Oh man, everyone in the comic book media game decided to overload the circuits with a flood of casting announcements yesterday! What are YOU...

This gets a HYPE ALERT rating since I'm in it, but Marisa Stotter's documentary She Makes Comics will finally be available on December 9th—either...

Suicide Squad is the first of a variety of DC movies based on non Superman or Batman heroes, set for August 5, 2016, and Variety has just listed the cast and its a big one:

With nothing else to do but digest turkey and fight crowds, the internerd has quickly turned, just as we knew it would, to the "Claymore" lightsabre in the new Star Wars: TFA trailer. This lightsaber not only has a blade, but two mini lightsabers coming out of each hilt, reminiscent of the real universe blade the Claymore, a giant sword that had little swords as hilts. The "Claymore saber" would seem to be highly...cumbersome to use as you would be in eminent danger of stabbing yourself with your own hilt at all times. But...it looks cool, so what.

The Guardians of the Galaxy dvd comes out next week (BluRay following a few weeks later) and director James Gunn is making the press rounds to promote the extras, including stuff that was left out of the ending:

You know how sometimes people "Float an idea"? Well I think this idea is floating in a little leaky toy boat that will soon sink to the bottom of nightmare pool. According to Latino Review the Sony movie folks are now so flummoxed about what to do with the Spider-Man franchise that they are thinking about making a solo Aunt May movie. Now your first thought on this would be, "Oh like The Whales of August or Philomena? Well Helen Mirren and Judi Dench are always looking for good roles." But the idea is young Aunt May as...a spy?

#doomergate? It's about ethics in the Baxter Building? Is Amanda Palmer writing "A Poem for Domashev?"

Jeebus it's dueling franchises today as the actual title of Star Wars Vii, the very first SEQUEL was released. And it's...

The first trailer for the final Peter Jackson movie set in Middle Earth has been released, and it seems The Hobbit; The Battle of the Five Armies will be a three hour battle scene between small dots representing orcs and small dots representing elves. Along the way Lee Pace, Richard Armitage, Martin Freeman, Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom and many other hot hot guys will glower and look sad while getting shouty about who gets to battle where. I'm there.

Feeling a little overwhelmed by the vast movie slates announced by Sony, Marvel and WB? So are we, but here's a chart helpfully put together by our own Tireless Torsten Adair and edited by the Beat that shows 58 superhero, comic book, cartoon, Star Wars and Harry POtter movies between now and the next US Census.

More Marvel footage unless you are totally over it already.

Marvel Studios is holding a press conference at 2 pm edt/11pdt today and you can follow along at the Marvel live blog, or Twitter or smokesignals, or whatever method you prefer. While most guess it could be about the 'Batch being cast as Doctor Strange, it could also be about other mystery slots in the movie schedule, or it could be the Age of Ultron trailer that was supposed to officially debut tonight, or about Katee Sackhoff starring as lady Captain Marvel in Avengers 3.
