Wonder Woman and Justice League - SDCC Trailers

Warner Bros. has released the Comic-Con trailer for Wonder Woman!

Definitely feels different from Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, which might be a good thing. I like what I see so far. It is fun seeing Wonder Woman plow through random soldiers, but they may be a little too easy to take down. Knowing Warner Bros, they will give Wonder Woman a suitably formidable antagonist to fight. Looking forward to seeing more.

Directed by Patty Jenkins, the films stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen, Lucy Davis, Lisa Loven Kongsli, Florence Kasumba, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Ewen Bremner, Saïd Taghmaoui, and Elena Anaya.

Here is a synopsis:

"Diana (Gal Gadot), princess of the Amazons, was raised on a sheltered island and trained to be an unconquerable fighter. After American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crashes on the island and tells her about a world war that is happening, Diana leaves her home to try to stop the war."


Surprisingly, Warner Bros. also released the Comic-Con trailer for Justice League!

It is exciting to finally see all these characters together on screen. Looks like Warner Bros. is changing the overall tone of their films to feel less grim. This is not a bad choice, but hopefully they also understand that it will require more than just a tonal shift to make the films work. As of now, I am cautiously optimistic.

Directed by Zack Snyder, the film stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, and Ray Fisher.

Here is the official synopsis:

"Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes - Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, and The Flash - it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions."

Wonder Woman will arrive on July 2, 2017, while Justice League is scheduled for release on November 17, 2017.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Official Final Trailer

Watch the epic final trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice!

Wow, that was the best trailer by far. Batman looked brutal in the opening fight scene. This is the trailer they should have released in the first place. I am definitely pumped to watch this now more than ever.

Directed by Zack Snyder, the film stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Holly Hunter, and Jason Momoa.

Here is an official synopsis:

"Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis' most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before."

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will arrive in US theaters on March 25, 2016.

Suicide Squad - Second Trailer

Watch the newest trailer for Suicide Squad! "Worst. Heroes. Ever."

This could be one of the better DC Comics films. Looks like a lot of fun and true to the roots of the original characters. See what happens when you take chances on more obscure properties?

Directed by David Ayer, the film stars Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as The Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adam Beach as Slipknot, and Jay Hernandez as El Diablo.

Here is a short synopsis:

"It feels good to be bad... Assemble a team of the world's most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government's disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren't picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitable fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it's every man for himself?"

Suicide Squad is scheduled to arrive in US theaters on August 5, 2016.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Official Trailer 2

Doomsday appears in the new trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice!

Still not sure about Lex Luthor, but it is exciting to see Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman teaming up against the devastating Doomsday. Just as exciting, this film will be a catalyst for several more DC Comics based movies, including the eventual release of a Justice League film. Hopefully Warner Bros. can keep the quality of the films up.

Directed by Zack Snyder, the film stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Holly Hunter, and Jason Momoa.

Here is an official synopsis:

"Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis' most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before."

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will arrive in US theaters on March 25, 2016.

Suicide Squad - Comic-Con Trailer

The Joker returns in the Comic-Con trailer for Suicide Squad!

This is basically a long teaser, but it gives audiences a good look at the cast and, what everyone has been waiting for, a better look at the Joker. Jared Leto looks terrifying as the Clown Prince of Crime, but who is he talking to? Looking forward to seeing more.

Directed by David Ayer, the film stars Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as The Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adam Beach as Slipknot, and Jay Hernandez as El Diablo.

No official plot synopsis has been released, but we do know the film centers on a group of supervillains who are recruited by the government to execute highly dangerous black ops missions in exchange for clemency.

Suicide Squad is scheduled to arrive in US theaters on August 5, 2016.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Comic-Con Trailer

Warner Bros. has released the Comic-Con trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. "Black and blue. God vs. man. Day vs. night."

Although I am still not too sure about Lex Luthor with the ugly shirt and toupee, Jesse Eisenberg's acting is great, and everything else looked amazing. The only real concern is how much it looks like they are cramming into this movie. That said, it is difficult not to get hyped for this. Batman is livid with Superman for the destruction from the first film, and Ben Affleck's acting is looking above form in the trailer.

Noteworthy: we finally got to see Wonder Woman in action! Also, will Zod's dead body come into play somehow? Is the child Wayne is holding going to be his Robin? How does Aquaman figure into the story? What was with that fight between Batman and those soldiers? So many questions, but I would rather wait to watch the movie for the answers.

Directed by Zack Snyder, the film stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Gal Gadot, and Jason Momoa.

Here is an official synopsis:

"Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis' most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before."

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will arrive in US theaters on March 25, 2016.

Batman: Arkham Knight - "All Who Follow You" Trailer

Nightwing, Robin, and Catwoman join the fight in the latest trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.

The new trailer is showing off the new "Dual Play" mechanic, which Warner Bros. says allows players to "switch seamlessly between The Dark Knight and his allies including Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman in free-flow combat." Sounds like developer Rocksteady Studios is working very hard to make this an amazing last entry in the Arkham series.

Here is a short synopsis for the game:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy the Dark Knight forever. Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the 'Batman Arkham' series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City."

Batman: Arkham Knight will arrive on June 23rd for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - First Official Teaser Trailer

Warner Bros. has officially released the full HD teaser trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now with 100% less shaky cam!

That last line was badass. Also loved the imagery of a human looking up at Superman like he is some kind of angel or god, only to be followed by "False God" scrawled on a statue of him.

For those familiar with Frank Miller's graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns, the film should look familiar. Batman's armor and bulky frame are straight out of the pages of the book. However, there is a bit of role reversal this time around in the sense that Superman appears to be reviled by the public in the film, whereas Batman was the pariah in Miller's story.

Directed by Zack Snyder, the film stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Gal Gadot, and Jason Momoa.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will arrive in US theaters on March 25, 2016.

Batman: Arkham Knight - "Gotham is Mine" Trailer

Batman must protect Gotham from Scarecrow in the newest trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.

Each trailer looks better than the last one. It appears Poison Ivy is returning along with The Riddler, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, and The Penguin. Could not help but notice the heavily armed thugs as well. Each Arkham game has raised the stakes and this one looks to do the same. However, Rocksteady Studios appears to be pushing the envelope even further than before, seeing as this is the first Batman game to be rated M for its mature content. Nonetheless, considering how good Arkham Asylum and Arkham City were, this is a game that should be on almost everyone's radar.

Here is a short synopsis:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy the Dark Knight forever. Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the 'Batman Arkham' series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City."

Batman: Arkham Knight will arrive on June 2 for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Batman: Arkham Knight - ACE Chemicals Infiltration Trailer: Part 3

Batman kicks butt in the final part of the ACE Chemicals Infiltration trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.

Shown today at Sony's PlayStation Experience event, the gameplay looks amazing. Great way to end off the big trailer. The PS4 exclusive Scarecrow mission looks impressive as well.

Here is a short synopsis for the game:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy the Dark Knight forever. Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise.

Batman: Arkham Knight will arrive on June 2, 2015 for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Batman: Arkham Knight - Ace Chemicals Infiltration Trailer: Part 2

Check out Part 2 of the ACE Chemicals Infiltration trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.

Another great video showing off the awesome Batmobile and the power of the graphics engine. The first part of the video debuted last week. Part 3 of the video will debut this Saturday, December 6 during Sony's keynote at PlayStation Experience. The trailer will also be available online at the official PlayStation website.

Batman: Arkham Knight will arrive on June 2, 2015 for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Batman: Arkham Knight - Ace Chemicals Infiltration Trailer: Part 1

Batman infiltrates ACE Chemicals in the new gameplay trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.

Awesome! The trailer shows off Batman's aggressive new Fear Takedown, and the integration of Batmobile gameplay. The graphics also impress with a highly detailed cinematic look to the in-game engine.

This is just the first part of 3 trailers, with the remaining 2 set to debut next week. The second will arrive on December 1, and the last will be shown on December 6 during Sony's keynote at PlayStation Experience.

Here is a short synopsis for the game:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect.

Zack Snyder Reveals Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman at Comic-Con

Zack Snyder finally revealed Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman from Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice at Comic-Con! Take a look at the Amazonian superhero in her full armor (click the photo for HD resolution).

Awesome sword is awesome.

Warner Bros. also recently gave us another look at Ben Affleck as Batman.

Dat chin doe.

Here is a look at DC's "Trinity" (Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman) side by side.

Are you excited yet?

Now that Warner Bros. has shown us their Trinity, how about we get a look at Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), and the rumored Aquaman (Jason Momoa)?

They did show some footage of the film to the Comic-Con crowd, but the rest of us will have to wait a little while for that. Can't wait to see more!

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice will open in US theaters on May 6th, 2016.

Gotham - Villains Promo

A new promo for Gotham is out and highlights the villains of the series. Check it out now!

Nice use of "Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums" by A Perfect Circle.

What little has been shown of the new program looks great so far. Looking forward to seeing even more.

Gotham will premiere this Fall on FOX.

Batman: Arkham Knight - E3 Gameplay Trailer

In case you missed it, Warner Bros. and developer Rocksteady Studios debuted an impressive new gameplay trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight at Sony's E3 press conference. Check it out now!

It makes sense that this game is only for current-gen consoles since the game features highly detailed but expansive environments. The Batmobile is not just for show, as it serves an important function for traversing the streets of Gotham and dispatching enemies. The ability to launch Batman out of the cockpit is also a really nice looking and practical feature.

What little has been shown looks great so far. Rocksteady has a proven track record with the Batman franchise as they always aim to make each game bigger in scope, while adding gameplay elements that are both fun and help overcome the new challenges that arise from creating a larger game.

Batman: Arkham Knight is set to release next year for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT Delayed Until 2015, Batmobile Battle Mode Revealed

As previously thought, Batman: Arkham Knight is being pushed back until next year. According to Rocksteady's Dax Ginn, the reasoning behind the delay is because "Awesome takes time." To assuage fans, Rocksteady has released this reveal trailer teasing the Batmobile Battle Mode.

The Batmobile looks great, and Rocksteady has the track record to keep their promise of making a truly awesome game. More will be shown at E3 so keep this one on your radar.

Batman: Arkham Knight will be released next year on the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Batman: Arkham Knight - Gameplay Trailer

Check out gameplay footage from Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Knight!

There sure is a lot of detail for such a dark game. Furthermore, while it does appear in just a few snippets, there is definitely some Batmobile gameplay shown off, including driving on the walls and ceiling. Ultimately, the trailer only gives us a taste of what to expect, and just that little bit looks great.

Interestingly, the trailer only mentions that the game is coming soon, though previous trailers suggested a worldwide 2014 release. Hopefully, the release date will be clarified soon. Expect to hear more about the game at E3 next month.

Batman: Arkham Knight will be released on the PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.

Zack Snyder Reveals New Batmobile and Batman

Yesterday, Batman vs Superman director Zack Snyder teased a look at the new Batmobile with the above image. Snyder delivered on his promise of a reveal today, but he added a bonus.

Check out this high-res image of the new Batmobile along with Ben Affleck in the new Batman suit! Click on the image for a much better look at all the little details.

Behold! Batfleck!

The Batmobile looks great, coming off like a cross between the heavy hardware of the Tumbler from the Nolan films, and the sleeker designs from the earlier films.

The new suit looks highly influenced by the design from Frank Miller's graphic novel, The Dark Knight Returns. It sports the same short ears and large chest symbol.

An aged and battered Batman from The Dark Knight Returns.

The suit also eschews armor for a more proper superhero look than previous incarnations, which fits the style set by Man of Steel.

Hopefully we get a look at Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman next. This will be the character's big screen debut, and getting it right will be a challenge. Other additions to the cast include Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Victor Stone/Cyborg, and Jeremy Irons as Alfred. Let us hope that the film is not bogged down by too many characters. For now, this image keeps me cautiously optimistic.

The Man of Steel sequel, tentatively titled Batman vs Superman, is scheduled to arrive in theaters on May 6, 2016.

Gotham - Official Extended Trailer

Check out the official extended trailer for Gotham, the new FOX TV series centered around a young Detective James Gordon (Ben McKenzie), and featuring a 12-year-old Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz).

I am definitely intrigued. A show based in Gotham before Batman has a lot of potential. The main potential problem I can see is when the young Bruce Wayne begins aging. He has to become Batman at some point, so the show cannot drag on for too long. A good 6 year run sounds about right. I hope the show turns out to be good, and finds its audience.

Gotham will premiere this Fall on FOX.

Watch the Brand New BATMAN BEYOND Short by Darwyn Cooke

Kevin Conroy and Will Friedle reprise their roles in this brand new Batman Beyond short produced by writer/artist Darwyn Cooke for Batman's 75th Anniversary. Enjoy!

Warner Bros. needs to get on the Batman Beyond bandwagon. I really enjoyed that short, and I loved all the different iterations of Batman at the end, including cameos from the Adam West and Michael Keaton versions. Blink and you missed it. Now, how about a Batman Beyond movie?

You can catch more DC animated shorts like this on Wednesday nights at 6:30/7:30c on Cartoon Network during Teen Titans Go!, as well as on the DC Nation website.
