Justice League Movie Not Anytime Soon according to DC Entertainment

Diane Nelson has told IGN that DC have no intention of following in the footsteps of Marvel Studios and will instead focus on "standalone experiences" rather than anything like The Avengers...

"People make an assumption that we're going to mirror Marvel's strategy, for example with Avengers," the President of DC Entertainment told IGN Movies in an interview earlier today. "We do have a very different attitude about how you build a content slate. And it isn't necessarily about connecting those properties together to build into a single thing."



And if that wasnt seemingly proof enough that they have no intention of making a Justice League movie anytime soon, Nelson added: "We think we've got great stories and characters that will lend themselves to great standalone experiences, and that's the way we're focusing on it."

"You know, it's funny...I really enjoy the healthy competition that exists but also the competition that people assume and, to some extent, project onto us. There is a healthy competition as there would be in any business. But we do not spend our days thinking about what Marvel is doing," she added when asked about whether or not DC is playing catch-up to Marvel in terms of its feature film output.

She finished by saying that while she's happy that Marvel are doing well, nothing they do influences the decisions made by DC Entertainment. "There is not a single thing we've done that has been reactive to Marvel from the creation of DC Entertainment to today. People can speculate, but they are wrong."

"I don’t know what exactly influenced him, but we were there on that set some and that movie looks like it’s going to be really good." she said in a recent interview with MTV News. "He looks great in it."

"I don’t know," she said when asked if her character would return for any sort of cameo or flashback in Nolan's next batman movie. "I died, so..."

Mark Strong talks about his character Sinestro in the Green Lantern Movie, as well as the other alien Green Lanterns (Tomar-Re & Kilowog)

Green Lantern fans has been privy to the first images of Mark Strong as Sinestro, as well as CGI renderings of Lantern Corps members Tomar-Re and Kilowog. In a brief interview with MTV News, Strong talks about his role in the film:

"[Most of my scenes are in space], indeed, which is why I've come in at the end of shooting. Because now we've moved into the studio and into blue screen — obviously not green screen, because Green Lantern would disappear! We're in blue screen, and most of [my work takes place] in space."

Regarding his thoughts about the alien designs he has seen so far:

"Tomar-Re is in [the movie] and it's an amazing look — kind of half-bird and half-fish. Kilowog is in it and he's a massive, great, big bulldog kind of character. There are others, too, but I won't ruin it."

Of course, fans don't have to wait any longer to see these Green Lantern characters for themselves. Simply follow the links above to get a look at both Tomar-Re and Kilowog.

Another image for an alien Green Lantern surfaces.

Possible first look at a CGI rendering of Tomar-Re, Hal Jordan's spiritual guide, in the DC comics adaptation Green Lantern. Is this what the character will look like in the finished film?






When the live-action Green Lantern film hits theaters next summer, audiences will not only be introduced to the character Hal Jordan (portrayed by Ryan Reynolds), but his "support staff" of alien Lantern Corps members who help him learn the ways of patrolling the universe. The most important three being Thaal Sinestro, Hal's mentor, Kilowog, his drill instructor, and Tomar-Re, who has been dubbed by the film's production department as Hal's 'spiritual guide.'

According to DC comics mythology: Tomar-Re was a scientist on the planet Xudar before joining the Green Lantern Corps. He became a pivotal member of the Corps, training new members and serving in the Honor Guard. He was close friends with Abin Sur, Green Lantern of neighboring sector 2814 and was the first Lantern Corps member to meet his replacement, Hal Jordan.

First Look at Green Lantern Bzzd

It has been reported that thousands of Green Lantern Corps members will cameo in next summer's live action superhero adaptation, of DC's Green Lantern. At least two dozen alien Lanterns will have center stage roles; one of which is Bzzd. For those who aren't familiar with the character, here's a brief bio: Although Bzzd was no bigger then a housefly, his tremendous willpower allowed him to be a capable fighter in the Green Lantern Corps. Bzzd's power was evident in his penchant for creating constructs that were massive in scope when compared to his diminutive size, like locomotives and full scale roller coasters. 

And here is your first (albeit unfinished) look at the character, who happens to be a favorite of the film's director, Martin Campbell: 

'Abin Sur' Set Piece In Green Lantern Movie

Visiting the Warner Bros. lot, Johnny Whiteshoes of Geek Tyrant described what he saw being, "a big Green Lantern party going on', which was most likely the celebration for the studio recently wrapping up on Martin Campbell's much anticipated Green Lantern film. The photographer there was nice enough to share a photo with Johnny of Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison), which we've seen several times including at last month's San Diego Comic-Con, but not like this.

Starring Ryan Reynolds (Hal Jordan), Blake Lively( Carol Ferris), Peter Sarsgaard (Hector Hammond), Mark Strong (Sinestro), Tim Robbins( Senator Hammond), and Angela Bassett (Dr. Amanda Waller), Green Lantern forces into theaters June 17, 2011.

Details of Green Lantern Movie Villains Revealed

Major Plot Spoiler Warning! Want to know more about the two villains in DC's Green Lantern live action film? Follow the jump to read all about them...

Several days ago, it was revealed that the comic book character Krona will be featured in the Green Lantern movie. According to DC comic canon, Krona's selfish actions are what caused the creation of the "multiverse;" or, parallel universes. Many fans began to wonder whether the inclusion of Krona into the film's story would lead to a similar explanation of DC's movie-verse; and thus, tie their superhero properties together.

MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!


- Krona becomes the first "host" to Parallax, by way of the Yellow Power Battery. This takes place as a prologue of the film.

- Parallax doesn't just feed off of fear, it rips the souls out of it's victims; leaving dried "husks" of the corpses.

- Parallax/Krona attacks Abin Sur's ship, which causes him to crash land on Earth and die.

- While performing an autopsy on the corpse of Abin Sur, Hector Hammond becomes infected by a fragment of Parallax which causes him to gain exponential telepathic and telekinetic powers.

- Hammond attacks Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris (whom he harbors feelings towards) at the Ferris airfield hanger, a similar scene to the one in the Green Lantern Secret Origins comic; the difference being that Hammond wants Hal's Green Lantern ring.

- Hammond is ultimately killed by Parallax, who absorbs his soul in the manner mentioned above.

- Parallax fights Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris on Earth. The fight is unevenly matched until other members of the Green Lantern Corps arrive.

Batman's Tweets

The Dark Knight is not only busy busting the chops of the criminal lot but staying up all night messing with his twitter account. Here are some of his tweets.

Hey Pattinson, lessons on real brooding: 1. Comb your hair down, you look retarded. 2. Watch your parents get murdered. 3. Get a cape.

Hey iPhone developers. Can we get crackin on the "Solving Lame Riddles" app already? Thaaaaanks.

I believe in Harvey Dent. I believe he's a crappier villain than he was a D.A. And that's saying something.

Watch out criminal scum, I'm trying to kick caffeine again. And we all remembered what happened last time, don't we? DON'T WE!!!

Yeah, my parents are dead. What's that you were saying about hating Mondays?

You know what gives crime a concussion at 127 decibels? A Vuvuzela batarang. Sometimes bat-gadgets just invent themselves.

I brush my teeth with JUSTICE and floss with PAIN.

We'll miss you, Jack Bauer. If you ever come out of exile, I've got a pair of green ankle shoes and a yellow cape waiting.

I am Vengeance. I am the Night. I am mildly lactose intolerant.

One year ago today Michael Jackson died. In memory, I listened to "Thriller" while breaking a pedophile's legs. Rest in Peace, Jacko.

What do I call my iPhone? The BATiPhone? The iBatPhone? These are the things that keep me up at night. Well that and the face punching.

Memorial Day. Thinking about barbecuing on the beach. Alone. At night. Using nightvision. I'm awesome.

For the last time Alfred, they're NOT TIGHTS! They're DUAL DENSITY CARBON-FIBER LEGGINGS! And yes, please have them washed.

Finally destroyed Robin's iPod. It's impossible to brood when Justin Bieber is blasting in the upstairs guest room.
