How about Tr2n????

TRON (current title) is being handled by Walt Disney Pictures. The list above is for Warner Bros. only.

Cant wait..............I'll be there......hopefully they will have something from iron man 2.........

I'm pretty sure Marvel will give Iron Man 2 a decent presence at the con. Jon Favreau and company have been absolutely awesomesauce about getting out to the con the last couple of years and giving us all kinds of news, previews and goodies.

I can usually never make it into Hall H before it fills up, but i'm game to try again for some Holmes and Hex info. it's nice to know you guys're gonna be there for all the stuff we can't get to, though...

I thought Smallville was going to be there too? Or is that a CW panel? Curious to see if that 'Metropolis' thing comes to fruition.

And yes Jarrod, kudos for using the Megan Fox pic. You could probably use that for every article. Change the website name to 'Megania'.
