“When crime haunts the night, a silent crusader carries the torch of justice.

Those with evil hearts beware for out of the darkness comes the Gray Ghost!”

“The Gray Ghost” is fake TV show which exists in the world of “Batman: The Animated Series”. It’s hard to talk about him without getting into levels of fiction going deeper than the average scene in Inception!

The Gray Ghost character on the TV show is played by Simon Trent who is a character played by Adam West. In this way, the Gray Ghost is comparable to the old live action “Batman” TV series which Adam West starred in as well. Physically the Gray Ghost doesn’t look that much like Batman. He is more similar looking to The Shadow. In this universe you can’t exactly have Batman watching and old show called Batman. Similarities here exist, such as the Batcave being modeled after the Gray Ghost’s lair.

The Gray Ghost’s main and original appearance was in an episode of “Batman: The Animated Series” titled “Beware of the Gray Ghost”. The basic plot of this episode centers around a character who is doing copycat crimes based off of an old episode of the Gray Ghost show named “The Mad Bomber”.

Filming has just wrapped up for the Green Lantern movie and the long process of post-production is about to begin. To tease us all, the first image of the Green Lantern Corps. drill instructor, Kilowog, has been revealed. Click the image above to enlarge. This is a bit different than those original concept pictures we saw a while back. Looks like they softened his features more.

Its been almost 8 months since we first found out it was coming, but the sequel to the amazing hit game Batman: Arkham Asylum finally has a title.

The official site ArkhamHasMoved.com was updated today with the new logo and the official title Arkham City.

The teaser trailer on the site has been updated to reflect the addition of the title, but its the same footage we saw last year.

The Joker is sure to continue to play a large role in this game, which is welcome since actor Mark Hamill says this will be his last time in the role.

Batman: Arkham City will release fall 2011.

Not an inch of footage has been shot yet, so this is a teaser in the strictest sense of the word. You will however get an ominous voice-over!

Update: Unfortunatly, the video is being removed at the request of Marvel/Paramount from various sources. Please refer to our Thor discussion thread at our forums to see if a fellow Powet member has a link if the above video goes dead.

This trailer was apparently played in the SDCC 2010 panel for the Thor movie. We’ve updated with a better source.

This is a very long trailer. Titanic long. Enjoy! Thor release May 2011 with Chris Hemsworth in the lead role. Also prominently featured in this trailer is Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson of SHIELD.

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…

I was told this clip has Ryan Reynold reciting the Green Lantern oath to a young fan. Reynold has of course been cast as Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern movie and this oath is very important to the mythos.

As far as I know its in there somewhere, but all I see is sideboob.
