WB Put A Comic Book Guy In Charge Of DC Movies!

Thanks to Batman v Superman ‘only’ bringing in $860 Million worldwide and getting slammed by the critics, Warner Brothers has decided to shake up the people in charge of making DC movies. In short Geoff Johns is the new head of DC Movies. This move is meant to emulate having Kevin Feige in charge of Marvel Studios. Despite how some people may feel about Johns’ work, he is definitely a comic book guy, and he understands the characters as well as just about anyone. If you were hoping for DC movies to be more comic book-y, I think you are in luck. I hope that long time Warner executive Jon Berg doesn’t get in his way too much.

The Best Batman Games Are Coming To Current Gen Consoles!

Want an excuse to go back to two of the best games of the previous generation? Looks like Warner Brothers is giving us one! The first two Arkham games are being redone with the Unreal 4 Engine, so they should look and feel great. I own these already, but I may have to get them again!

What Is In A Name? Transformers: The Last Knight!

Look, the Michael Bay transformers movies are bad. Very bad, but due to my love of the franchise when I was a kid I still at least keep track of them, and then I watch them when they don’t cost me anything extra. I don’t see that changing with Transformers 5, but I have to say the title is throwing me for a loop. The Last Knight? Are the Transformers royal now? Are they next in line to be king? Is Batman coming to save the day? Man I hope it is Batman. Because the new murder-y Batman would kill these abominations before they could destroy another city.

Sadly I am assuming that they have run out of ideas and that they are going to shoehorn in the Arthurian Legend. It shows how wrong we were to think things couldn’t get any worse for this film franchise. I wonder what beloved story they are going to appropriate for Transformers 6? Cinderella? Transformers: The Glass Slipper coming out in 2019! I am probably not far off, I think I am going to go cry…

Let’s Cast Booster Gold!

It has been a long time since I cast a lead role for a movie. So far movie executives haven’t used any of my choices. Their loss. Today we are going to try and pick the perfect lovable jerk for Booster Gold. It was hard to find guys that could do the job that aren’t already wearing tights, but here are my amazing choices in reverse order:

5: Nathan Fillion

I know he is getting a little old for this, but no one plays a rogue better than Nathan, and if Batman and Superman are older why not Booster? He would have to hit the gym, but I think he would pull it off aplomb.

4: Josh Holloway

Josh has already been a great rogue on TV, why not movies? Plus he isn’t doing anything right now so he would be cheap. I think he would fit right in with the cast of the Justice League, and he already has the golden locks.

3: Liam Hemsworth

There is just something about the Hemsworth boys that screams superhero. With his stint as the third wheel in the Hunger Games being over, now is the perfect time to sign him up with a long term contract, and you would get a little Marvel/DC sibling rivalry going which would be fun.

2: Alan Tudyk

As we have learned from Marvel, funny men make great superheroes, and I think it is time for Alan to bulk up and don some tights! Yes he is my second cast member from Firefly on this list, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be great as everyone’s least favorite Golden Boy.

1: Zac Efron

I was watching the trailer for Neighbors 2, and I was like, “That Zac Efron has sure come a long way. Why isn’t he a hero yet?”. Then it hit me. He is funny, and he is a little jerky. He is the perfect age for a long term deal. Warner Brothers should lock him down. If he came from the future to save me I would want to punch him.

There you have it. That is my list for who should play Booster Gold. If they decide to put Blue Beetle in this movie they should just team up Fillion and Tudyk and make everyone happy. Well, make me happy anyway. Who would you pick to be the hero no body wanted?

I Got Nothing, So How About Some Voltron!

I know you probably watched this already, but it is Monday, and I don’t want to have to come up with anything, so, “Yeah Voltron is coming back!!!”. We will see if I have something to talk about tomorrow.
