DC COMICS FOR SEPTEMBER
For a complete rundown of DC Comics' solicitations for September, check here after midnight.
HULK MOVIE UPDATE
Today The Continuum begins its series of roundtable interviews from The Hulk press junket with Eric Bana, who stars as Bruce Banner.
For the interview, in which Bana talks about the role, his familiarity with the character and meeting Lou Ferrigno, CLICK HERE.
In other Hulk news:
* "Set Me Free," the music single from The Hulk by the band made up of Scott Weiland, Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Dave Kushner, was featured on ABC's telecast of Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night.
A behind-the-scenes video was shown, along with clips from the movie.
* Sam Elliott appeared on NBC's The Today Show on Monday, promoting the film.
"Normally I make a deal based on material, or that's what initially gets me involved in a project," Elliott said. "But when you've got Ang Lee sitting across the table saying that he'd like you to be in his movie, the consideration of the material goes out the window. At least it did for me."

"The conclusion of the story that finds Lex Luthor accused in the murder of an old friend. How will he clear his name and find out who set him up? And in a special back-up story from 'between the scenes' of the Season One episode 'Rogue,' Clark shares a car ride to Metropolis with a crooked cop who knows his secret. Plus, interviews with series creators Al Gough and Miles Millar detailing what's in store for Season Three, and the next installment of the Season One episode guide."
