In the Marvel Universe, the supervillain Electro’s real name is Maxwell Dillon. Dillon was an electrical engineer who acquired super powers after a freak accident while repairing a power line. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, the character has been menacing Spider-Man since his debut in 1964. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 marks his first appearance in a feature film.

This week, several news outlets reported that Disney and Lucasfilm revealed at CinemaCon in Las Vegas that beginning in 2015, a new Star Wars film will be released every year.

This announcement more or less confirms the previous speculation about standalone Star Wars films being in the works. Reportedly, films based around Yoda, Boba Fett, and a young Han Solo are all being developed.

Regardless, Star Wars: Episode VII will be the first in line, as it is scheduled for a 2015 release.

Two names from the cast of Grey’s Anatomy will be visiting the DC Universe this year, in DC Entertainment’s next animated movie, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox.

Justin Chambers, who plays Dr. Alex Karev on Grey’s, will play the Flash/Barry Allen. Kevin McKidd, who plays Owen Hunt, will voice Batman/Thomas Wayne.

Nathan Fillion will reprise his role as Green Lantern/Hal Jordan, having previously played the role in Green Lantern: Emerald Knights and Justice League: Doom.

Ron Perlman joins the cast as Deathstroke/Slade Wilson. Kevin Conroy and Dana Delany will also reprise their roles as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Lois Lane, whom they voiced on “DC animated universe” shows like Justice League: Unlimited.

Also in the cast are Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman, Michael B. Jordan as Cyborg, Cary Elwes as Aquaman, C. Thomas Howell as Reverse Flash, and Danny Huston as General Sam Lane.

The movies is based on the Flashpoint event comic by Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert, in which the Flash finds himself in an alternate reality.

This week, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Game Informer broke the news about not one, but two new installments in the Arkham game franchise. Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate are on their way to game consoles.

Arkham Origins, set for release on the Playstation 3, XBox 360, Nintendo Wii U and PC (and presumably corresponding next-gen systems) will star a younger Batman as he faces off with various enemies for the first time, including a new addition to the franchise, Deathstroke. The Deathstroke character has recently appeared on the CW’s Arrow TV show, and has been a mainstay of the Teen Titans and Green Arrow comic books over the years. The character will reportedly lead “eight of the best assassins in the world” in an attack on Batman.

Arkham Origins Blackgate, set for release on the Nintendo 3DS and Playstation Vita consoles, will take place after the events of Origins, and reportedly be a ”2.5-D Metroid-style exploration action” game. In the DC Comics universe, Blackgate is the Gotham City prison for inmates who aren’t considered insane.

Conspicuous by their absence is Rocksteady Studios, the company that developed Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City. Warner Bros. Games Montreal will take the reigns for the Origin games, using the modified Unreal engine developed for the first two games.

The first look at the Origins video games can be seen below.

The Chicago Sun-Times announced this week that iconic film critic Roger Ebert passed away April 4 at the age of 70.

Ebert, who wrote for the Sun-Times for many years, was perhaps best known for his work with fellow critic Gene Siskel on Siskel & Ebert, a TV show famous for its thumbs up/thumbs down reviews.

In 2002 Ebert began his battle with cancer, as he was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. Further complications would later lead to Ebert having surgeries which altered his appearance. Nevertheless, he eventually resumed reviewing for the Sun-Times and on his web site.

Ebert’s last words to the public on his final blog read: ”So on this day of reflection I say again, thank you for going on this journey with me. I’ll see you at the movies.”

Dark Horse Comics will release a comic book adaptation of The Star Wars, George Lucas’ unproduced screenplay, which later became Star Wars.

Via press release, Dark Horse calls the story “a tale of fantastic adventures, daring escapes, “lazer swords,” romance, and monsters. A story of Jedi Annikin Starkiller and General Luke Skywalker, an alien named Han Solo, and evil Sith Knights. The screenplay was titled The Star Wars!”

Lucas Books executive editor J.W. Rinzler will write the eight-issue miniseries, and Mike Mayhew will pencil. The first issue comes out this September

“While researching in the Lucasfilm Archives I’ve found many treasures—but one which truly astounded me was George’s rough draft for The Star Wars. His first complete imaginings were hallucinating to read—mind blowing,” Rinzler said. “While working with George on another book project, I once asked if we could adapt his rough draft. He was hesitant. Years later, with Dark Horse’s invaluable help, we showed him a few drawn and colored pages of what it might look like. He gave us the okay.”

As Logan continues to agonize over the death of Jean Grey, a figure from his past re-emerges and offers to make him mortal again. But making Logan mortal again doesn’t mean he’ll be shying away from the action! And indeed, an animal is sometimes the most dangerous when its at its most vulnerable…

The Wolverine comes out in North America on July 26, 2013.
