What Other Heroes Should Join The New Justice Society Show?

justice-society-of-america

So you may or may not have heard the news by now, but the CW is making another superhero show, and it is going to be lead by Brandon Routh’s Atom.  The crazy part is that he will not be coming alone.  It looks like he with by joined by Caity Lotz’s undead Canary, Wentworth Miller’s Captain Cold, and Victor Garber’s half of Firestorm.  The even crazier news is that they are going to add three more previously unseen heroes to the mix.  A team of lesser known heroes fighting crime headed by The Atom?  Sounds like the Justice Society to me.  I thought I would help them out by giving my idea for the last three heroes.

Stargirl:

Stargirl

Stargirl in the comics leads the JSA for awhile, so it would be good to introduce her here.  She has a pretty major fan following, and she kicks major butt.  As a matter of fact this could be a good role for Caity Lotz if they decide not to use her as the Canary.

Vixen:

If they are not going to use her for the new Suicide Squad movie, why not use her for this.  She is powerful, but her powers, channeling the abilities of animals, would be easy to show on screen, and she is a great way to introduce magic in to the DC Television Universe.

Hourman:

Hourman

Hourman is a pretty crazy character.  When he drinks a serum he is super powerful for one hour.  In some instances he can even control time in that hour.  The problem is that the serum is addictive, so the more he uses it the more he risks becoming an out of control addict.  The CW was already working on an Hourman show, so why not put all that work to good use.

Those are my three choices for the new JSA show.  Who would you add?

Thank You Mr. Spock!

leonard-nimoy

I am not sure I know what to say.  Leonard Nimoy is dead at 83.  It is hard to focus after typing that sentence.  Leonard Nimoy meant a lot to my life.  Which is strange since I have never met him, but Star Trek helped me as a young man to dream, and to think of things beyond myself.  Those are things I hope to carry with me for the rest of my life.  He was more than Mr. Spock of course, but that is how I knew him.

Kirk may have been the driving force of Star Trek, but Spock was the heart.  He was the inquisitive nature looking for new things to discover and to understand.  Star Trek would have been vastly different without him, and not in a good way.  It would have been Kirk punching and sexing stuff, which may have been fun, but Spock made it fascinating, and his memory will Live Long and Prosper in our minds.  You are, and always shall be my hero.

I love you Leonard Nimoy and God Speed.

Random Movie News!

jem-holograms-movie

Universal released the first official photo of the Jem and the Holograms movie.  You can see it above.  It looks like the Jem and the Holograms cartoon, so well done.  It is much more “80’s” than I was expecting, so that is nice.  I was worried they were going to try and make it more current, but it looks like my fears have been abated for now.  We will see how the movie turns out this October.

Speaking of the 80’s, Harrison Ford has confirmed that he is in the Blade Runner sequel.  I am not sure how I feel about this because it kind of eliminates the Deckard is a replicant theory.  Though I am excited that this movie finally moving forward.  It will be on my must watch list for 2018, or 2019, or 2020, or whenever.  Sometime before Ford dies I guess.

Parks And Recreation Is Donezo!

parks-and-recreation-season6

Well after seven seasons Parks and Recreation has come to an end, and I will miss it.  I am not sure what sitcom is going to fill its void, and it was especially hard since this was only a twelve episode season that they doubled up every night, so it was over in the blink of an eye.  Still it was nice for Parks and Rec to go out on top, and I liked that they went even further in to the future so we could see how these characters we have come to know and love ended up.

I am not going to spoil anything, but the last episode wasn’t great from a comedy standpoint, but it was a very good way to put a bow on everything and send it off to syndication where I am sure it will live a long and happy life.  Seven seasons is pretty good in this day and age, and there wasn’t a bad one in the bunch.  Since the cast is so talented there is no need to wish them luck because I am sure they will land on their feet, and most of them already have.

New Batman Arkham Knight Trailer!

Oh man I cannot wait for this game!  It is the third Batman game from Rocksteady, and since the first two are classics, the expectations for the third are off the charts.  I am interested to see what Scarecrow will bring to the table as the main villain since his levels were always a lot of fun in the past games.  It will be trippy if nothing else.  June 2nd cannot get here soon enough.
