  • 39 Years Later: A Look Back At ‘The Incredible Hulk’s First Episode

    Most publications esteem traditional beauty and round numbers, but not here at Superfan! We like our bodies green, and our numbers as odd as they come! So today, we celebrate The Incredible Hulk on its 39th anniversary with this look back at the show’s first episode. After CBS aired two TV movies based on the popular comic book character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, a series was developed to premiere on March 10th, 1978. “Final Round,” the regular series’s first episode, was about Dr. David Banner busting a heroin trafficking ring on the mean streets of Wilmington, Delaware.

  • Guy Who Wanted To Look Like The Hulk Almost Lost His Arms

    A bodybuilder who wanted to resemble The Incredible Hulk is instead feeling green, after the synthetic muscle injections he used caused myriad health problems and nearly led to the amputation of his arms. Romario dos Santos Alves, a 25-year-old from Caldas Novas, Brazil, told Barcroft Media he started injecting his muscles with the mixture of oil and alcohol three years ago in an attempt to beef up his physique. Doctors informed the bodybuilder his arms might need to be amputated because they had necrotic tissue, caused by bacteria infecting the tissue and eating away at itself.

  • Director Admits 3D Was 'Gimmick To Steal Money From The Audience'

    Director Louis Leterrier is in a better frame of mind than he was during the press rounds for 2010's "Clash of the Titans." That film, a box office success with $493 million in worldwide grosses, was plagued by controversy surrounding its rushed 3D conversion. Leterrier understands the critiques: he now admits that the "Clash of the Titans" 3D was "horrible," but he kept quiet in an effort to play, in his words, the "good boy" for Warner Bros. Leterrier has no such concerns about his new film, "Now You See Me." The thriller stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco as The Four Horsemen, a team of magicians that uses their stage shows to pull off elaborate heists, then deliver the newfound wealth to those in need.

  • You Won't Like Him When He's Making Spreadsheets

    The site asked readers which superhero they'd least like to work with and found that workers value dependability the most in a superhero colleague. "Between The Hulk being a loose cannon and Iron Man consistently being late, the results speak volumes – the hourly workforce is willing to overlook an irritating voice or an alleged ‘kiss up’ for the sake of a reliable and pleasant co-worker,” Jason Hamilton, senior vice president of marketing for Snagajob, said of the results in a press release. Of course there are many more types of annoying coworkers than those represented in the superheroes above, such as the Narcissist, the Droner and the Weasel, according to CBS MoneyWatch.

  • Hulk smash new Marvel pinball table next year

    The Pinball games from Zen Studios -- Pinball FX 2 on XBLA and Marvel Pinball on PSN -- will receive a Hulk table sometime next year. XBLAfans took note of the forum post where Mel Kirk, VP of PR and Marketing for Zen Studios, explicitly announced the angry green goon's forthcoming appearance. "Everything that comes from Marvel next year will be bigger, not necessarily character specific," Kirk told us when we asked about the table. "Hulk will be the main character, but it will be based on something in the Marvel storyline." It would appear Zen Studios' relationship with Marvel is going well. The company launched the original Marvel tables last year, followed by DLC featuring Fantastic Four and Captain America (one of the best tables available), and the "Vengeance and Virtue" tables which came out last week. From what Zen Studios is saying, there's plenty more to come in 2012.

  • Mark Ruffalo Confirmed As New 'Incredible Hulk'

  • Nielsen VideoScan High-Def market share for week ending October 26th, 2008

    Who'd a thought that The Incredible Hulk would sell so well? We sure didn't, as we predicted sales to be down more than 1.26 percent, on this week's Nielsen VideoScan chart courtesy of Home Media Magazine. Thanks to the Hulk, Blu-ray managed to net $17.71 million this week, which makes October the biggest month in history. In fact, consumers spent $76.86 million in October alone, which is more than all of August and September combined -- it will be very interesting to see if Blu-ray can keep this up through the last two months of the year though. For whatever reason the green monster was a hotter seller on Blu-ray than DVD, as it outsold Indiana by about 4:1, which is about twice as much as the DVD version managed against the same competition. This showed up on the Blu-ray title share chart, as the Hulk stole over 18 percent away from its DVD version, which to our memory is the best of any day-and-date title ever. The fun is over next week though, as there are only so many comic book movies around, and the next one isn't due for about a month. But when the latest Batman does hit the shelves, watch out, as it should easily outsell every Blu-ray title to date including the mighty Iron Man.

  • "Incredible Hulk" To Be First Movie With Environmental Seal In Credits

    With Edward Norton working both behind the scenes and in front of the camera for the new Hulk movie, we thought he surely must be doing something to reduce the production's environmental footprint. "From the very beginning, Marvel, Universal, Edward Norton and I were all focused on making ('Hulk') a very green production," Producer Gale Anne Hurd said. To that end, the on-set efforts included a massive reduction in the use of plastic utensils and water bottles.
