A while back DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns teased onTwitter that a test reel of a proposed live action Blue Beetle series existed and that he might show it at San Diego ComiCon. Here a few days after the con, the footage is online. What do you think?

Johns did promise we’ll see Blue Beetle on TV soon. He’s writing another episode of Smallville, now in its final season, that will feature the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle. The same episode will feature long time BB cohort Booster Gold. It is certainly possible with Smallville finally ending that CW may try to spin some of the great DC characters they’ve had on the series into their own shows.

As for what a Ted Kord Blue Beetle and Booster Gold show would be like, might I suggest…

Zack Snyder is making a new movie. He directed that Dawn of The Dead remake, 300, and Watchmen. It looks like after tricking his geek audience into watching well oiled Spartans flex and fight for 2 hours, he’s going to deliver a movie full of fan service in the opposite direction.

Check out the trailer and these sexy posters. You’re a man right?

AMC Showed several minutes of the The Walking Dead, and even though this is shaky-cam footage, it looks extremely faithful to the comic series.
We may be looking at the best new show of the next year, geeks. A weekly zombie series!

There were lots of announcements on the DC front from Mattel. To see the full Mattypalooza panel that mostly focused on Ghostbusters, MOTU, and DC Universe, you can go here.

What was revealed at the panel for DC product in the Mattypalooza panel was almost entirely exclusive to MattyCollector.com.

Mattel held a separate panel just for DC Universe Classics and Green Lantern classics. You can watch the actual panel here and look below for highlights. I found it amusing that the first thing said in the DC Universe panel was that there would be more reveals in five minutes of this panel than there were in all the Hasbro panels. It makes me sad that he’s not far off the mark.

Continue on after the jump for more details.

Hasbro and Marvel held their panel for their various action figure lines and there were some surprises including a promise to return to Marvel Legends in a big way in 2012. I take back what I said in this post, but I hope we are back to full waves of single figures and not these 2-packs. Its certainly a way off, but any news is good news at this point.

In the meantime, lets look at some of the big reveals for everything else they had to talk about after the jump!

During a live stream of Marvel VS Capcom 3 with play-by-play annoucements, Capcom-Unity‘s Seth Killian let slip that veteran voice actor Nolan North performs the role of Deadpool. This is actually the first confirmation of any of the voice talent in the game.

North is one of the best known voice actors in games today, with notable roles as Uncharted’s Nathan Drake, Halo 3 ODST’s Romeo and The Prince of Persia himself. He was also Raphael in the acclaimed movie TMNT as well as literally dozens of other voice roles.

North actually played Deadpool once before in the Marvel Animated DVD “Hulk VS”

Of course they didn’t just set up the Throne of Asgard just for Stan Lee.

Marvel studios rolled out The Destroyer, the enchanted armor that will be worn by the big bad of next summer’s “Thor: Mighty Avenger”

The SDCC Marvel Studios panel is beginning as this post is going up, we expect to bring more news on Thor, Captain America, and The Avengers soon.

Capcom takes on all comers. First they pitted their Street Fighters against X-Men, then the entire Marvel Universe, rival developer SNK, and finally Tatsunoko anime stars. Who’s next?

Never stepping away from a challenge, Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono was approached by Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada live at ComiCon, and sure enough they had a new tag team game ready to demo. Ryu and Chun Li from Street Fighter against Kazuya Mishima and Nina Williams of Tekken! The game will be in 2D, similar to the Street Fighter IV and developed by Capcom. Ono-san says its early in development, so we’ll have to keep playing SFIV and then Marvel VS Capcom 3 before we’ll get our hands on the new game, titled “Street Fighter x Tekken.”

Tekken Die-hards will be pleased to know a 3D game similar to Tekken 6 is also in production called Tekken x Street Fighter at Namco.

Capcom Unity has more screen shots!
