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.
– Greg Berlanti’s Booster Gold movie will, apparently, not be set in the DC Extended Universe. This makes sense for a few reasons, even leaving aside the dumpster fire that is the DCEU. Because of Booster’s time travel/multiverse travel capacity, it makes sense to set his movie elsewhere in time and space, and allow him to cross over if/when the time feels right with whatever properties make sense at the moment.
– Berlanti also pitched Marvel an Iron Man movie back in 2005, but admits that it wasn’t as good as what they eventually got from Jon Favreau.
– It appears that Iron Fist will be bringing another Marvel character to the screen: Lei-Kung the Thunderer.
– Erik Larsen has been working on “Spawn” in conjunction with Todd McFarlane recently and, well, it seems that experiment is over. Both Larsen and McFarlane seem like strong personalities that might have a hard time working together, and that appears to be exactly what happened.
– It is nice to see the film version of the Justice League standing up for actual, important things in the real world. Good on you, folks.
– Reilly Brown is taking umbrage with Mark Millar’s description of DC/Marvel page rates for his talent search.
– The Supergirl producers have revealed how they got WB/DC to allow them to use Superman on their show: they asked.
– I’m sort of legitimately sad that I’m a worse dad than 50 Cent, who made a cool Cyborg costume for his son’s birthday. Damn you Curtis Jackson!
– And, finally…I agree with Mel Gibson about something?
