Guillermo del Toro to helm movie full of DC Comics’ supernatural characters

Guillermo del Toro is in talks with Warner Bros. to helm a movie starring the majority of DC Comics’ supernatural characters including Swamp Thing, Constantine, The Phantom Stranger and Deadman.   Del Toro’s previous movie credits make me think he would be ideally suited to bring DC’s creepier properties to the screen and, more importantly, actually do them justice.

Ben Affleck will not be directing Justice League, Wachowskis possibly considered

Ben Affleck recently dispelled the rumors that he would be directing DC’s Justice League movie. And now the speculation machine has landed its spinning arrow on the Wachowskis as directing the film, but who knows at this point. Just get Zach Snyder or something.

The real work on Justice League won’t begin until after Man of Steel is completed, but there’s already another big question on the table— who should play Batman? Joseph Gordon Levitt?

Artist, comic creator and Image Comics co-founder Rob Liefeld has gotten shit for years from fans because of his way over the top, hyper-realistic style, and his shitty attitude, but he’s also gotten shit from many he’s worked with, just for being sort of a dick. Okay, a lot of a dick.
