  1. For when my outward action doth demonstrate

    The native act and figure of my heart

    In compliment extern, 'tis not long after

    But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve

    For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.

  2. They have three awesome Green Lanterns from Earth and not a single one of them haven't gotten their own anything ever outside of comics.

    Four: Hal, John, Guy and Kyle. Hell you could even say five if you count Alan Scott.

    I do however want to see the power level of Captain America. He can take down the Hulk in the Ultimates. I wasn't too fond of that.

    In the Hulk movie, they uses the Super Soldier Serum on Blonsky, essentially turning him into a second Captain America to fight the Hulk. I quite liked how they portrayed the abilities it granted in that. That entire movie was one big foreshadowing of Cap's own movie.

  3. Harry is my favorite Spider-Man character, but I was glad to see him die. He died in the comics (although under slightly different circumstances) and his death scene is perhaps one of my favorites of all time.

    I have an intense hatred for Venom, and though he shouldn't have even been anywhere near the movie.

  4. John Barrowman, the star of "Torchwood," was just asked moments ago at the San Diego Comic-Con panel if there was any possibility that he would be playing Captain America in the upcoming feature film.

    He smiled and gave the stock answer that he'd love to play the character and that Captain America has always been his favorite comic book superhero. Clearly, though, the notion did not take him by surprise and he ended up admitting there had been discussions with his agents and meetings on that very issue.

    Not bad at all...

    Joe Johnston to Direct Captain America!

    Source:The Hollywood Reporter November 9, 2008

    Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park III, Hidalgo) has signed a deal to direct First Avenger: Captain America, Marvel Studios' take on its classic comic book character, says The Hollywood Reporter. Marvel's Kevin Feige is producing.

    No writers are on board, but the studio, which is hearing pitches, expects to hire shortly.

    "This is a guy who designed the vehicles for 'Star Wars,' who storyboarded the convoy action sequence for 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' " Feige said. "From 'Rocketeer' to 'October Sky' to 'The Wolfman,' you can look at pieces of his movies and see how they lead to this one."

    Created in 1941 by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon for Timely Comics, Captain America is the heroic alter ego of Steve Rogers, who is rejected by the Army for being too sickly and undergoes an experiment that takes him to the pinnacle of human form. Paired with an indestructible shield, he became a symbol of the war effort, in and out of comics.

    The character disappeared in the 1950s but was revived during the early era of Marvel Comics. He was reintroduced as part of the Avengers, the absence explained by having him being in a state of suspended animation during a war mission until found by the superteam.

    First Avenger: Captain America is scheduled for a release on May 6, 2011. It will be a World War II-set movie, and the character will appear in the modern day-set The Avengers.

    Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely are in negotiations to pen Marvel Studios' "First Avenger: Captain America." The dealmaking occurs about a week after Joe Johnston boarded the project as director.

    Markus and McFeely, repped by UTA, worked on "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and its sequel, "Prince Caspian." The duo also wrote HBO's "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers."

    I am extremely excited about this one, especially with the Avengers movie on the horizon.
