If the fourth live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie -- which would have potentially been subtitled either "The Next Mutation" or, apparently, "The Foot Walks Again" -- had gone ahead, the world could have met Evil April, Super Shredder and a fifth Turtle named after Jack Kirby...

If the costumes worn by the merry mutants of X-Men: First Class weren't appropriately Jack Kirby X-Men-esque for you, then perhaps this look at concept art for the movie by Matthew Savage might make you feel even more wistful for what could have been, offering alternate looks for Beast, Havok and Mystique in addition to some interior designs from throughout the movie...

Even more concept art for the seemingly-dead live-action remake of Tatsuhiro Otomo's Akira has emerged online, with artist Rodolfo Dimaggio and Sylvain Despretz doing their best on an impossible gig. The new art follows two previous reveals of storyboard art from the project with three CGI cityscapes that give a sneak peak at what Neo Tokyo could have looked like had director Albert Hughes stayed

The movie is principally panned for its plot and tone, with Dredd's uniform among its more -- I guess, tolerated...

Batman has been a pretty constant presence in the world of cartoons since 1992 -- even longer if you count re-runs of Super Friends -- but his extended family of sidekicks and assorted hangers-on have never really been able to grab the spotlight for their own adventures...

If you've enjoyed seeing the The Amazing Spider-Man movie over the past few days, chances are George Hull had a lot to do with it. A prominent film designer who has worked on everything from Transformers to The Tree of Life to Iron Man 2, Hull works in a range of scales and creates everything from lush cityscapes to the more minute components of portable electronic devices...

An intriguing new piece of Iron Man 3 concept art cropped up on The Avengers movie Facebook page earlier today, depicting a semi-armored Tony Stark seemingly activating a silverish/goldish/reddish colored suit at the onset of an attack by heavily armed thugs...
