Trailers This Week are Coming Hard and Fast, Two Things that Describe Superman
We’ve already had new movie trailers this week for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Star Trek Into Darkness, so how about a new Man of Steel trailer! Looks pretty neat!
I love prestigious trailers like this. I love the mood music, I love the ambiance. I love the depth and breadth they’re giving Superman. I’m definitely loving everything we’ve seen for Man of Steel so far, and I’m very excited for this movie. The snippets of action we saw looked pretty cool, though I’m not convinced this Zod is going to make a great villain. He seems kind of generically evil. Plus, on a personal level, I’ve just never cared all that much when Superman has to deal with some evil leftover from Krypton. I’m far more interested in everything Superman himself.
New Star Trek Trailer is the Best One Yet!
There’s a new Star Trek Into Darkness trailer and it’s pretty darn spiffy.
I don’t know what else there is to do now but just eagerly wait for the movie’s release. I don’t know when it is off the top of my head, and I’m momentarily too lazy to Google it at this exact moment. So, um…sometime this summer? I dunno. Maybe it says at the end of the trailer. That should be good enough for our needs.
New Hunger Games Sequel Trailer!
I liked The Hunger Games movie last year, and I’m legitimately excited for the sequel in November.
I’ve never read the books, but the first movie was pretty darn cool. And I especially loved the sense of civil unrest, and the idea that this is all probably leading towards Katniss as a symbolic figure in a revolution. If you know, don’t spoil it for me. But I imagine the series going in that direction, and that sounds freakin’ awesome. So this is a pretty great trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
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.
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?
