Designer Adam Levermore wants to work on the S.H.I.E.L.D TV show. So he made this movie as a job application. Lots of fun Avengers references. Good luck, sir.

Unfortunately, Dredd 3D had a very bad opening weekend.

The storyboard artist for Man of Steel spoke to Sci-Fi Zone (via CBM) about Zack Snyder's film.

Robert Rodriguez told Shock Till Ya Drop that Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is "going to be closer to the source material than before."

Andrew Waugh (via Geek Art) did his own unique version of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.

Kevin Feige spoke to Moviefone about taking risks in Phase Two of Marvel Cinematic Universe:

For Phase 2, play the long game, stick with what you believe in, and when there is a fork in the road and one seems safer and maybe a little boring, and one seems risky and harder, we always go the risky and harder way. That's what people will see in "Iron Man 3," "Thor: Dark World," "Captain America: Winter Soldier" and certainly in "Guardians of the Galaxy," which is one of the ones that I'm most excited about because it's so outside the box and so weird and so different. People like grand experiments and things that haven't been done before, the unexpected.

Distractotron (via Fashionably Geek) did this Marvel cosplay video.Toy News SI posted several images of this gorgeous Dark Knight Rises 6 inch figure.

Was 1960s Batman the greatest guy ever? Gamma Squad thinks so.
