#CaptainCanuck Richard Comely in Calgary today #ctncanuck

So happy to have met Canadian legend, Richard Comely, creator and artist of Captain Canuck. Humble man, great to hear stories from him on "where did you buy comics in the 1970s"? A couple of fans told stories of buying them at Canadian Tire, back in the day. Can you get more Canadian that that? I think not.
If you haven't already, check out the new animated web series, here.

#Superman #Batman team up Moive?!?!?

Superman took flight again this summer in "Man of Steel," which has so far taken in over $280 million in the US and over $620 million worldwide, making it the #2 movie at the box office for 2013 ("Iron Man 3" sits securely at the top spot). Naturally, Henry Cavill is set to step into the character's red boots again, but at the Comic-Con today, there was surprising news that he'll be joined by another caped superhero.
Batman will team up with Superman in the next movie, The Hollywood Reporter and the Los Angeles Times confirmed Saturday morning. "Man of Steel" director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David Goyer (who also worked on "The Dark Knight" series) will return for the film expected to be released in 2015. Christian Bale, however, is not expected to return as the Caped Crusader.

#BATMAN vs #DEADPOOL

From the gang at Bat In The Sun films here is a tongue-in-check look at the two facing off against one another.

#Batman that almost was....

In light of new rumors that the reboot of the Batman franchise might be a Batman Beyond style feature, let see what else, almost happened.

 Like any beloved comic book property, Batman has been crow-barred open and interpreted by a large number of writers, artists, actors and filmmakers; from the firm camp of Adam West’s TV series, to the German Expressionist undertones of Tim Burton’s Batman films, and the gritty realism of both Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One and the Christopher Nolan movies it inspired, Batman means many things to many people, and that is the beauty of the character.
