The final selection of music includes works by Brahms, Prokofiev, Shostakovich and more contemporary musicians, including Queen.
ConWatch: Kapow gets slammed again for being a "sausage-watch" and that its lack of female stars prevents it from being like San Diego. I must confess that, even outside of manga, I'd have been surprised if comics A-lister Posy Simmonds hadn't been invited. With a film of her comic out recently too, wouldn't that have been perfect Kapow material?

'Superman' Fight Rages – The Hollywood Reporter
That makes it more difficult for Toberoff and his clients to peddle Superman rights to another studio (and pressure Warners into a settlement). So he's now appealing the limited grant of rights to the 9th Circuit, hoping the court will finally determine who owns what.
