The real summer of Comic Book Movies is here!
Movies!
Seriously, I am damn near sure this is the summer with the most comic-adaptions of all time. I may even be missing some TV stuff.
Direct-To-Video
Animated Series
So a lot is coming up in the world of Animation. Note that Netflix is beginning to host all of Marvel's previous animated works, including the recent Marvel Knights motion comics and the 1960s Filmation series. Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is set to be added sometime in the summer.
I will update this OP a bit later with notable Videogame info.

Showtime buys Chew script
It better not sit in a drawer for a decade like preacher!
Green Lantern had me convinced it would be like the star wars prequels; very pretty with lots of neat CGI work and fun action with not that great a story/writing. But the more recent theatrical trailer I saw with Thor has me rethinking that. I still don't see it being the "Iron Man" DC/WB wants it to be.
X-Men is the one I am most excited for. Two weeks, and I am pants-crappingly excited. Sure I understand the gripes with continuity with the other films and stuff not being exactly "right", but I like it when something doesn't follow the story to the letter. I like a little re-invention if it isn't awful like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. But I'm not sure about the whole Xavier/Mystique childhood friends angle.
Anywho, I saw this a while ago and I loved it. It's a sixties styled title sequence for First Class that is pretty neat. Try to place the music.

The shot of Bacon/Shaw is oddly sinister with that music.
But my gut tells me that Captain America will come out on top of all of them.

That is one cool video

Straight to DVD you say?
Poor Vinnie Jones. That somehow looks worse than The Cape.
Edit: It looks like the 90s threw up on its shoes. Horrible flash backs to Mutant X.
My thoughts exactly, for shame Michael Clarke Duncan.
And here's how streets ahead they were in virally releasing it.

It would get its ass handed to it by Transformers.
Man...every trailer they release for this psychs me more and more for this movie
I kinda feel like that's the first trailer that hasn't been made for pre-existing GL comic fans. It makes me feel an awful lot better about the movie's chances of success now that it doesn't seem to be relying mostly on 'geek cred' the way the last couple of spots suggested.
That is a very good trailer for saying everything you need to know about the GL mythos. I think I might be more excited for GL now than Captain America.
Two observations:
Notice that the Guardian's citadel has nine spires for the nine Guardians and a place where a tenth spire once stood but has been destroyed. Going to guess that's a Geoff Johns contribution and is an indication of Krona's existence in the movie universe.
It would be our patriotic duty as Americans to see Captain America, show those commie robots whats what.
The belt's a bit too big but I don't know, maybe it's Palicki smiling and it's summer now but it seems fine. Somehow short shorts looks better than shiny pants (the jeans looked good with the tweaks).
I feel quite bad for Palicki. This would have been a big chance for her, that it didn't get picked up must have been a real disappointment.
That thing looks both very cheap, and very ill-fitting.
I mean, I respect the attempt to recreate the traditional costume, but what works as a drawing, doesn't always (or often) work in live action. It's not like movie-Batman looks anything like comic-Batman.

Incidentally since this is the movie thread I really liked that film and it was one of the first times that I also dug Wonder Woman as a character. I think maybe they made her a little more adventurous and down to earth than her dialogue in comics makes her out to be (which is what the Wonder Woman in my head is like), but in any case, liked the movie, liked her in it.
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
it's Brave and the Bold
of course they will
Steaaaaaaam

The only problem with that is they don't work for the first two weeks of a release.
I keep trying to judge the costume, but I can't think of anything besides Powder and Wonder Woman teamup!
Man, where the hell do you live?
I've always wondered why nobody ever packs a shotgun when expecting WW. It would take her down in a second.
