New Batman: Arkham Knight Trailer Continues to Taunt My Lack of Next Gen
I don’t own a next gen console, either an X-Box One or a Playstation 4. And despite a lifetime of loving video games, I currently have no desire to drop hundreds of dollars on either of those machines. So what the heck am I supposed to do about Batman: Arkham Knight this fall?!
I have been a big fan of every single Batman: Arkam game so far. I’m not one of those guys who nitpicks every little thing, so yeah, I enjoyed Arkham Origins just fine. I’m sure I will love playing Arkham Knight. But man…it’s going to be a hard sell. Maybe I’ll spend the money to upgrade my computer so I can get the PC version. That will probably exist, right?
Also, still no sign of Robin…
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/17/14
It’s Godzilla Day, my friends! I’ll be off to see the movie before the night is over, and I can’t wait! The Big Guy has been smashing his way through my brain all week. Will it live up to the hype? Will Godzila once again be the ruler of all cinema? What’s that you’re saying? Godzilla isn’t even a comic book? And this is a comic book review article?
Well you’ve got me there!
Plenty of good and plenty of crummy comics this week. For one thing, I learned that I need to start reading Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers and New Avengers again. I also very nearly worked up the energy to read Superman: Doomed…but that didn’t happen. Ain’t nobody got time for dat.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Ghost Rider #3 because it was just the funnest comic of the week, despite a few flaws inherent to the title as a whole. Though Moment of the Week has to go to Captain Marvel #3 and Kelly Sue DeConnick’s continued attempts to turn Carol Danvers into the coolest superhero ever. Cool, but rude, that is.
Carol may just be the best superhero ever. She can make children cry!
Comic Reviews: All-New Ghost Rider #3, All-New X-Men #27, Batman Eternal #6, Captain Marvel #3, Justice League United #1 and Nightcrawler #2.
You can also check out my reviews of Avengers #29 and Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #1.
Epic, Full-Length Flash Trailer Reveals Everything!
Holy Guacamole, you guys! No sooner did The CW release that brief Flash teaser yesterday than they’ve come out with a full, 5-minute long trailer that reveals freaking everything for the new The Flash show! We’ve got Barry Allen, his supporting cast, his origin, the origin of his costume, the Weather Wizard, the death of his mom, the origin of metahumans, Vibe, it’s…it’s glorious!
Behold!
I love it. The show looks a little weird, a little kitschy, but I kind of like that too! I like the lead actor, I like the costume, I looooove the special effects! And I especially love the Green Arrow cameo. The show might have some growing pains, I think at the beginning. But it otherwise looks gorgeous.
First Teaser for Flash TV Show is Aptly Over Quickly
Did you guys and gals see Arrow‘s season finale? It was a badass adventure, to be sure. It also gave us our first look at the new Flash show in motion!
I don’t know about you, but I got a real sense of a growing Justice League from watching that clip. There’s just something really stirring about seeing live action superheroes hang out together. I grow more excited for the Flash show with every new bit I see.
Batman Will Be Toning Down the Ears
Behold, the first official picture of the new Batsuit for the Batman vs. Superman sequel! Theoretically, that’s Ben Affleck under the cowl.
Batman hates color
I like it! I like the shorter ears. I like the toughness of the costume. I like that it looks more like his traditional costume than some highly detailed, interconnected armor like from the Dark Knight trilogy. I hope we get to see a clearer picture eventually, but as for this first image, Tweeted by director Zack Snyder, I like it!
For an even better look, check out this Reddit thread where a guy colorized the photo to get a much clearer image!
And what’s that in the background? It’s the Batmobile! Snyder posted this picture yesterday.
Dat ass
I like the look of the Batmobile too.
So yeah, even though I really didn’t like Man of Steel, I’m digging all this Batman stuff.
Now then…give us Robin!
