The Guard Returns. And I have news. I've been camping out at BATMAN ON FILM and SUPERHERO HYPE. Been making some new friends. I have read the BATMAN BEGINS script, and I've been given a description of The Batsuit and The Batmobile. The Batsuit, I was told, would be dark, dark, dark gray...

There's more going on there. Watch it again. James Gordon isnt just asking Batman for help. He's also telling him half truths, knowing full well that he's going to tag along.

The new Batman fanfilm DARK JUSTICE is available for free online download: www.batinthesun.com

Liam Neeson as Ra's Al Ghul...now WHERE have we heard that before? :)

Did anyone besides me think the olophaunts and the subsequent battling with them was eerily reminiscent of the battle at Hoth in the beginning of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK?

I don't see what's so confusing. There's one. There's The Reaper, who is Judson Caspian, and there's an imposter, who sucked compared to him, and then there's a throwaway character from the 60's who was based on the Grim Reaper. Judson Caspian is the one in question.

If I've ever seen a better movie, I don't know where and when. This was the best all around piece of cinema I have ever been priviledged enough to experience. ACTING Elijah Wood: Not enough can be said about his performances in all three films, but he really dialed it up for the final...

What exactly do you need help with? The one we're talking about is Judson Caspian, the first Reaper we talked about.

Joe Chill's son was the second Reaper.

Think about it. He sucks surplus power. What other kinds of characters do that?

Good stuff. The one beef I had was that you never really get to see much of the French point of view. And by that, I mean that you never see what's happening on the Acheron unless the crew of the Surprise is onboard. Still, that's a minor quibblie. MASTER AND COMMANDER was very good. Russell...

Might as well chime in. Thanks for the kind words on the script. The link there has the rest of it, featuring Ra's Al Ghul. As far as the casting rumors involving Daniel Day-Lewis, I'd be thrilled if he took the role, but I doubt it will happen. He doesn't seem much like a comic book movie guy...

Everyone nitpicks that. I've always liked the "not tying Batman's world to one era" thing, but not the whole "30's and 40s" look. So when I wrote that pilot, I wanted the murder of Bruce's parents to take place circa 1990-2000, and the rest to take place in the not-so-distant-future, where a...

Tra la la... ALFRED (V.O.) We all have stories. Some are filled with hope and light, and others are dark and dismal. Our stories come from our experiences, and are what make us into who we become. But some stories are never told. His is one of them. FADE IN EXT. GOTHAM CITY - NIGHT...

Can someone explain SUPERMAN: BIRTHRIGHT to me? I've been out of the loop for a while. Can someone explain what this is all ablut, what changes have been made or suggested about Superman's origin, the origin of the S-Shield, the colors of the suit, ect?

This is the intro to my BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT script, which is loosely based on one of my favorite moments, the Zsasz/Knightfall encounter. FADE IN: GOTHAM CITY - NIGHT An aerial view of Gotham. Stone cathedrals and shining towers of glass and steel. Hundreds of cars, taxis, and buses...

Firefly? Feh. Zsasz.

Good to hear that there will be an X3, though I expected it sooner as well. There were plans for a HULK cartoon, much like the new SPIDER-MAN one on MTV to tie into the movie, so that's not surprising, either. But...Spider-Man figures sold that well? Coulda fooled me.

Opening Night is tonight. We're proud of it so far, and I guess three fourths of our season ticket holders are coming tonight, so we should have a nice crowd. Here's what I have to do over the course of the night (without glasses, of course, so I'm damn near blind) Dance. Run offstage...

It might be Elfman, but he's not doing the score. movie teasers and trailers often recycle other themes from movies and use rock songs. For instance, THE HAUNTED MANSION's teaser used Elfman's BATMAN RETURNS theme. Alan Silvestri is doing the music for THE POLAR EXPRESS.

There are rumors now that WB is not pleased with the box office performance of THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS, and that the DVD may be out before Christmas, or perhaps as part of a Matrix Trilogy boxed set.

Calm down. We've been told by those in the know that the "suit in a can" idea is out. Superman's costume, pre-Crisis, was made of material that Martha Kent found in his ship. It makes sense for it to be "alien" in appearance and texture. I rather like this idea, and have called for it for some...

I think McG deserves a chance if he is indeed WB's top choice. He's said nothing but the right things about this project. Yes, he left it, but he had his reasons. Among them, a franchise to finish up (CHARLIE'S ANGELS). He's a fan. He knows what makes Superman tick. If he's the man he won't...

Of all the choices I've heard that have been seriously considered (Nicolas Cage, Jude Law, Matthew Bomer, Victor Webster, Josh Hartnett), Brendan Fraser is the best I've heard, and a personal favorite. The man can flat act. He can do the Clark Kent side of the character and Superman. He seems to...

I think people are looking too deep about The Oracle's comments about Neo. Neo is dead. I'm pretty sure she was implying they'd see him when they got back to the real world source, I.E. Heaven. I'm sure we'll be seeing a MATRIX animated series before too long. MEN IN BLACK got one. SPIDER-MAN...

I'm satisfied. The Matrix movies were modern mythology, with all the archetypes of classic myth and legend, and a ton of symbolism that can be interpreted many ways (Sometimes I think people make the mistake of thinking this has to be a Christ story, when many cultures and myths have similar...

My sister went as a fruit basket one year. A set of matched luggage the next. And a lightbulb this year.

SCARY MOVIE 3 was a lot better than the second installment. I liked most of it. It's funny as hell if you've seen the movies it parodies and understand WHY things are being poked fun at. I could have done without the 8 MILE references, they just fell flat for me. The SIGNS jokes were the best...

I missed most of it. Were the Woodrow skits in there? I did catch the King Kong one, though. Never saw that one before. That was pretty funny.

I'm not a huge fan of either franchise, but aren't these two franchises set in the future? I don't remember PREDATOR, but I do remember ALIEN being in the future.

One of the laziest and most uninspiring episodes of JUSTICE LEAGUE I've ever seen. More later.

The story the script is based on, for anyone who wants to see it: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/6821/thurber.html

It's that time again. Autumn theater auditions have wrapped, and I made it into the cast of A THURBER CARNIVAL, a collection of comedy vignettes by James Thurber. I'm playing the husband in A UNICORN IN THE GARDEN, a British gentleman, an American store manager who tries to be British, James...

THE PUNISHER will be rated R. It's been confirmed several times.

The Dark Thirteen Years Later... There was supposed to be an advantage to having a private dorm, but Darren had long since forgotten what that was. He was here at Karlson University on a scholarship. Not a full ride, but it was close enough. The scholarship had netted him a dorm and most of...

Prologue We all face the darkness. It is then that we find our true colors. Darren had been five at the time. Sitting in the kitchen table that morning, his crayons, markers and paper spread out on the table in front of him, concentrating on the last few details of the task at hand. His...

Two new pictures of Thomas Jane as Frank Castle in THE PUNISHER: http://superherohype.com/cgi-bin/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Punisher/The_Movie/Movie_Stills&image=archer.jpg&img=&tt= http://www.picturedot.com/FetchImageJPG.asp?ImageType=P&ImageFormat=H&ImageID=85757

We all face the darkness. It is then that we find our true colors. A new serial I'm going to be working on. The Spectrum is about a teenager who discovers he has the abilitity to read auras, and is drawn into a world he never knew existed. You can check out the prologue here...

Look on the bright side. With GOTHIKA and now CATWOMAN, Halle's career as a "legitimate actor" is over.

THE LOST YEARS He didn't remember much about the funeral. His parents' friends, colleagues, and business associates had come and offered their hollow words of comfort and sympathy. He hated them for it. Alfred, the family valet, had stood there behind him during the funeral, his hand on...
