Movie studios will be releasing at least four superhero movies in 2011—Thor, Captain America, X-Men: First Class, and Green Lantern—and there are already at least two superhero movies—a new Batman movie and the Avengers movie—announced for 2012. And you may be wondering: Is this superhero movie overload? Is there any facet of the film industry that has not gone completely superhero-crazy?
The parodies under this new imprint will pay tribute to the world’s most popular comic heroes. Axel already started pre-production on a parody of Superman, which will be followed by those of The Green Hornet, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Thor, and The Incredible Hulk.
Full press release is here. All right, I'm totally on board for the Hulk one. I'm willing to bet that this line is going to have to change its name soon, though, as Marvel and DC jointly own the word "superhero."
