World's Finest, via Superhero Hype, reveals a new Batman animated series will premiere in 2013 called Beware the Batman. Here's some more details:
The next Batman animated series, debuting in 2013, is titled Beware the Batman. According to Register, the CGI animated series will spotlight a classic-looking Batman teaming up with a gun-toting Alfred Pennyworth and a female ninja sidekick. Beware the Batman is executive-produced by Glen Murakami, and will explore the mythology's more obscure villains, such as Professor Pyg, but also won't shy away from featuring some of the more well-known Batman foes. In the series, Batman will team up with a younger female sidekick named Katana. During the keynote, Register added that Katana will fill the sidekick role, but won't be a replacement for Robin.

Cool Toy Review has a write up on Kotobukiya's new Captain America.Josh Dallas, who plays Fandrall in Thor, spoke to IGN Movies and confirmed he'll be back for Thor 2 and seems to think Patty Jenkins is a lock to direct. Read more at that link, but here's a quote:
We are! We are planning a return to Asgard, next year. Thor 2 is happening. A great director called Patty Jenkins is directing the sequel. Ken [Branagh] is not directing, which is obviously a huge shame, because he came in and created that world and created the language and the look of the whole thing. But he's kind of set it all up for us and I think he's staying on as a producer. But yeah, there's going to be some more adventures in the Nine Realms.
