Marvel’s The Avengers Trailer Gets Sweded!

Since it was released last week, The Avengers movie trailer has been seen by just about everyone who isn’t living under a rock, and I’m sure half of those rock dwellers have seen it also. Some have seen it often enough to give it the swede treatment.

Along come a group of people – Roque Rodriguez, Brandon Carrera, Bryan Harley, Travis Sheridan, Tommy Brand, Chloe Tatro, John Rios, and Andrew Toschi – who decide they’re going to recreate the original trailer, albeit on a smaller budget.

If, for some reason, you haven’t seen The Avengers trailer, you can watch it below.

Superman

DC Comics has announced that Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens will be the creative force on Superman starting with Superman #7. Jurgens will handle the writing chores while Giffen will provide the artwork.

Being a man of many artistic styles, I wonder which one Giffen will opt for? Maybe a Jimmy Olson Kirby style? A Curt Swan classic style? I doubt it will be his Trencher style! We’ll find out soon enough.

Justice League: Doom Animated Film Trailer

Justice League: Doom Animated Film Trailer!

Justice League: Doom

The teaser trailer for Justice League: Doom was shown on Friday October 14th at the NYCC ‘11 DC Animated panel.

Justice League: Doom is the last DCU Animated movie to be written by the late, great Dwayne McDuffie who passed away earlier this year. The animated film is based on Mark Waid’s Tower of Babel storyline from the pages of JLA. The original villain in the story, R’as al Ghul, is replaced with the immortal Vandal Savage and his Legion of Doom.

Cyborg is a member of the Justice League and the plot revolves around Batman’s contingency plans for taking down each member of the JL “in case they go bad.” Of course those plans fall into the wrong hands – The Legion of Doom – who is comprised of Vandal Savage, Bane, the Royal Flush Gang, Star Sapphire, Mirror Master, and others.
