Inside Spider-man's Return and The Batman's Finale

This week marks a changing of the superhero guard on Kids' WB, the CW's Saturday-morning cartoon block. Swinging into the picture is The Spectacular Spider-Man, which makes its debut with back-to-back episodes (airing March 8 at 10 and 10:30 am/ET). That's followed at 11 am/ET by the hour-long series finale of The Batman. In his final adventure, Batman and Robin team up with Green Arrow to battle the Joining, an alien menace introduced in last year's season finale. This time around, the Joining steals the abilities of the superpowered Justice League members  Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman and Martian Manhunter  and transfers them into robotic androids. Though The Batman is ending its five-season run, Batfans still have plenty to look forward to: In addition to this summer's live-action theatrical The Dark Knight, rumor has it that a new Batman TV 'toon modeled after the comic book The Brave and the Bold is in the pipeline.

Inside Spider-man's Return and The Batman's Finale

Exclusive: Batman Nabs Mulroney for Green Lantern

Following visits by Superman, Green Arrow and the Flash earlier this fall, Green Lantern is the next super-friend to guest-star on the CW's Saturday-morning serial The Batman. Dermot Mulroney (My Best Friend's Wedding) will voice the hero who shows up in the Dec. 8 episode to enlist the Caped Crusader's help in battling arch-nemesis Sinestro.Mulroney has deep ties to these superheroes. His brother and sister-in-law, Kieran and Michelle Mulroney, penned the upcoming live-action film Justice League of America, which includes Batman and Green Lantern. "Kieran and I grew up reading DC Comics," Mulroney says. "We had a whole system where, once a week, we'd take a trip to the little store that sold the comics. I have a couple of brothers, and we'd fight over who got which issue. There's a long history of comics in the family."There are many different Green Lanterns in comic lore, but the version Mulroney plays is perhaps the most iconic: test pilot Hal Jordan, who has a somewhat uneasy re...

Let Us Give Thanks For Bones, Family Guy and Veronica Mars

I know last week I said this column would be all about The O.C., but seeing how so many of us are off for the rest of the week, I figured, lets hold that til next week when were all back at work and trolling the web. Instead, I offer you one last pre-Thanksgiving batch of shows on DVD you cant help but be grateful for.Veronica Mars All three seasons, all wondrous in their own way and all the Kristen Bell you need to know that the woman is a star. The only downside is the lack of gratitude one might experience at the CWs cancellation of this prime property.Bones Let me put it this way: this show is a scream. And if youre not hip to season 3 running on FOX right now, get there and grab the first two seasons available on your way. David Boreanaz may actually be the funniest handsome man on TV right now. And Emily Deschanel? Shes grown on me. Give her a shot, people. House isnt Tuesday nights only great show. (Oh and check out my q&...

Brandon Routh Takes Us Inside the Superman Returns DVD

Superman may be faster than a speeding bullet, but Superman Returns took an arduous 117 days to hit the $200 million mark at the box office. While this was a bit of a disappointment (considering the movie’s price tag which, including development, totaled around $250 million), the film was generally well reviewed, as was its strikingly handsome star, Brandon Routh. Warner Bros. has greenlit another movie, signing on Routh and director Bryan Singer for another stab at the Man of Steel’s quest for truth, justice and all that stuff. The film is tentatively set to open in 2009, but in the meantime, Superman Returns arrives on DVD today. Among the bonus f
