20160520 – Comics News :BATMAN Star Michael Keaton Now In Final Negotiations To Play The Villain In SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING
You can start making Birdman jokes again. After initially passing on the role, THRreports that Michael Keaton (Batman, Beetlejuice, The Other Guys) is back in final talks to play the villain in Marvel and Sony’s solo Spidey reboot, Spider-Man: Homecoming. Apparently the studios approached several other actors before ultimately returning to Keaton – presumably with a better offer.
There’s still no official word on the character he’d portray, but The Vulture is strongly rumored.
Spider-Man: Homecoming will star Tom Holland in the title role, along with Marisa Tomei as unt May, Zendaya as the still unnamed female lead, Tony Revolori, Laura Harrier (also unknown characters) and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man.

Avis Pimpf :
EN : Stan Lee is one of the major personality in the comics industry that is still alive, he ‘s the creator of most iconic Marvel Characters and At 93 he’s still around and we’re lucky to have him , I can imagine that from now on he will have to take things easily and that is normal. When he’ll disappear he will sure leave a big mark in the industry and among fans, even though there has been controversy about how much he was involved in developping all the characters he designed , those last years he always gave credit to the artists he worked with like Jack Kirby Steve Dikto, Gene Colan and so on that collaborated with him bringing us the classic Marvel universe as we know nowadays.
FR : C’est assez marrant car j’avais cette réfléxion avec mon épouse récemment, après avoir vu son caméo dans Captain America 3 : Civil War , Stan Lee est toujours la , il est une des grande figures du monde des comics et un des représentants , une icone du monde Marvel. A 93 ans il est toujours parmi nous et je lui souhaite de rester le plus longtemps possible, mais j’imagine très bien que le jour ou il nous quittera il aura droit à toute une série d’hommage de par l’empreinte qu’il va laisser dans l’industrie des comics et des super héros. Même s’il y a pu avoir à une époque des controverses sur son implication réel des héros de l’unviers marvel , je pense qu’il est à la base de leur créations et ces dernières années il a mis de lui même en avant l’ensemble des artistes/ dessinateurs avec qui il a pu collaborer pour créer cet univers classique de Marvel Comics que ce soit le grand Jack Kirby , Steve Dikto, Gene Colan, John Romita Sr, ou bien d’autres , il est à l’origine des idées des personnages qui aujourd’hui font remplir les salles de cinéma des héros Marvel. Il a donc tout à fait le droit de lever le pied et d’en profiter un peu !

20160519 – Comics News : Is This REBIRTH’s JOKER? BATMAN #1 Variant Revealed | Newsarama.com
RAFAEL ALBUQUERQUE’s BATMAN #1 variant cover may reveal REBIRTH’s JOKER.
Rafael Albuquerque has revealed his Fried Pie variant forBatman #1 via an Instagram post – but has he revealed more than that?
The cover features a Joker very reminiscient of Jared Leto’s take on the character in the upcoming Suicide Squad film, wearing a white suit seemingly homaging The Dark Knight Returns. Is this a simple homage, or a glimpse at Rebirth‘s version of the clown prince of crime?
Albuquerque is the regular artist on Rebirth‘s Batgirl. Batman #1 is on shelves June 15.

20160519 – Comics News : Geoff Johns Wants DC to Include More ‘Hope & Optimism’ | Comic Book Resources
Geoff Johns Wants DC to Include More ‘Hope & Optimism’ – Though he wouldn’t confirm reports that he is now in charge of DC Films, the DC Entertainment CCO was clear that the brand needs hope and optimism.
« There’s a lot of emotional underpinning of the characters and the stories, » he shared. « It’s not that people take it for granted. They’re just not as aware of it. But when it’s not there, you really feel that emptiness.”
« I think people make a mistake when they say, ‘Superman’s not relatable because he’s so powerful, » he added. « I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me? He’s a farmboy from Kansas who moves to the city and just wants to do the best he can with what he’s got.’ That’s the most relatable character in the world. »
The reported creative shuffle at DC Films comes after the lukewarm reception of « Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, » which may have resulted in the appointing of Ben Affleck as a producer on « Justice League » and the firing of director Seth Grahame-Smith from « The Flash » film. Additionally, some reshoots were done on « Suicide Squad » to, it’s said, « smooth out the third act. »
« Suicide Squad, » the next DC Films movie, hits theaters on August 5.
