SMALLVILLE: ABSOLUTE JUSTICE
The Geoff Johns’ penned “Smallville” event “Absolute Justice” has a new trailer and it looks good. Surprisingly good—you get Golden Age Green Lantern and Flash props with some nods. I will return to watching “Smallville” Friday, February 5. Check it out over the DC’s The Source Blog.

WHEDON TO FX?
Reports are floating around that Joss Whedon might be planning his next series at FX. (Whedon’a current Fox show, Dollhouse airs its final episode next Friday.) If Whedon and the network that brought us “Always Sunny in Philidelphia,” “Sons of Anarchy” and “The Shield” can come together we’re all for it.
Read about it here.

PUSH GETS A TV SHOW
Nikkie Finke asks why the Summit feature, which only made $50 million, is getting a TV show and we agree. Read Finke over at Deadline Hollywood Daily.

SCOTT PILGRIM
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World reviews are starting to come in from early screenings and AintItCoolNews.com has them here.

FINAL KICK-ASS POSTER

ATLANTA COMIC CON
Andy, Casey and I come back to the ATL for the first time since our road trip a decade ago. Who will eat a bug this year? Dates and venue TBD. Read the press release here.

POWERS STILL MOVING AT FX
Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming’s “Powers” series—currently published through Marvel’s Icon line—is still inactive development at FX according to the network prez. Read it over here at Premium Hollywood.

TORCHWOOD AT FOX
Our main man Double B Double D reacts to the news that the Doctor Who spin-off, Torchwood will be adapted for the U.S. on Fox. Doctor Who and Torchwood mastermind Russel T. Davies is involved and writing the script, so there’s hope, but DDBB justly points out it’s Fox which has killed both Firefly and Dollhouse. Read it here.
