After seeing their cross-town rival, Marvel, score two sizable hits this summer in The Incredible Hulk ($130 million dollars at the box office) and Iron Man ($313 million, good enough for 22nd on the all time list), DC Comics and its parent company Warner Brothers appear to be reconsidering their plans on movies featuring characters from the DC Universe.

This direction is “one that not only sees the DC characters emerge with a higher priority but also one that would see them developed with an overarching goal in mind.”

Famed comic book artist Michael Turner recently passed away after a struggle with cancer.

It’s a shame that three years later we get Sega’s follow-up The Incredible Hulk, which is basically the same game as before with a few minor improvements and a bunch of new problems.
