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!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/23/16
Hooray for Comic-Con! I’m sure there’s quite the party going down in San Diego. I haven’t been following the news too closely, but all manner of comic book stories, super duper movies and a bunch of trailers have been released so far. But none of that excuses us from reading new comics this week!
In honor of all the convention news, I read a whole buncha comics this week. I even went beyond Marvel and DC! We’ve got the new ongoing Faith series from Valiant, Power Rangers from BOOM! and Patsy Walker from Marvel! Sorry, that one always deserves a mention.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Astonishing Ant-Man #10! It was a tough call between Ant-Man and Patsy Walker, but I picked fun action adventure over heartfelt emotional drama. That’s not usually my style, but sometimes Ant-Man deserves a win.
They look properly scared
Though Patsy Walker was really good, too. Curses! Now I’m starting to rethink everything!
Comic Reviews: All-New Wolverine #10, Astonishing Ant-Man #10, Batman #3, Faith #1, Justice League #1, Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers #5, Patsy Walker a.k.a. Hellcat #8, and Spider-Man #9.
New Justice League Cartoon Looks Pretty Neat
There’s going to be a new Justice League cartoon, and I’m always on board for new and exciting cartoons. I’m not a kid anymore, sure, but so what? I like cartoons. You wanna fight about it?
Anyway, it looks funny, and the animation is really cool.
No sign of Robin, though, which is what we’re all concerned about.
