Even though we haven’t seen any early reviews of this weekends Star Wars Clone Wars movie, Lucas doesn’t have the greatest track record in our recent memory. Rest assured that this video clip of Boba Fett doing a Flash Dance like routine will not disappoint.

Way back in 1986 DC Comics released a set of promotional posters for the upcoming Watchmen series. Twenty two years later those posters are released again in a live action format. Plasmic Studio has a great page set up with rollover effects so you can see the original fade into the new version. It’s easy to see from these that they are aiming for the look of Watchmen. Now let’s hope that they capture the essence as well.

You’ve seen him insult the Star Wars geeks, but here is a brutal attack from Triumph the Insult Dog while attending San Diego Comic-Con 2008.

Yesterday was the Watchmen panel at SDCC. The hall was packed and the entire cast of Watchmen was there. The best part was the exclusive footage that we got to see for the first time. Even though there is no way that all of the book can be fit into the movie, the look and feel of it is spectacular. One of the coolest scenes is the one where Dr. Manhattan blows up vietcong with the pointing of his finger. In the trailer they blow up less graphically. In the actual version there is blood, guts, and bone flying everywhere. Due to copyright reasons the exclusive footage is not allowed online yet, but enjoy the Q and A with the cast and crew. Snyder and Crudup are quite the funny men.

I usually don’t spaz out like a fan boy over announcements or previews. However, The Watchmen trailer managed to reduce me to a giddy little fan boy. Confession time - I can’t stop watching the trailer. I know that there is no way to fit all of the nuances of the graphic novel into the movie, but I think it will stand on its own. In other Watchmen news, be sure to get the newly released Watchmen motion comic!

Just listened to a great interview with Nolan and Bale on NPR’s Fresh Air. Among other things they discuss Heath Ledgers performance and the diservice done to him by those that claim the character overcame him.

The Dark Knight lived up to its hype. The latest installment in the Batman film series set records with its opening weekend, taking in an estimated $155 million at the box office. Spider-Man 3 previously held the record, taking in $151 million last year.

If you bought the special edition of Batman Begins on BluRay you got to see the first six minutes of The Dark Knight. For those that missed it, here it is.

To celebrate the launch of the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight, we are going to post a review of the first thirty issues of Batman every day up to the release. So, be sure to check back on Thursday June 19th for the first installment when we review Detective Comics #27.

The latest incarnation of The Incredible Hulk took in a little over $54 million domestically this weekend. So, now that the gamma dust has settled, what did you think about it? Was it better than the Ang Lee film? What do the hardcore fans think about the references to the super soldier serum? For me it was kind of middle of the road, but the group I watched it with, whom had little or no background on the big green guy thought it was pretty good. Could it be that this Hulk has better mass appeal?

They can’t all be as good as Iron Man. Maybe I’m wrong, but the Punisher War Zone trailer does not look good. This is the third attempt at the Punisher franchise. When will they learn to just adapt a Garth Ennis story?
