Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Deluxe Edition coming to Blu-Ray this October

It goes without saying that the two-part DC Universe Animated Original Movie that is "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" was a great adaptation, if not one of the best Batman animated movies to hit home video and digital media. Split into Part 1 and Part 2, both movies were mostly faithful to the original 1986 limited series turned graphic novel by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson, and the story helped redefine Batman for the modern age and brought the Caped Crusader back to his dark roots. I personally loved both films and added them to my collection... But this new announcement by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment  kinda makes me interested to revisit it, and entices newbies to look into the epic saga of an aged Batman coming out of retirement.

Escape Plan: Stallone and Schwarzenegger team up to escape a tough prison

Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Rambo and Commando.

Rocky and The Terminator.

They're two of the biggest names in Action Hero film history, and back in the day, made a lot of people want to see the films they starred in just by their names alone. They've appeared together for the first time thanks to Stallone's testosterone action hero love letter team up film that was The Expendables and it's sequel, The Expendables 2. However, Schwarzenegger's role there was more of a cameo than a co-star, so it technically doesn't count.

All that changes this year however, as Sly and Ahnold have to work side-by-side to escape the toughest prison ever built, in a new action thriller that'll test their skills and limits - Escape Plan.

Via IGN, here's the very first trailer to the film.

Riding with the winds of anticipation, promotions for the next chapter in Peter Jackson's Hobbit Trilogy are in full swing, and the latest issue of Empire magazine has on the cover the three Elves that will appear in "The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug" - namely Legolas, Thranduil, and Tauriel.

For more information on the cover, visit the source post at Empire and Superherohype.

Marvel Movies: Joss Whedon teases Iron Man for The Avengers 2

After Marvel successfully cast back Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/ Iron Man in The Avengers 2 and The Avengers 3, director Joss Whedon isn't pulling the stops in teasing things to come for Earth's Mightiest Heroes in 2015. Stopping by The Colbert Report this week, the director discusses some things on what fans can expect from Ol' Shellhead in the teamup sequel, as well as what the fallout from this year's Iron Man 3 would mean for the armored avenger.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: William Fitchner is your new Shredder

Looks like the guy playing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' nemesis The Shredder has been revealed for the 2014 reboot, and it's a well-known actor who's played notable roles in previous films like Armageddon and Heat (and a short cameo appearance in The Dark Knight).

Here he is. William Fitchner is your new Shredder.

The news broke out via an interview with The Huffington Post in Canada. Some speculation was added as well and there were theories he could be playing another role in the upcoming film, but it's been confirmed he'll be the bad guy and main antagonist against the heroes in a half shell. For more information, visit the source post at Screen Rant.

TMNT, directed by Jonathan Liebesmen, is expected to arrive in theaters next year on June 6, 2014.

Marvel Movies: Robert Downey Jr. will officially return as Iron Man for The Avengers 2 & 3

After rumors, speculation, and wonder as to what the future of Tony Stark and Iron Man would be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Robert Downey Jr.'s latest adventure this year with Iron Man 3, Marvel has officially given the word:

RDJ WILL RETURN AS TONY STARK IN THE AVENGERS 2 & THE AVENGERS 3.

That being said, that clears up the worries and we'll be seeing more RDJ/ Tony with Earth's Mightiest Heroes starting with the 2015 sequel to the 2012 blockbuster team up that was "The Avengers".

No word on whether  RDJ's suiting up for more solo Iron Man adventures, but this is already awesome news as it is. Maybe somewhere down along the line, but with the other big guns of Marvel, that's a great start for Downey's comeback as Ol' Shellhead.

Beware The Batman gets a trailer and premiere date

Fans who have been looking forward to the new series "Beware The Batman" can finally rest easy, as a new trailer has popped up confirming the premiere of the series to come this July!

The CGI animation tv show, which pairs Batman with new sidekick Katana and his ex-secret agent butler Alfred Pennyworth, will see the Caped Crusader fighting crime and taking on the likes of Professor Pyg, Ra's Al Ghul, and the mysterious Anarky. The show will be the newest Batman cartoon since Batman: Brave and the Bold, and will premiere under the DC Nation block of shows based on characters from the DC Universe.

The Amazing Spider-Man: Mary Jane won't appear in ASM2; Two more sequels dated for 2016 and 2018

Looks like fans of looking forward to Mary Jane Watson's debut in Marc Webb's Spider-Man film reboot universe will have to wait a little longer, as the character has been confirmed to not appear in next year's upcoming sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

In a report by Superherohype coming from an interview conducted by Entertainment Weekly with MJ actress Shailene Woodley, the filmmakers have decided to cut scenes involving Peter Parker's other love interest from the 2014 film, instead reserving her appearance for the third and fourth Spidey films, which were already given the go ahead and confirmed for a 2016 and 2018 respectively.

Spider-Man: Ben Reilly returns in Scarlet Spider #21?

Comic book covers have been known to have truth or "red herring" moments to them, but Spider-Man fans who've kept up with the web-slinger's adventures over the years may want to take a look at this one for an upcoming issue of "Scarlet Spider".

Yes. It's him apparently. Peter Parker's clone and the 90's Spider-Man, Ben Reilly, apparently back from the dead and facing the new and current Scarlet Spider, Kaine. Marvel Comics artist Ryan Stegman recently revealed via his deviantArt the cover to "Scarlet Spider #21", and it shows Mr. Reilly back as the first Scarlet Spider.

While the original Peter is currently "gone" and Otto "Doc Ock" Octavius taking over his life in the pages of "Superior Spider-Man", ghosts from the 90's "Clone Saga" appear to be coming back, with this cover to Scarlet Spider #21 seemingly confirming the original Scarlet Spider's return with his trademark hoodie blue jacket and impact webbing to boot. Nobody can tell what's in store for Kaine as he faces his "brother", but it could be something else happening entirely in the issue. We'll just have to wait and see when it comes out.

The Avengers 2: Loki won't be returning according to Joss Whedon

Looks like fans of Marvel's God of Mischief won't be seeing their favorite trickster back for The Avengers 2.

During his guesting at the Empire Podcast and reported via a post in Bleeding Cool, Joss Whedon confirmed and silenced the persisting rumors that fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe would see the return of Tom Hiddleston as "Loki" for the sequel to the 2012 superhero team blockbuster movie, where he played the main antagonist for the film.

Lifted from the podcast and article, Whedon remarked:

 "Everyone is going to be looking for the Loki-Hulk smash moment [in Avengers 2] and you’ll be looking for quim. First of all, imitating what I did before is the surest way to do it not as well. Second of all, Loki’s not there to say those terrible things. Although I do think we should bring the word back. Not as an insult, it’s just a nice word."

Well, there you have it. No Loki for The Avengers 2. At least he'll be coming back for Thor: The Dark World. For more info, read more from the source post at Bleeding Cool.
