Since fans have given up on Mattel bring a Marvel Legend’s style line to mass market based on DC heroes, at least DC Direct is trying.

TNI has a picture of a set of prototypes celebrating the newest incarnation of the Justice League of America, as they appear in the monthly from writer Brad Meltzer and artist Ed Benes.

This first series has Black Lightning, Vixen, Red Arrow (Arsenal), Black Canary, and another damned Superman figure. At least 3 of the 5 are characters who probably wouldn’t have warranted a toy a year ago, so I guess I can’t complain too much. The rest of the lineup with Red Tornado, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Hawk Girl, and Batman will probably be coming soon.

Hopefully really soon, because a revamped JSA just hit stands, and I’d love to have a shelf with both teams.

Back up in your ass with the Dark Ressurection!

Game Watch has a couple dozen stills of the Namco fighter thats already landed on PS2 and PSP. This latest installment will allow you to play as final boss Jinpachi Mishima, who will be fun to use for all of 5 minutes until you remember he’s comically overpowered and not suitable for versus play.

The high resolution screen shots reveal little as the game is still more or less the same Tekken 5 that came out 2 years ago. Character models do not look improved. This will matter little to the player, as a new platform with the promise of a high response time and no onscreen lag is all any serious fan would ask for before moving on to Tekken 6.

Wired reports: Firefly Reborn as Online Universe.

I know fans are itching for more of this quickly cancelled TV cult fave. So I’ll put it up to you: is this a bad idea or a terrible idea?

Scott Kurtz is taking a huge risk by turning PvP into an animated series with subscription based revenue model. And although I’m not 100% sold by this preview, I am however sold on the idea and will hand him my $20.

Kurtz spoke to Comic Book Resources recently and I’m totally with him wanting to do this on his own rather than letting someone Hollywood buy it and he loses control. Who knows, if it gets popular enough, he may be able to write his own distribution deal for TV and DVDs…

In the last few days we’ve unveiled the first look at Scorponok in the movie and Barricade as a toy. I’m happy to report we have the reverse now.

Harbx has posted a wallpaper of Barricade. Its very nicely done, but I can’t help being bothered that maybe they cut some of the model off to make it look nice as a desktop image for a computer.

Infamous Hong Kong ebay seller SPX Toys has an auction for Scorponok. He’s not as monochrome as we thought, but may win the battle for ugliest face.

View both after the jump.

The car bloggers at Jalopnik have come through again with some CG partial stills of Megatron and Bumblebee, as well as a full body shot of Optimus Prime. Since these images are potential spoilers, we’ll save those for after the jump.

ShootForTheEdit.com, Michael Bay’s site, has an update on the next trailer:

I spoke to Mike about a week ago, and as you can imagine he’s busy editing the movie.

He indicated that the trailer was basically done (minus a little CGI work) and that if all goes according to plan, the trailer should be out by the weekend of the 22nd of December.

Ok, now how about those CG renders….
