On June 23rd, the concluding chapter of the “Batman Arkham” saga entitled “Batman: Arkham Knight” is released upon us. That is, if they don’t push it back once again. I welcome the delays if it means we’ll get a game as kickass as this latest trailer demonstrates.
Written and directed by Seth MacFarlane, “Ted 2” is a sequel to his 2012 hit of the same name (minus the 2).
This time around, Ted (voiced by MacFarlane) and his new wife Tami-Lynn are in the market for a baby (Ted, of course, can’t reproduce) so he and his best friend John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) need to go to court to prove that, although Ted is a teddy bear, he should have all the same rights as a person.
So I watch this show “Gotham” on Fox. You know, the show about Batman, but without Batman. Well, he’s there, but he’s a kid still. He’s at least fifteen to twenty years away from donning the cowl. In truth, the show is about Gotham City before The Batman arrives. So instead we follow the exploits of Detective James Gordon before he becomes Commissioner. And to tell you the truth, I really like the show. It sucked me in. But I’m getting off track as to what this post is about.
“Electra Woman and Dyna Girl” was a female superhero program that was part of the Krofft Supershow back in the ‘70’s. It starred Diedra Hall as Electra Woman and Judy Strangis as her faithful sidekick Dyna Girl. When not fighting crime, they were known as Lori and Judy, magazine reporters. Essentially, the show was a take on the ‘60’s TV version of “Batman.”
A few months back Entertainment Weekly printed an article displaying images from the first “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” trailer which were made to look like old-timey “Star Wars” Topps trading cards from years back.
Well Happy Birthday, Mr. J. The joker has just turned 75. His first appearance came in the spring of 1940 in Issue #1 of Batman.
To celebrate this momentous birthday, director David Ayer has tweeted the first official photo of Jared Leto in full makeup as the Clown Prince of Crime from his upcoming feature film “The Suicide Squad.” That film combines a whole bunch of villains to apparently do some good in order to knock some time off their sentences.
Some video has surfaced recently that gives us a closer look at some of the costumes used in the upcoming “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” flick. We also get a good look at the new Batmobile thanks to Los Angeles Clippers’ DeAndrea Jordan.
A supposed bootleg video has been making the internet rounds this week that shows the end tag from “Avengers: Age of Ulton.” In it, we get our first appearance of Spider-man in the MCU. It’s actually pretty funny.
As much as I am looking forward to the “Batman v Superman” movie (why can’t they just say ‘vs’?), I am almost looking forward to Disney’s “Tomorrowland” just as much. The trailers look great and it is being directed by Brad Bird (“The Incredibles”), which means that it has a really good chance of being awesome.
It’s been the week for trailers. Lots of big budget film trailers all at once. It kind of feels like the studios are trying to one-up each other. And with this latest release comes the trailer for director Josh Trank’s “Fantastic Four.”
