New column over at iFanboy.  
On the heels of The Dark Knight, Warner Bros. has announced plans to release more big budget superhero flicks in the coming years.  And they’re ready to up the angst.  What does this mean for Superman? 

Emo Kid From Krypton and the Future of the Comic Book Movie



I put together a short video of Wizard World Philadelphia just to give a feel for what it looks like.  I set up a Blip.TV channel, and it’s pretty intuitive.  Expect some more FT video content in the future.
