Know more about your new Superman - Henry Cavill!

The news sprang like wildfire as soon as it hit the web, and now people know who will be DC and Warner Bros. new Superman! However, the man chosen for the lead role was once dubbed the "most unlucky man in Hollywood", but he's certainly gotten lucky with his new starring role!


Based on reports on Slash Film and Superherohype, we finally have a new face who will don the familiar red and blue costume of Superman. British actor Henry Cavill has been selected to play Clark Kent/ Superman in Zack Snyder's upcoming reboot film Superman: Man of Steel, which is expected to arrive in theaters on December 2012. While he is relatively unfamiliar to most people, Cavill was once attached to actually play Superman before in the movie Superman: Flyby by director McG. When plans were scrapped and Bryan Singer took over to make Superman Returns, Cavill was replaced by Brandon Routh to play The Man of Steel.

Cavill was also one of the top contenders to play James Bond in Casino Royale, a role that ultimately went to felow British actor Daniel Craig because the former was too young for the producers of the film. He was therefore labeled the "most unlucky man in Hollywood" by Empire Magazine in 2005, and things seemed to dangle downwards from there. Robert Pattinson even beat Cavill twice for two parts: One as Cedric in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and as Edward Cullen in the Twilight series! Inevitably, Cavill got roles in Stardust, The Tudors, and has an upcoming part in a big budget movie called Immortals as Theseus. Who would have thought he'd get his big chance again by being selected once more to play Superman! For more on the announcement, visit Slash Film and Superherohype!

Superman: Man of Steel is slated to fly and save the world on December, 2012!

A First Look at DC's "Flashpoint" Poster!

In case you missed it, DC has releases the first pencils of what looks to be the first cover/ poster promoting their next big event this summer - "Flashpoint". Penned by legendary writer Geoff Johns and illustrated by Andy Kubert, this five issue miniseries will chronicle the drastic time altering changes in the DC Universe that affect our world, and it ties directly to an event involving The Flash. In effect, everyone and anyone you know in the DCU won't be the same. Next to the main story, a series of tie-ins have been announced, expanding the tale and giving readers a chance to catch up with their favorite characters... who are barely recognizable at this point.

Humor: See How Blanka Recharges!

Right after booting up and going online, I had to bear witness to this grotesque sight:

Bear in mind, I'm not a big fan of Pokemon, but Pikachu is and forever will be the mascot of the series everyone around the world can identify with. I just couldn't imagine that Street Fighter's own Blanka would chew on the poor sap and drain his power to give the beast from Brazil a nice fresh charge of Electricity! The fiend! Ash must be mourning his little friend by now!XD

This hilarious and sick image, "Recharging", was featured in Kotaku and is done by banzanza!

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Update: Leaked images of Sentinel, Hsien-Ko, and Galactus appear.

I would normally take this with a grain of salt, but with the impending release date fast approaching us, it looks like the "final" two slots that complete the final full roster of Marvel vs Capcom 3 have been filled up by characters Hsien-Ko and Sentinel, whose appearance has yet to be officially confirmed by Capcom. Yet magazine shots have leaked online and have been posted in numerous sites, including Destructoid and Event Hubs, showing Sentinel in action and Hsien-Ko's shot at the Character Select screen. Also, character images show Galactus present, which means he could be one of the big bosses players will take on or use in the game! We'll just have to wait and see how this trickles down.
