Dustin Harbindrew this cool little sketch of Spider-Man visiting the library. Sort of speaks for itself.
YouTube userSillayJ(viaLeo_neee) created a trailer forBatman: Arkham Cityusing footage from the movies. It’s actually kind of backwards, if you think about it, but figured we’d post it none the less.
DirectorMarc Webbsays that Dr. Curt Connors, The Lizard, is the “literal embodiment” of the themes ofThe Amazing Spider-Manin aninterview with io9:
What’s great about Kurt Connors is he is both a mentor and an adversary in some way, which I think is so interesting. He believes what he is doing is good and to me there is a thematic quality to the film, this movie is about finding their missing piece. Peter Parker, his parents left him, and he goes out searching for his father at the beginning of the movie and Kurt Connors has this missing arm, and he goes out trying to get his arm back in some way. It’s this search, this desire to fill the void that defines us in some way and I thought Kurt Connors was a literal embodiment of the theme of the movie. The Lizard is just a rad, very cinematic creature.
Could we see anAvengersthemed TV show? According toClark Gregg, aka Agent Coulson, it’s a possibility. Kind of. Thanks toMTV News.
He left us a signal. Just use your hands. Thanks toBlame It On The Voices(viaThe Daily What).
