Hello there puny humans,
the 21st Century is a great time for comic book- and film fans, and hardly a week goes by without any news about costumed heroes on the big or small screen. So let me sum up the most recent ones:
Firstly, (and this made me very happy) ABC announced that they renewed
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for a second season. The show evolves around Agent Coulson and his Team of Shield-Agents solving mysteries and weird cases, and ties in heavily with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (including guest appearances of Nick Fury, Maria Hill & Lady Sif). And if that wasn't enough, they also announced that there is going to be a new mini-series about the adventures of
Agent Carter, whom you might remember as Captain America's love interest from his first movie. She was also featured in a
Marvel One-Shot, that appeared on the
Iron Man 3 BluRay Edition, and was pretty much the kick-start for this series. Even though she is an "Agent of Shield" herself, the show will most likely have a different tone than the first one, as it will be set just after World War II, with an old-school (and hopefully Indiana Jones like) vibe.
But where there's a Marvel announcement, a DC-Comics one won't be far, and they too announced two new TV-Shows: One of those is
Constantine, and
yes, that is the same demon-chasing Constantine as in the 2005 Keanu Reeves movie of the same name. Both are based on the
Hellblazer Comics and the first look promises, that the TV-Show will be much more faithful to the source material. The other show DC is putting out there is a show called
Gotham, a show about the Dark Kight's famous hometown. However, the show will take place before Bruce Wayne became the Caped Crusader and rather focus on a young Jim Gordon. New to Gotham, he will have to face the town's biggest criminals, including younger versions of the Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman and others.
Speaking of Batman, there was another big reveal yesterday, concerning
Man Of Steel 2 aka. Batman vs. Superman. After casting Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Alfred back in January (before this beauty of a blog existed)
, Zack Snyder now twittered a first picture of Ben Affleck in his costume with the Batmobile behind him:
Seeing the new suit, i can imagine that it was inspired by Frank Miller's
Dark Knight Returns Comics, that showed us a grumpier, grittier and older Batman, which could be pretty cool for this movie too. I personally think it looks bad-ass (or should i say bat-ass?) and it just makes me more excited for the team up. Hopefully, it will be the Batman vs. Superman movie we deserve AND the one we need right now! So fingers crossed that Batfleck learned from his Daredevil days....and maybe George Clooney gave him some
advise warnings too...
Sincerely,
Your Cinemartian!
PS.: I know I've been lazy, but my X-Men, and Godzilla Review will be up in less than two weeks!
