Long Beach Comic Expo was this past weekend (Feb. 16th & 17th). I only went on Saturday and it was a fun time, but a very quick kind of convention.

The Flash Season Two Casting News!
In the closing hours of Day Three of SDCC, Warner Bros and DC Entertainment took over Hall H. We were promised panels from the staff and cast of The Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, and Gotham. Not much was expected in the way of new footage as Arrow is about to begin production on Season 4 (Stephen Amell just wrapped his role as Casey Jones in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel) and The Flash is only a week into production on Season 2. But we did get some exciting news about casting! We learned that Patty Spivot will join the show played by Shantel VanSanten and after being teased in the finale of The Flash, Jay Garrick debuts played by Teddy Sears!
Rocksteady Cast For Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2!
With filming underway on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel, we've gotten news that both Bebop and now Rocksteady have been cast. Playing Bebop is Gary Anthony Williams and today we learned that Rocksteady will be played by WWE Superstar Sheamus.
First Look: Stephen Amell as Casey Jones!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Casts Tyler Perry
With production set to begin on the sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, news is coming almost daily about casting and potential plot lines. We found out a few weeks ago that Casey Jones had been cast for the film, and that Bebop and Rocksteady would be in the film as well. Today we find out that Tyler Perry will bring a key character to life in Baxter Stockman. In the comics and animated series, Stockman is an African American scientist who is responsible for creating, among other things, the turtle-hunting Mousers.
Bebop & Rocksteady Confirmed!
A few weeks ago we reported that Stephen Amell had been cast as Casey Jones in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel. Now we learn that Paramount has finally confirmed that two fan favorite villains, Bebop and Rocksteady, will also appear in the film. The two were created for the animated 90's series, and were later added into the comic book as well. More recently they (SPOILER ALERT) were involved in a storyline in the comics in which they killed Donatello to prove their worth to Shredder. Now the question is...does this mean that Krang is on the way?
Casey Jones Cast For Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2
In probably the coolest and best news of the day, Variety is reporting that Arrow's own, Stephen Amell has landed the role of Casey Jones for the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 film.
Pop Gospel: 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'
First, let me say that this is an article about the Turtles not the newest movie. I did enjoy the movie and it was good to see them back on the big screen but this article is more about the Turtles as characters not any specific movie, book, or show. I will probably even do more than one TMNT based article going forward. I have loved the turtles since...forever I think. Their adventures and battles against Shredder were always great to watch. Two things always stood out to me; how the brothers needed each other, whether they admitted it or not and their incredible confidence in who they were as individuals in a team. They had their fights, like all siblings, but in the end they came together to save the day. There was one thing that held them together, their father Splinter. I always loved Splinter, not just because he was wise or he could kick butt, but because his faith in his children never wavered. Splinter raised Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo to believe in themselves and each other. He helped them find their identity and how they each fit into the group. Leonardo was a natural leader, Raphael was bold and strong, Donatello was incredibly intelligent, and Mikey loved life and was the one who kept everybody loose. Imagine what this team would look like if Splinter was not around. There would be no team or maybe there would be but it would not be the "save the day" team we know. They would be a mess.
Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Spoilers)
Much like many reading this right now, I was a huge Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. For me, it started with the animated series. I didn't discover the comic book until I entered High School, which was much later. I had all the toys, I saw all the movies, I watched all the cartoons. I was a geek for the turtles. I'd spend time in class drawing the turtles, and to this day, I can still the draw them the exact same way I did back in fifth grade...which is to say, not very well. I enjoyed the films, and the Turtles will always hold a place in my heart. I was skeptical, to say the least, for this new version of my favorite heroes in the half shell. It didn't help matters when I discovered Michael Bay was involved.

New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trailer
A lot has already been said about the new Ninja Turtles movie that's set for release on August 8th. A lot of people hate the way the turtles look for this Michael Bay film, personally I'm not a fan but trying to remain optimistic. In this latest trailer, we get a bigger glimpse into the storyline and plot for the film, and it does give me some hope that it will be more entertaining than Transformers was.
