UGO.com spent a little time with Avatar: The Last Airbender creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. They grilled them on some details about the upcoming Nickelodeon series. Here are some highlights from the article:

The show will be a mini-series with little to no filler episodes with the two creators writing each episode.
We will see Aang in the show, but it sounds like he won’t be alive, which shouldn’t be a surprise.
They are sticking to having only one avatar alive at a time (which is good because thats central to the mythos)
Aang’s son, Tenzin, will be in the show (We know this from the release, he’ll be the airbending teacher for Korra)
Katara is, indeed, the mother of Aang’s son.
Airbenders will be under persecution in a way.
The story will not center around a war, but a different type of conflict.
Cheesy teen romance? Check.

Thats about it. For the full article, you can go here.

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?

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.

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!

UGO.com posted 4 new character one-sheets that sufficiently tease up for the upcoming Green Lantern movie.
Ryan Reynolds is Hal Jordan.
Blake Lively is Carol Farris.
Mark Strong is Sinestro.
Peter Saarsgaard is Hector Hammond.

   

Square’s Secret of Mana (or Seiken Densetsu 2 as it’s called in Japan) is an action RPG similar to Gauntlet. In fact, it could have almost been considered an early dungeon crawler even before Diablo (of course while Diablo focused on level grinding, SOM focused on story and exploration). Despite its simplicity, SOM managed to be every bit as engaging as a Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger, and it became every bit as memorable as other games from the 16-bit era.

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.
