Based on this leaked in-game footage, it looks like a studio owned by THQ was hip-deep in development on a video game tie-in to next summer’s The Avengers movie. But the game has been seemingly canceled since THQ shuttered the studio last month. Sad news made all the sadder once you watch the awesomeness on display in the video. Read more »

We’ve always loved tattoos – just can’t seem to get enough of them! Of course, when speaking of tatts, we cannot overlook those of superheroes. After all, there is a plethora of them out there. Not all of them are tasteful or nice, that is true, but here is the result of hours of scouring the web for some of the most interesting and eye catching superhero tattoos. If I’ve missed one (or 10), feel free to share! Iron Man Tattoos You will never hear me deny my obsession for this character – and Robert Downey, Jr. Naturally, he is first up on the list. They say this tatt was Read more »
A few weeks ago I reported that Wonder Woman was rumored for a return to TV with a new look and feel, now I’m excited to learn that ABC is taking a serious look at a new Hulk Series and ABC Family is looking at a first launch for a live action version of Cloak and Dagger. The Hulk was last seen on CBS from 1978-1982 and starred Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. That 70′s and 80′s version of the show drew decent crowds and formed a cult following from comic fans.

With what promised to be an excellent series, Marvel Universe vs The Punisher had a rather disappointing end with this week’s #4. I suppose I shouldn’t have expected more, but I enjoyed the earlier issues so much that I really had raised my hopes. Even the Punisher being defeated would have been better than the ‘Everybody hates me, don’t worry it’s mutual, I’ll just keep shooting things’ ending that we were delivered. Wasn’t the Punisher, when he first appeared, a character that although we may sympathise, we should despise? What does this victory demonstrate really? Is the House of Ideas (and by extension our world) in moral freefall? In a Read more »
![Bangladesh Makes The Worst Hulk Movie "Ripoff" Ever!!! [Video]](http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/media/2010/08/500x_halka-150x150.jpg)
There’s a new “Hulk movie” coming out in Bangladesh called HALKa, which I assume is the companies way of defeating copyright issues (although the Hulk “replica” doesn’t help), while still letting potential viewers know it’s based on a similar premise to the original. One thing that stand out? This movie may truly be the worst interpretation of the series ever told. When I say it’s bad I mean worse than the 1970′s series, which I know many people enjoyed, but let’s face it, it’s pretty awful when viewed from today’s standards and I would rather still watch the original TV show than have to sit through this movie.

One of the most contrived and cheesey plots I have seen for a long time. I loved every minute of it. Read more »
That sound you’re hearing? Choirs of fanboys singing. This might be the greatest news to ever come out of geekdom. Joss Whedon, one of the most celebrated and respected (and geeky) wordsmiths of our time, is going to be directing Marvel Studios’ big-budget superhero mashup, The Avengers. As you probably know, The Avengers is combining the stars of Marvel’s various superhero pics — Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and Nick Fury — into star-studded blockbuster film. Whedon landing this gig is on the same level as JJ Abrams being handed the keys to the Enterprise, and everybody knows how amazing that turned out. Whedon is best known as the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and Read more »
The long hunt is finally over. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the next person to play Captain America in Marvel’s latest project is Chris Evans. How do you know him? Well, he’s “that guy” from Not Another Teen Movie, the lead character in Push, and of course, the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four Series. From the article: Sources tell us the actor has not only accepted Marvel’s offer, first detailed on Friday, but that the dealmaking moved so fast it’s now all about dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s. Marvel would not comment on the development, and CAA, which reps the actor, declined comment. Evans was offered the role Read more »
It’s not new to have a hero on the run, pursued by former allies and the forces of the law. It is a little newer for said hero to actually be guilty of whatever they have been accused of I suppose, but not tremendously so. What a disappointing consequence to what was actually an excellent series. Read more »
