Okay guys, I got some news from the show floor of the first day I MUST share.

First up is the highlight of the day the premiere of the comic-con exclusive Iron Man trailer. I have not seen it yet, but expect it to leak sooner or later. From what was described the fanboys went nuts when it was shown. Iron Man was flying around with jets near the end and a gunman who tried to shot him in the back of the head was shown having his bullet bounce right off the armour and straight back into his face! Bam! Don't mess with Stark!

If anything can believed from the trailer the movie shall please all Iron Man lovers everywhere. Then again, the final verdict will reside with our all knowing Stark fan, Dl.

Next up, for those surfing the net and have discovered J.J. Abrams viral trailer for his codenamed movie 'Cloverfield' (Which is only the project name not the actual movie title) theres some news. The rumours that it is a Godzilla remake aren't true but Abrams has announced that he wants to make a pure American Monster movie that is like the Japanese classics of old that will make US audiences love Giant Monster films. If he can make something that can fill the void of King of the Monsters retirement then I'm all for it.

Also there is some news about Indiana Jones 4, first off Marion Ravenwood is back with Karen Allen once again taking up the role. Shia Lebeouf may also actually be playing Indy's son with Marion as his mother. I have to say, as a big Indiana Jones fan that is some good news to me. I always thought Marion was the best girl for Indy to settle down with. The news that this will be Indy's final adventure before a new series of films is taken up by Shia has me enthralled. Ever since I was a kid Indiana Jones has been my hero, hell I can't count how many time I renacted that rolling boulder scene from Raiders of the Lost ark using a giant plastic ball and a ramp. I think this movie is going to be a good close to Indy's films and a good start to the new franchise, whether or not I will watch Shia as the new Dr. Jones is debatable. Not that I don't have faith in him, its just that I grew up with the old set of movies and I want to remember Indy in that form.

Now theres a hell of a lot more news circulating around Comic-con, I saw scenes of the movie adaption of the violent video game Postal which featured a bunch of Islamist Fundamentalists talking about becoming martyrs against the infidel. Their leader however dodges out of having to blow up himself by saying "I would, but Osama told me I can't." If you know about Postal though, you know nothing in that game in sacred expect the movie to be just as insane.

Also Superman/Doomsday premiered at the DC booth and there was also talk about upcoming movie adaptations from DC as well. Including Flash and Jonah Hex, so yeah a lot of news from DC.

I also gave a little snipet of news about the live action Teen Titans movie, its in the rumour section if you want to check it out.

Tommorow I'll be back with more updates from the show floor. So far its kick ass!

Postal... How that game and it's sequel can even exist when something like Manhunt 2 is given an AO rating is beyond my comprehension.

Trust me. I'll be looking for that Iron Man trailer. It'll leak before long. Verdict when It does.

Something big involving the Titans is supposed to be announced, so keeping an eye out on the news for the con might be a good idea. Rumors circulate that it might be confirmation of a second Titans series starring primarily older Titans, including Beast Boy and Raven. Something to keep an eye out for.

Today was kinda slow, but theres some news out there.

http://movies.ign.com/articles/808/808742p1.html

The link above leads to an arcticle on the the next Batman movie, titled the Dark Knight. As many know Heath Ledger is playing the Joker and to get people psyched for his return to screens as Batman's main antagonist there was a bit of viral marketing going on at Comic con. A alternate reality game if you will. People were distributed actual Dollar bills from registers at con that had taped over them joker faces and asked the question why so serious? when you add a dot com to that you end up at a site that begins your journey through San Diego apparently reeking havoc for the Joker to become one of his minions so to speak. There was also face pating to make you look like the evil clown involved at some point but it eventually all led to a password that you called that gave you a still for the movie and of course the trailer. Which had an explosing Batman logo and some dailogue from Joker.

'Starting tonight people will die, I'm a man of my word. HA HA HA!'

If the dialogue is any indication they've kept Joker's crazy murder spree insanity alive and well in the movie. You can check out the link to the trailer in the article posted above.

No news on the Iron Man trailer, but apparently there is a game coming out most likely along side the film. Despite the bad comments it has gotten at Gametrailers it looks good, obviously Tony Stark haters who are still pissed at how he acted in Civil War.

Speaking of games theres a LEGO Indiana Jones game coming out as well. The kooky nature that was described to me in the trailer says it will be in the same vein of humour done in the LEGO Star Wars games.

You can check them out over at Gametrailers.com

More news on Abrams secret project, he's revealed a teaser poster, the title may not be that of the actual film but it looks pretty cool.

I'm more intrigued

The new Titans East has been revealed. If you're anything like me, you won't like it:

So, let's see. There's Powerboy, a "hero" who was abusive to someone he supposedly loved, Lagoon Boy, an old and unpopular Young Justice character, some chick in purple I can't identify for the life of me, the recent Hawk and Dove, Vic and Vulcan.

So lets run down the members. Powerboy can die in a fire. Lagoon Boy is Aqualad without the legacy, and if they really needed a water character, even Aquagirl is more deserving then him. I have no idea who blondie is, so I could care less. Hawk and Dove are alright, but I can live without them both.

So that leaves only two. Vic is always win, and Vulcan looks pretty cool, and since I don't know much about him I'm willing to give him a shot. That's two out of seven.

No Gar. No Raven. Hell, not even Joey. What a complete f*cking letdown.

If I even touch this book, it'll be for Vic and Vulcan. Gar and Rae both have noplace to be now, so their in limbo. It stings even worse that this team utterly friggin SUCKS, which begs the question of why Gar and Rae aren't there.

I'm seriously depressed now. Thanks DC, you bunch of friggin tools.

If fan reaction is as bad as yours Dl, and I don't mean from just BB/Rae shippers like ourselves, then this team will be terminated faster then Beechan. I believe last time they tried to make a new team of Titans, Gar being the head of course, there was a massive beer keeger and a frat party that involved several wrecked apartment buildings and some drunken maddness. Could end up the same way... especially considering the um... questionable recruits.

Never the less, it seems we won't be seeing much for awhile with Gar and Raven. Unless another announcement pops its head up soon and sets some new chance up for us..

Yeah. The last Titans team, Titans LA, barely got off the ground before it was canned. Sadly, it's not for the same reasons this one sucks. It had a cast that was pretty cool in general. Beast Boy, Flamebird, Captain Marvel Jr, Bushido, Herald. Only questionable one was Terra II, and I could have lived with that.

This one... the team just sucks. Hawk and Dove, I could understand well enough. They've got nowhere to go. Titans books are the only places they've shown up in that matter, so if they're gonna get any face time and exposure, it'd be in a Titans book. I could care less about them, but I could live with them.

Powerboy is just bleh. As with Lagoon Boy. Then there's the girl I can't identify at all.

I'm not just the only one with this, but in general, the fan consensus thus far is that Vic and Vulcan are cool for the team, but no one likes the rest of the lineup.

I don't think that even with bad fan reaction, they'll terminate the team. Perhaps switch the roster around a bit, but they're seeming to be putting their weight behind the Titans lately, so we'll see.

But I will go on record in saying I absolutely abhore this lineup for a Titans team.

Check out the trailer there!

Azula looks amazing in that bikini-esque thing! And the second one that she's wearing reminds me of the Prince of Persia. And Toph needs new hair...other than that her outfit's pretty cool

Aang's headband=awesome.
