Daily Monster, The Dark Knight, TV DVD News, Super Paris Hilton, X-Men Origins: Magneto, Comic Previews


Daily Monster

L.A. Weekly ponders here about Stefan Butcher's "Daily Monster," originally a video podcast about Butcher drawing a new monster each day, and which is becoming an animated segment on the new Electric Company which debuts on PBS in 2009. The article says how the site got started, how Butcher managed to create a monster a day, and the steps that have turned the site into a book.



The Dark Knight

You many not know it but Joss Whedon, after losing the "Wonder Woman" movie, did a pitch for "The Dark Knight." ComicBookMovie.com has the story here.



TV DVD News

TVShowsOnDVD.com has posted info about "Grace Under Fire" (Season 1) here, "Happy Days" (Season 4) here, "The Cosby Show" (Complete Series) here, "Metalocalypse" (Season 2) here, "Ark II" (Complete Series) here, "The Munsters" (Complete Series) here and "Night Gallery" (Season 2) here.



Super Paris Hilton

Perez Hilton reports here that Paris Hilton and Stan Lee are developing a comic book version of the celebrity to be adapted to a cartoon. Didn't Nostrodous list this as one of the final signs of the Apocolypse?



X-Men Origins: Magneto

David Goyer has this to say about the tentatively scehduled for 2009 movie about master of magnetism: "I'm writing a new version of 'The Invisible Man' for Universal. I'm in the process of doing ['Invisible Man'] right now, and I'm working with some conceptual artists in tandem with writing the script. I'm actually working with one of the artists from 'Batman Begins' and 'The Dark Knight.' So it could be 'Magneto,' or it could be 'The Invisible Man' next."
