It’s hard to tell what the costume really looks like. But I can at least tell it isn’t going to look like Michelle Pfeiffer or Halle Berry’s costumes. If anything, she looks like she might be more like Julie Newmar’s Catwoman, which isn’t bad either. However, there isn’t much to go on.

EW (Entertainment Weekly’s internet site) has exclusive information that Lawrence
Fishburne has been cast in the role of Perry White, Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Planet in the Superman reboot: The Man of Steel, produced by Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins, Inception) and directed by Zach Snyder (300, Watchmen). My first thought: Here we go again.
I don’t have a problem with stunt casting. At first glance, it seems that Man of Steel is going to suffer the fate of a movie propped up by stunt casting. However, due to the sheer number of big names, I don’t think stunt casting is an issue. Casting Lawrence Fishburne as Perry White isn’t as odd as one might think. Michael Clark Duncan as the Kingpin and Angelina Jolie as The Fox were not bad choices at all and didn’t change anything about the spirit of the source material. 

Once again, this is not going to rant about replacing black characters with white actors/actresses, or vice versa. There seems to already be a rumbling among fanboys about changing Perry White’s race. I believe that if race is not an essential part of the character, then the race of the actor isn’t important. For example, casting Morgan Freeman as Magneto would not work since an essential trait of Magneto is his experience as a Jew and his treatment by Nazis. The outrage over Idris Elba as Heimdall in Thor was ridiculous. Heimdall is a being from another plane of existence where one’s skin color was way less important than one’s race (Frost Giant, Elf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, etc.) I don’t know of any extra dimensional being who could be cast as Heimdall or Thor, so where’s the outrage of casting mere mortals in those roles. . Is there something like that preventing a black actor from being cast as Perry White? Do we know anything about Perry White other than that he’s a career newsman? (excluding fanboys who know everything). Of course this is going to bother "purist" and fanboys because they live in a state of misery and unhappiness because nothing ever pleases them.
I think this is a good move by Nolan and the Studio. What’s going to set this Superman movie apart from all the previous ones? They dropped Superman from the title and taken some bold moves with casting. All in all, I think that the movie is headed in a good direction regardless of how the end product turns out. That’s my 2 pennies.

The Thing is a prequel to the 1982 John Carpenter classic horror movie The Thing, which starred Kurt Russell, Wilfred Brimley, and Keith David. John Carpenter’s movie is a classic, but it is also a remake of 1951′s The Thing from Another Planet.
The mood in the trailer makes me think of Whiteout (2009) which starred Kate Beckinsale. I thought that was a good movie. Check it out:

DC Comics caused quite a uproar with its new line wide reboot this September. The entire universe is being rebooted and restarted with issue # 1. I’m going to ignore the stuff that usually gets talked about the most like Batman and Superman etc, you can get that stuff other places. Here’s some of the books that have me interested.
Batwing #1, starring the first ever black character to don the mantle as the Batman of Africa
Static Shock # 1
