Based on the DC Comics series/graphic novel “Superman/Batman: Supergirl” by Jeph Loeb, Michael Turner & Peter Steigerwald, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse is produced by animation legend Bruce Timm and directed by Lauren Montgomery (Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths) from a script by Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Tab Murphy (Gorillas in the Mist).

In Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, a spaceship splashes down in Gotham City Harbor — leading Batman and Superman to encounter a mysterious Kryptonian with powers as great as those of the Man of Steel. The Kryptonian is soon revealed to be Kara, cousin of Superman, who takes her under his wing to educate her about the ways of Earth. However, the villainous Darkseid has other plans. Seeing an opportunity to finally defeat Superman, Darkseid abducts and gains control of Kara, utilizing the powerful Kryptonian to do his bidding. It’s up to Batman and Superman to save Kara, but they’ll have to take the fight to Darkseid within his hostile world – where unknown, deadly threats lurk around every corner, including a brainwashed Kryptonian able to match Superman blow-for-blow.

Fan favorites Tim Daly (Private Practice) and Kevin Conroy (China Beach) return to their seminal roles as Superman and Batman, respectively. The celebrity-laden guest cast is headed by Andre Braugher (Men of a Certain Age) as the daunting Darkseid. Sci-Fi heroine Summer Glau (Serenity/Firefly, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) provides the voice of Supergirl, and seven-time Emmy Award winner Ed Asner (Up) reprises his Superman: The Animated Series/Justice League role as Granny Goodness.

Produced by Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse will be distributed by Warner Home Video on September 28, 2010.

It’s sadly too late for your summer jam mix-tapes, but DC Comics has announced that it’s releasing a compilation of nearly every single DC-based movie, cartoon, live-action TV show theme song later this year. Along with stuff that’s been kicking around forever like John Williams’ Superman theme and the familiar opening to the 1960s Batman TV show, DC’s The Music Of DC Comics: 75th Anniversary Collection also contains many previously unreleased rarities like the long-lost soundtracks to the Aquaman, Green Lantern, and Hawkman cartoons, dating back to the music from Max Fleischer’s Superman. As Topless Robot says, just about the only glaring omission is the theme from the new Teen Titans (though we're sure you'll point out more), but at 31 tracks, you’ll still have plenty of mood music. Here’s the complete track list.

Superman, Batman, Charlie Chaplin, Darth Vader and many others marched on City Hall in Los Angeles today to protest the LAPD ban on costumed characters appearing outside Graiman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

You'll recall that well-known Superman fan and Christopher Reeve look-alike Christopher Dennis was recently arrested in Hollywood by the LAPD during their recent crack down on costumed characters. Dennis and friends got together to record a short video via Craigslist TV.

Producers at Craigslist TV planned to record the demonstration. We'll let you know if and when it's posted online.

Sent to VFK this morning was this fan-made trailer for Superman: Doomsday, designed as a live action follow-up to Superman Returns.

SaWeet!

I am assuming this first image is from the episode "Homecoming" (When Lois and Clark return to Smallville for their high school reunion)  Any takers as to who is doing the crucifying and why??  Smallville enthusiasts should have no problem with this one!

This picture is probably from the premier episode: "Lazarus"  So how do all of you think Jonathan returns from the dead?  Is it a dream? a flashback? or something else?  Leave your guess in the comments below..

I like the narration! It gives it that epic feel doesn't it?
