Warner Bros. has decide that they are going to, according to the Wall Street Journal, do the same thing Marvel is doing with their superhero movies, introducing the individual characters in their own movies and then do a team-up movie. They also revealed that they're going to reboot the Superman franchise, and they plan to follow what Batman Begins/The Dark Knight but not just by making it realist but also dark.

If your a comic book fan, like me, your hopefully excited about the movie adaptation of Watchmen, which will come out March 6 as long as Fox doesn't have its way. It seems they are a little mad about Warner Bros. releasing this movie at all and is suing them, claiming they (Fox) own the rights to distribute a Watchmen film and at the same time Warner Bros. says that they own the rights. At this point in time Fox doesn't want to share profits with Warner Bros. and wants the production on the movie to stop. via Slashfilm.
In some happier Watchmen news, Kevin Smith has seen the movie and puts all of my worries to rest about the movie by saying, "It's fucking astounding.". The rest of what Kevin Smith thought about Watchmen can be found at Slashfilm.
