And in this beautiful world of social media, we get to share in the joy of his gym experience (not unlike watching Henry Cavill get in shape for Man of Steel) . Platt posted the pic on Instagram with this caption: Six months no beer. #GOTG Kinda douchey to post this but my brother made me.

The Original Cover For Frank Miller’s THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS Can Be Yours… For $500,000
Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns is about as influential as any work can be. Alongside, The Watchmen, which was released the same year of 1986, TDKR made people stand up and take comics seriously. So it’s not shocking that an auction of the Frank Miller’s hand-drawn cover for issue No. 2 in the four-part series is going for big bucks at auction. The cover, which is the first from The Dark Knight Returns series to hit the market, is expected to go for as much as $500,000 when it is sold by Heritage Auctions.

MAN OF STEEL Easter Egg Hints At Darkseid Connection
I haven’t posted many of the Man of Steel easter eggs because, really, most weren’t that interesting. But the latest one discovered by Cosmic Book News could actually hint at not just a broader universe, but also a Darkseid connection. In the image above you see the WGBS call sign, which as CBN points out is the flagship station of Morgan Edge’s Galaxy Communications. In the comics, Edge is connected to Darkseid’s Apokolips-sponsored crime organisation Intergang, even if only by way of cloning. Could this mean that we have Darkseid in our future? Well, if Warner Bros. knows what’s good for them… Source:...

See Christopher Reeve’s Face CGI’ed Into MAN OF STEEL Scene
When you’re making a Superman movie, you always have the Christopher Reeve monkey on your back. For many, he still is Superman. So the Man of Steel filmmakers gave Reeve a subtle nod in the scene where Henry Cavill’s Superman powers through stronger gravity than is usual on earth to take on Zod’s world builder weapon. You can see Reeve in the GIF above as Cavill turns his head up to the sky. Now, let’s see if someone finds a nod to Kirk Alyn. Source:...

Rick Santorum: Movie Producer
You see that picture above? That’s one of the happiest moments of my adult life. No, not making a little girl cry, but rather watching Sen. Rick Santorum concede. In 2006, I was a resident of Pennsylvania and placed one very important vote, for Bob Casey, Jr. That meant the junior senator from Pennsylvania and incumbent loon Rick Santorum lost his seat in the U.S. Senate. Oh, happy day. When Santorum became a front-runner for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, I thought I was living in bizzaro world. How could he, of all people, make a comeback? Google problem aside, this was a man who was so crazy that Pennsylvanians ousted him in favor of Casey by nearly 20 points. That’s not just a thumping. That’s a blow-out. Santorum lost the nomination for president. And I thought we’d never have to...
