The smash hit animated series The Legend of Korra is receiving a video game treatment from the studio behind such hits as Bayonetta and Vanquish.

And now here’s some rather superb casting news for you to… chew (oof!) on! Way back when, I remarked that Chew, writer John Layman and artist Rob Gullory’s hilariously kooky, Eisner Award winning Image Comics series would be perfect for a feature film adaptation, and it appears that somebody was listening. Maybe not to me specifically, but to somebody, as …

I read a lot of comics. A lot. And unfortunately, due to my stupid fanboy tendencies, I often read comics even when they’ve become bad in the hopes that they get good again.

The cult classic comic and Anime film set a new benchmark in quality and storytelling when it was released way back in 1988.

Kevin Spacey, Sally Fields, Kevin Costner and Jack Nicholson are just some of the actors who have had a turn either wearing or battling a cape.
