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.

The Nerd Reviews: Batman Arkham Knight

Batman: Arkham Knight is the conclusion to the Arkham trilogy of games that brings together the villains of Gotham in a way that forces The Dark Knight to come face to face with his biggest failures and fears; and the game, much like Batman himself, also faces it's biggest failures but does it rise above and become the game we need or does it burn along with all of Gotham?

Unpopular Opinion: Everyone Needs To Stop Hating A White Peter Parker

It was recently announced that Tom Holland will be the next Peter Parker/Spider-Man and in typical internet fashion, people couldn't wait to unleash the barrage of "oh wow another white Peter Parker" comments; this may come to you as a shock but this is how Peter Parker looks:

He is a white guy, always has been, so being upset over the fact that a white person is playing a white hero makes no sense to me. Now, I know what the next argument is going to be, "What about Miles Morales?" and to that I say "What about Miles Morales?" Sure I like him as a character but as a superhero what has he done in the 5 years he's been around? Virtually nothing. Yeah he's been in the most recent events but in terms of his own story there is not much to go off; hell even his origin story connects to that of Peter Parker and that is the problem with Miles so far...he's too attached to the Peter Parker story to have his own. His supporting cast includes Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane, Aunt May,an actual clone of Peter Parker and Ganke (who is a non Peter Parker related character). Miles gets assistance from Shield because of Peter Parker, gets the webshooters that Peter made, deals with his villains....you get the picture. Miles, at least to me, hasn't been used enough in the comics and established in his own right but that is looking to change with the release of his solo this Fall as

You will be this Fall

"Spider-Man"; no subtitles or asterisks, he's going to be the Spider-Man of the new Marvel Universe and I hope with that change they will give him his own rogues and story-lines that are separate from Peter Parker.

One of my biggest gripes with not just the current Spider-Man backlash but with all of the happenings in the comic book movie world is this faux representation that has people getting into a frenzy. The new Fantastic Four has Micheal B Jordan playing Johnny Storm aka Human Torch, who is traditionally a white character, and people are praising Fox for being diverse and all that. Look I don't hate seeing black people as superheroes, if you know me at all you know it's quite the opposite, but what I don't like is black people having to play white characters in order to be heroes. When I see people frothing at the mouth at the fact that Peter Parker isn't being played with a nonwhite character it upsets me because it is such a pandering move to me. You can't just slap on a new paint job and think the character will be the same because a white person gets treated very differently from a black person and that treatment is reflected in the way a character is written; look at the current Captain America, did Steve Rogers have to deal with the social issues that Sam Wilson does? I want to see black superheroes get their shine, I want to have more black heroes in films that are based off of black heroes in comics because that will expose them to a bigger fanbase. Going back to the Johnny Storm thing, let's say a kid sees the new FF and loves Johnny and wants to read comics, it will not be the same Johnny that he fell in love with or connected with and at the end of the day it will increase the awareness of Johnny Storm but not the black one that he thought he was going to see.

I hope this ushers in a new age

With Black Panther coming out in 2018 I think it's time for those who claim to want diversity stop getting upset at white people being cast to play white heroes and start demanding more nonwhite heroes get put onto the big screen. Trust me, there are a plethora of nonwhite comic book heroes who are more than ready to make a big screen debut but clinging onto this faux representation is a joke; it has us being more focused on what kind of table scraps we get instead of questioning why the hell we can't sit at the table. I don't want to give anymore shine to white heroes and believe me I understand that it is so frustrating to not see a minority hero as a lead that you rather just do a racebend but that isn't good enough anymore, it is time that our heroes get the same treatment that the white ones get.

E3 2015: Sony's Press Conference

Ok so Sony wasn't the first of the Big 3 to go but I just finished watching their press conference and I was amazed at just how well they did, well more than amazed because they gave us a special treat during that I didn't even know was happening.

E3 2015: It Begins

Get ready for another week full of new releases, game info, trailers and all the good things we love about gaming. Its a nice change of pace from all the negative press the community has been getting lately; no more talk about morality and all that stuff, just pure unadulterated gaming bliss.
