For those that don’t remember last season, Dexter was going to be a daddy! This promo image from Showtime is a little teaser as to what we might expect from season 4…and no, I don’t think killer babies is likely.

Warner Home Video has released the blu-ray and DVD artwork for the upcoming animated feature “Superman/Batman: Public Enemies”.  We have posted the artwork for the 1-disc DVD, 2-disc DVD, and blu-ray below.

• Release Date: September 29th, 2009
• SRP: 1-Disc DVD – $19.98; 2-Disc DVD – $24.98; 1-Disc blu-ray – $29.99

Here’s the synopsis:

A desperate solution for a troubled country: Lex Luthor for President with the Justice League in the service of the government. Only Batman and Superman stand against the new regime – and their disloyalty proves to be exactly what Luthor intended. Using their outcast status to instigate a scandal against Superman, Luthor finally tastes a victory in his vendetta against The Man of Steel. From Executive Producer Bruce Timm and voiced by the cast from both hit Batman and Superman animated TV series including Kevin Conroy, Tim Daly and Clancy Brown, this DC Universe Original Animated Movie of Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness’s popular graphic novel seethes with political intrigue and action-packed battles between heroes all believing they’re on the right side of the law.

Did the mentioning of suspenders already give away who Iron Man creator Stan Lee will be playing this time around?  If you haven’t guessed it by now, Lee will be playing Larry King for his cameo in “Iron Man 2″!  As you might remember from the first film, he was mistaken by Tony Stark as  Hugh Hefner, clad in the long, burgundy robe.

Lee was seen shooting his cameo earlier this week in the Larry King getup complete with suspenders, in a scene where he asks Tony Stark when he’s going to appear on his show.

“Iron Man 2″ hits theaters May 7, 2010.

Amazon.com has released a set of preview videos of what to expect from the “Watchmen” blu-ray’s Maximum Movie Mode and we have to say this is one of the coolest features we’ve seen on a blu-ray release yet.  As you’ll see in the video, director Zack Snyder walks on screen and offers an in-depth look at the film, walking us through with behind-the-scenes footage, comic-to-film comparisons, history timelines, trivia, easter eggs, storyboards, and more.  You’ll find the videos on Amazon’s page here.

“Watchmen: The Director’s Cut” hits blu-ray on July 21st, 2009 and can be ordered on Amazon for a discounted price of $22.99.

It’s Monday and you know what that means. It’s our next installment of Monday Morning Comics!

Dates and times TBD.

Heroes, which has had a significant showing at the convention in the past, will not have a panel this year, apparently due to filming conflicts.  Instead, it is expected to make some “presence”, as creator Tim Kring has announced plans to be there along with some of the cast, writers, and producers.

It is not known whether Bones will have a panel or not, considering how much of an upset the season finale was (No, we don’t watch Bones).  24, however, is most definitely expected to make an appearance with the addition of former Battlestar Galactica actress Katee Sackhoff.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Universal and MySpace are offering free tickets to advance screenings of Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Bruno” on July 7th.  No, there’s no catch – all you need to enter is your name, e-mail address, and zip code.

These might not last long, so head over to the following link asap: http://tickets.universalpictures.com/bruno/p/MYSPACE

Be sure to arrive at least 1 and a half hours early, especially for a movie like this, otherwise you won’t get in as seats are first come, first served.

We’ll keep you updated on other advance screenings ahead.

The Hollywood Reporter is stating that producer Avi Arad has plans to produce a big-screen adaptation of the popular Playstation 3 video game, “Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune”.  Joining Avi Arad are producers Ari Arad, Charles Roven, and Alex Gartner.  Here’s the summary from THR:

The story follows a descendent of explorer Sir Francis Drake, a treasure hunter named Nate Drake who believes he has learned the whereabouts of El Dorado, the fabled South American golden city, from a cursed golden statue. The search becomes competitive when a rival hunter joins the fray, then is racheted up several notches when creatures — actually mutated descendants of Spaniards and Nazis — begin attacking those hoping to learn the treasure’s true secrets.

Are we looking at another National Treasure/Indiana Jones-type adventure here?  Screenwriter Kyle Ward has been hired to write the screenplay.  Ward’s credits include screenplays for other game adaptations in progress including “Hitman 2″ for 20th Century Fox and “Kane & Lynch” for Lionsgate, which Bruce Willis is attached to star in.  Umm…didn’t “Hitman” already suck terribly?  Seriously, sometimes 20th Century Fox reminds me of a deranged patient who’s run loose from a mental asylum.  “Hitman” tanked horribly – therefore, we’ll spend several millions more on a sequel.  It doesn’t take an idiot to figure out the lack of logic there.  Anyways, Arad had better be taking this “Uncharted” project seriously, otherwise, I have no idea why the man’s still in business.  A part of me is saying this is just another one of his profit-driven ventures.  Guess we’ll have to wait and see as this project develops.
