Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email our team at rundown@multiversitycomics.com.
– The official Justice League twitter feed spent Thursday teasing snippets of the first trailer and character posters. They even convinced Ben Affleck to join in on the in-no-way-contractually-obligated fun. The teases featured Aquaman, Batman, and The Flash in all their dark and gritty glory. The full trailer drops tomorrow and the film will be released on November 17th. Check back here for more coverage as soon as it’s up.
– Continuing the trend of announcing an announcement, DC announced that they will announce the details of their big summer event at next week’s Fan Expo Dallas. The event features the much anticipated re-team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, who will participate in the panel. Jim Lee and Dan DiDio will also be in attendance.
– In addition to Mark Russell’s “Snagglepuss,” DC Comics is continuing their Hanna Barbara reimagining with “The Jetsons,” written by Amanda Conner & Jimmy Palmiotti, with art by Pier Brito. Just like other titles in the line, “The Jetsons” updates the social commentary of the original cartoon for a new generation. A preview will be in next week’s “Booster Gold/The Flintstones Annual” #1.
– The first five minutes of Ghost in the Shell have been released online. I can’t speak to how well it measures up to the original but I think I’d still rather see Scarlett Johanson kicking and punching things in a Black Widow solo movie.
– The cast and crew of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 teamed up to release a bunch of character posters for the film on twitter yesterday. Bleeding Cool has conveniently combined them all in one place.
– Daniel Sharman is set to join the cast of Fear the Walking Dead. He was previously featured in Teen Wolf and The Originals.
– A new Injustice 2 trailer sees Supergirl going up against Black Adam. The trailer also touches on Kara’s origins in the Injustice universe.
– IDW announced on twitter that Syfy’s adaptation of “Wynona Earp” is coming to Netflix on April 1st.
