Superhero Stories Assemble! Cap Gets a Score, Powers Gets a Pilot, and Spidey Gets Some Shorts
"And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when several superhero stories found themselves united in a single article. On that day, 'Superhero Stories' was born - to contain the film and TV news no single blog post could withstand! Heed the call, then - for now...
Superhero Stories Assemble!"

It's been previously reported that Alan Menken has been working on music for Joe Johnston's "Captain America: The First Avenger", but reports are coming in that composer Alan Silvestri ('Back to the Future', 'Forrest Gump') has signed onto the film as well. It's rumored that Menken will just be writing a short song for the film's USO tour scenes (where Cap is rumored to begrudgingly sing and dance for the troops), while Silvestri will be composing the rest of the film's score.
Known for his expertise in horn-heavy scores and heavily percussive rhythms, he seems the perfect choice for a memorable, heroic, "Americana-yet-military" themed score. While Menken was brought in much earlier in the production (presumably to coordinate parts of the scene along with the music), it's not uncommon for a composer to be brought in this close to a film's release date. Silvestri will most likely complete his work over the next few months as post-production and editing on the film continues.

Bruce-Banner-To-Be Mark Ruffalo recently chatted up MTV News at the Independent Spirit Awards, and spoke briefly about his role as "The Hulk" in 2012's "The Avengers". While previous versions of the not-so-jolly green giant have relied on CG animators and motion capture, this will be the first time that the actor will protray both Bruce Banner and The Hulk. Using new technology similar to the suits used on James Cameron's "Avatar", Ruffalo will actually give the performance for both sides of the character's personality:
"All the features are mine, just really big. I got to see the maquette of the Hulk yesterday in full scope, and it's awesome," the actor remarked. As for the script? It's right "in [director] Joss Whedon's wheelhouse... a nice combination of funny with pathos."

Rumor has it that - similar to Kevin Costner's unconfirmed role of Jonathan Kent - both Viggo Mortensen ('Lord of the Rings') and Daniel Day-Lewis ('Gangs of New York') have become "people of interest for an unspecified role" in WB's "Superman: The Man of Steel". Current fan speculation is aiming towards the role being that of evil Kryptonian General Zod - last seen in 1980's "Superman II". It could also possibly be Lex Luthor - the film is a reboot so he and Superman would no longer have to remain close in age. Both actors have been attached to several upcoming projects - Mortensen to the upcoming "Snow White and the Huntsman", and Lewis in Spielburg's untitled Abraham Lincoln biopic - but neither film would conflict with Zack Snyder's rapidly approaching shooting schedule.

20th Century Fox has released two brand new (and quite slick) posters for "X-Men: First Class" featuring Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto (Michael Fassbender). See for yourself (click for full-size):
Co-writer Bryan Singer commented on the appeal of the X-Men in a recent interview:

Let the jokes and fan captions begin! Even more set photos from Sony's "The Amazing Spider-Man" have found their way to the internet, this time showing leading man Andrew Garfield taking a snack break, and Spidey apparently getting ready to school some chumps down at the local gym basketball court:
Nice shorts, Spidey.
Much to the joy of it's many fans, the Brian Michael Bendis comic book "Powers" - about two homicide detectives in a world with superheroes - has been given the greenlight to film a pilot for the FX network. The show centers around Det. Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, two good cops who specialize in homocide cases involving superheroes (or "powers" as they call them). Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff has already expressed interest in the role of Deena Pilgrim, and quite frankly - she'd be perfect. The show comes from a director and executive producer who both worked on the AMC's "The Walking Dead" previously, and they hope to bring the same level of success to this new show.Speaking of "The Walking Dead": AMC will be airing a full marathon of the popular show, featuring all six episodes from the acclaimed first season, packaged with exclusive interviews with creators Robert Kirkman, Frank Darabonte, Gale Anne Hurd, and VFX guru Greg Nicotero. The marathon will air on Friday, March 4th beginning at 8pm ET on AMC.
Until next time!

Superman news FINALLY has me excited.
I love both actors, but for once, i might have to say Viggo Mortenson would be a GREAT choice.
(for once...as in an actor over Daniel Day Lewis...only because Viggo is always good and he seems to have the face for it. but obviously both choices would be amazing news)...(wait, how about both, 2 different characters :)

Alan Silvestri composing Captain America? Awesome. Avatar technology for the Hulk? Great idea. Daniel Day-Lewis in Superman? Holy hell that's awesome. First Class posters? I like them. Spider-Man set photos? Always look horrible. Superhero TV show? Skeptical...

I really want to see what this new Hulk will look like. In avatar they were big but still slim and retained alot of their facial features. The Hulk is stalky and wide. I wonder how it will turn out.

Daniel Day lewis is one intense motherfucker.
The more I look at the Spidey gloves, the more they bother me, I don't think it will get in the way of the movie. Still excited to see the reboot. Just as long as there is no devil.
