LAS VEGAS COMIC CONVENTION: DC COMICS PANEL

Writer Judd Winick and artist Dustin Nguyen are the next creative team for Batman, it was announced Saturday during the DC Comics panel at the Las Vegas Comics Convention.

The pair will follow the current run by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso beginning a six-issue run called "As The Crow Flies" with April's Batman #625. Richard Friend is inking.

"Dustin has worked on Wildcats for the past couple of years for WildStorm, and he's been waiting his entire life to do Batman," Winick said. "Frankly, I have, too. Everybody always has a Batman story to tell and this is the one that has been rolling around in my head for a while.

"We are going to touch upon stuff that happened in 'Hush' as well as stuff that's happened in Brian's run. We're touching upon continuity in the book as much as we can, but it is a story that will stand on its own."

Winick didn't reveal details about the arc, other than Scarecrow is the villain.

"It's a crime story," Winick said. "At the beginning, middle and end, Batman is about a crime story and you've also brought in this smattering of bizarre super villains. So you'll have that."

BLADE: TRINITY UPDATE

New Line Cinema has announced an Aug. 13 release date and a synopsis for Blade: Trinity, which is currently in production in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Here's how the studio describes the film:

"Wesley Snipes returns as the day-walking vampire hunter in the explosive third and final film in the Blade franchise, Blade: Trinity. When the Vampire Nation hatches a plan to frame Blade in a series of brutal killings, he must join forces with the Nightstalkers, a clan of human vampire hunters, in an extreme battle in which the trail of blood leads directly to the notorious vampire legend, Dracula. Written and directed by David S. Goyer, Blade: Trinity also stars Jessica Biel as Abigail, the daughter of Whistler (Kris Kristofferson), who inherits the vampire-slaying duties that once belonged to Blade (Wesley Snipes); and Ryan Reynolds (National Lampoon's Van Wilder) as Hannibal King, one of the Nightstalkers."

David Goyer, who has written all three Blade movies, is also directing Blade: Trinity.



BRIEFLY

  • The latest Dynamic Forces/Top Cow Exclusive comic is Tomb Raider: Sphere of Influence by Kevin McCarthy and Joyce Chin!

    "Kevin [McCarthy] sent me a great proposal featuring Lara Croft, and we were working with Top Cow and Harris on their crossovers with Joyce Chin around that same time," said Nick Barrucci, president of Dynamic Forces. "So we put Kevin, Joyce and Tomb Raider together, and the Sphere of Influence was born."

    McCarthy, writer of the upcoming Kavalier and Clay comics based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Michael Chabon, sends Lara Croft to the mean streets of New York City, where she rescues a precious object, returning the prize to its owner. But, at a Sotheby's auction later, Croft finds unusual symmetry with her earlier adventure, and a new challenge waiting for her.

  • Upper Deck will be producing trading cards based on the Spider-Man 2 movie.
