I tried to get this up last week but it got lost in the shuffle. Concept images popped online of toys from Tim Burton’s Superman Lives that never happened. See more at Collider.
WETA special effects guy Joe Letteri is working on Man of Steel and spoke to The Playlist about how the effects in the movie are being handled. There’s more at the link:
Zack’s going for pretty much everything in-camera as much as he can. I mean, the reason to think about Superman in CGI, you don’t need him full CGI as a character, because he’s basically a full person. But you just don’t want the flying scenes to look like he’s on a wire. So [the question is] how do you use CG to make that happen, and that’s still kind of being played with right now.

Marc Webb talked extensively about The Amazing Spider-Man with Empire Magazine, via Comic Book Movie, here’s just one sample:

What Culture picks their five top choices to replace Christian Bale in the inevitable Batman reboot.Empire’s interview with Marc Webb also reveals a fun piece of dialogue in The Amazing Spider-Man between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy.

The might be my favorite thing ever. IO9 points out a concept by Draw2D2 in which Marvel characters and A Christmas Story are put together. You won’t shoot your eye out if you head to those links to see a bunch of other, equally hilarious, images.
If you know about Bane, you know what likely happens in The Dark Knight Rises and Bleeding Cool says they’ve confirmed it. Spoilers abound.
/Film reader Ashley L is working on a superhero film called Last Flight of the Firefly and needs your help. Head to the IndieGogo page to read more about the concept, which you get a glimpse of above.
David Fincher spoke to IO9 (via CBM) about what he plan for Spider-Man would have been had he done it instead of Sam Raimi:
The title sequence of the movie that I was going to do was going to be a ten minute — basically a music video, an opera, which was going to be the one shot that took you through the entire Peter Parker [backstory]. Bit by a radio active spider, the death of Uncle Ben, the loss of Mary Jane, and [then the movie] was going to begin with Peter meeting Gwen Stacy. It was a very different thing, it wasn’t the teenager story. It was much more of the guy who’s settled into being a freak.
Here’s a photo of Stan Lee on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man with producer Avi Arad.
FilmInk (via CBM) has a bunch of Avengers related quotes from Jeremy Renner, Joss Whedon and this one from Scarlet Johannson about Black Widow’s relationship with Hawkeye:
Deviant Artist Hobo95 (via CBM) made this poster for The Amazing Spider-Man.
Comic Book Movie found some box art for upcoming Avengers merch, here’s the Heroclix.
This is super weird. CBM has found a rumor on the IMDB about the post-credit scene in The Avengers. It’s so out there, it couldn’t possibly be right. How would that fit in?
