Learn Everything There is to Learn About Ant-Man!
I’m gonna see Ant-Man soon! I’m so excited! I’ve been waiting for this movie for forever, and I hope it lives up to all of my hopes and dreams. But until then, let’s check out this fun superhero infographic, created by Halloweencostumes.com. Though it might be a little too confusing for people who don’t already know everything there is to know about Ant-Man, like me!
First Official Look at Apocalypse is Underwhelming and Blue
That great bastion of superhero reveals, Entertainment Weekly, has launched their cover piece on X-Men: Apocalypse, revealing the first official look at the titular villain. He’s big, he’s blue, but he’s also…underwhelming. Apocalypse has always been largely defined by his looks, especially that blue-lipped mug of his. But they’ve apparently decided to forgo those iconic lips for a normal, ordinary face.
I curse the god of Photoshop!
Magneto and Psylocke look pretty awesome, but Apoclaypse looks like a dude who doesn’t want to be in that picture.
Where’s the epic chin? Where’s the power and demeanor? What makes this guy so special? Ah, whatever, it’ll probably still be a good movie.
And if you want to see and learn more, you can check out this article in Entertainment Weekly for some plot info, and click here for some other hi-def pics. I’m only slightly disappointed that Multiple Man isn’t going to be in this one. He’ll get his due one of these days.
Oh, and I’ve posted the full magazine cover after the jump!
There’s Just Something Slightly Off About Pan
A new trailer for the upcoming Peter Pan movie has hit the web, and while it looks like a riotous good time, there’s just something about about the movie Pan.
There’s the white-washing, for one. There’s all this talk of the ‘natives’, but their representative is the lilywhite new Tiger Lily. Then there’s the abominable fact that Hugh Jackman is playing Blackbeard the pirate, and that Captain Hook is Peter Pan’s best pal/partner/sidekick. Who thought that was a good idea?
Still, weirdness aside, the CGI action effects look pretty cool. Pan might be this generation’s Hook, and I love me some Hook!

6 Musings on Robin in the DC Cinematic Universe
The second full trailer for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice was released at Comic-Con this past weekend, and my worst fears were realized: Robin is dead. We don’t know how and we don’t know who, but the sight of Robin’s costume covered in graffiti from the Joker confirms the rumors that the Boy Wonder is dead, buried and mourned in the DC Cinematic Universe.
Can we not have nice things?
Must he stand alone?
But I’m not giving up hope, at least not completely. I love Robin too much to give in to sadness and grief. There are going to be a lot of movies in the future. There’s going to be a solo Batman movie directed by Ben Affleck in a few years. There will be sequels and spin-offs, and who knows what else.
So with my Blue Lantern ring clutched firmly in hand, I thought I’d ponder a little about what I’d like for Robin in the DC Cinematic Universe.
First Suicide Squad Trailer Looks to Impress
After it leaked on a crappy cell phone recording after Comic-Con, the folks at DC and Warner Bros. have just decided to go ahead and release the full Suicide Squad trailer online!
I like it, it’s pretty cool. Lot of action, the characters look neat, and it seems generally good. I liked Harley and Will Smith. Not sure how I feel about the Joker yet. Those fake teeth make him sound ridiculous, and not in a good Joker way. It sounds like he has some fake teeth in his mouth. But overall, I think I’m OK with it. And it was a smart decision to just release the trailer to the larger public. You’ve got the darn thing, why sit on it when crappy cell phone versions are flitting around the web?
Though this might convince companies not to screen trailers at Comic-Con anymore…
