Now that The Batman script has been turned in to Ben Affleck and Chief Content Officer Toby Emmerich, Joe Manganiello has been doing his research and making sure to stay on par with the Deathstroke character. https://twitter.com/Gregtito/status/829781872779550720 He’s also a comic book geek and an avid player of Dungeons & Dragons. He was a guest on an online podcast called Dragon Talk and it was there he was asked about his Deathstroke/Slade Wilson role in DCEU’s The Batman. “I’m somebody that likes to start preparing way ahead of time. So I’ve read almost all the comic books involving him. Just…

Tony is a child of the 80s so has been pretty on par with pop-culture, sci-fi/fantasy, and anything that hits the nostalgia bone. Even before it was popular to be nerdy.

He covers conventions and likes to bump elbows with others that share his interests at these geek-related events.

Some had thought it would be debuting during this Sunday’s upcoming Super Bowl, but it is not according to sources in contact with Star Wars News.

Earlier today, we reported on a petition that our very own Jennifer Huneycutt started – asking for Zack Snyder to direct the upcoming Batman film. The petition was a bit divisive – but what isn’t these days? Snyder has now taken to a different kind of social media app called VERO to promote a new Justice League image. Apparently, it is a more privatized venue of sharing photos and information, but since Jonathon and Martha Kent has made its way to the public eye, perhaps this is another way to promote VERO with a DC Comics tease such as this? https://twitter.com/theLupeXperienc/status/827269159058804736…
As America stands divisive on the current President Donald Trump, an uproar of protesters on the Muslim ban stood outside the Federal District Court in Brooklyn screaming, “Set them free!” This outcry isn’t just limited to protesters holding signs, but today Ms. Marvel artist Phil Noto revised his cover art for Civil War II issue #0. https://twitter.com/philnoto/status/825484459814313985 Can’t say that you blame Phil’s protest against the Muslim ban, since after all, this Ms. Marvel version is of that nationality. Kamala Khan was created by the creative quartet of Sana Amanat, G. Willow Wilson, Stephen Wacker, and Adrian Alphona. Khan and was the first Muslim character to…
Remember Ben Affleck’s Twitter post showing a clip of Deathstroke moving towards the camera? Not only that, but it was shared via all of Ben’s social media channels. https://www.facebook.com/benaffleck/videos/1161587293915696/ Just recently, actor Joe Manganiello tweeted some fan art of that very character which apparently confirms that clip to be an actual screen test of said character. https://twitter.com/JoeManganiello/status/825032557536251904 The Internet went into a wondrous uproar in regards to Affleck’s post. This was a highly favored villain that has been most often seen on the CW’s Arrow TV show, played by Manu Bennett. Bennett himself even joined in on the fray, having reacted to Manganiello’s casting…
Actor Hugh Jackman has been busy in the Twitter-verse with his final Wolverine movie, Logan. Turns out he posted to social media the menacing mutant all scarred up. Now he’s older and shouldn’t be trifled with. Check it out below: https://twitter.com/RealHughJackman/status/824612564428607488 The movie has earned itself an R-rating which is justified by its red band trailer. There’s a lot of stabbing going on along an equally disturbed X-23 mutant, played by actress Dafne Keen. Patrick Stewart returns this time as an ailing Professor Charles Xavier. The movie will have a gritty feel to it, but the action seen in the trailer is…

The Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi title was officially announced, but something even more interesting was the reddened lettering of “Star Wars” in the title. Buzz has gone around the Internet on speculative thoughts on this. Boss Logic, Inc. has even created a fascinating piece of graphic art showing a Sith Luke Skywalker with red, glowing eyes. https://www.facebook.com/BossLogicInc/photos/pb.150694751922.-2207520000.1485233313./10154022152271923/?type=3&theater Wow! Do you think Emperor Palpatine was right about Luke all this time as he foretold in Return of the Jedi? https://youtu.be/G6b5ubvfa3I This is not unlike the logo of the 1983’s final installment of their trilogy and this goes for the Revenge…
It appears that a possible photo leak of Henry Cavill in a black Superman suit/cape has popped up online. Nothing can be proven for sure, but just in case, a Spanish written website decided to post it anyway, according to Cinemas Comics. https://twitter.com/LaFortalezaSole/status/822420311735959552 This isn’t a first speculative tease showing what could be the possible black suit, because around five months ago the “henrycavill” Instagram page posted a close up of what could have been the suit’s texture. https://www.instagram.com/p/BJI-eYSgRR8/ The Hollywood Reporter mentioned how this “presumed” teased suit could run in line of the 1992-93 story line of The Death and…
Donald J. Trump’s inauguration speech was today and someone spotted a familiar line from The Dark Knight Rises, featuring the DC villain Bane, played by Tom Hardy. Tampa, Florida citrus grower Timothy Burke pieced together Trump’s speech along with Bane’s speech at Blackgate prison. It was posted on Twitter and you can’t help but get a chuckle out of it. https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/822495850899374080 It is interesting how fictional villains are being compared to the new leader and can be thought of an allegory of sorts. Speaking of which, NME interviewed The Walking Dead’s Lennie James regarding the post-apocalyptic zombie world and was…
