Avengers: Age of Ultron Teaser
The Twins are clearly in that protest since they’re still brainwashed by Baron Von Strucker at-this-point. Probably unknowingly taking part in his plan to turn public opinion against Earth’s Mightest Heroes especially Hydra comprised some US government parties. It appears Quicksilver’s hair turns white the more he uses his speed after their horrific experimentation different from Bucky’s brainwashing. Still interested to what Aaron Taylor-Johnson brings to this Pietro. Wanda (Scarlet Witch) and her brother might mistake Great Devil their liberator before realizing his true intentions. Stand by his bulking-look.
Andy Serkis is clearly playing Ulysses Klaw to setup Black Panther starring Chadwick Boseman (42) set for release in November 3rd (two years-from-now) during Marvel Media Day’s recent announcements for Phase Three. Knew this was how Steve Rogers gets his shield put back together again since Wakanda being Vibranium Central. They’ve got to enknowledge material to make SSR’s protection prototype was given to President Roosevelt by King T’Chaka alias Panther before his son, T’Challa picks up the mantle. A WWII flashback to some incident that took place during Steve’s one year monkey-dance by way of USO’s propagada tool gotta be integral to the plot. Puzzled to what’s going-on with Thor rising out-of-the-water. I’ll go see Ragnarok: The End of Norse “Gods” (July 28th, ’17) for Surtur despite the sequel being meh.
Going up against Thanos in Infinity War (not Infinity Gaunlet) in two-parters (May 4th, ’18 and ’19) with this epic cosmic-story actually justified (unlike Hunger Games’ final film). Tony has alot to answer for his self-obsessions (not to mention narcissism) going way-out-of-control. Unfornately drags everyone else into Civil War for Cap’s third outing (May 6th ’16). Hated with how that mini-series of the same name ended then concluded in-retrospect but I trust The Russos.

First Look at Daredevil
Wasn’t able to attend New York Comic Con this year due to tickets selling out fast and late event information. Marvel released two official stills of Charlie Cox (Stardust) as Hell’s Kitchen’s blind-lawyer, Matt Murdock aswell-as his alter-ego which coincided with their panel.
Rex Smith’s outfit from the nostalgic-yet campy Trial of The Incredible Hulk TV movie instantly came to mind despite them calling it “a work in progress” based on John Romita Jr. along with Frank Miller’s mini-series, Man Without Fear. He’ll wear the classic red-horned uniform we know-and-love by the end of the series without a doubt.
Glad Stick (Scott Glen) will be featured since he’s the one who trained Matt not by himself. Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson hopefully can supply some decent humor in this otherwise dark show. Ayelet Zurer now has two supporting characters from the two big companies (Lara in Man of Steel) under her belt.

Seth MacFarlane’s Bigotry
After his Oscar disaster and now this, just reinforces why I don’t watch either of these shows anymore.
I enjoyed Family Guy for a couple of years with funny bits like Peter Griffin’s injured knee, falling out the airplane, getting sucked into space, Phil LaMarr as Action News’ Ollie Williams, Adam West, Red Bull hyperactivity, almost every Chicken fight, and the Star Wars parody trilogy: Blue Harvest, Something, Something, Something, Darkside (had it’s moments), and It’s A Trap.
Mayor West along with Quimby walking out-of-court together was kinda humorous mainly because there wasn’t animosity between both corrupted officials but that’s not saying much. Understood Yeardley Smith’s Lisa for ounce being jealous towards Meg (Mila Kunis) stealing her thunder (her saxophone) with her convenient hidden talent.
This “crossover” airing on Seth’s show means he’s in-control to showcase his ego by having Peter made to look like the underdog defending Patriot Ale from Springfield’s (rightfully-so) prosecution for being a Duff-ripoff (like Seth’s show). All-is-forgiven despite the fact Peter made damaging sexist remarks in Quahog’s newspaper comic strips which got The Griffins kicked out in the first place during that insufferable beginning.
MacFarlane’s utter-contempt for Matt Groening’s twenty-three Emmy Award winning series especially during the dragged-out fight climax with Peter saying:
Hey, that’s no fair. I don’t got none of them.
put me off then already was while watching this giant POS.
Nancy Cartwright’s Bart addressing how messed-up Stewie actually is when finding out he kidnap/tortured Nelson only goes to prove how mean-sprited aforementioned program has become. Brian never has to own-up his mistake for losing Santa’s Little Helper (with insults prior) since it returns last-minute. Marge (Julie Kavner) in-addition Lois (Alex Borstein) were non-existed.
References reminiscent-of Homer jumped the gorge only reminds me how Matt’s creation used to be funny before it became over-rouching. Knew halfway through Peter would be victorious (again, this is Seth’s show).

Sleepy Hollow: Season 1 Recap
I wasn’t too keen on Fix producing an adaptation of my childhood Halloween story written by Washington Iriving (Rip Van Winkle) ever since first exposure to Disney’s iteration, scarcely hearing Glen Close’s narration, and Tim Burton’s version included. But what Alex Kurtsman along with Roberto Orci (Star Trek) including Len Wiseman (Underworld) came up with an incarnation that fills-the-void since Supernatural has outlived it’s existence.
After Ichabod Crane is killed-in-action during The Revolutionary War by The Headless Horsemen then being decapitated by him as opposed to cannonball, Crane is resurrected in modern-time Mount Pleasant by-means-of Katrina Van Tessel (Katia Winter) who’s married to the Schoolmaster similar-in-that they’re both defectors of their organizations (witch-cult and Great Britian) to stop The Apocalypse brought on through a demon called Moloch. Tom Mison (One Day) said in an interview that he enjoys playing the character which definitely shows on-screen.
Braun Bones (Abraham) revealed in “Necromancer” (episode eight) to-be The Horsemen wasn’t susprising but not in a bad way. They were kinda entwined subsquently dressed-up to spirited-away Ichabod as a practical joke (which was motivation for DC’s Scarecrow) that Katrina was in-on aswell in previous materials.
Clancy Brown‘s shortlived Sheriff August Corbin uncovered it which is later picked up by his partner, Abbie Mills (Nicole Beherie) then later brought-in Captain Frank Irving played by Orlando Jones aka Clifford Franklin in addition Jenny (Abbie’s estranged sister). He’ll probably write the exploits called “The Cases” rather then “Legend” if the show either gets canelled (like Almost Human which derailed) or when it ends.
Didn’t see that twist with John Noble’s Sin Eater character (episode six) was Crane and former Van Tessel’s abandoned son, Jeremy (episode ten, “The Golem”) aka War (season finale, “Bad Blood”) coming. He’s better at playing villians like Denethor in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King…especially voicing Brainiac from Superman: Unbound.

Flash: Rogues Revolution
I decided to make an acception with this other 52 title since Geoff Johns’ Aquaman run ended last year aswell-as before the upcoming CW series airs next week since their going to be using the super-powered versions of The Scarlet Speedster’s adversaries.
Iron Heights’ inmates have an honor-among-thieves aspect that most villians in the DC Universe don’t have when they join forces because they’ll always backstab each other to keep whatever goal or objective is all-for themselves. They all want the same thing which is money. A classic motivation after “they’re just psychotic” (Dork Knight’s rogues) overexposure cause it’s trendy.
Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold views them as a crime family where-as Lisa alias Glider (Cold’s sister) uses it as a-means-to-an-end to carry out revenge (in this version) their maker, Darwin Elias. Don’t mind Mark Martin/Weather Wizard being changed to an Latino drug dealer named Marco Mardon. I’ve always thought he’d have a god-complex since he having abilities to control the elements. Henry Allen encouraging his son to move on after being imprisoned for his wife’s murder makes me really look forward to scenes between Grant Gustin and John Wesley Shipp.
However, Barry faking his death while living in Central City’s ghetto with all-expenses paided by BatGod is the most idiotic thing ever. They have a right to know when it comes to Secret Identites with your loved ones. Patty Spivot (his new love-interest) being selfish by going behind your boss’ back to investigate Marco’s cartel in order to deal with your personal pain while having a bad attitude when your employer shows concern for her well-being doesn’t make you endearing. Still don’t like how Barry’s uniform forms over his body like post-its rather then electrical energy within the Speed Force which is better then coming out of a ring.
Gorilla Grodd, who rules Gorilla City while his fellow primates (no appearence of Solovar) prophesied Crimson Comet’s coming ala Chosen One cliché. Miss the days where a hero’s origin was just accidental not predestined (Amazing Spider-Man 2). Don’t think I’ll continue reading with Gorilla Warfare especially since Grodd invading Central cuts-off the confrontation seen on front cover.

Teen Titans Series is Go
I’m looking forward to Flash despite The CW’s baggage for insufferable melodrama, pointless shippers, annoying teen-angst, and padding to drag the show out longer which has happened to Supernatural. However, other DC shows on different networks have me interested like NBC’s Constantine.
Deadline says WB and TNT are bringing Titans back to the small-screen (Titans Go!…why?) in live-action to add the upcoming line-up.
Written by Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman and executive-turned-scribe Marc Haimes,Titans revolves around the eponymous group of young Super Heroes-to-be from the DC Universe. The action series centers on Dick Grayson (probably best known for his alter ego as Robin), who emerges from the shadow of Batman to become Nightwing, the leader of a fearless band of new Super Heroes including Starfire, Raven and many others. Goldsman executive produces, with Haimes serving as co-executive producer for WBTV’s cable division Warner Horizon.
Grayson’s character-arc is probably going to learn teamwork’s importance rather then being an obssessive-loner that was instill-in-him-at early-age much like in the source material and 2003-06 animated series. Obiviously laying the groundwork for Richard/Koriand’r’s romance along with Rachel Roth’s anti-christ storyline with her demonic father, Trigon bringing-about the-end-of-the-world. I’ll be happy as long the Warrior-Princess isn’t sexualized-in-the-wrong-way since Tamaranians have gender-liberated beliefs.
Beast Boy (or Changling originally) could possibly join that group since TPTB picked three heroes from Marv Wolfman’s successful New Titans run so far. But characters like Cyborg, Wonder Girl, Aqualad, Speedy in addition Deathstroke being featured on Arrow, or even Wally West aka Kid Flash I (52 version) probably appearing in a second season of the aforementioned-series above cause-of that idiotic embargo. It shouldn’t turn into Junior JLA similar-to what Wolfman actively avoided.

The Rock is Black Adam
After months of teasing about what DC character he could be playing on-screen, the former WWE wrestler tweeted this on his Twitter account:
Kneel at his feet or get crushed by his boot. My honor to become.. #BlackAdam #TheAntiHero #DCComics pic.twitter.com/Qk55eNf3R7
— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) September 3, 2014
I still stand by my statements seven years ago about the California-native portraying arch-nemesis to Captain Marvel. It’s very hard looking past his public-persona like Affleck. I’ve thought Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy) would’ve been a good pick since he voiced Teth-Adam.
This just screams desperation at-this-point especially after Hercules bombed. At least it’s not on-level with Nick Cage’s choices. Adam’s family both ended in-tragedy while serving Phararoh Ramses II in ancient Egypt or married to Adrianna Tomaz aka Isis while ruling the middle-eastern country, Kahndaq. Dwayne doesn’t have acting range. Can’t see him pulling a Dave Bautista turn-around.
New Line Cinema (owned by Warner Brothers) president, Toby Emmerich told Entertainment Weekly:
It’s a DC comic, but it’s not a Justice League character, and it’s not a Marvel comic. The tone and the feeling of the movie will be different from the other range of comic book movies.
Earth’s Mightest Mortal had been JLA member from-time-to-time. It’d be a crime he wasn’t mentioned or show up.
Will have a sense of fun and a sense of humor. But the stakes have to be real.
Glad light-hearted heroes are making resurgency in-media (Flash) after dark-and-gritty overexposure. Sounds like Emmerich understands it can’t be slapstick it was going to be when Peter Segal (Anger Management) was attached to the project.

Gray Ghost Short Film
THE GRAY GHOST : The Lost Reel from Jake Topkis on Vimeo.
Susprised someone did a small movie based on my favorite episode from Batman: The Animated Series. Aside from obvious filters underneath the googles at the end, it’s pretty freakin’ sweet.
Quite a good character-introduction by having young Bruce Wayne fantasize his childhood hero stopping his parents murderer, Joe Chill was similar to his vision featured in “The Man Who Has Everything”. The theme composed by Carl Swander Johnson fuels my interest in pulp-heroes like The Rocketeer, Shadow, and Phantom everytime. Very nice Bruce’s high-society friend, Veronica Vreeland being the Femme Fatale (in Film-Noir sense).
Wish we can get a web-series of-some-kind like the excellent Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist. Simon Trent specifically paralleled Adam West’s career during the 60’s show being typecast. Having rewatched said-part months ago when I bought a getup (I’m into Cosplay) made me appreciate him as an actor. Especially in comedy portraying Mayor of Quahog:
I’m currently writing about obscure DC character, Bobo the Detective Chimp fan film (as advertised) set in the post-apocalyptic world of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes which was way better then Rise.
