Recently we got a cool peek at Kilowog from Martin Campbell's "Green Lantern". Now we get a better look at Tomar-Re, unless you were one of those lucky people who was able to check him out in the teaser footage they showed off at this year's Comic-Con.

Tomar was a scientist on the planet Xudar before joining the Green Lantern Corps. He became a pivotal member of the Corps, training new members, like Arisia, and serving in the Honor Guard. He investigated reports of abuses of power by Sinestro on Korugar. He was close friends with Abin Sur, Green Lantern of neighboring sector 2814. He was also the first Lantern to meet Sur's replacement, Hal Jordan, and the two got along equally well. In the Post-Crisis timeline, that friendship is deepened further in that the rookie Jordan met him soon after being recruited. Jordan was brought to him by his power ring to help with his difficulties with handling the weapon and Tomar-Re not only guided the Terran to GLC headquarters for the optional training program, but also provided valuable emotional support during this difficult time.

During the Batman: Brave And The Bold panel, creators Brandon Vietti and Greg Weissman got a chance to show off some character designs and footage from their upcoming animated series Young Justice, as well as dish on a few of the details.

We saw the footage, whose animation style resembles previous animated DC efforts like Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, and takes a more grounded and realistic approach to the DC Universe. The Young Justice team will operate as something of an undercover unit designed to combat the increasingly efficient super-villains, as the Justice League's high profile prevents them from stopping more and more criminal. The cast includes the following;

• Robin/Dick Grayson - Jesse McCartney
• Kid Flash/Wally West - Jason Spizak
• Aqualad - Khary Payton
• Superboy/Connor Kent - Nolan North
• Miss Martian - Danica McKellar

The Justice League, 16 members large, will play an important role in the series.  Rob Lowe will voice Captain Marvel, an important recurring role. Also appearing are Batman (Bruce Greenwood), Aquaman (Phil LaMarr), Green Arrow (Alan Tudyk),  Wonder Woman, Superman, Hawkgirl, Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, Hal Jordan, Flash, Zatara, Captain Atom, Black Canary, John Stewart, and Red Tornado.

Shown above are some carded images for Hasbro’s upcoming 6th wave of 3.75″ Marvel Universe figures for 2010. Marvel Universe Wave 6 includes the following:

• Constrictor
• Hawkeye (Dark Avengers)
• Iron Man 2020
• Thanos
• Yellow Jacket with Mini Antman

The Full set is available for Pre-Order from BigBadToyStore

Based on Superman/Batman #8-13 by Jeph Loeb and Michael Turner, the film deals with the sudden appearance of Supergirl and the attempts by Darkseid to hold sway over the newest Kryptonian to come to Earth. Purists will be happy to note that Tim Daly voices Superman, Kevin Conroy returns as Batman, and Susan Eisenberg as Wonder Woman.

Superman/Batman: Apocalypse [Blu-ray] on September 28, 2010.

When Grindhouse was released in theaters, it was a double feature featuring Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror, Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, and a few faux trailers at the beginning and in between. When the films were released on DVD, they were distributed as separate movies, with the trailers omitted from both releases (with the exception of Machete). Last month it was finally revealed that the full Grindhouse release would hit stores on October 5th 2010.

After Bruce Wayne finishes bouncing around time in October he is going to find himself back in a Gotham City just ever so slightly different than the one he left. We'll find out in Bruce Wayne: The Road Home, a series of 8 one shot issues, each showcasing a different part of Bruce's life. The one shots will be done by the likes of Adam Beechen, Fabian Nicieza, Mike Barr, Pere Perez, Ramon Bachs, Marc Andreyko, Cliff Richards and Bryan Q. Miller.

But the coolest part? Shane Davis' 8 covers form Voltron one giant interlocking image. The original piece is massive, DC has posted a photograph of Shane Davis standing next to his work. I take back everything I said about Gimmick covers ... at least its not polybaged with a limited edition trading card (Rob Liefeld!!).

During Comic-Con Geoff Johns told us that we’d be seeing several of our favorite Lanterns, including the massive and awesome Kilowog. Well, today we get our first look at the being from space sector 674.

As you probably already know by now Chris Evans has a great role in the upcoming Edgar Wright film Scott Pilgrim Vs The World in which he plays Lucas Lee, Ramona Flowers’ Evil Ex boyfriend #2, who is a former pro-skater turned hilariously bad film actor.  I love that they use the infmaous “Blue/Orange” movie poster motif!
