Another Comic-Con day and more Comic-Con news! And boy what a day. There are a fair amount of trailers to post so I'll try not to blather on too much.
Ben Affleck
Justice League: Come Together...But Not Right Now
Don’t hate me...but I disliked this trailer. Look, I am known for being a curmudgeon when it comes to the DCEU. I didn’t choose to not like these films or this universe. I just don’t. It doesn’t interest me, it doesn’t speak to me, it doesn’t leave me wanting more. This universe just leaves me wanting.
Ben Affleck Teases Justice League Villain
Batman himself tweeted out a short little video on what appears to be the set of the upcoming DC/WB film Justice League. In this brief clip we see a hanger and what looks to be they Flying Fox in the background (speculation of course) that was reported by set visitors a few months ago indicating that it is indeed (possibly) the JL set. Oh did I forget to mention that front and center of the clip is DEATHSTROKE! Check it out!

Review: Suicide Squad
“The Worst Heroes Get the Best Reviews: Suicide Squad”
Sometimes studios have the tendency to burn a franchise to the ground. At least for me, the DCEU has all but sizzled out of redeemable qualities. I have been burned-out by the darkest films to ever see red and blue tights, and burned by a director who let his vision sacrifice the meaning behind the characters I love. Because of this tone, the next installment of the DCEU has worried me for a while. Would it be too over the top? Would it have too much responsibility on it to ameliorate the franchise and correct the mistakes of it’s predecessors? Would it suffer from trying way too hard to be Guardians or Deadpool-esque? Sitting in the theatre, finally seeing Suicide Squad, it is relieving to be able to say that it’s becoming a bit easier to breath in the DC universe.

Review: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
There isn't a movie out there that I've been waiting to see more than Batman v Superman. To have not just Batman and Superman on the screen at the same time but introducing Wonder Woman to the live action movie universe made my Geek spirit soar! Waiting nearly three years to see the movie that was announced at SDCC was like being a kid waiting for Christmas morning to open all those lovely looking wrapped presents. Now, it's finally here! Was the wait worth all the speculating and the premature internet anger? Let's find out! WARNING: Spoilers ahead!

'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' Sneak Peak
During tonight's Fall finale of Fox's Gotham (I've loved season two so far), we were given an all new sneak peak at the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. I know the first instinct of most fans is to start comparing this to the new teaser we got last week for Captain America: Civil War. Let's calm down. Let's just enjoy what we got from both studios and have some fun talking about it, how's that?

Fortune Magazine Interviews Lex Luthor
Viral Marketing is nothing new. It's a very creative way to advertise a film, television show, book, whatever. I can recall getting wrapped up in the tangled puzzle that was the Cloverfield viral marketing leading up to it's mysterious premiere in theaters. Not much was known about the film, aside from it's release date shown in teasers before screenings of Transformers. When you would search for the release date, the game would begin and it was kind of fun to get involved in a way that made you feel like you were part of the story. I always thought it would've been a cool way to market Man of Steel, by having the videos that Zod transmitted to Earth when they first arrived to serve as mysterious promos for the upcoming film. Have a little fun with his invasion of Earth.

Marvel's Daredevil Casts Elektra!
With filming for season two of the monstrous Netflix hit Marvel's Daredevil beginning today, we were bound to get some set photos, or rumors to begin buzzing. We found out a few weeks ago that Punisher would be making his debut in the sophomore season, and now we know he's not alone. Word surfaces that Elektra Natchios has been cast and that Elodie Yung would portray the marital arts expert.

Official Synopsis For 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Trailer!
Zack Snyder announced a few days ago that the trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice would be released in select IMAX theaters on Monday. In less than 24 hours someone leaked some horrible quality footage of that trailer. Many sites reported on, giving details of what was in the trailer. I'm not sure if this is why Snyder would then release the trailer early...but who cares! Here it is in full HD quality!
Henry Cavill Filming On Location For 'Batman v Superman'
Thanks again to @FlashCWFans for the following on set photos from the filming of 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.' The photos show Henry Cavill as Clark Kent filming near some building. Nothing groundbreaking, but just some candid on set shots. Enjoy!

Batfleck On Location Photos
Thanks again to @FlashCWFans for sending us some photos from the 'Batman v Superman' filming on location in Detroit, Michigan. All of these photos are of Ben Affleck on location as Bruce Wayne. Not too much to get excited about but at least we get to see how he looks as the billionaire playboy.
Warner Bros Pictures Schedules DC Films Through 2020
Well, as impatient as we geeks are for this film, Warner Bros/DC has decided to not make us wait quite as long to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. They've moved the release date from May 6th, 2016 (in direct competition with Captain America 3) to March 25th, 2016. They've also announced their film release plans for the next several years.
First Look at Wonder Woman!
Well...DC/Warner Bros started off Day 3 of SDCC with a bang. They brought out Zack Snyder and he debuted a teaser trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, showing a rainy Gotham rooftop and Batman standing atop wearing a very Frank Miller-y armor suit. He pulls a tarp off of a Bat Signal that illuminates in the sky revealing a very angry Superman with red eyes. We also got a great glimpse at Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and I have to say...my doubts have receded a bit. Take a look.
