Aiight, cuzzo. As you should know Marvel is planning on releasing an ass-load of movies in the near future but they aren't the only comic book company with a ton of movies in production. DC Comics is also working to control the box office in the next few years. It was reported by The Hollywood Reporter that even though it seem like Marvel controls the news, it is in fact DC that has more movies in production. Along with upcoming release of Green Lantern, DC is making films for The Flash, Teen Titans, Jonah Hex, Human Target, Red, Aquaman, Shazam, Bizarro Superman and The Losers. Warner Brothers has also hired a few of DC's biggest writers to to serve as consultants of the movies. It looks like DC is going to give Marvel a run for it's money. Check out the article.

In other DC news, The Hollywood Reporter also reported that the dispute over the rights of the Superman franchise was won by DC Comics and Warner Brothers, meaning that the heir of the creators will receive revenue from Superman Returns released in 2006. Also the judge gave Warner Brothers until 2013 to release another Superman film or their copyright expires and the rights of Superman goes to the heirs. This means when the copyright expires in 2013, Superman will basically be up for grabs. Superman can possibly become a Marvel character. The thing is, there is no work being done on another movie right now so we could see Superman on the Marvel brand in 5 years. I have to admit, that would be pretty sick. What do y'all think? Do you Marvel could do a better job with Superman franchise? Check out the full article. [Superman Trial] What if?
