The trailer for the latest chapter in the Independence Day saga dropped a few hours ago, and to be honest I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. Between Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Captain America: Civil War and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and X-Men: Apocalypse there are some huge movies coming out relatively soon. There’s potentially millions riding on when these […]
I have just watched the latest trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse, and it’s…okay. It teases Apocalypse, his Four Horsemen, his origins and so forth but there’s a problem: As far as superhero movies go, we’re in a time of wonders. From the Avengers to Superman, some of the greatest in comics have, or will soon, pop up […]
The full trailer for Batman v Superman dropped last night, and I get a very Transformers-like vibe from it (as in huge special effects in service of a pretty simple story. And speaking of story, doesn’t this trailer seem to give away a lot of stuff that they maybe shouldn’t have?), which isn’t necessarily a good thing […]
Many comics fans tend to get up in arms when the appearance of their favorite characters changes from comics to the movies, and sometimes there are good reasons for it. As they exist with within comic books humans aren’t typically designed to be interpreted in three dimensions–as the proportions of some of them readily illustrate–though that’s beginning to change, since […]
This teaser aired during an episode of Gotham, and I’m sorry, but I can’t stop looking at how absurdly fake Batman’s triceps look. I know that actors in these types of movies traditionally wear muscle suits, but my god that does not look even close to real.
It’s probably not a great thing that when I heard that DC Entertainment was releasing a DVD called Batman: Bad Blood the first thing that came to mind was this video by HISHE. Because in the end it’s all about the Bat Blood.
I like it how as of late DC Entertainment stopped Nolanizing all their comic book properties–at least on television, at any rate. Not every character is Batman, and it’s good to see that they’re finally embracing the more fantastical aspects of many of them. It’s a trend that began with The Flash, moved into Arrow, and […]
Sometimes the best strategy is to let the movie do the talking.
If the latest trailer for Warner Bros. upcoming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is any indicator, it embodies what irritates me about what I have seen of the DC Cinematic Universe (So far, that’s just Man of Steel). It feels that the heroes that make it up, Superman in particular, just doesn’t get the […]
I admit, after learning that Marvel Studios isn’t coming to Comic-Con this year, that I was a mite concerned (though Marvel Television and Cartoons are attending) because that meant that DC Entertainment would dominate the convention with news and clips from Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (still hate that title) and Suicide Squad. Though based […]
