Doctor Strange Trailer is All Freaky Deaky Like
This has been one great Comic-Con for movie trailers! And not to be outdone by DC, Marvel released a new, epic trailer for Doctor Strange!
That is definitely some freaky deaky movie magic. I don’t know what I was expecting from Doctor Strange, but it wasn’t that, and I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. Weird city manipulations? Whazzat? I guess we’ll find out in November! I still have full faith in Marvel to pull off just about anything!

LEGO Batman Movie Doesn’t Look Too Bad After All
Look, as a Robin fan, I’ve got to make my peace with the short shorts and the pixie boots. There’s just no other way around it. I hate them with a passion, and I hate that society as a whole has so maligned Robin because of them. So yeah, it bugs me that they’re the first go-to joke in the full trailer for The LEGO Batman Movie.
But other than that, I don’t think Robin’s portrayal is all that bad! And Michael Cera does a pretty great voice! I’ve just got to keep faith in the franchise. The LEGO Movie is one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen, with a completely unexpected depth. If this movie can pull off that same trick with Batman and Robin, then wholly heck! That would be amazing.
Plus, it doesn’t look like we’re going to get Robin in the DC Cinematic Universe, so I suppose I should take what I can get.

Justice League Gets an Awesome Trailer Too!
Quick on the heels of that awesome Wonder Woman trailer, here’s our first look at the Justice League on the big screen as well!
Another amazing trailer! I love the focus on the characters, and each one gets a moment to shine. Flash looked awesome, Aquaman looks awesome; heh, Bruce Wayne comes off better than Batman. But yeah, this looks snazzy as all heck! Looks like they learned their lesson with Batman v. Superman!
Though I am sad that Robin doesn’t get to be a part of all of this. Poor, poor Robin.

First Wonder Woman Trailer is About as Badass as It Gets
Behold, the first trailer for next year’s Wonder Woman movie! Let’s have some fun up in here!
Looks awesome! There’s color, there’s humor, there’s humanity; heck, her lasso even glows! And they use her theme from Batman v. Superman to good effect. I like the grittiness of putting her on the front lines of World War I. I like the hardcore action, with Wonder Woman at the center. I gotta say, I’m optimistic and I’m gonna hope for the best!

The First Look at LEGO Movie Robin is Not Encouraging
Your favorite sidekick and mine will debut and star in the upcoming LEGO Batman Movie next February. Seeing as how I’m a huge Robin fan, I’m very excited. But knowing how Robin is typically treated in pop culture, I’m also very worried. These first pictures, revealed by USA Today, have me more worried than excited.
What’s with the eyes?
Sparkly cape? Big googly eyes? Probably pixie boots? Eh.
And the cape?
Robin will be voiced by Michael Cera, which is fine, I suppose. According to director Chris McKay, Robin starts out as an annoyance to Batman’s lone vigilante style. Batman accidentally adopts him during a charity auction. He describes the character thusly:
“Robin is a super-positive kid who always sees the glass as half full. Really, at the end of the day, he just wants a hug. Michael brings the sweetness and honesty.”
So I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. There should be a new trailer debuting at some point during Comic-Con!
