The newest trailer for Daredevil is now online and, while it’s better than the last one, it still doesn’t quite work for me. Michael Clarke Duncan and Colin Farrell seem like they’re going to have fun chewing the scenery, and Jennifer Garner is obviously easy on the eyes, but Ben Affleck still seems grossly miscast in the lead. Matt Damon would probably have worked better, and Guy Pearce would have been dream casting. Ah, well, there’s still Ang Lee’s The Hulk.

League of Extraordinarily Angry Gentlemen.
It seems all is not well on the set of this long-awaited Alan Moore adaptation, with star Sean Connery and director Stephen Norrington at each other’s throats.
Hyde Smash!
More pics of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen have surfaced online, including Jason Flemyng with some big ole arms. (Scroll past the X2 stuff, unless you’re interested.)
Rorschach Test.
AICN’s Moriarty (the only reviewer over there worth reading) has nothing but good things to say about David Hayter’s screenplay for Watchmen. Now there’s a film I’d like to see pulled off properly.
Leather and Claws.
Several images from two sequels eagerly awaited by the fanboy nation come to light: Matrix: Reloaded and X2.
Watch out, Powerpuffs…
While WB continues to screw up Supes, the Teen Titans go animated. Robin and Cyborg were gimmes, but I’m surprised they went with Starfire, Raven, and Changeling over the better-known Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, Aqualad, and Speedy. At any rate, given that the animation department appears to be the only division of WB that “gets it,” and that The New Teen Titans was my first favorite comic way back in third grade (particularly the “Judas Contract” and Trigon storylines), I’m definitely going to check it out.
Bamf!
AICN gets their hands on the first pic of Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler in X-Men 2. Looks a bit goofy, I suppose, but there’s no real way of telling until we see him move.
Kung Fu?
I know I’ve been posting a lot about the Superman fiasco at WB of late, but this review of the JJ Abrams script has to be read to be believed. This script might just be the worst idea for Supes in a long, sordid history of bad ideas. Hasn’t anyone at WB ever watched the Dini animated series?
Hey Jude (Get in the Gym.)
Harry at AICN says he’s got the goods on the World’s Finest casting…and it’s Jude Law as Superman and Colin Farrell at Batman. Unconventional choices, but I like ’em.
