Unpopular Opinion: We Should Let Women Bulk


With Comic-Con 2015 coming to a close today, we've gotten a lot of new information about upcoming films and a lot of those films include female superheroes. Now this is good news as representation is always important but I couldn't help but notice the lack of diversity in character type; that is to say when are going to let the female characters look super?

Vixen Sizzle Reel


Damn DC, you're giving me so many gifts today and I have nothing for you. I believe this will be the formal introduction to not only Vixen in the FLARROWverse but also magic. Vixen is a CW Seed show that will be premiering Aug 25th 2015.

Green Lantern Reboot Announced: Green Lantern Corps


Well WB/DC is not messing around and decided not only to give fans another Green Lantern film but a film with  possibly multiple Green Lanterns. There isn't much else to go on but there are rumors that Chris Pine is a candidate to play Hal Jordan and Tyrese has shown interest in playing John Stewart. I have no idea who they will cast but it's nice to hear that DC isn't playing it safe; to go all in on a franchise that previously flopped isn't something they are known to do but maybe this will give it the success it deserves. I need them to do this film right because I think we all want to see a Blackest Night cinematic event in the future.

5 Thoughts I got from Batman vs Superman Trailer


So I've been waiting for this trailer for quiet sometime and it seems like it was well worth the wait. There are ton of little things in this trailer that make my inner and outer fanboy squeal out in joy,  allow me to share a few of  them.

1.  This is post  A Death in the Family

Jason Todd's suit
Even though Batman is first appearing in BvS next year, within the universe he's been active for sometime and the screen grab of the trailer pretty much cements that fact. For a little backstory, "Death in the Family" is the name of the storyline where the Joker takes Jason Todd (the 2nd Robin) prisoner and tortures him; eventually killing him in an explosion. Now if this suit does indeed belong to Jason then that means that Batman and Joker already have an established history. I am surprised that they would go that route since Jason has never been used in film before but that does lead to a possible Red Hood appearance, which is totally awesome and should happen.

2. Wonder Woman actually looks kick ass

Its about damn time
Not gonna lie, I was apprehensive with how they would do Wonder Woman since they went the supermodel look and not the Serena Williamsesque look I wanted but I will say that I have no issues with how she looks. Diana is stunning in her civies and looks like she is gonna raise all kinds of hell in her iconic warrior costume. I hope she says "Hera give me strength" because that would just be super cheesy and I like that stuff.

3. Drawing from multiple storylines

I'm getting a Red Son vibe here
First we have "A death in the family" and now we have some elements of Red Son being worked in here. I could be totally wrong here but it seems as if Superman may wield a level of control over the police/military, similar to that in Red Son (but to a lesser degree obviously). The BvS version of Batman also seems to view Superman the same way that Red Son Batman does and even has a plan to take him out ( so it seems). Either way I think it'll be interesting to see just how all this comes together. Also, when the hell does Batman go out in the day time?

4. Kryptonite exists in the DCCU
I wish that hairstyle didn't though
Well it was only a matter of time before they introduce this into the universe but it looks like Lex will be the one to use it so now I'm really interested in seeing just how long Batman will last without this ace in the hole. 

5. The Kent's are still really not a fan of humanity

Possibly the worst advice you could give your godlike alien son
I'm glad that Martha Kent is continuing the proud tradition of telling Clark that humanity is really worth anything, it's a staple of this new universe that  I want to see more of.

The real number 5. Bizzaro???
Shh he's sleeping
Ok so we know that Superman did a very not Supermany thing in the end of Man of Steel and snapped Zod's neck. Now, they could be using Zod's body as a way to make a serum to enhance soldiers or whatever but what if they tried to bring him back, things go wrong and bam we get Bizzaro. Yes I know Bizzaro is a Superman clone but given the situation this makes more sense....or as much sense as bringing a dead alien back to life can make.

Those are a few of the thoughts that I had watching this trailer. I still don't like Jessie Eisenberg as Lex Luthor but other than that it was a freaking awesome trailer.
