Happy 75th Anniversary To The Creation Of Jerry Siegel And Joe Shuster
Superman isn’t real and wasn’t born; he had creators who made him. Today is the 75th anniversary of their accomplishment.

Editorial Note: With regret, CBR News has to inform our readers today that there will no longer be a “B&B” column on the site after only four short months.
When CBR proposed the idea of a regular column with DC’s executive staff, our stated intent was for the feature to be a place to connect the decision makers at the publisher with the wider comics community. Aside from product and story information, discussing the industry news and debates of the day was something we always planned to focus on both in the regular interviews with Harras and Chase and the monthly fan Q&A. However, the DC team has made it clear to CBR that discussing some of the more controversial debates surrounding the company and the comics community is not something they feel comfortable doing in this format, and ultimately they decided to no longer participate in this feature.
Specifically, Harras and Chase declined to comment on questions about DC exclusive talent Jerry Ordway in regards to his statements about his work with the publisher. (Though it should be noted that DC Co-Publisher Jim Lee did discuss the matter in a recent CBR TV interview)
After ensuing discussions on the matter, CBR regrets that DC has decided not to continue what we consider a valuable discussion for readers, retailers and creators. We will however continue to cover the company’s comics, editorial moves and broader impact on comics to the best of our ability – including future interviews with DC executives and editorial staff as they are willing and available.

This is what happens when a company doesn’t expect press, but pets. Good on CBR.

The all-star cast also includes Michael B. Jordan — star of this year’s Sundance darling Fruitvale— as Cyborg, the half-man, half-robot government agent/hero; Southland’s C. Thomas Howell as Professor Zoom, aka the Reverse Flash, the villain at the center of the turmoil; Cary Elwes as Aquaman, Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman; Sam Daly as Superman; Ron Perlman as Slade; and Danny Huston as General Lane. Warner Bros. Animation vets Kevin Conroy, Dana Delanyand Nathan Fillion reprise their roles as Batman, Lois Lane and Green Lantern, respectively.
Holy crap, dat cast.
Ron Perlman reprising his role as Slade?

My fancast for Cass is actress & martial artist Yanin “Jeeja” Vismitananda. She kind of cemented that position in my mind with her starring role in the 2008 film “Chocolate”, where she played an autistic & mostly mute girl who learned to fight from watching kung fu movies and saves her mother from a loan shark by beating up the mobsters who owe her money. She kicked all kinds of ass.daggerpen Said:
… holy
shit
I, uh
She’s
… sorry, Kitty, but fancast accepted like woah.
Yeeeesss this is the best fancast now and forever. Chocolate is as close to a Cass movie as we’ll probably ever get.

Grr. This panel in the latest Demon Knights irritated me. Because, um, excuse me—
Atla, having just met the Knights, doesn’t know what Ystin’s preferred pronoun is, but Ex sure as hell does. Having her refer to her former lover as “she” when Ystin has specifically identified with masculine pronouns? Bulllllshit.
Yeah, I feel like Venditti is probably just following in Cornell’s footsteps since he always had everyone refer to Ystin as ‘she.’ I would hope that Ex of all people would know better by this point, though.

Mostly just Cass Cain and comic books, really.
