Smallville returns for 11th Season... In Novel form.

Those of you lucky enough (or unlucky depending on your expectations) to see the final episode and season of Smallville saw Tom Welling "complete the circle" and don the familiar red, blue, and yellow tights that signify his transformation into Superman. While we all thought that was done and put to rest, apparently the adventure will still continue... But NOT in television that is.

Coming from a report at Bleeding Cool and Comic Book Movie, it appears that a new novel is being prepped and dubbed as "the 11th season" for Smallville, picking up where the series was supposed to have ended, where (SPOILER) Chloe Sullivan tells the story of Superman to her son, and Clark races to the rooftop of the Daily Planet and prepares to save the day. It's a similar move done by Buffy The Vampire Slayer (in which continued with Season 8 and 9 in comic book form), and well-known Batgirl and DC Relaunch writer Bryan Q. Miller is set to handle the novel duties, and it will be part of continuity. How the further adventures of Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Oliver Queen, and Chloe Sullivan goes is anybody's guess, but it's safe to say that fans of the show will be picking this one up when it comes out.

No official announcement for the Smallville 11th Season Novel has arrived, but stay tuned for updates soon.

Peter "Robocop" Weller joins Star Trek 2 cast!

You knew him as "The Future of Law Enforcement", and he played the role for two movies. Now, via a report from Variety and Comic Book Movie, actor Peter Weller has been added to the cast of J.J. Abrams' next Star Trek Movie!

A veteran actor, thespian, and director, Weller, 64, is best known for his role as officer Alex Murphy/ Robocop, in the 1987 sci-fi cult classic film of the same name. Like recent addition Alice Eve, details about Weller's role in the next Trek film are still under wraps, but this is arguably both a surprise and welcomed addition, and I'm sure fans who remember Murphy will welcome this legendary screen presence with open arms. If you want a taste of his acting chops, here's a scene of him as Robocop in the final act of the movie!

The Dark Knight Rises: Superb Fanmade Poster by Jamie Brown

Inspired by the works of Hollywood poster artist legend Drew Struzan, an artist by the name of Jamie Brown pieced together this awesome fanmade poster for "The Dark Knight Rises"!

This is not the first though, and many other fanmade posters for TDKR also inspired by Struzan's works have come into the netscape months before, but I'm certainly impressed by the work and composition of this one, and I'm hoping that the actual poster released by Warner Bros. blows us away when it gets released!

The Dark Knight Rises sees release on July 20, 2012!

200 Super Sentai and 40 Kamen Riders unite on 2012!

Next year, for the first time ever, 200 Super Sentai and 40 Kamen Riders unite one movie to bring the Japan "All-Star" team up movie of the new century! Tentatively titled "Super Hero Taisen" (Super Hero War), the movie, slated for a release sometime in 2012, will bring together forces

The Kamen Riders, beginning their legacy with 1971's Kamen Rider, has spawned 39 other shows after the initial series, with the current and 40th one being Kamen Rider Fourze, which is currently ongoing.

The Super Sentai brand, which started the original Super Sentai series Himitsu Sentai Goranger in 1975, has supplied fans with various forms of team and super robot adventures, which have amassed over 200 Sentai troops that include next year's Tokumei Sentai Gobuster.

Both products are the work and legacy of the late great Japanese manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori, whose influence inspired many generations to look up to these heroes, and brought popularity to the sentai and kamen rider names. Confirmed to appear and reprise their roles are Masahiro Inoue as Kamen Rider Decade, Ryota Ozawa as Gokai Red,  and the team of Rina Akiyama/ Naomi, Kenjiro Ishimaru/ Station Manager, and Momotaros from Kamen Rider Den-O!

The Super Sentai/ Kamen Rider team up, to be directed by Osamu Kaneda and released by Toei, will be shown during Japan's Golden Week holidays next year!

Rumor: Benicio del Toro is Khan Noonien Singh in Star Trek 2?

I grew up a big Star Trek fan, and to this day, one of my all time favorite movies is Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, which cemented the reputation of the late Ricardo Montalban as the uber bad-ass villain Khan Noonien Singh, who returned to torment the crew of the U.S.S Enterprise and delivered a crucial blow in the form of Spock's valiant sacrifice to save his friends from the madman's suicide attack. Flash forward almost 30 years later, and that movie is still etched in the hearts of Trekkies around the world, and following the success of J.J. Abrams' 2009 "Star Trek" reboot film, many are hopeful that "KHHHHAAAANNNN" would return in some form or another.

Well as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for, because you might just get it. Rumors are flying around the netscape that actor Benicio del Toro was tapped by Abrams to play a new version of the genetically modified Khan in the rebooted universe, and just by looking at the actor and his resume, you know that he is a strong fit and candidate for the role. I do hope we get official confirmation soon, and I'm all for Del Toro to take up the mantle, he may just surprise us with his performance and give Chris Pine a reason to scream like William Shatner did here for Wrath of Khan:


Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Clip: KHHHHHAAAAANNNN~~~!!

That would be truly epic if this happened, hehe. For more information, visit the source posts at Latino Review and Slash Film.
