New “Batman v Superman” Photos and Art
A new photo has emerged online showing Ben Affleck in the new Batman suit from “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” We get a really good detailed look of him as the Dark Knight.

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.
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.
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.
Welcome to Trailer Thursday! There are some new high profile trailers appearing (and disappearing) online today. I will begin posting them here – starting with the full trailer from “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Some scallywag recorded this thing in a theater. And for the record, I do not recommend this sort of thing. It’s wrong! But the scallywag in me just had to show it.
Jared Leto was missing from the “Suicide Squad” cast photo the other week, but now comes a stand-alone with him seemingly in Joker makeup. The photo is taken in a way that is to remind us of Alan Moore’s cover for his 1988 Batman Comic “The Killing Joke.” That’s the comic that finally gave the Joker an origin story and paralyzed Barbara Gordon (Batgirl). And – SPOILER (but hey, it’s 27 years old so come on now) – it’s the one where Batman may or may not have killed The Joker at the end (which I guess is still in debate).
“Suicide Squad” is a DC property about a group of Super Villains recruited by a government agency to go secret missions that could most likely result in their deaths (hence, the name Suicide Squad). Why do they do it? Well, it’s better than being locked up for the rest of your life. And they get some time knock off their prison sentences if they survive.
It’s common news now that the new Batman “Arkham Knight” video game has been pushed back a few weeks to a new June 23rd release date. And to keep fans interested (as if they really needed to) the folks at Rocksteady has released some new gameplay footage from the PS4 version. And the most exciting part in this concluding chapter in the “Arkham” trilogy (if you don’t include “Origins”) is the addition of the Batmobile.
