SDCC 2017 / Day 3 Wrap-Up

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.

Thoughts On Wonder Woman And The Impact It Had On Me

No, this is not a review. I don’t know what it is, honestly. I just can’t get the movie out of my head and I need to write about it. I have been apprehensive about Wonder Woman for many reasons. My disappointment in the previous films just...as films. The lack of consideration put into the characters of Superman and Batman (the flagship DC heroes). Not to mention the bleak world these characters have inhabited. The films have been placed in the wrong hands. And I mean hands plural because there are so many of them trying to shape these films and all with different ideas/agendas that clash far too often. So I feel justified in admitting my trepidation.

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.

The Lady-Hero is Here To Stay

When it was announced that Star Wars: The Force Awakens would feature a predominant female lead, there was a huge outcry of upset fans claiming this was merely pandering to the feminazi’s of the world. What followed was unprecedented success for the character of Rey, and a slew of new films featuring female superheroes, role models, scientists, and even fish. Similar hatred was spewed when the Ghostbusters reboot and Rogue One were announced, but the people have spoken. The top 2 grossing films of 2016 (Finding DoryRogue One)* were centered on stories of girls; their struggles, their coming of age, and their realization of the power of their voices. Regardless of any opinion to the contrary, the female hero is here to stay, and let me just say, it’s about damn time.

New 'Wonder Woman' Trailer & Posters!

It's been a rough year for the DC Extended Universe. Batman v Superman disappointed so many fans. Suicide Squad, while making a lot of money at the box office, has been destroyed by critics. More recently, director Rick Famuyiwa has left The Flash only six months away from starting production. The only glimmer of hope on the horizon is what we've seen from Wonder Woman so far, and what we've seen has made many fans very excited. Today, we got to see even more! Check out the latest trailer:

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!

Reasons To Fly Gotham City and Metropolis

The Super Bowl spots are flying left and right. Before the game, however, Turkish Airlines aired two separate ads advertising that they fly to both Gotham City and Metropolis, giving you ample reasons why you should visit these cities. Check them out below!

First Look At 'Wonder Woman' Footage!

Tuesday night gave us a great new look at Suicide Squad with an incredible trailer. But before that, during The CW's event called DC Films Presents: Dawn of the Justice League we got a few clips from the upcoming Wonder Woman film.

'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' Trailer!

Hot on the heels of the release of a sneak peak teaser for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice which debuted during Monday's Fall Finale of Gotham, we were promised a new trailer during Jimmy Kimmel Live.

BvS Sneak Peak!

'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?

'Batman v Superman' Concept Art Emerges!

During SDCC we got up and close and personal with the costumes for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It seems to be the same case for NYCC as well, but we also got a glimpse at some pretty sweet concept art from costume designer Michael Wilkinson!

Lex Interview

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.

Batman v Superman Photos!

Thanks to EW.com, we've got some new photos from the upcoming mega movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The pictures show the trinity of heroes (Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman) as well as a good look at Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. Take a look!

Official Synopsis For 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'

After months upon months of speculation, Warner Bros has finally released the official synopsis for the upcoming mega movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice:

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice IMAX Trailer Event!

Last week, before the trailer emerged online in a cellphone footage, pirated fashion, we were told by Zack Snyder himself that there would be a huge preview event to see the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer before it hit the internet in grand IMAX fashion.

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!

Director Leaves WW

Director Leaves Wonder Woman

There was great excitement when DC Comics and Warner Bros. announced that Michelle MacLaren (Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones) would be directing the first official live action Wonder Woman film starring Gal Gadot and Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is to be DC's first female led film and is a very important film in the DC Universe. Unfortunately, however, they will have to find a new director for the film. MacLaren has left the film, according to a statement from the studio.
