This is a picture of Batman I did in the Powerpuff Girls style a long time ago that a buddy of mine at the time animated Flash style. His name is Stephen Bowcutt and he's an incredible artist, and though I have no idea where he is or what he's up to, I hope he's doing well.
So, in case you haven't heard, Michael Cera is in "final negotiations" to play SCOTT PILGRIM. I guess he’s popular at the moment after a string of two successful movies and one cancelled television show, but this is awful, awful casting. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy and I’ll be happy to be proven wrong, but I can’t imagine this guy fighting a girl scout, let alone Ramona’s 7 evil ex-boyfriends. Fuck, I can't even imagine this guy raising his voice! He's likeable, but not Scott Pilgrim likeable. He doesn't have the charisma to pull off a magical, video game style dance fight. I'm sorry, but he just doesn't. What's worse is if this does happen then he's going to be who everyone thinks of when they hear the name "Scott Pilgrim". Guh.
I don't know if the show's going to be any good, mostly because most of Marvel's cartoons since the 90s (some would argue it goes back further than that) have been awful, but for the moment, I will say this promotional art for the new Iron Man cartoon looks very slick.
Say what you will about Marvel's treatment of Spider-Man as of late (and I have), but those are some mighty fine looking covers courtesy of Mike McKone and Marcos Martin.
