Launch Trailer for Game That is Probably Dead to Me
Behold, the pretty cool launch trailer for Injustice: Gods Among Us! It comes out on Tuesday!
Sadly, despite all the coverage I’ve given this game, I will probably not be playing it anytime soon. Mostly because my X-Box 360 remains dead and I’ve been too broke to buy a replacement. But also, in part, because it does not look like Robin is going to be a playable character. I know, I know, silly reason to avoid a game. But I gave Injustice: Gods Among Us some of the best publicity of my life! And this is how they repay me!
You’re dead to me, Injustice: Gods Among Us.
At least until I go buy that new X-Box.
Did Someone from Arrow Read My Blog?
I’ve been enjoying the TV show Arrow these past few months. It’s not great, but it’s a good, solid superhero show. There are now four episodes left until the end of the season, and showrunner Marc Guggenheim tweeted something last night that hints towards an upcoming guest star.
And that potential guest star appears on my list of 6 DC cameos I’d like to see on Arrow!
Is Mark Guggenheim reading my blog? I can only assume that yes, yes he is. Join me after the jump to see the tease!
A New Kind of Batman
This is just a little bit of hilarity to start your morning. For some reason, the TV station ABC Family is going to air Batman Begins, and they decided to punch it up into a friendlier, more cheerful sort of movie. Now, apparently, Batman “fights for family” and “lives for love!”
You’ve got to see it to believe it.
It’s like one of those Youtube edits where they use careful editing to make a comedy look like a horror film. Truth is, though, I would probably watch the hell out of this cheerful movie.
Watch Out, Tim Drake Fans! DC is Still a Den of Liars!
Do not buy this week’s issue of Batman and Red Robin #19! Well, I mean, you can buy it if you want to. But if you, like me, were looking for any examination of the Bruce/Tim dynamic in the New 52, you will be grossly disappointed. The two barely have anything to do with one another, and when they do interact, it’s just a circumstance of the plot.
This is almost as bad as when we were teased about Red Robin getting an issue of Night of the Owls. Seriously, if you were planning on buying this comic just for the Tim Drake appearance, save your money.
I guess you could buy it for Carrie Kelley, maybe
I’ll post some spoilers after the jump. Just know that this issue is not a team up between Bruce and Tim. DC Comics is a Den of Liars and Thieves!
6 Superhero Movies That DC Comics Should Make
There’s never going to be a Justice League movie. It’s not going to star Christian Bale or Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Batman. And it’s not going to be directed by Christopher Nolan. Granted, this is probably just my opinion, but I feel confident in declaring that DC Comics are never going to get their act together. They are never going to create any movie to compete with Marvel’s multi-billion dollar Avengers juggernaut. It’s simply not going to happen. Even though DC Comics is owned by Warner Bros., which is already in the movie-making business, they are never going to succeed in creating anything more than the occasional Superman or Batman film.
But wouldn’t it be great if they could? If Marvel can make successful franchises out of Iron Man, Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy, wouldn’t it be great if DC could get some other heroes up on the big screen?
They’re sad ’cause they ain’t never gonna have a movie
Being the huge comic book nerd that I am, I looked over DC’s impressive roster of characters and picked out a few that I think could make for a good movie. Not all of them may be as successful as Iron Man or The Avengers, but if DC can make a popular TV show out of Green Arrow, or waste millions of dollars on a bad Green Lantern movie, I think they should consider some of these options. And please tell me some of your ideas in the comments. What DC movies would you like to see?
