Leonardo is the Best Ninja Turtle
If you need any more proof that Leonardo was the best Ninja Turtle, look no further than these badass new movie posters. Leo’s katana blade looks righteous.
It’s a slow news day, and these babies popped up on the Interwebs as a helpful reminder that Leonardo is the best turtle. I even like his new look the best out of all of the Turtles in the new movie, which comes out on Aug. 8. Though I’m not sure what to make of Johnny Knoxville being brought in at the last minute to dub over his lines. Why Johnny Knoxville of all people?
You can see the rest of the posters after the jump!
Everything Wrong With Thor: The Dark World!
I love’em, you love’em, let’s check out Everything Wrong with Thor: The Dark World!
I hope this means we’ll be getting the EWW for Captain America: The Winter Soldier soon. Probably in time for the DVD release. This was another solid, silly entry. Though if I’m being completely honest, I think the guys at Cinema Sins have really started reaching with the past few episodes. I think success is going to their head, and they feel compelled to really stretch these things out and mock as much as they can, even when its not really mockable. That “Next time, let’s start with the big one” line was just a joke from Fandrell, not a legitimate suggestion in military tactics.
It took more than 10 minutes to cover more than 100 things they thought were wrong with Thor: The Dark World. When they started, there were only a few dozen things wrong with The Avengers, and they did that under three minutes.
They’re getting too big!
Robin Watch: A Challenger Appears
It would appear that a new contender for the position of Robin appeared in this week’s Detective Comics #30 – at least as far as Newarama is concerned. They’re usually pretty cool, so I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt and put Annette Aguila on my radar as a potential Robin candidate. Any development in DC’s search for the next Robin is worth noting in my returning column, Robin Watch!
(Though if I were more clever with puns, I probably should have called it ‘Bird Watching’.)
Batman isn’t going to be a solo act forever. A new Boy or Girl Wonder is on the way, and I’m dying to find out who it’s going to be. Could it be Annie Aguila? What does she have going for her?
According to Detective Comics #30, she might just be a motocross badass.
Favors yellow, green and red coloring, eh?
The creative team of Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato have jumped from their time on Flash to take over Detective Comics, and their first issue introduces Aguila and her mother Elena. Newsarama seems to think Annie Aguila might be a contender for Robin, considering how DC is hyping up the issue. She’s 18, seems pretty tough, and has some spectacular motorcycling skills. Her mother is also in a bit of danger by the end of the issue.
Manapul and Buccellato were a bit coy about her chances as Robin when Newarama asked them about her.
Could she be a contender? Maybe! Join me after the jump to examine some of the clues.
I Hope Bryan Cranston Gets to Punch Godzilla in the Face
At the very least, I know he could beat up Matthew Broderick. Enjoy a new Godzilla trailer!
I still don’t know what to make of this movie. It looks like it could be awesome. But it also looks like it could be…I dunno. Each trailer seems exactly the same. And I’m not entirely sure how Bryan Cranston is going to get involved in the fight against Godzilla, or how that will differ from Matthew Broderick’s attempts to understand and fell the beast.
But I’m eager to find out!
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/5/14
Busy week, my friends. Between seeing the new Captain America film, a dentist appointment and spending some time with my parents, I didn’t have time to get to all the comics I wanted. There are so many cool and interesting books coming out these days, but I had to cut my review list short, because The Winter Soldier wasn’t going to wait for any man! Neither were those fillings, ouch!
I decided to shake things up a little bit this week by paying a visit to Action Comics. I haven’t touched that series since about mid-way through Grant Morrison’s disappointing run – probably only disappointing to me. I know most people love that guy. But how poorly has Superman had it in the New 52? It’s depressing. But I think that writer Greg Pak is at least doing something fun with Action Comics.
A slew of Marvel’s new comics hit the stands this week, but I was only able to get to a few of them. The new Magneto is pretty good, but I really didn’t like the first issue of Inhuman. I’m afraid Marvel’s Next Big Thing is a bit of a dud from the get-go. But maybe you thought differently. What I do know is that Moon Knight won Comic Book of the Week almost on art alone!
He is…not quite the night
Comic Reviews: Action Comics #30, Aquaman and the Others #1, Inhuman #1, Magneto #2 and Moon Knight #2.
