If Warners and DC Entertainment have their collective corporate hearts set on building a movie Justice League, then what characters should be part of the team? We’ve had a Green Lantern movie, we’re used to cinematic Batmen and Man of Steel is coming out next year. But which other DC Universe characters should make their celluloid debuts in order to graduate to the Big League?
The Amazing Spider-Man opens today, giving audiences the chance to finally work out those Emma Stone-as-Gwen Stacy issues, and see if Andrew Garfield is less annoying than Tobey Maguire as everyone’s favorite friendly neighborhood wall crawler (But, really, how could he not be?). But there’s one question that everyone’s been asking: Did we actually need it to be a reboot?
The number of classic television shows that I’ve never seen an episode of is truly embarrassing.

With San Diego Comic-Con less than two weeks away, and the schedule for the show finally revealed (as Kevin has already shared with you), this week’s question is a simple one: What are you most looking forward to from the show?

The triumphant (Well, I liked it) return of Futurama this week shows the value of giving shows another chance – As well as rubbing in just how many series have been canceled while they still had so much more to give.
