Hollywood may be synonymous with moviemaking, but when it comes to iconic cinematic landmarks, few cities can beat New York, NY. The Big Apple’s many facets are well represented in every type of story, for every type of person — including, of course, geeky types like us. While all the other tourists are running to Katz’s Deli to pay way too much for the sandwiches Sally made famous in When Harry Met Sally, BuzzFeed’s guide to nerd-friendly New York City spots will direct you to Avengers HQ and the future home of Planet Express. Check it out after the jump.

Not only were the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles radical, there were radically different versions of the characters over the past few decades. Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo and Raphael started as a very dark comic book series, were developed into kid-friendly toys, then a popular, bright TV show, live action movie characters and most recently CG animated characters in a film that tried to bring the series back to its roots. Now, there’s even a reboot in the works. Basically, while we all know the Cowabunga-yelling, pizza-eating, free-wheeling version of the Turtles, that’s not all they are.
To hammer home the many interpretations of the Turtles, The Autumn Society created and presented Shell Shock: A TMNT Art Show and Tribute at Brave New Comics in Philadelphia. It closes on June 29 so, after the jump, find out more information, watch a video and see some of the art. Read More »
The time has come to really re-launch the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. A new movie is in development at Paramount and Platinum Dunes (Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec were just hired to rewrite it) and Nickelodeon will air a new animated show starting in the fall of 2012. Now we’ve got the voice cast for the quartet. Sean Astin will voice red-masked, sai-wielding Raphael, and he reveals that Rob Paulsen, who voiced Raphael in the original ’90s animated series, will voice Donatello. Jason Biggs will be Leonardo, and Greg Cipes (Ben 10) is Michelangelo. Read More »
In the wake of WonderCon there are a great many little comic book tidbits floating around, so let’s start with Stan Lee. With summer approaching he is talking about cameos. To THR he jokes that he’d like to be in The Dark Knight Rises (“I wonder why DC Comics doesn’t have me do a cameo in Batman? Just think how people would come to see that. They wouldn’t believe it.”) and to Digital Spy he sings his own praises in Thor: “…like all [my other cameos] it is magnificent. It’s the high spot of the movie. I’m a little sorry about these cameos because people are so affected by them and influenced by them they don’t notice what else is going on in the movie.”
Oh, and the creator of Spider-Man doesn’t have a problem with a British actor playing his creation (“I think the more actors that we use from away in other countries is brilliant,” he says, “because we are one world and we’ve got to stick up for that.”) not that we expected to hear anything else. Stan Lee isn’t really a guy that’s going to start raging against the studio system now. But it’s good to get his blessing, I suppose.
After the break, Arnold Schwarzenegger talks about his new creation, Ryan Reynolds talks superheroes and there are new TMNT character posters. Read More »

It seems like only yesterday we were showing you the first image of Nickelodeon’s new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. In fact, it was two days ago. To quickly refresh your memory: Nickelodeon bought the rights to the reptilian heroes for $60 million back in 2009, and quickly made plans for a feature film and a brand-new television series for the characters. Last night, the network unveiled a first glimpse at the turtles in action — as well as what appears to be the new logo for the show. Read more after the jump.

Yes, that’s right — there’s another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series in the works, over at Nickelodeon. As you may recall, the cable network purchased the rights to the turtles from Mirage Group and 4Kids Entertainment for $60 million back in 2009. Rumors at the time suggested that Nickelodeon was planning a new CG-animated series and a feature film for their recently acquired brand, and today we got our first look at the new show. See the first image after the jump.
