Marvel teases an Ambitious Series featuring Kurt Busiek, Alex Ross, and Yildiray Cinar for May 2020

Marvel is teasing something big coming this May 2020, and it's described as "The Most Ambitious Series To Ever Hit The Marvel Universe" - with "Marvels" creators Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross teaming up with artist Yildiray Cinar for the project.

Featured by Comic Book Resources, the artwork tease features a mix of Marvel Legends new and old, with Golden Age heroes like Aarkus to mainstays like Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Storm, and Punisher, and new heroes like Aero too.

How this exactly ties to anything is anyone's guess, but the Marvels nostalgia has been getting some attention with "Marvels X" serving as a prequel series to that classic book and then last year's Marvel's Epilogue one-shot being released too. Time will tell how this plays out.

DC Universe is repeating history by letting viewers decide if Jaosn Todd lives or dies in "Titans"

History repeats itself... And it's up to you viewers whether Batman's greatest failure will be reinterpreted in a popular live-action TV Series.

According to Comic Book Resources, DC Universe is sending a poll out to viewers of "Titans" that decides whether or not Jason Todd, the latest Robin and played by Curran Walters, will live or die after the cliffhanger fall he had in the latest episode of the series through the hands of Deathstroke. While it doesn't play out like the original 1988 Batman storyline "A Death in the Family" where The Joker is responsible, it still is left to the fans what his ultimate fate will be.

Check out Titans to see how that turns out. (Update, here's the spoiler via Comic Book.com).

Dark Days announced by DC Comics for the DC Rebirth era

The first "Big Event" news for the Rebirth era of DC Comics is on hand, as the publisher revealed via its recently June solicitations (as seen in Newsarama) that their "warm up" to the big storyline will happen with two one shots entitled "Dark Days" - written by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV, with artwork by Jim Lee, Andy Kubert, John Romita Jr., and more. "Dark Days: The Forge" happens on June 14, while "Dark Days: The Casting" will be released on July 12.

The cover to "The Forge" looks to be centered around The Dark Knight detective himself - Batman. While no specifics were given on what the plot is for "Dark Days" - it is according to CBR set to "reveal the dark underbelly of the DCU" and lead on to an unspecified DC Event.

Marvel releases "United We Stand" Secret Empire teaser poster

After previously revealing the title of their next big event that somehow involves Steve Rogers/ Captain America and current events in the Marvel Universe, Marvel (via Comic Book Resources) has released a brand new teaser poster for "Secret Empire" - showing the words "United We Stand" and all the prominent hero characters so far - Spider-Man, Cap, Old Man Logan, Deadpool, Black Bolt, Rocket Raccoon, Black Widow, Black Panter, and Captain Marvel to name a few.

 How this plays out is anyone's guess, but with the Marvel Universe involved and Hydra Cap still working in secret, it's bound to play out in some way or form. Let's just wait and see.

Marvel announces "Secret Empire" event for 2017 featuring Captain America

After recently releasing a trailer that detailed the new Hydra status quo of one reinvigorated yet tainted Steve Rogers, Marvel Comics has released an image of what appears to be their next big event storyline called "Secret Empire" - which puts Captain America in the middle of things as in the current "Captain America: Steve Rogers" comic book - he is an Agent of HYDRA who is manipulating things from behind the scenes and is working to a big endgame. Reported by Bleeding Cool, it's still up in the air as to how this event will play out in the bigger Marvel Universe, but as CBR points out the term "Secret Empire" also harkens to a division of HYDRA that has existed in stories before... And this new division could be Hydra Cap's own brainchild to put his plans in motion.

No release date has been given for Secret Empire, but expect it sometime in 2017 for sure.

The Dark Knight Trilogy: CBR's "9 Worst Decisions" Batman made in the TDK Films

We all know that Christopher Nolan's Batman films that make up "The Dark Knight Trilogy" were masterpieces and blockbusters that have entertained and presented a version of the Caped Crusader that was grounded on reality. Christian Bale embodied a more realistic interpretation of Bruce Wayne and Batman, and it was a self-contained set of films that wrapped up a journey of a man who wanted to inspire people to make a difference and fight injustice.

However, Spinoff Online (via CBR) has also compiled a list where The Dark Knight has made some pretty bad decisions... 9 of them in fact. You can read 'em here, starting from the ones seen in Batman Begins all the way to The Dark Knight and finally for The Dark Knight Rises.

Avengers: Age of Ultron: "Final Trailer" released

DC Comics debuts new costumes for Superman and Wonder Woman

Post-Covergence, it looks like the Man of Steel and Amazon Princess are getting new makeovers along with The Dark Knight... And they look all too familiar and somewhat like rehashes of former ideas.

Coming off their two-month hiatus event, DC Comics is planning to give two of their Big Guns, Superman and Wonder Woman, makeovers that will make them virtually different than they're usually depicted as. Comic Book Resources reported the news, coming from stories in The Nerdist, Uproxx, and Hitflix.

Superman will be sporting a look that harkens back to his DC New 52 debut with a T-Shirt and Jeans, but minus the cape and with a new logo that is a throwback to his original appearance. It's a look that will debut in the pages of Action Comics #41. Very Superboy Pre-New 52 in appearance minus the color scheme differences, and yes the haircut makes it obvious as well. The bloody hands? We'll just have to wait and see how that goes.

Wonder Woman on the other hand will be wearing a new armor piece with daggers on her forearms come Wonder Woman #41. It's a new look that makes it appear that the kids gloves are off for Diana, and she's taking her fight against evil to the next level.

Both members of DC's "Power Couple" will also team up together with their new looks in Superman/ Wonder Woman #18, so one has to wonder how this dynamic will work.

And The Man Of Steel will also have words with "Chappie/ Appleseed" Batman come "Batman/ Superman #21", so how will the "World's Finest" interact with each other? And is that still Bruce Wayne in the Batsuit or someone else?

Find out in June when DC Comics brings these new changes.

Marvel teases "Civil War" and "Age of Ultron/ Marvel Zombies" crossovers for 2015

After announcing to the world in this past weekend's New York Comic Con that they were going to bring a new "Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars" crossover event in May 2015, Marvel is further upping the ante by teasing even MORE events that revisit past ones and may further establish that something big is going to go down next year, where Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters and more of the Marvel Universe's landscape changes drastically.

The teaser seen on top (via Superherohype) of course is revisiting the classic 2006-2007 comic book event called "Civil War", which was written by Mark Millar and illustrated by Steve McNiven. The event saw a "Superhero Registration Act" enacted that divided the hero community and saw Iron Man champion the pro-registration team while Captain America rebelled and fought with the anti-registration side. Spider-Man was caught in the middle, and initially sided with Iron Man until tragic events made him defect to Cap's side. Unfortunately he revealed his secret identity to the world, and lots of changes were done to the Marvel Universe when all was said and done.

How this 2015 teaser speaks about revisiting a classic, we'll just have to wait and see.

On the flip side, Marvel also released a teaser image of a "Age of Ultron/ Marvel Zombies" crossover (via CBR).

What does it all mean? Again, we will find out soon enough from the House of Ideas themselves.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Grooting is officially a word

Yes, because of the popularity of "Dancing Baby Groot" and the Awesome Mix movie that is James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy", the word "Grooting" has now officially been added to the Lexicon, and it's defined as "to move tree-rhythmically to the Jackson 5", as reported in Comic Book Resources.

And with that said, plus it being the 56th Birthday of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson himself, let's revisit that special "Dance Sequence" with little Groot... And Drax.

DC The New 52: Selina Kyle's new look from Batman #28 set to debut on Catwoman #35

Change is coming to the world of Batman on the year of his 75th Anniversary, and if you've been following the events of the Caped Crusader's numerous titles and the new weekly series Batman: Eternal, then you'd have seen the seeds planted that will vastly affect his network and allies, including a certain female love interest and cat burglar who will take on a new role very soon.

Straight out of the previews for the October 2014 solicitations for DC Comics, the ongoing adventures of Selina Kyle in her very own "Catwoman" series for The New 52 universe takes a new direction, with the feline femme fatale becoming the new Kingpin of Gotham City as seen in the "Sneak Peek" one shot issue of Batman #28.

Beginning in Catwoman #35, the new creative team of Genevieve Valentine and Garry Brown will take over the title, showing how Selina slips into her new "Mob Boss" persona and dictates a new status quo that will affect her relationship with Batman, her allies, and the entire city of Gotham.
