Help out Steve

S.O.S. -- Help Steve Rude keep his house

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the dramatic headline but it really is appropriate. Like everyone else, Steve has been effected by the economic downturn, so much so that his house will be up for auction November 15th.

In an effort to stave off the foreclosure, Steve has put up pages from The Next Nexus mini-series on eBay at really low prices. Pages from issues #1 and #2 are already up on eBay and issues #3 and #4 will up in a week or two.

There's a lot of pages with the main characters left as well as plenty of pages with his fantastic spaceship designs (they are so very cool.)

His commission list is temporarily closed until he whittles down his backlog a bit but will be opened back up shortly.

Steve's originals are really handsome, and this may be doubly true of the ones that don't feature important characters (my brother owns one from his Marvel mini-series period that features nameless gangsters that's as handsome as any comics page we own between us), which makes all of his pages worth a gander.

If you're not in the market for original art or if it's out of your price range, the store link provided above takes you into a wealth of material at a wide variety of price points. I think Steve Rude is one of the really fine comics illustrators of the last 30 years and one of the most genuine ever in his desire to make stunning imagery on the page, so if you can find anything he's offering that you would like I think you'd be well-rewarded.

Zack Snyder: The Right Man for a SUPER-Job

A BATMAN-ON-FILM.COM Op-Ed - “Zack Snyder: The Right Man for a SUPER-Job” by Sean Gerber (10.5.10)

Warner Bros

. was already off to a remarkable head start on rebooting the Superman film franchise by bringing in Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas to produce the film while hiring David Goyer to write the script. Now, with the addition of Zack Snyder in the director’s chair, a comic book movie “Dream Team” is complete. Zack Snyder is absolutely the right choice. He is the kind of director that Superman needs right now.

Behind the scenes at DCU

I posted the trailer to this DC Universe game a while back (click here) Now here is a directors commentary version of it. Very cool and interesting to see hear  a behind the scene info on it and what they are trying to portray.

NOLAN is on board!!!!!!

---

You may have guessed, you may have assumed it, but until now we hadn't had confirmation from the studio or the man himself that Christopher Nolan would be back to direct Batman 3 / The Dark Knight 2 (or whatever we're calling it). But our Dan Jolin talked to the man himself earlier today, and got it straight from Nolan himself.
"It’s becoming inevitable, I’ll put it that way," says Nolan. "I feel myself falling into it, I guess. And getting it all figured out and I’m pretty excited about what we’re doing so… If I haven’t announced it, I think that people probably all know at this point that I’m doing it."
Hang on, that's not 100% clear: so we can safely assume you're directing?
"I think you can at this point, yes."
So as of right now, Nolan will return. You may also have spotted the "getting it all figured out" there: when we asked Nolan what he was busy with as we called, the answer was that he's working on Jonathan Nolan's script for the film. In other words, there is a script! Things are slowly taking shape!
