The Amazing Spider-Man – SPOILER ALERTLeaked toy photos for the upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man” show off what seems to be better glimpses of the rather oddly designed villain The Lizard, and have revealed some big set pieces we can expect to see in the film.Amongst them are a climactic massive battle on the top of Oscorp Tower with not just the baddie but what looks like a whole SWAT team having been turned into a Lizard army. Theres also a big sequence in the sewers where Dr. Conners seems to have a secret lab, and one with a bridge battle where Spidey battles Lizard with the latter in some kind of hovering aerial gunship.

Ghost Rider- It doesn’t affect the upcoming film in any way, but on the comic publishing front a legal tussle over the rights to Marvel Comics hero “Ghost Rider” has been resolved with Marvel beating out writer Gary Friedrich who conceived the character in the 1970s.Friedrich sued Marvel claiming the first film in 2007 had infringed his rights because he owned the character and sought compensation for its use in films, toys, video games and other merchandise. As he had cashed cheques from Marvel for his work though, the judge ruled he had no case. [Source: BBC]
