It's a new Kick-Ass trailer. It actually has more new footage, and that new footage also looks great. I don't want to sound ungrateful here, but I think I've posted more Kick-Ass trailers than I did for Transformers 2, and unfortunately, I don't have anything shitty to say about Kick-Ass because everything about looks great. So please. Stop. Stop with the previews and trailers and TV spots and just fucking come out already. Your consistent entertainment value and apparent high quality is really getting annoying.

​Bryan Singer, director of the two good X-Men movies, is now officially signed on to direct the X-Men prequel First Class. All well and good, right? Wrong. Because -- you know, all I have to do is repeat the article title of the LA Times' recent interview with him:

Bryan Singer on 'X-Men: First Class': It's got to be about Magneto and Professor X

NO. NO IT DOES NOT, SINGER. The whole point of the fucking movie is that it's about the formation of the X-Men, their early days. There's no absolute need to have Magneto involved at all. Plus, it might be noted, that MAGNETO'S BEEN THE BAD GUY IN ALL THREE X-MEN MOVIES, INCLUDING THE TWO YOU'VE ALREADY DONE. We've seen Magneto. We know his deal. I think I speak for most nerds when I say PICK SOMEONE ELSE. It's not like the X-Men are hurting for enemies here. Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister, the Hellfire Club... hell, I'll take Mojo at this point. Just something new, please. 

Those hard-hitting journalists and masters of placing two images next to each other at Comic Book Movie.com have found a picture of Ryan Reynolds, who's just begun shooting Green Lantern in New Orleans, wearing the Green Lantern power ring! I know! I can hardly stop masturbating long enough to type this article! But check out this incredible pic!
​See? There's a small smudge on Reynolds' right hand! It's got to be the ring! Or some dirt! Or a smudge on the camera! Since the picture is from 300 feet or so away and blurry besides, it's a little difficult to tell! But it's probably the ring! And one day, when we can distinguish any possible characteristics about it, it'll be super-exciting! WHEEEEEEEE

​It's the first poster for the Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World movie, and while it's not the most exciting movie poster in the world, it very much seems like an image that could have come directly from the wonderful Bryan Lee O'Malley comic. I can't tell you how excited I am about this flick, not only because I love the comics, but also because Shaun of the Dead's Edgar Wright is directing it; I can't think of another director and project so well suited to each other. Frankly, if I had to decide between seeing only this and Tron: Legacy, I'd probably just explode. I know there's some people out there who are concerned about/hate Michael Cera, but I'm not. It's not his fault that his fantastic role/performance in Arrested Development created Hollywood's love of the "Michael Cera-type," or that he's been cast exclusively in those roles; I think he probably has some range, and he'll be able to show it off in Scott Pilgrim. For Cera to not only hold his own with the comedy geniuses of Arrested Development but actually steal scenes from them, well, he gets the benefit of the doubt in my book, at least.

​First of all, the good news: there's going to be a 6-inch, Marvel Legends-sized Iron Man 2 movie toyline, and it's going to include Tony Stark in his awesome suitcase armor, seen above, and also known as the Mark V. Now, the bad news: this line is going to be a Wal-Mart exclusive. Goddammit. I hate store exclusive toys, and now that entire toylines are becoming exclusive and not just certain figures in those toylines, it's getting even more absurd. As far as I know, the only three figures in this 6-inch series will be this guy, the Mark VI (that's the new armor with the triangle arc reactor) and War Machine, which most of us will never see on pegs. Thanks for the awesome figures we'll never get, Hasbro. Much appreciated. (Via Marvelous news)

​Erg... wait a minute... I just gave myself a little nerdgasm akin to Batman wielding a lightsaber at the idea of Jango Fett actually being a Green Lantern. Pffuhh... okay. Okay. I'm done.

Temuera Morrison, who played Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones, has signed on to be alien ring-passer Abin Sur in the Green Lantern movie. I was about to type that I didn't think much of Morrison's acting ability in AotC, but then I realized practically no one had a good performance in the Star Wars prequels because George Lucas is a terrible director of actors, so honestly, I have no idea how talented Morrison is or isn't. Anyways, he'll assumably be pink. Also, actor/quirky indie comedy-romance Eagle Vs. Shark director/fellow New Zealander Taika Waititi has been hired to play Hal Jordan's Eskimo buddy Rex Dart Thomas Kalmaku. (Via Hollywood Reporter)

​We all know that, according to Nerd Law, Batman always wins. But Batman with a lightsaber? I would think even a shark would have enough survival instinct not to fuck with Batman holding a lightsaber. Thanks to everyone who sent this in. (Via Nerdcore)

​• This weekend at the Emerald City Comic Con, Boom! Studios announced they would be publishing a new Darkwing Duck comic series. I know you guys have a lot of love for the terror that flaps in the night, so I thought you'd be interested. It's a 4-issue mini-series debuting in June. (Via Comics Alliance)

• Also, DC will be starting a new Batman Beyond comic, also in June. This is after Terry McGinnis makes an appearance in this year's Superman/Batman Annual... alongside someone -- or something -- named Superman Beyond. Huh. (Via Robot 6)

• Marvel handed out guitar picks at the Kirby Krackle concert at the con bearing the acronym "O.M.I.T." Obviously, the obvious guess is that Marvel is doing some kind of O.M.A.C.-type thing (especially since Jack Kirby created O.M.A.C. for DC, and it was a Kirby Krackle concert) but other theories are welcome.

It's nice to finally get a good look at the Iron Man 2 War Machine armor. As you can see, he has retractable weapons in his shoulders and the gun can be mounted on either side of his head, and the armor is designed such that Cheadle can even move his fingers. The helmet retracts upward so that... so that... his face, why isn't his expression changing oh my god it's a toy, it's another 12-inch action figure from Hot Toys ARRRRGGHHH HOOOTTTTT TTOOOOOOYYYSSSSSSSS (Via ToysREvil)

It's not new footage, but someone dug up all the previously released Iron Man 2 clips and added them to last week's supremely badass two-minute trailer, and voila -- an incredibly awesome four-minute Iron Man 2 trailer. It's pretty well edited, but let's face facts, I just really wanted to run something happy after The Other Story, and Tony Stark's suitcase armor was the first thing I thought of. (Via FilmDrunk)
