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 either david@multiversitycomics.com or brian@multiversitycomics.com.

– In really, really surprising news, Warner Bros. announced that the Batman vs. Superman film (or whatever it’s going to be called) is being pushed back 9 months, from July of 2015 to May 6, 2016. There are any number of reasons why this might be – they truly think it’s in a stronger spot getting released in the typical Marvel slot of May, they realized with such a huge cast and so much more to go they can’t get it done in time, or even the rumors of B vs. S filming back-to-back with Justice League pushing it back – but whatever they are it’s…a little weird. DC’s film adventures continue to be just that, adventures, and this strangely fits. Hopefully it isn’t ill tidings from the start.

– Yeahhh!!!! After Wally West’s announced arrival, now it was revealed that Ted Kord was going to return in “Forever Evil” #7. Huzzah!

– Matt Fraction talks Satellite Sam on Tumblr, and reveals his Image Comics collabo with Howard Chaykin is set to run – ideally – about 50 issues.

– Stan Lee makes it onto Forbes’ top 10 most influential celebrities list, which given the adventure of Marvel Films makes a whole lot of sense.

– In CBR’s Sunday Conversation, Paul Montgomery talks with Declan Shalvey about a whole lot, from “Her” and “Star Trek” to meeting people through Twitter and presumed dirtiness.

– Caleb Goellner and Buster Moody created a TMNT fan comic, and it’s pretty damn awesome.
