Superman's New Power

Recently in DC's Superman issue #38, the Man of Steel was given his first new power since 1949, the Super Flare! This power allows Superman to expel all the solar energy that his cells have soaked up in a huge blast. Unfortunately, this leaves him powerless for a day or two. This will probably be used to put Superman in situations where he has to use his brains in stead of his brawn because he wouldn't be able to beat the enemy into submission.

Batman V. Superman Update

An earlier post on this movie was a bunch of gibberish and speculation. This time I'll try to just use speculation.

WHAT WE KNOW:
Batman and Superman will fight!
Wonder Woman will be in this!
This movie will set up all later DC superhero movie- wait. What?

Marvel spent years leading up to the Avengers and giving all their characters solo films so we could get to know their characters. DC is just shoving a Justice League prequel down our throats and hoping that it will make us want to see the they're later movies. This is wrong. You don't build pyramids pointy side down, and you don't give us a superhero team-up movie before the solo films. DC says that Wonder Woman and Flash movies is in the oven, hopefully Batman, Green Lantern, Aquaman*, and Cyborg movies too, so why not give us those first, then Batman V. Superman, then Justice League. Also, how has a Shazam movie been confirmed before any of the ones mentioned in the previous sentence?! Anyway, what I'm saying is, I don't have high hopes for this film, but maybe I'm wrong. Batman V. Superman, no pressure.

*(Don't laugh, I explain his amazing-ness HERE)

Justice League: War

This animated movie is based on the New 52 Justice League Vol. 1. The movie follows the book perfectly except for one important point. Where the hell is Aquaman! He played a key part in the graphic novel and many other Justice League stories! Should you forget the more recent attack on the "earth-dwellers" by Atlantis, which Aquaman stopped. Also, if you are going to replace Aquaman with another hero, make it a better hero. Captain Marvel (Who they renamed "Shazam" so no Marvel mix-ups) does not count as a better hero. He is Superman, if Superman was an immature danger to those around him. And so I conclude, Justice League: War, is not worth the watch. I am sorry this came late.

Man of Steel 2? Batman vs. Superman? JUSTICE LEAGUE!?

You may have heard that the Man of Steel sequel will feature Batman, but did you know it may also feature Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Doomsday, Lex Luthor, the Flash, and Martian Manhunter? This supposed Batman vs. Superman movie is beginning to look more like the plot from the game Injustice: Gods Among Us!

On the topic of Doomsday and Lex Luthor, which will be the main villain? I doubt that they are trying to repeat Spider-Man 3 (I'll looking at you Amazing Spider-Man 2), so you would think there would be a MAIN villain. Maybe Lex creates Doomsday, maybe Lex is just a bystander, maybe they will cut out one of them, but I doubt they will BOTH be major villains. 

As for the heroes, if this does turn out to be the Justice League movie, it looks like it will be using the league from the animated series with Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Hawkgirl, as opposed to the New 52 league which replaces Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl with Cyborg and Aquaman. It may also be a mixture of the two. Or it could be Batman and Superman fighting, which, when you think about it, would be boring since there would be no villain.

Man of Steel Sequel: Superman/Batman Team-Up!

Warner Bros. recently announced at Comic Con that the Man of Steel Sequel will be featuring the Dark Knight himself! Now we already know that Christian Bale won't be playing Batman since he wants to see someone else play the part, but I bet you didn't know that Batman and Superman may actually fight in this movie, meaning we'll know the answer to the age old question: Who would win, Batman or Superman?

LEGO Man of Steel: Battle of Smallville Review

I recently got one of the new LEGO sets made for the Man of Steel movie. It is the Battle of Smallville. I reviewed it on YouTube and I wanted to tell you that I'm really happy about the fact that the Kryptonian ship in the set has room for two minfigures and their armor or weapons. Here is the video I posted:

For more information on these sets go to another post called 'New Man of Steel LEGO Sets' at http://newsoncomix.blogspot.com/2013/06/new-man-of-steel-lego-sets.html.

New Man of Steel LEGO Sets

Along with the Iron Man 3 sets, LEGO has made three new sets for the Man of Steel movie as well. These sets include Superman, General Zod, Faora-Ul,  Tor-An, Colonel Hardy, and Lois Lane mini figures. I just wish they had had a Jor-El mini figure too.

Man of Steel Review

An over all awesome movie, the Man of Steel had a great backstory to where Superman came from, powerful villains, and even some LexCorp trucks and Wayne Industries satellites being smashed! Though some think that the action scenes went a little too long, I think the extra excitement is what made the movie great!

Marvel vs. DC #2: Hulk vs. Superman Results

I asked 25 people who would win, and it was almost 50/50!
-Hulk 13
-Superman 12
One reason Hulk would win would be the fact that the more Superman hits him, the angrier and stronger he becomes!

Coolest Name Ever!

Seriously Awesome!



Marvel vs. DC #2: Hulk vs. Superman

Finally! This will basically tell whether DC would beat Marvel or visa versa! These are possibly the two strongest heroes in comics. One only gets stronger if you make him angry, and one has so many powers, you can't count them! Who would win! The current score is DC: 1, Marvel: 0, but can Marvel bring it to a tie? Lets find out tomorrow!

Movies of Summer 2013

I'm going to see Iron Man 3 on Free Comic Book Day which, strangely, is the day after it opens. The movie trailer gives you hints on what going to be in the movie. In the Iron Man 3 trailer you see extra Iron Men, Pepper Potts in the suit, and Norman Osborn in the Iron Patriot suit. Pretty crazy!

Later in the summer we'll all be seeing Man of Steel, which is said to be the stating point of the Justice League movie. This movie will feature general Zod (Yes!) and was based somewhat on the Earth One movie line. More about that later.

Don't forget the Wolverine that's coming out January 26. IMDb wouldn't give me anything useful about  the movie other than that Wolverine goes to Japan. As soon as I get more I'll post it.
