Over in our DC Universe PVC Dolls and Statues category, you can find the above item from the new line of DC Direct figures based on the upcoming MMORPG, DC Universe Online. Bringing together heroes and villains of the DCU while doing the same with players around the world, the game is sure to be a hit and it’s no surprise that they’re already sending the figures out into the world, ready to be pre-ordered.
Black Canary can be ordered now and will begin shipping in June 2011. She will be joining the December and January arrivals (Batman, Catwoman, Superman and Green Lantern) along with another familiar face, The Flash.
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Superman Red, Zoom and The Atom make up the third series of the Justice League of America: CLASSIFIED collection. They join the likes of Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman and Martian Manhunter. It’s a great 6-inch collection that brings together some truly classic characters and, beyond that, features the smooth sculpting and comic-styled design that have been the hallmarks of DC’s figures in the last couple of years.
Also from DC, you can now pre-order December’s 10-figure Kubrick collection! Celebrating the last month of DC’s 75th Anniversary Year, it brings together a bunch of Batmen and a few of his allies and enemies in one awesome set.

Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman and Green Lantern make up this new series of JUSTICE LEAGUE figures entitled the JUSTICE LEAGE CLASSIC ICONS. Taking the best and brightest from the Justice League, DC Direct has rendered them here as brilliant 7-inch figures with elegant display bases that make them an excellent addition to any collector’s toyshelf! They’ll be out in May 2011, just in time for FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! But you can pre-order right now!
There are some new JLA Classified figures headed our way and available for pre-order now. Check out the 6-inch renderings of Green Lantern, Superman Red, The Atom and Zoom over at Cmdstore.com. It’s worth checking out for any DC Fans seeking the perfect figure to complete their character collection.
And in another stroke of good luck for fans, I was checking out Kotaku (again) when I caught sight of a headline boasting SCREENS FROM AN UNRELEASED JUSTICE LEAGE VIDEO GAME! Check this out:
Is DC Comics’ Justice League getting a video game adaptation to go along with the George Miller directed, big budget feature film?
While the big screen version of Justice League may be experiencing a bumpy ride in its trip to theatres, it appears, based on a batch of screen shots sent our way by an anonymous tipster, that the video game is already in production. While the majority of the shots feature game environments, logos for characters like Batman and Wonder Woman can be seen in some. The Flash and what appears to be Wonder Woman appear in others.
New arrival over in our DC Comics section: Series 2 of the 6-inch figures from DC Direct’s Justice League of America line. Batgirl, Blue Superman, Green Lantern and the bearded Aquaman (of the future!) make up this new foursome, available as a set or individually. They join the likes of the Flash, Wonder Woman, Batman and Martian Manhunter in this collection, which is made up of reissues and repaints of the most successful Justice League figures ever made.
The second series of Justice League International figures has now arrived! The first series consisted of Ice, Black Canary, G’Nort and, my personal favourite, Batman, and the second series brings us Fire, Martian Manhunter, Blue Beetle and the ever-popular Booster Gold. This year’s Comic Cons have been awash in Booster Gold Fan Club t-shirts, which were also seen on the cover of Booster Gold #23, modeled by Blair Butler of G4TV fame.
I can’t say I’m entirely certain why Booster’s caught on this way, but as he still holds the title of “The Greatest Superhero You’ve Never Heard Of”, there are going to have to be a lot more shirts to get this guy out there.
Ever since her breakout role in “Transformers,” 22-year-old brunette beauty Megan Fox has gained an enormous fanbase online. So it was big news this week when Wonder-Who.com revealed that she would be portraying DC Comics superhero Wonder Woman in an upcoming big screen adaptation. There’s only one problem: it’s a hoax.
In the “Holy Trinity” of DC Comics superheroes, one iconic character has been conspicuously missing from movie screens. Superman had his heyday in the 70s, Batman in the 90s, and both have been revived in the past three years. But Wonder Woman, the Amazonian princess with the magic lasso and invisible plane, has not had a live-action portrayal since the last episode of the TV series aired in 1979. There have been attempts in recent years to put together a film version at Warner Bros. Pictures shepherded by Joel Silver, veteran producer of the “Lethal Weapon” and “Matrix” franchises. “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” creator Joss Whedon was attached to write and direct, but he left the project for “creative differences” last year.
Then out of nowhere the Wonder-Who.com site appeared with an image of the Wonder Woman logo over an American flag with the words “The Truth Will Be Revealed!” below. As the days progressed, bits of the background were torn away to reveal the figure underneath. Finally, the image of Fox in full costume was unveiled, with DC Comics, Silver Pictures, and Warner Bros. logos in the lower right-hand corner.
Many movie websites ran with the news that Fox had indeed been cast in the role. It was believed that Warner Bros. was attempting to leak the information virally like they did for the first photo of the Joker last year for “The Dark Knight.”
The site is very well done, with obvious but accomplished Photoshop work on the Fox photo. It’s also up in the air as to when the “Wonder Woman” film will happen. The studio had indicated that the character would be a part of the “Justice League” movie that was in development earlier this year, but that film has been put on hold as well. However, Wonder Woman is getting a direct-to-DVD animated movie (see below) from the same producers as the successful “Justice League: The New Frontier” and “Batman – Gotham Knight.” Featuring the voice of Keri Russell (“Mission: Impossible III”), “Wonder Woman” hits shelves in February 2009. Megan Fox will actually be seen next in “Jennifer’s Body,” a horror movie written by Oscar-winner Diablo Cody.
Wonder Woman and the JLA Boys: Superman just returned from Celebrity Biggest Losers and Flash looks a little frisking if you ask me.
Here is that Wonder Woman animated direct to DVD movie trailer:
