Superman and Batman Vs. Aliens and Predators #1
You need a deep breath just to even say the title of this book, imagine what it must be like to read it!
Seriously though with a creative team like Shultz and Olivetti working on this book you know it will be good.
It’s the battle you’ve been waiting for in a thrilling 2-issue miniseries by Mark Schultz (Cadillacs and Dinosaurs) with computer-generated painted art by Ariel Olivetti (SPACE GHOST)!
They’re back! The relentless killing machines known as Aliens and the unstoppable race of hunters called Predators have returned to Earth. But saying “they’re back” isn’t quite accurate — Batman discovers that the two races, sealed away from the human population, have been here all along! Can he and Superman get them off our world before they threaten the planet’s existence? www.dccomics.com
Available Wednesday the 10th.
DVD
The Illusionist
Doctor Strange looks pretty cool here… wait a sec.
Actually there is a reason why Norton looks like Strange, he asked the make up artist to make him that way. No kidding

Eisenheim (Edward Norton) is a magician in early 1900’s Vienna, who falls in love with a woman well above his social standing. When she becomes engaged to a Crown Prince, Eisenheim uses his powers to free her and undermine the stability of the royal house of Vienna. www.imdb.com
