterans Steven Weber and Thomas Lennon leading the way, the full-length animated feature film boasts a supporting cast of notable voices from across all entertainment mediums and some of the best-loved animated properties. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has also released five new photos offering our first look at new characters in the animated movie.

In addition to Weber and Lennon, the cast includes Jeff Bergman as the Joker and the revered Announcer.

Over the last week, it looked like the Lynchian fever dream of a Gambit film might not come to pass, with star (and producer) Channing Tatum apparently on the brink of exiting the X-Men spinoff.

It turns out Tatum is still on board, but the incident got us thinking of some other superhero castings that nearly were but never will be:

(Nb Please take it as read that Jude Law was considered for all of these roles.)

Wolverine

Hugh Jackman has become so synonymous with the iconic X-Man that it's strange to think of anyone else taking on the role (even if they inevitably will). But before he had been cast, Russell Crowe was considered to play the angry Canadian mutant, and is credited with directing Bryan Singer's attention towards his fellow Aussie.

A-list hopeful Dougray Scott came even closer, and was actually cast in the role before shooting on Mission: Impossible 2 overran,...

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has released a new clip from DC Entertainment's animated film Justice League: Throne of Atlantis. The story follows Justice League members Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, as they team up with a new superhero named Aquaman. Together they set out on a journey to prevent a war between the inhabitants of land and sea.

The clip shows us the initial discovery by Cyborg and Colonel Steve Trevor of "the event that could lead to a war between Atlantis and the surface dwellers, [which] sends the Justice League in search of Arthur Curry." Here’s the synopsis of the movie:

In Justice League: Throne of Atlantis, Cyborg discovers an imminent threat in the depths of the oceans so powerful that it rallies together the newly formed Justice League. Meanwhile, wandering thousands of feet above the ocean floor is drifter Arthur Curry, a man with strange powers who...

Matt Bomer has been cast in a new Montgomery Clift biopic.

The White Collar star will take on the role of the Hollywood legend in the new film.

Clift starred in classic movies including From Here To Eternity, Judgment at Nuremberg, The Search and Terminal Station.

Following a serious car accident in 1956, he struggled with painkiller and alcohol addiction until his death in 1966 at the age of 45.

Bomer appeared in Magic Mike, and will next be seen in Space Station 76, Winter's Tale and The Normal Heart.

He was reported to be Brett Ratner's first choice to play Superman when the director was in line for the project. He voiced the superhero in the animated Superman: Unbound.

Bomer was also a fan favourite choice for 50 Shades of Grey before the casting of Charlie Hunnam.

Larry Moss will direct the Montgomery Clift biopic from a script by Christopher Lovick, and...

The highlights from this year's Comic-Con were Tom Hiddleston surprising Hall H as Loki and Andrew Garfield spending a majority of his panel in character as Spider-Man. With the exception of Sacha Baron Cohen and the Spinal Tap crew, actors very rarely make appearances dressed in character. An even rarer sight is seeing voice actors dressed as the animated characters they play. It can be a bit bizarre, but it's always a treat to see. Here are 15 (and a half-ish) actors in cosplay as their own characters.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2

As part of their panel for Sdcc '13, the cast pre-recorded a bit that had them "forced" to dress up as their cartoon counterparts -- Bill Hader as Flint Lockwood, Anna Faris as Sam Sparks, Andy Samberg as Brent McHale, and Terry Crews as Earl Devereaux.

The post Sketchy Episode 72 – ‘Superman: Unbound’ appeared first on Sound On Sight.

With interest in Superman at an all time high thanks to Man of Steel coming out in less than a week, DC Animation have released Superman: Unbound to capitalise on the attention. And while I’m sure Man of Steel will be an excellent film, Superman: Unbound certainly isn’t.

Based upon Geoff Johns and Gary Frank’s 2008 story arc, Superman: Brainiac, Unbound features Brainiac, a super-powerful, hyper intelligent green alien with tubes sticking out of his head who collects cities from around the universe and stores them in jars, who turns his attention to Earth with the intention of miniaturising Metropolis to join his collection of bottled cities and blow up Earth. Superman to the rescue!

This is Superman’s first encounter with Brainiac though his cousin, Kara/Supergirl, has faced him before. Decades earlier Brainiac stole the Kryptonian city Kandor, shrinking it into one of his jars,...

In celebration of the 75th anniversary of Superman, Warner Bros. Entertainment and DC Entertainment have revealed plans befitting one of the most popular and enduring Super Heroes of all time.

To honor Superman – the world’s first Super Hero – for reaching such an incredible milestone, the companies are kicking off a year of celebration including a new commemorative Superman 75th anniversary logo as well as an animated short tribute chronicling the rich 75-year history of the character, it was announced today by Kevin Tsujihara, Chief Executive Officer, Warner Bros. Entertainment.

First appearing in the comic book Action Comics #1, dated June 1938, Superman quickly became a cultural icon, winning fans around the world in live-action and animated form in nearly every known entertainment medium. In feature films, TV shows, radio, video games, publishing and merchandise, he has battled some of the greatest villains ever created in his endless pursuit of truth, justice and the American way.

Man of Steel director Zack Snyder is collaborating with Bruce W. Timm and Warner Bros. on a new Superman short film, in conjunction with the 75th Anniversary of this iconic superhero. The studio has released a logo that will be used on all of its Superman-themed products and initiatives, which you can take a look at below.

No story details have been confirmed for the two-minute short, but insiders claim it will be one continuous shot without edits. The short will pay homage to the various incarnations of Superman throughout the years, including Max Fleischer's cartoons, film performances by George Reeves and Christopher Reeve, iconic versions drawn by artists Wayne Boring, Curt Swan and Neal Adams, and Henry Cavill's interpretation in Man of Steel. Warner Bros. and DC are planning on showing an animatic version of the short at San Diego Comic-Con 2013, before it debuts this fall in multiple platforms.

The first trailer for Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's animated DC comics film Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is now available for you to watch. The story is based on Geoff Johns' graphic novel Flashpoint, and the story centers on the Flash who wakes up devoid of his super powers. It looks like it could be a decent movie. I'm sure we'll get a chance to check it out at Comic-Con this year.

When time travel allows a past wrong to be righted for Flash and his family, the event’s temporal ripples prove disastrous, creating a fractured, alternate reality where the Justice League never formed, and even Superman is nowhere to be found. Amidst a new world being ravaged by a fierce war between Wonder Woman’s Amazons and Aquaman’s Atlanteans, Flash must team with a grittier, more violent Batman and government agent Cyborg to restore the continuity of Flash’s original timeline.

With 2013 being the 75th anniversary of Superman and Man of Steel scheduled to come out this summer it was a forgone conclusion DC would release their emblematic direct to home media animated feature this year. DC certainly has been more successful than their marvelous competition at translating their classic stories to this format. Superman: Unbound however, ends up being a mediocre entry for this franchise. With a limited scope and a stereotypical plot it adds nothing to the Superman mythos. It feels less like an extended feature and more like a pilot episode of an upcoming television series. The animation and voice acting are both handled with care, but neither is given that much to work with. The...

Upstream Color Shane Carruth's new film found its way into 43 theaters and grossed $352,400 over the course of 31 days and now the self-distributed picture finds its way to DVD and Blu-ray. I've already discussed the film and its meaning on more than one occasion (here and here) and certainly recommend you give it a look. I'm not entirely sure it is a film you simply must buy, but I'm certain those of you intrigued by its mysteries will enjoy diving in yourselves.

 

The Rabbi's Cat Perhaps the best animated film released last year, The Rabbi's Cat was ignored by the Academy in favor of studio features. No surprise considering the worst Pixar film to date actually ended up winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.

This week: Tom Cruise proves naysayers wrong yet again in the above-average thriller "Jack Reacher," which was shot entirely in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is based on Lee Child's 2005 mystery novel, "One Shot."

Also new this week is the horror hit "Mama" with Jessica Chastain, the Nicholas Sparks adaptation "Safe Haven" with Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough and the Blu-ray 3D conversion of "Gamer" with Gerard Butler.

'Jack Reacher'

Box Office: $80 million

Rotten Tomatoes: 61% Fresh

Storyline: After five people are shot to death along a riverside Pittsburgh trail, a man is arrested and writes only one message: "Get Jack Reacher." Tom Cruise plays Reacher, an ex-military investigator who lives off the grid and ascertains that the accused has been framed. Reacher teams up with the accused's defense attorney (Rosamund Pike) to figure out who is really behind the shootings on the North Shore Trail and whether or not...

“Superman: Unbound” is the 16th movie from DC now under the DC Animated Universe name, and like all of those that came before it, it is another solid entry into their series of direct to disc films. Based on the Action Comics story arc “Brainiac” by Geoff Johns, the comic aimed to retcon the villain a bit as well as return him to being a true threat to the Man of Steel. The fifth movie to star Superman, this one takes a well known villain and some classic story elements and creates a well written drama filled with action and emotion. Brainiac is a villain that has gone through many incarnations over the decades. When he first appeared he was a green skinned guy in short pants and a purple top with some mental abilities and a force field, which is the look he held all the way til “Superfriends...

Superman: Unbound is based on the 2008 comic book miniseries “Brainiac” by DC Entertainment creative head Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank. The story re-imagines the titular Brainiac – one of Superman’s most iconic villains – as an alien-turned-cybernetic organism seeking to catalogue and control countless alien cities, which he shrinks down and keeps as mementos aboard his ship, before destroying the very planet he robbed.

When a Brainiac probe droid lands on Earth, Superman intercepts it and learns from his cousin, Supergirl, that Brainiac once attacked Krypton and made off with the city of Kandor – an attack Supergirl barely survived. Determined to free Kandor and stop Braniac, Superman flies off into space; however, Brainiac is stronger and more cunning than the Man of Steel could’ve imagined, leaving Metropolis vulnerable for theft, and Earth facing destruction.

Haven’t gotten enough of the big blue boy scout in animated form yet? Good, cause here’s a new clip from his latest direct-to-dvd original animated adventure, “Superman: Unbound”, along with two interview clips, one featuring “White Collar” star Matt Bomer (as the voice of Superman) and the other with “Castle’s” Stana Katic, voicing the rather odd looking Lois Lane (is it me or does Lois have purple eyes in this movie?). Apparently it’s really tough being the Man of Steel. It’s a good thing he can deflect bullets and fly. That should come in handy when he wants to chill out after a good argument with the missus.

Braniac and his robotic cronies are merciless in their attack on aliens and humans alike and the animation makes no great effort to hide fatalities." Superman: Unbound is the 16th DC Animated Universe (Dcau) from Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment. Based on the 2008 story-arc, Superman: Braniac from Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, the adaptation is not a panel for panel recreation of that story. Instead, the film picks and chooses which elements of the five-issue story to embrace and leaves the rest on the cutting room floor. This is something Supervising Producer James Tucker said would occur during his tenure atop the animation branch of WB. Of course, longtime Dcau fans will know that aside from The Dark Knight Returns, no other Dcau film was a panel for panel adaptation but what...

Based on the Geoff Johns / Gary Frank 2008 release Superman: Brainiac, Superman: Unbound finds the Man of Steel aptly handling day-to-day crime while helping acclimate Supergirl to Earth's customs and managing Lois Lane's expectations for their relationship. Personal issues take a back seat when the horrific force responsible for the destruction of Krypton - Brainiac - begins his descent upon Earth. Brainiac has crossed the universe, collecting cities from interesting planets - including Supergirl's home city of Kandor - and now the all-knowing, ever-improving android has his sights fixed on Metropolis. Superman must summon all of his physical and intellectual resources to protect his city, the love of his life and his newly-arrived cousin.

Yesterday was Stana Katic's birthday. She voices Lois Lane in this animated adventure. To celebrate, she joined John Noble as Brianiac for a series of video interviews, which were released along with four new photos.

Today, Stana Katic of "Castle" fame, celebrates her 35th birthday. Not only is it her birthday, but she stopped by the DC Animation studios to talk about her role as Lois Lane in Superman: Unbound.

Here's a new film clip and a few new photos from DC Entertainment's latest animated comic book adventure Superman: Unbound. The clip takes place very early on in the movie, and it features Molly Quinn (Castle) as Supergirl saving Lois Lane (Stana Katic) from a group that has kidnapped her. I'm not sure how well this movie is going to received by fans. I liked aspects of it but didn't like others. All-in-all I thought it was entertaining, but I'll never watch it again.

The movie is partially based on the Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's 2008 Action Comics storyline "Brainiac." Also starring is the film is Matt Bomer (White Collar) as the voice of Clark Kent/Superman, and John Noble (Fringe) as Brainiac.

I watched the movie up at WonderCon a few weeks ago, and it was actually quite entertaining. The story and script were solid, but the animation was really weak this time around. 

The movie is partially based on the Geoff Johns and Gary Frank 2008 Action Comics storyline "Brainiac." Matt Bomer (White Collar) is the voice of Clark Kent/Superman, Stana Katic (Castle) plays Lois Lane, and Molly Quinn (Castle) is Supergirl with John Noble (Fringe) as Brainiac.

And it’s not a happy meeting, from the looks of it. In fact, fists are swung and asses are whupped. And it’s not Brainiac’s, in case you were wondering.
