In the all-new, hardcover original graphic novel JOKER, writer Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS) and artist Lee Bermejo (HELLBLAZER covers) – the creative team behind the acclaimed miniseries LEX LUTHOR: MAN OF STEEL – show an even darker and more disturbing side to the most dangerous man in Gotham: The Joker.

After yet another stint in Arkham Asylum, The Joker finds “his city” divided among mobsters and costumed villains. Not content to settle for a piece of the pie, The Joker vows to take back the whole damn enchilada by any means necessary. Look for appearances by a slew of Gotham’s most wanted, including gritty takes on Two-Face, Riddler, Killer Croc, Penguin, Harley Quinn and even Batman!

Not since THE KILLING JOKE have you seen such a powerful tale of The Joker – you won’t want to miss this one!

Kickass…

Paramount Pictures has released two new theatrical posters for director J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek”, featuring Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto).  “Star Trek” comes out May 8, 2009.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released 6 new character posters featuring The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup), Ozymandias (Matthew Goode), Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley), Silk Spectre II (Malin Akerman), and Nite Owl II (Patrick Wilson).  “Watchmen” hits theaters 03-06-09.

I don’t know whether to crack up at how ludicrous this sounds or raise a mean, iron fist at how selfishly ignorant and idiotically foolish this really is.  According to an article on Hurriyet Daily News, Huseyin Kalkan, mayor of the southeastern city of Batman, Istanbul is attempting to sue “The Dark Knight” director, Christopher Nolan, over unpaid royalties for using the name of his city as a brand name in the film.  Note that he isn’t suing DC Comics, the company that actually created the superhero.  What a jackass.

I’m sure it would be more entertaining to read the article for yourself
