IMAX Corporation and Warner Bros. Pictures, a unit of Time Warner Inc., announced today that they have completed an agreement to release up to 20 Warner Bros. films in IMAX’s format over the course of the next three and a half years from 2010 through 2013.

This agreement will bring more 2D and 3D movies to the IMAX format.  The two companies have already been working together on many projects so it came as no surprise to hear the news but why make it a formal announcement?

Other exciting news from the announcement included mention of several movies along with their tentative release dates.  Some of the movies we already knew of and others moved from the realm of rumor into real projects.  Please keep in mind some of the dates are just hopeful ones and not set in stone.  Take for instance the Hobbit, they are still in script work and at the time of writing this they probably don't even have a finalized budget yet.  Though with out any hiccups they could have the movie out by the date listed.

• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (3D) November 19, 2010


• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II (3D) July 15, 2011


• Hobbit: Part 1 December 2012


• Hobbit: Part II December 2013


• Batman 3


• Superman

Since Batman 3 is in the early stages of development please do several things for everyone's sake.

• More detective elements like in the last Batman movie.


• Study the Levitt Paridigm, please!  We can handle several plots going on in a movie but give us one main plot per movie.  Don't try to cram two movies into one!  This one should be about Harvey Dent who should have been introduced and set up in the last one but now what?

Don't reboot Superman again I liked the last one which says a lot since I usually don't like Superman.  Maybe for fun make Solomon Grundy the villain for this one.

What would you want to see in the next Batman and Superman film?

Starting in July J. Michael Straczynski will take over DC Comics' Superman and Wonder Woman on an ongoing basis.  This is great news!

Joe is a gifted writer who has many, many brilliant TV and Comic projects.  He-Man, She-Ra, The Real Ghostbusters, The New Twilight Zone, Jake and the Fatman, Murder, She Wrote, Walker Texas Ranger, Babylon 5, and Jeremiah to just name a few of his TV projects.

Superman has now become interesting.  Batman is way better then Superman but with Straczynski behind him I suddenly find myself interested.

I’m hoping this change will be the gateway into getting a Wonder Woman movie.

Now if the studios will only hold off on the Superman rewrite project waiting for Straczynski to guide them.

Dean T. Fraser has drawn a brilliant set of Superheroes in the style of the Simpsons at his blog, Springfield Punx.  They are giggle inducing.

He has just started what might become a Thundercats series.  You should definitely check out the blog if for no other reason than to see what the world would be like if we lived in Springfield.

Dean’s art is interesting and humorous, check out his other work at DeanFraser.com

Jabba the Hutt didn't need kryptonite or a chain to make Superman submit to his authority.  I can see the dancing and the occasional Rancor threat.  They would laugh, and continue mocking the Gamoreans.
