Watchmen

I just starting reading The Watchmen...again. I'm looking forward to the Zak Snyder movie very much. However, like any serious fanboy, I'm torn. Yes, I'm excited to see the characters come to life on the big screen, but I'm also cautious. Will Zak f**ked this up!?!?! Will it live up to the hype?? Will why wife ever understand why I like comics???
Anyway, here's the latest trailer....looks great so far.

Disqualification for The Dark Knight

Variety reports that the score for The Dark Knight has been disqualified by the executive committee of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences music branch from being considered for an Oscar.

Formal letters to that effect are expected to go out this week to composers Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, who collaborated on the music.

Their previous collaboration, on Batman Begins, was similarly disqualified in 2005.

According to the trade, the big issue was the fact that five names were listed as composers on the music cue sheet, the official studio document that specifies every piece of music (along with its duration and copyright owner) in the film.

Zimmer previously said that listing multiple names on the cue sheet was a way of financially rewarding parts of the music team who helped make the overall work successful.

Zimmer, Howard and the other three individuals -- music editor Alex Gibson, ambient music designer Mel Wesson and composer Lorne Balfe -- reportedly signed an affidavit stating that the score was primarily the work of Zimmer and Howard.

That apparently wasn't enough for the majority of the committee, which was also supplied with documentation indicating that more than 60%, but less than 70%, of the score was credited to Zimmer and Howard.

Robin, Nightwing, Birds of Prey get the axe!?!?!?


DC Comics is getting rid of 3 Batman related titles next year. Robin, Nightwing, and Birds of Prey will have their last issues shipped February 2009. This, combined with the BATMAN R.I.P story line, leads me to believe that DC has something big up their sleeve for 2009 and Gotham City.
