Batman V Superman Spoiler Free Review

Well, I just saw Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and I was so adamant about checking it out tonight. But, once the movie started, I realized this could have waited until next week or the week after. I am not going to spoil it until Sunday during my podcast review. But, I will say this.... On a scale out from 1 to 10 this movie gets a 4.5... I did appreciate Gadot's efforts as Wonder Woman. But, there wasn't enough of her to make you even care if she was in the movie or not. The obligatory Wayne Murders' scene was corny. Lex Luthor was laughable, but not in a good way. I did enjoy Affleck’s portrayal of Batman. But, that’s about it. And Superman, although Cavil is perfectly cast, he just isn’t that interesting. I believe Lois (Amy Archer) carried the entire story. And the rest of the supporting cast were forgettable, even Lawrence Fishburne. The other future team member cameos were dumb and uninspired. And the choice for The Flash seeing his “debut” made him look more like a character from the Vampire Diaries. Which could and should have been Grant Gustin. Did I say the first 1 hour and 45 mins was a snooze fest and I think I actually fell asleep? This was dumb and far fetched even for a comic book movie. They really need to take a page out of Marvel’s play book because it doesn’t look like they know what the hell they are doing with their own properties. Anyway, look for my complete spoilery review on this Sunday’s podcast.

Batman and True Blood Catch Up Post

 

I have been talking about the Batman 75th Anniversary on my podcast for some time now.  DC Comics is going all out for The Dark Knight for his birthday.  The festivities will commence on July 23rd at your local comic book stores and Barnes & Noble during their Get Pop-Cultured in store event.  There will be a free comic book giveaway of Detective Comics #27 re-telling of the origin of Batman.  Also, preceding Batman 75 DC has released 13 on going series with variant covers by various artist.  Superman Wonder Woman 10 and Justice League 33 (not in stores yet) show below. 

 

Check out the podcast to find out all the information on Batman 75.

True Blood returned 4 weeks ago and I am still on the fence.  Now, I will finish the series since I am 6 years invested in it.  But, with the surprising deaths of Tara and Alcide before we even get to the middle of the season has left a sad taste in my mouth.  I mean there deaths were treated so insignificantly It makes you think they were B-list characters.  I for one think that Hep V Vampire storyline was used too much already and I wish it was already over.  But, you can check out the podcast below and hear my full review on True Blood so far! 

A Wonder Woman Has Been Found

Well there is a new Amazon Princess in town and she looks nothing like anyone expected.  Israeli actress and model Gal Gadot.  I had the same response.  I had not heard of her until the announcement earlier this week.  But, the powers have made their decision.  And fanboys everywhere are wondering if it's set in stone.  Check out the show and tell me what you think of the casting of Ms. Gadot as our new
 Wonder Woman

The Tomorrow People, Agents and Arrow

What a night of premieres.  All except one (3rd episode) Agents Of Shield is still riding the wave of popularity. The new show quirkiness is there, but that doesn't stop them for delivering solid geek filled episodes.  The underlying discussion about Agent Coulson's identity is still present.  This week the mystery behind him was given to us by one line from Agent May "And You Died".  

The show I have been really anticipating this season other than Agents of Shield is Arrow.  And tonight's season premiere gave us some season 1 closure, but also opened a few new can of worms.  I was left wanting more, but I was very entertained by the Stephen Amell led show.  And I finally got my Black Canary

 fix.  Right after Arrow the second Amell family member charged in with The Tomorrow People.  Robbie Amell younger fraternal cousin to Stephen is the lead in the U.S. version of an old British scifi classic.

Check out their interview below it's very cute.

Fanboy Weekly: I Wonder, Woman

Welcome back! We haven't had a Fanboy Friday (now weekly) post in awhile. But, this show is a good and informative one.  Listen in as we chat about the new Marvel Infinity comic book that just came out.  If you remember during Free Comic Book Day the Infinity prequel book was one of the giveaways.  But, now it's here in all it's glory.  The cover is awesome and the artwork is great.  You will also find an offer for a digital copy and a bonus copy. I'll tell you how during  the show!

Also, I give a small review about the animated movie Superman Unbound. It's a pretty good story and I felt like it was sequel to Batman/Superman Apocalypse.  I thought so it featured Supergirl and the elements from the first movie kind of led into this one. But, that is just my opinion.  I also loved the fact the Matt Bomer was voice lead for Superman/Clark.  I recently found out that he was married to his boyfriend.  If you remember Matt, he stars in the show White Collar and was one of the strippers in Magic Mike.

Finally, the main focus of this blog and he show. The Amazon Princess, daughter of Paradise Island:

WONDER WOMAN!!

We chat about why we cannot get a good live action feature for our favorite heroine. I think they should use the very well written animated movie for material. We have WW in so many animated movies and television cartoons, it's hard for me to believe that she can't get her own show.  I also asked the question: Who was the first actress to play Wonder Woman on TV? The answer Cathy Lee Crosby. Yes, she did! It was horrible and probably the worst version of our gal in red, white and blue. She had no powers, blonde hair and no lasso. It was the predecessor to the late 70's television series starring Linda Carter.

We all remember the failed NBC pilot for Wondy, where Adriana Palicki was suited up in the satin tights. Fanboys and girls were not having the new look.  After the pilot, NBC shut it down and once again WW was a dream.  Recently, TheCW played with the idea of a prequel called Amazon.  It was also shelved.  So what is it going to take? I think if we can wait long enough.  She should be introduced in the Superman/ Batman movie. And if the reception is good branch out on her own.  

This week's Throwback goes to Mr. Speed himself: Flash.

The Flash Television series was before it's time.  Check out John Wesley Ship's Flash and listen to the show for some information about our speedster. 

Fanboy Friday Makeover

Hey Guys!! Sorry Fanboy Friday has been gone. But, I have been a busy fan boy lately.  

I am so behind on my favorite shows and I am switching to a new format.  We now have a home on Spreaker.  I will still update the show on Blog Talk Radio, but no longer will be broadcasting live from there. You will also still be able to catch it on iTunes and Stitcher Radio and eventually iHeart Radio.  

This episode we are still working out some kinks.  But here the latest on True Blood.  Netflix has introduced a new "Mer-Man" original series and Xmen Days of Future Past has given us a whole lot of mutants to geek about with some newly released pictures.
