Walt

Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you Aquaman! Director Zack Snyder has delivered a late night treat on twitter, revealing Jason Momoa’s Aquaman from the upcoming “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Seeing as how Aquaman is the king of the seven seas, the title over the image — “Unite The Seven” — seems rather fitting, but is that all it means?

Brandon Routh as the Atom

Walt

When Arrow announced that Brandon Routh would be appearing as Dr. Ray Palmer on the show’s third season, fans knew the announcement was huge. Or rather small. Very, very small. That’s because Ray Palmer is the civilian identity of the Atom in the DC Universe, and over the show’s first eleven Season 3 episodes, we’ve seen Palmer inch ever closer to the discovery that will turn him into the microscopic hero. Well, he’s just taken another step. Today, The CW released the first look image of Ray Palmer in his…

Amazing Spider-Man 14 Review

Media Release

As a whole, Spider-verse may be Marvel’s best attempt at an event comic in years. The core premise and conflict engrossing. the way it celebrates Spider-Man’s long, colorful history is delightful. Even the tie-ins tend to be well-crafted and very relevant to the core storyline. That said, there have been flaws with the approach to Spider-verse, and those flaws threaten to derail the whole experience in this final issue. Amazing Spider-Man #14 is almost entirely consumed by the final battle between the surviving Spiders and the Inheritors. Everyone’s path finally…

Travis

“Daredevil” is the first of five upcoming Marvel Studios series coming to netflix.com. I have always been a Daredevil comic fan and not so much a fan of the 2003 Daredevil theatrical release.   I never blamed Ben Affleck for ruining Daredevil I have always blamed 20th Century Fox and their need to meddle, which was discussed by Mark Steven Johnson on the Daredevil Directors Cut and in my humble opinion a far superior film. Anyway back to the trailer I love what this trailer shows.  I love the costume which appears…

Check Out the Fantastic 4 Teaser Trailer

Travis

I am having a hard time hating this movie, that being said the trailer reminds me of the storyline of the Ultimate Fantastic 4 storyline, which is a great story and a great retelling of the fantastic 4 origin. I am huge Fantastic 4 and a Marvel studios fan since Iron Man, which I still believe is the perfect superhero movie and I am a consistent 20th Century Fox detractor. Why a Fox detractor? They, like Sony, do not get that film making is art and not cookie cutter crap…
