Nicole Kidman has stood alongside two major DC superheroes: Aquaman and Batman. In the upcoming Aquaman movie, she plays Queen Atlanna and in Batman Forever she portrayed Dr. Chase Meridian. When asked who she has a preference to, Kidman cheekily answered: https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1073056014159605760 “Well, you have to be with the one you’re with now.” Kidman explained. “So I have to say Aquaman, right? I can’t be talking about an ex!” From our very own Cainan’s review, Nicole Kidman clearly has an awesome role in the upcoming movie, one that director James wan commented on: “Nicole and I have been wanting to…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”11606″ img_size=”900×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Long live the king! The upcoming Aquaman movie is already making a “splash” (yes, the joke had to be made) with new pre-sales tickets setting a new record that tops Deadpool 2, Avengers: Infinity War, and Black Panther. The Atom Ticket’s record is largely due to the exclusive offer to Amazon Prime Members, which allows fans to see the film early on December 15th. So far, the DC movie has earned $94 million worldwide. Needless to say, this film, led by Jason Momoa is sure to break records and is expected to make $65 million during its…

One of the most well-known scenes in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight was when Heath Ledger’s Joker made his entrance to a room full of gangsters who had no idea they were messing with the wrong man in warpaint. It’s a scene that still makes me need to look away, when the Joker decides to make a pencil “disappear” aka in someone’s eyeball. In an oral history provided via Vulture, the origins of this trick were further explained: “I think even [director] Chris [Nolan] assumed we were going to have to do…

I could comment on how I feel that Netflix has not done right by us by not making a blanket statement or even by waiting for The Punisher season two and Jessica Jones season three to come out before “canceling” them. There’s so much to say about everything that is going on between Marvel, Netflix, and Disney; how we’re the children getting caught in between the crosshairs of the parental’s dispute. Who knew…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/Pks_6st8bg8″ align=”center”][vc_column_text]As disheartening as the recent cancellations of Netflix’s Marvel shows are, nothing will stop me from being excited about The Punisher season two. And now, I’m even more excited, because according to Netflix’s 2019 schedule, Frank Castle’s second season will be hitting the streaming site in January. While there has been no official release date, The Punisher has previously kept their promotions very secretive – currently only posting a teaser photo here and there with the caption “Tick. Tock.” As opposed to walking into Daredevil season three, we can all be pretty sure that Netflix will decide to…

In a recent interview, he stated the desire to do what was done in Logan and set a different tone for the X-Men: “I see it as a new chapter. I see it as taking the franchise in a different direction tonally. And that doesn’t mean that the next one will have the same…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”11739″ img_size=”400×600″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Batman is a bit like a Sherlock Holmes of superheroes, isn’t he? From Batman the Animated Series, to so many comic book issues, some of the best Dark Knight tales are when the vigilante solves mysteries/crimes. In Detective Comics #994, we see Batman in a familiar place, discussing a new case with Commissioner Gordon. The only difference with this one as opposed to others, is that the victims of a double homicide are identical matches to Bruce Wayne’s late parents. Pete Tomasi and artist Dough Mahnke bring us this latest installment that reminds me of class Batman.…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”11727″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]For fans of a truly dark and haunting comic, look no further than Batman Damned #2. Opening up to the story is a panel symbolizing pain and foreshadowing the theme of the story to follow. There is nothing pretty about this comic, which is from Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo; but it is beautiful. With grim hues and emotion filled eyes, Batman Damned #2 reminds us of how Batman stories should be. While there is some involvement of Constantine, who adds for a bit of sardonic humor in this grim tale; the comic is all about Batman.…

Now that we got the specifics out of the way, let’s dive right into this comic. Which, is exactly what this issue does. From the first page, we are front and center in the middle of a car chase with high stakes. Your eyes will be glued to every page as we watch Batman chasing after a mobile home being sped through a busy highway, which would naturally make anyone nervous. As…

Not only does the storyline look exciting, but visually, it’s great to see mass improvements happen in regards to the design of the Transformers. Drifting away from what Michael Bay did, the upcoming movie has the Autobots and Decepticons look similar to their G1 counterparts with some Transformers Prime influence. Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura spoke recently about the upcoming movie and looked to dispell the rumors of Bumblebee being a “reboot” of the franchise: “Reboot, I always hate…
