Pop Culture Roundup May 31, 2007
Rock'n'roll pioneer Bo Diddley is showing signs of improvement following his recent stroke.
...the 78-year-old singer, songwriter and guitarist was transferred on Thursday from a hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, to a facility near his home in Gainesville, Florida, and had been receiving speech and occupational therapy since Friday.
-------------------
Dial B for Burbank presents the secret origins of pulp heroes. First up: The Hooded Shadow.
--------------------
A live-action Teen Titans film is in the works.
It is not known which heroes will be used, but Nightwing is said to be in the mix.
The film's producer, Akiva Goldsman, said the tone will be consistent with such recent Warners' comic book fare as "Batman Begins," "Superman Returns" and the upcoming "Watchmen."
----------------------
Will the current "Doctor Who" series end after its fourth season?
Boss Russell T. Davies has decided to axe the BBC1 sci-fi drama and concentrate on other projects.
He and senior staff have hatched a plot to hand in a group resignation in summer 2008.
A source said: “The heavy workload — nine months of 16-hour days every year — has started to take its toll.
“It was decided the best thing for the show was go out at the top next year.”

In "Partners of Peril," by Theodore Tinsley, Lamont Cranston investigates chemical syndicate murders in the crime thriller that serves as the model for Batman's debut adventure in Detective Comics #27. This extra-long volume also reprints Tinsley's "The Grim Joker," a 1936 tale featuring a clown-faced crime boss called 'The Joker'! PLUS: Will Murray documents the "Shadowy" origins of The Batman, and Anthony Tollin chonicles how "Partners in Peril" was adapted as the first Batman story.

Will "The Fifth Face" be the face of death? In a special bonus feature, The Shadow battles an million-year-old Neanderthal in a "lost" radio script by Hugo Award-winning science fiction author Alfred Bester. This instant collector's item leads off with a classic cover by George Rozen, and also includes all the original interior art by acclaimed illustrator Tom Lovell and Earl Mayan plus historical commentary on the origins of super-villains and DC's Vandal Savage by popular culture historians Will Murray and Anthony Tollin.

Then, a series of robberies and murders casts suspicion on two supposedly-reformed criminals. Did the Crooks Go Straight, or has one of them returned to crime? This classic pulp collection also features George Rozen's spectacular pulp covers, all the original interior art by acclaimed illustrator Tom Lovell and historical commentary by popular culture historian Will Murray.

Don't go spendin' those Silver Surfer quarters.
To promote the upcoming film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, 20th Century Fox and The Franklin Mint altered 40,000 U.S. quarters to feature the character.
The U.S. Mint said in a news release Friday that it learned of the promotional quarter this week and advised the studio and the Franklin Mint they were breaking the law. It is illegal to turn a coin into an advertising vehicle, and violators can face a fine.

DVD: Legion of Superheroes Vol. 1
Not a full season set, but a collection of four eps from the animated series. You can pre-order it now from Amazon.
From the press release:
Warner Home Video and Kids' WB! are set to release four episodes from the hot new series Legion of Super Heroes: Volume 1, inspired by the legend of DC Comics' Superman on August 28, 2007. This new brew of DC Super Heroes is young, bright and unpredictable. The futuristic team that is the Legion of Super Heroes: Volume 1 features Superman, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Timber Wolf, Brainiac 5, Bouncing Boy and Phantom Girl.
Recently named Wizard Magazine's "Best Animated Series" of 2006, Legion of Super Heroes: Volume 1 currently airs on the Kids' WB! on The CW, the No.1 rated Saturday morning kids broadcast lineup. The new series features the most renowned super powered teenagers in the 31st
century, but the crew is faced with more than they can handle in the battle against their evil nemeses, the Fatal Five. Their only resolution is to unite forces with the legendary Superman. Unfortunately, the team miscalculates their journey back in time and finds Superman as the young and insecure Clark Kent, unaware of his superhuman capabilities. Over time, Superman discovers his powers and returns with the Legion to embark on a series of battles and challenges with the rest of the Legionnaires. Produced by James Tucker (Co-Producer of Justice League Unlimited), Linda Steiner (Producer of Teen Titans Trouble in Tokyo) and Sander Schwartz (Executive Producer of Teen Titans), Legion of Super Heroes: Volume 1 is inspired by DC Comics' history.
"We are pleased to release the first four episodes of the highly successful Kids WB! new series for the first time ever on DVD," said Dorinda Marticorena, WHV Vice President of Family, Animation & Sports Marketing. "These teenage characters provide an entertaining and original aspect to the series as kids get to see what it's like to be a young Super Hero."
Legion of Super Heroes: Volume 1 will be available on DVD with approx. 88 minutes of four 22-minute episodes:
* "Man of Tomorrow" - In their mission to travel back in time to retrieve Superman, the legion goes a little too far and discover a young Clark Kent before his super powers are realized.
* "Timber Wolf"- Dark secrets are discovered when a scientist calls on the legion for their help in capturing a dangerous creature.
* "Legacy"- Superman's new friend, Alexis, wants to be Superman's only friend.
* "Phantoms" - A teenager with the same powers as Superman is unleashed from a portal to a phantom dimension, where the Legionnaires become trapped.
Also includes the following special features:
We Are Legion -- The Legionnaires from the pages of DC Comics are back, this time in animated form. Looking at the rich history of storylines, characters, and classic team driven tales of action and adventure, the Legion of Super Heroes: Volume 1 is updated for today's audience. Featuring an interview with Paul Levitz, President & Publisher of DC Comics, and former writer on the Legion of Super Heroes comic book. {Estimated runtime 8-10 minutes}.
