Week In Geek The Dark Knight Cast Expands Fringe To Return For Season Four ryan Reynolds, a CG sequel show, "Green Lantern: The Animated Series," will continue to follow the adventures of the Emerald Knight Robinson, who in the comics was a friend to Selina Kyle (Catwoman), to be played by Anne Hathaway



 "Week In Geek," "The Dark Knight Rises" adds two cast members... The search begins for Superman's next big screen archenemy... "Fringe" fans rejoice as FOX renews the show for a fourth season... And Captain America swings his mighty shield in a full-length trailer.

JUNO TEMPLE CONFIRMED FOR "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" CAST - Juno Temple ("Year One," "Atonement") has joined cast of "The Dark Knight Rises" in an unspecified supporting role according to Variety.


This comes hot on the heels of the addition of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who will be re-uniting with his "Inception" director Christopher Nolan and cast mates Tom Hardy (Bane) and Michael Caine (Alfred) in the third Batman film to star Christian Bale.
Rumors persist online that Temple will be playing "a street-smart Gotham girl," leading to fan speculation she could be playing a female version of Robin. But a better bet is that she's in line for the character of Holly Robinson, who in the comics was a friend to Selina Kyle (Catwoman), to be played by Anne Hathaway.



"FRINGE" GETS A FOURTH YEAR FROM FOX - FOX announced that the critically acclaimed and cult fanboy favorite TV show "Fringe" will be back for a fourth season to further explore the mind boggling alternative universe storyline that has captivated its audience.
"'Fringe' has truly hit a creative stride and has distinguished itself as one of television's most original programs," said Kevin Reilly, FOX Entertainment President, in a press release. "When we moved the show to Fridays, we asked the fans to follow and they did. We're thrilled to bring it back for another full season and keep it part of the FOX family."
"We could not be happier that the fans of 'Fringe' (and our most excellent partners at FOX) have allowed us to continue telling stories from the fringe for another season!" said executive producer J.J. Abrams regarding the renewal.



WHO'S CIRCLING TO BE THE NEXT "SUPERMAN"VILLAIN? - Director Zack Snyder has been pretty tight lipped while promoting his latest film "Sucker Punch" when it came to spilling any juicy details regarding his upcoming Superman reboot film, starring Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel.
However, he did set the record straight regarding whether Viggo Mortensen will be suiting up as a super villain in the film.


"Viggo is not going to be in the movie, let's say that right now. I can clear that up," he told Latino Review, clearing up his rumored casting as General Zod.
Mortensen will more likely co-star alongside Kristen Stewart in the title role in "Snow White and the Huntsman."
A new name has been added to the bad guy casting mix courtesy of Deadline: Michael Shannon ("Boardwalk Empire," "Revolutionary Road"). They report that he is being looked at for a possible role as the still unnamed foe set to face off against the Man of Steel.

"CAPTAIN AMERICA" FULL LENGTH TRAILER HITS THE WEB - Following a 30-second preview during the Super Bowl, Marvel Studios finally unleashed the full action packed trailer to "Captain America: The First Avenger" starring Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America and Hugo Weaving as the villainous Red Skull.
The 1940's set film will serve as a set-up to Marvel's 2012 super hero all-star movie "The Avengers."

CARTOON NETWORK EXPANDS THEIR SUPERHERO SLATE - At their upfront presentation in NYC this week, The Cartoon Network announced their lineup of new and returning shows set for 2011 and 2012.
The '80s animated icons "ThunderCats" will return to the airwaves this year with an exciting anime influenced update. To coincide with Warner Bros. highly anticipated big screen "Green Lantern" starring Ryan Reynolds, a CG sequel show, "Green Lantern: The Animated Series," will continue to follow the adventures of the Emerald Knight.
Debuting in 2012, "DC Nation" will combine on-air and online content featuring characters from DC Entertainment. Cartoon Network promises an insider's look at the DC Universe through event programming and behind-the-scenes exclusives of their upcoming big screen productions.
Also confirmed to return for a fourth season is the edgy (and excellent) CG-animated "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," which follows the further adventures of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the timeline between the saga's big screen "Episode II: The Clone Wars" and "Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith."
