Hopefully Green Lantern does well at the box office. If it doesn't, the chances that the only DC superhero movies we will ever see are Batman and Superman increase.

I wasn't massively keen on the trailer but I might still go see it, there are a heck of a lot of hero movies coming out this year though.

Wasn't there going to be a Green Arrow film? What happened to that?

[Memento Mori]

David S. Goyer and Justin Marks penned a script for a movie starring Green Arrow originally called Super Max. On June 5, 2008, the film was retitled Green Arrow: Escape from Super Max. The reported storyline is that the hero (framed for a crime he didn't commit) must escape a high security prison filled with B and C list villains and rogue superheroes.

MTV posted an interview with Marks on its site in 2008. In it, he says the following:

"It's a very, very awesome prison. I majored in architecture in college, and design is how I actually started in. For 'Super Max,' designing that prison, it had to be the kind of thing that was a character in and of itself," Marks said. "We're in a world where instead of just trying to contain a guy who's really big, you're trying to contain a guy who can — in the case of Icicle — who can freeze things. What kind of a cell would a guy like that need in order to have his powers neutralized? So to escape from Super Max they have got to go through the most elaborate heist we've ever seen, involving superpowers. Because the prison itself kind of has superpowers!" He added that Black Canary won't be making an appearance in the film, and that it will include cameos from the Riddler, Lex Luthor and the Joker.

A script for a Flash film is apparently being written as well.

Henry Cavill is Superman

Henry Cavill has been chosen to play Superman in Zack Snyder's upcoming Man of Steel reboot.

The 27-year-old British actor has previously starred in TV series The Tudors and movies The Count Of Monte Cristo, Stardust and Whatever Works.

Previous actors to have played Superman on screen include George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain and Brandon Routh.

Director Zack Snyder said of Cavill's casting: "In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognised and revered character of all time, and I am honoured to be a part of his return to the big screen.

"I also join Warner Bros, Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield.”

Snyder's untitled Superman movie, to be produced by Christopher Nolan, will open in cinemas worldwide in December 2012.

Cavill can next be seen in Immortals and thriller The Cold Light Of Day.

Also that Green Arrow script sounds potentially amazing if it happens.

[Deception]

Michael Scofield called, he wants his face back.

There was nothing wrong with Brandon Routh. Infact he was pretty great in the role. The problems with the movie had nothing to do with him. Anyway, this guy was pretty great in The Tudors so I have high hopes.

This.

[chalkitdown]

I didn't say the movie was terrible all round. Infact I quite like it.

Wasn't Brandon Routh cast solely for his resemblance to Christopher Reeve?

[Memento Mori]

Superman Returns is the worst film I have actually paid money to see.

[Godzilla]

Up to and including the plan crash Superman Returns is awesome, then it just has no place to go.

One great thing about it is the opening credits....
