Daily Scan: 09.12.08 - Greatest American Hero Feature Confirmed, SciFi Concept Albums

• Yeesh. The creator of The Greatest American Hero confirms a movie remake... hopefully blond-fro intact.
• The latest issue of Frank Miller's All Star Batman and Robin is being destroyed at newsstands because of rampant profanity. "F**k you twice, d***wad, you let a f**king little piece of jailbait @$$ steal your wheels..." Yes, that seems extreme.
• Think Artificial informs us of the tragic history of the real-life Dr. Manhattan.
• io9's list of the greatest scifi concept albums starts with an old favorite of mine: Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds.
• Michael Caine seems to think Christopher Nolan's Batman 3 will feature Johnny Depp as Riddler and Philip Seymor Hoffman. I don't believe it. The second movie sets up Catwoman as the villain, and the perfect choice for the new Riddler is the same guy who played him in the past: Jim Carrey, but turning in a far darker performance.
• Everything that can possibly be inferred about the Battlestar Galactica movie.
• This is the awesomest action figure of Tom Baker as The Doctor that can possibly be imagined. They got everything right, including the drunk mania of his eyes.
