The costumes on the following Flash and Wonder Woman that appeared at Dragon Con 2009 are pretty good:

New DC Comics Portfolios And Notebooks

I picked up the new DC Comics portfolios (aka pocket folders) and notebooks at the local Super Wally World today. The covers include the following: Batman and Joker, Batman and Aquaman, Batman with Aquaman, Superman and the Flash (the back of the portfolio has the Super Powers logo) and Wonder Woman.

Valentine's Day Countdown 2009: Batgirl And Friends In Million Dollar Kissing Contest

Batgirl gets kisses from the Flash and Robin gives her some crazy tongue action while she talks about the Million Dollar Kissing Contest. Batman and Captain America are in the background waiting their turn.

Justice League of America 1997 Pilot Movie

You can watch the Justice League of America CBS tv movie from 1997 featuring Ice, Barry Allen (Flash), Guy Gardner (Green Lantern), Fire, Ray Palmer (Atom) and the Martian Manhunter battling the Weatherman in nine parts starting with this one:



This looks more like it should have been made in 1987. The costumes, plot and special effects are so bad that they make the movies on the Sci Fi Channel look great. The only redeeming factor is that the movie never aired in the US and a weekly tv series never actually materialized.

Blog Spotlight: Speed Force

Fans of the Flash will be interesting in checking out Speed Force. The blog is devoted to every generation of speedsters from the pages of DC Comics including Jay Garrick, Barry Allen (my personal favorite since I grew up reading about his adventures), Wally West and Bart Allen.

I just discovered Speed Force tonight and I have a lot of reading to do.

Here is my loose Flash action figure from the 1984 Super Powers line from Kenner:


Here is what the 1984 Flash action figure is supposed to look like still on the card (not my picture, by the way):


I need to find a better graphics program since my iPhoto Plus 4 is really outdated. This picture did turn out better than a few of my previous pictures thanks to using two pieces of paper as background.

Justice League Movie Shelved

According to Blog@Newsarama, the live-action Justice League movie have been shelved thanks mostly to the writer's strike. Already cast were Armie Hammer Jr. as Batman, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman and Adam Brody as The Flash. While I would have loved a live-action Justice League movie, I would rather have the solo films of the superheroes from DC Comics.

DC Comics Movies News

There has been some really interesting news involving movies featuring characters from DC Comics. Here's a quick rundown of the news:

Joss Whedon is no longer directing or writing with Wonder Woman. Supposedly, this happened a day after Warner Brothers bought a second script. Whedon had the movie set in modern day while the second script was set during World War II.

David S. Goyer's version of The Flash is dead. His script featured Wally West and Barry Allen. Shawn Levy is now set to direct the movie.

Katie Holmes will not be in the sequel to Batman Begins called The Dark Knight. Somebody else will be cast as Rachael Dawes. Rumor has it that Heather McAdams has been asked to make an appearance as Selina "Catwoman" Kyle. Aaron Eckhart is in the running to play Harvey "Two-Face" Dent.
