When it comes to comic book supremacy at the box office, it's still pretty clear that Marvel has done a better job manufacturing hits than has its rival, DC Comics. Even with the towering success of The Dark Knight, there have only been four DC films to ever gross over $200 million in the U.S., and two of those feature Batman and the Joker. Marvel, on the other hand, has four franchises that have posted a total of seven $200 million flicks since 1997, in the form of Spider-Man, X-Men, Men in Black, and Iron Man.

There has been some question for a while about what DC Comics will do moving forward; Superman Returns was not what everyone thought it could be, and that franchise may now be in for another retooling. Anne Thompson at Variety says that Warner Bros., which has enjoyed all of this Batman success, may want to similarly

First of all, I’m really hoping that picture is what War Machine looks like in Iron Man 2. Please, let us all have a moment of silence for the awesomeness that is that comic-book cover image. Thank you. Now for the goods, War Machine is officially joining the fray in the insanity that is Secret Invasion. For those of you unfamiliar with the current Marvel Comics crossover, the Skrulls, a race of shape-shifters that can mimic anyone or anything they see, have infiltrated the ranks of the superhuman, thus plotting a massive takeover like you would not believe. You can’t trust anyone, and there have been tons of twists and turns up to this point.  Really, it is all very kick ass. War Machine is getting a big push, an on-going series of his own, all timed perfectly to get you pumped for the next movie, I’m guessing,

Robert Downey Jr. may only be spoofing, as he reportedly does to hilarious effect playing a white Australian actor playing an African-American soldier in Tropic Thunder, but he has boldly given The Dark Knight its worst review yet. When asked during an interview with MovieHole.net about the Batman sequel, Downey said that he "didn't get it. ... [I] still can't tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character." He said that while watching the movie, it dawned on him, "I get it. This is so high-brow and so f***ing smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie." He then added, "You know what? F*** DC comics. That's all I have to say and that's where I'm really coming from." Last month, Downey starred as Iron Man, created by DC comics' principal rival, Marvel.

The saga of the Punisher: War Zone movie production has got to be one of the most soap-opera-ish things I’ve seen in the time I’ve been covering movie news here on Screen Rant. Rarely have I seen such angst and pain among not only fans of the comic book character that is being brought to the big screen, but movie fans in general.

Of course the roots run deep… all the way back to 1989 when New World Pictures brought us the first Punisher movie, starring of all people Swedish-born Dolph Lundgren playing the title character that was supposed to be a hard-boiled New York City cop. At the time he was considered “hot,” having come off of a couple of Rocky movies, and some genius thought it would be a great idea to cast him in the role.

Actually, if you want a good laugh, I’d recommend

Oh man, these link articles are too much fun... Update: Just got word the Dark Knight Returns fan made poster I mention below was made by Chris Pick and he posted it over at the SuperheroHype forums. Nice work Chris! Here's the poster for those that haven't seen it. Warner Bros. chief Alan Horn talked to Variety about the upcoming DC Comics film and the big revelation is that it's "maddening". Yeah, it was hard hitting stuff. However, it does talk about Chris Nolan and the possibility of him returning for a third film in the Batman franchise he has created. There's a deal for the director to helm a third pic, but he has yet to decide on whether to tackle it yet. Horn then says, "We have no idea where Chris is going with this. We haven't had any conversations with him about it." Speaking of Batman, click

In order to offer fans a little treat during the wait for the "Iron Man" DVD release, Access Hollywood recently released a deleted scene from Jon Favreau's accclaimed action hit, which will hit shelves Sept. 30, 2008. No, it's not an explosive action scene, but it's hot enough to capture your attention for a few minutes.

In the scene below, Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) sets up a party in Dubai, where he's embraced by plenty of good-looking women. Need I say more? Check out the clip below.

It has been a long time in coming, but it now appears that Warner Bros. has finally decided to make use of their stable of DC Comics characters.

Following the financial and critical success of The Dark Knight Warner Bros. has realized that they are sitting on a gold mine - not only from box office receipts, but also from DVD, television, video games and other sources of revenue.

Last month the company held a strategy meeting in an attempt to figure out what was needed in order for them to match Marvel Comics in the comic book movie stakes, and it would appear that they have finally come up with a plan.

Variety spoke with Warner Bros head honchos Jeff Robinov and Alan Horn who touched on topics such as the sequel to The Dark Knight (and director Chris Nolan’s involvement), the development of DC Characters movies and

Ok, so we know Iron Man now has a foursome between Tony Stark and three hotties thanks to a deleted scene, and that's something new for a comic book movie. Well how about Watchmen's attempted rape?

Uh-huh, you heard me. Carla Gugino, who plays Sally Jupiter/Silk Spectre in the adaptation, told MTV that filming the scene in which her character is attacked by the Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) was "brutal." Hooded Justice ultimately saves the day and prevents the rape, but certainly the intention is there. And director Zack Snyder wanted that intention to be very clear.

“That was one of the things Zack said to me from the start: ‘I really want this to be incredibly brutal. It’s not a turn-on kind of story. It’s bad.’ It’s important that we did that," said Gugino. "I think hopefully it will be really powerful.”

Since word hit that the Green Lantern movie had been green-lit, people have been tossing out all kinds of theories about how the story of Hal Jordan’s transformation into Earth’s emerald protector would be told. Well, the Green Lantern script has recently been obtained by some bloggers with good connections, and we here at Screen Rant have the break down for ya.

First off: this movie is going to be Epic. Writers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green seem to have really captured the essence of the Green Lantern comic: namely that the Green Lantern Corp is a force of good trying to police the universe, and that Hal Jordan, with his indomitable will, is the greatest Green Lantern of all.

(It always gives me chills when I know the filmmakers have recognized the essence of the source material.)

A second thing you should know: this flick

With Iron Man hitting video shelves on September 30th, Marvel and Paramount have leaked a deleted scene from the film to generate a ton of free publicity. And here's the best part: They were holding out on us. This scene actually rocks.

Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow are the featured performers, however, I can't take my eyes off their co-stars, and I think that's by design. Billionaire industrialist and bad boy Tony Stark takes home three ready and willing brunettes in the scene. That's right: It's our first Marvel foursome ever captured on film. Or the build-up to that, anyway.

It also provides a much-needed plot point, transitioning Stark from the West Coast to the Middle East. The scene takes place at Stark's home in Dubai, which just adds to the whole billionaire-who-could-score-a-foursome mystique of the character. But Marvel has never had a hero with this kind of sexual appetite before,

Access Hollywood were given a three and a half minute deleted scene that we will be getting on the upcoming Iron Man DVD. The scene shows what happens when Tony Stark wants to throw a last minute party at his house in Dubai. I can see why it was deleted…

Zac Efron feels the need for speed – at least he did while at the Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., recently where he practiced racing an Audi R8. The High School Musical 3 star hit the racetrack for a day of joyriding as part of the Audi Driving Experience. But first things first: The heartthrob sat through an hour long training session and then some breaking and acceleration warm ups. Then it was time to slip into the $118,000 car that most recently drew attention as character Tony Stark's speed machine in Iron Man. It was all quite the adrenaline rush for Efron

Seriously, I’m asking: will Tropic Thunder, the much-hyped comedy starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. (in black face, no less,) really have enough, well, thunder, to knock The Dark Knight out of its top spot at the box office on its one-month anniversary?

If you think about it, Tropic Thunder has a lot of the same things going for it that Dark Knight did:

A) Controversy. Dark Knight had the morose intrigue of Heath Ledger’s final cinematic turn as The Joker of our time. Tropic Thunder has two major controversies surrounding it: Robert Downey Jr.’s stereotypical portrayal of an African-American, complete with black-face, and, what some “activists” are alleging is the film’s overly-cruel mockery of mentally challenged people. (Regarding Downey in black-face: as a part of that club, I have to say I’m fine with it. Tropic Thunder is a satire, not a spoof,

Many of you may know already, that I spend alot of money on DVDs. I love DVD box-sets, in a wholly unhealthy way. The most wasteful thing, is buying a box-set when you already own the movie...and you find that it was totally not worth it. Well you don't already ...

Before The Dark Knight came along and stole its thunder, Iron Man was the biggest movie of the year. Although Iron Man was great for its mastery of the comic book action-comedy pool, The Dark Knight reignited and some would say reinvented the superhero genre altogether, already earning respect as a legitimate American classic. Poor Iron Man is suddenly yesterday's news. Is Robert Downey Jr. bitter at all?
