Today in Techland: Peter and Lev talk Batman 3 and look way silly playing Project Natal on The Techland Show. They so crazy. Douglas takes a look at comic Kick Ass in his weekly column Emanata, and Steve chats with Shutter Island author Dennis Lehane about the film adaptation of his novel, in theaters today. It’s …
Kick-Ass’ Mark Millar chats about making Iron Man costumes as a kid and wanting to work with John Romita Jr. for as long as they’re both alive. Titan Books will be releasing “Kick-Ass: Creating the Comic, Making the Movie” on February 23rd.

Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s miniseries Kick-Ass is, as the cover of the collected edition that came out this week indicates, “now a major motion picture”–or will be when the movie opens in April. Like Millar’s earlier Wanted, the comic book is written like an action movie, right down to the Bondian smart-ass wisecracks its …

Today in Techland: Peter and I wrote about another frustrating week of watching LOST, meanwhile Steve talked a little about James Cameron’s plans for the Avatar novel. He’s right, we won’t bet against Cameron either.
Meanwhile, Gary brought us a guide to bonus content for Resident Evil 5, soon to be …

Today in Techland: We watched Snoop Dog and Darth Vader invade Times Square on behalf of Adidas, Steve talked with Shawn Ashmore (Iceman from X-Men!) about his role in upcoming film Frozen, and Peter sat down with Marvel Comic scribe Matt Fraction, the man behind Iron Man. Peter’s also entering Wired‘s challenge …
More of the same, but still pretty kick-ass, right? April 16 can’t come soon enough.
Kick-Ass: “How do I get a hold of you?”
Hit Girl: “You just contact the mayor. He has a special signal he shines in the sky. It’s in the shape of a giant…WATCH THE TRAILER!”

Somehow we missed this on Sunday but better late than never. Here’s the final theatrical movie poster for Kick-Ass, which is based on John Romita Jr. and Mark Millar’s Icon comic book. I still think Nic Cage’s Big Daddy looks far too much like Batman and McLovin’s Red Mist is a little too over the top, but Kick-Ass and Hit Girl look spot …
Forget looking forward to 2010; I’ve already been impressed by a handful of 2010 titles.
We’ve already seen Daybreakers and The Book of Eli – both pretty captivating – and we’ve already moved on to obsessing about Legion. That is, when I’m not renting old-school sci-fi classics for our “Most Underrated Sci-Fi Masterpieces” …
The trailer was spectacular and appears to stay true to Mark Miller’s comic, but like Peter Sciretta over at Slash Film points out, these posters aren’t doing the film justice. They’re actually misleading and kind of dumb looking. Here’s Chloe Moretz posing as Mindy Macready aka Hit Girl posing atop a building much like Big Daddy …
