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.

Top 5 Female Characters (DC)

5. Huntress
Affiliation: Hero
If you're evil, she'll kill you. Sounds pretty simple to me.

4. Catwoman
Affiliation: Thief
She stole from Batman more than once. That earns her a place on the list.

3. Black Canary
Affiliation: Hero
She seems nice... if you're deaf.

2. Power Girl
Affiliation: Hero
 The Supergirl from another dimension. Except instead of a symbol she has a hole in her costume which I swear they writers/artist did on propose.

1. Wonder Woman
Affiliation: Hero
She's dated Batman, Superman, and Colonel Trevor. She has super powers. She has an invisible jet. She is an Amazonian princess. What bout the last four?

Best Mom in Comics: Mother's Day Special

I think that the best mom in comics would have to be Queen Hippolyta, mother of Wonder Woman. If she taught Wonder Woman how to fight and be a hero, she has to be!

Mythology in Comics

Have you ever noticed that DC and Marvel both incorporate one type of mythology into their comics? I mean, Marvel has Thor who's a Norse god, and DC has Wonder Woman and the Amazons who are part of Greek mythology. They even have all the gods that are part of that mythology as characters! Odin, Loki, Zues, Ares! I know Marvel has Hercules who is Greek, but they don't have any Greek gods. Do you think they can copywrite a civilization's mythology?
I think there was even a Princess Diana in Greek mythology!
