Please Allow Me a Moment to Freak Out Prematurely About Nightwing
We don’t yet know whether or not Nightwing will be in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. We know that Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Cyborg are all going to appear, and possibly more. But there is no confirmation yet on Nightwing (or Robin, for that matter). I’m not panicking yet. There were rumors about Nightwing, but nothing for sure.
Until now…maybe…probably not. But darn it, I’m going to get my hopes up! Because they’ve cast an actor named Scoot McNairy, and he looks like Dick Grayson!
Boy Wonder?
Not that Dick Grayson has a particular look. But he could definitely play Dick Grayson!
A lot of people are making guesses. Joker? Flash? Green Lantern? Warner Bros. is apparently keeping McNairy’s role super secret. Not even reliable scoopsters on the web have a solid answer.
I have no idea who Scoot McNairy is going to play. But until we know otherwise, I’m just going to assume it’s Nightwing! Because I’m a sucker.
He Did It Again! The Star Wars Prequels By Way of Guardians of the Galaxy!
Close down the Internet for the rest of the year, The Unusual Suspect has won the whole darn thing. Less than a week after his amazing first video – a trailer for the original Star Wars trilogy done in the style of Guardians of the Galaxy – Unusual Suspect has done the same thing for the prequels. It’s not as good, but it’s damn good.
Genius! If anyone asks you the point of the Internet, show them these videos. We obviously did something good recently, because these videos are our karma. They are glorious.
Transformers is as Bad as We Remember
I actually liked the first Transformers movie, and maybe a little bit of the third, but mostly the franchise has been just as big, loud and indistinguishable as we remember! And in case you forgot, Cinema Sins is here to help us out with their classic tributes to the first three movies! Though fair warning, the second two clips are both 20 minutes long. I guess there are a lot of sins.
Transformers
Revenge of the Fallen
Dark of the Moon
What better way to prepare for Age of Extinction this weekend?

The 6 Most Underrated Movie Transformers
Because money makes the world go round, we have once again arrived at another Transformers movie! This one is entitled ‘Age of Extinction’, the logical follow-up to ‘Revenge of the Fallen’ and ‘Dark of the Moon’. Why the new film isn’t called ‘Age of the Extinction’, I will never know. But all these titles raise the obvious point: how are future generations supposed to figure out the viewing order? Will it even matter by that point? Who cares! Explosions!
“I forgot to mention the Dinobots is all…”
The big draw this time around will be the Dinobots, and I’m personally looking forward to some robot stegosaurus action. Major characters like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee will return, but Shia LeBeouf, who played the part of the human, has been replaced by Mark Wahlberg, playing the part of the new human (the part he was born to play, baby!). So if there’s one thing we’ve learned over the course of the franchise, it’s that the characters are easily replaceable, especially the Transformers themselves. There have been countless bland and indistinguishable Transformers stuffed into each movie – but not all of them are so bad.
In fact, there are more than a few diamonds in the rough. Half a dozen, to be exact. Join me after the jump to meet the unsung heroes and villains of the Transformers movie verse!
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Are Total Bros!
New trailer! More Turtles! Hints of plot! The Shredder! Hot Leonardo action!
I’m not…I’m not sure how I feel about this trailer. This movie is either going to be awesome, and everything is going to work. Or it’s going to fall apart and be this weird, style-obsessed freakshow. The Turtles look cool…but they also look kind of weird. And the humor is…exactly the kind of humor we should probably expect from this movie!
I don’t know, alright! I don’t know!
What do you think?
