Love Batman, Jimmy Olsen & his Giant Superman Robot, Flash Go Go Go and BotP Robin. Are they all perfect or what? Apparently this was a pitch that almost got greenlit a couple years ago. That would’ve been awesome.

AMC has debuted the trailer for “The Walking Dead” Season 2, which premieres on October 16.

Filming is currently underway for the second season of AMC’s hit zombie show and, damn, things are sure looking amazing! I don’t think they’d veer quite so far from the comics, the whole cast looks fuckin’ miserable, and that’s what makes Walking Dead so dope!
