Batman vs Superman Officially Has a Title, Logo Revealed

The much anticipated sequel to Man of Steel finally has an official title. Last week Zack Snyder gave us a sneak peek at the new Ben Affleck batsuit and Batmobile and today Warner Brothers released a new logo that is a hybrid of the Batman and Superman insignias. The movie will no longer be known as Batman vs. Superman. It will now be known as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

I wish Warner Brothers would get it right. Maybe one day.

The Music of DC Comics: 75th Anniversary Collection

My wife picked up a copy of "The Music of DC Comics: 75th Anniversary Collection" a couple of weeks off of Amazon for me and I have been enjoying it ever since. The CD includes 31 theme songs from DC's long line of comic book characters TV series and movies. This just isn't a bunch of re-done instrumental versions. These are the actual themes we all love from the TV series and movies. This is one of the best mixes of Super Hero themes I have heard in a long time. I love it so much I think it should have been a 2 disc CD. Wish The Challenge of the Super Friends, The Flash TV series, The New Adventures of Batman, and to many others to mention were part of this collection too. I put together a a semi sample of the CD below using the best copies a could find. Take a listen and hear for yourself this fine collection of music.

Smallville: Absolute Justice Was Full of Geek Greatness!

I can't help but think what a great job Geoff Johns did writing Smallville's most recent two episodes. It was absolutely full of Easter Eggs.

Everything from references to the Super friends, the troubalert, the Golden Age to the Silver Age (terms used to designate the change of Super Hero costumes and back stories) Golden Age events generally took place from the late 30's to late 40's and the Golden Age is a reference from 1956 to 1970.

Something else I thought was a nice touch was the addition of the original Red Tornado, Abigail Hunkel, was genius (although I did not know that there was a Golden Age version of the character until now). You can see a photo of the character below.



The character was actually very popular back in her day and was in the first adventure of the Justice Society of America, having a cameo and attempting to apply for membership into the JSA. Although she split her pants and she had to leave before completing her application the JSA made her an honorary member.

I would love to see more episodes like this, but I know budget restraints prevent that from happening. Also, the show is primarily about Superman, not the Justice League.

So what did everyone else think? Did you like the episodes? Let's hear from you.
