News From ComicCon International

Stripperella

Stripperella is a animated show that stars Pam Anderson as the lead character. The action takes place in The Tenderloins, which is a strip club. Strippers dancing is an integral part of the show. Pam will appear live at the beginning and the end of each episode. The show uses a combination of 2D and CGI animation. Villains who are featured include Dr. Caesarean, who is an evil surgeon who does things like implant nitroglycerin in boobs, and Cheapo, a villain on a budget. The show includes such supporting characters as the stripper Persephone, who is dating 1/2 of a pair of Siamese twins. Pam, who is Strippella, has such secret gadgets as breasts which are lie detectors. If one touches, them, one has to tell the truth. She uses her tongue lick things, because her tongue is a computer scanner. All in all, it looks like it’s going to be an amusing show.

JLA

Aquaman is coming back. JLA is going looking for him in The Search for Aquaman. There will be tons of characters featured, and the team will be different afterwards. Also, this will launch a revamped Aquaman comic.

JLA/Avengers,

Busiek is writing, Perez is drawing. Kurt Busiek jokes it includes "a luau and a fight." There will be actual repercussions in the DCU coming from the crossover.

Leonard Kirk is not going to draw Supergirl much longer. There is way too much in his last issue for him to talk about.

As far as JSA goes, there is another Golden Age story coming "kinda." Crimson Avenger sets his sights on Wildcat about JSA #45.

Lord of The Rings : The OneRing.net Panel

Let me preface this by saying that some of this is speculation, and other parts of it are factual. I can’t really tell you which is which. The Two Towers in the movie refer to Barad Dur and Orthanc. Haldir, the lead elf from Lothlorien, has a large role in The Two Towers. He apparently leads Lothlorien elves to assist in the Battle of Helm’s Deep. Eowen’s role is expanded in the movie. For some unknown reason, Elrond cannot hold Rivendell, so he leads a migration to Lothlorien. Shelob is put off until The Return of The King. From the footage that the OneRing.net folks have seen, they speculate that Saruman is killed by being pushed off of Orthanc by Grima, the Wormtongue. Apparently Theoden’s son Theodred, is going to be poisoned by Wormtongue over a period of time, instead of being killed in battle.

Smallville, the TV Show

Next season the creators are trying to get away from the "creature of the week" format. They are going to cover some of the past of Krypton, as it pertains to Clark. They are introducing Red Kryptonite next season. We are going to see more of Pete Ross. Lois Lane is Chloe’s cousin. The creators are trying to find a way to introduce a young Bruce Wayne, probably as an old prep school chum of Lex Luthor.
