Batman: The Killing Joke hits theaters for one night only on July 25, and will be released digitally the next day.
ICH’s people are under attack! The Spaniards continue to raze villages in an attempt to draw out the shapeshifting warrior. Now, ICH intends to give them what they want… he’s going to bring the fight to them!
With his soul searching complete, Ich decides to go on the offensive. Though he was conflicted about how to use his powers and what they would make him, he realizes he has no choice but to fight back. Unfortunately, this means he has to become just as violent and barbaric as the Spaniards.
Using these methods is starting to weigh on Ich, but he has no choice but to move forward if he wishes to stop innocent people from getting hurt. Luciano Saracino has really crafted a great character whose powers can be used to save others, but can also take his soul if used improperly.
The artwork remains fantastic. Ariel Olivetti’s work is as dynamic and on point as it was in the first issue. This time he takes the time to give Ich some new forms to change into after putting on the different masks. The first is a monstrous scorpion which looks like it was ripped out of someone’s nightmares. The second looks like a shrunken version of a Rancor. Both of these transformations are used to tear apart his enemies and seek the proper revenge.
The series has been at an intense level of quality so far. Both of these creators just have to stick the landing and give the people a satisfying ending to truly make this series a masterpiece. Will Ich be able to stop the Spaniards without giving in and losing himself in the process? Or is he destined to become a beast who only craves blood?
Once this series is complete and these issues are bound together into a graphic novel it will make this series a perfect gift for fans of historical fiction and hyper violence. One you can safely give to fans of independent comics who want something a bit less mainstream and a bit more adult in their stories.
When talking about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, one of the most common topics within the film is Ben Affleck’s portrayal as a Batman who kills. A Youtube channel by the name of Mr Sunday Movies made a video cutting together all the people that Batman killed in the film, and the final number is staggering.

We’re officially a month away from Suicide Squad hitting theaters. In preparation, Warner Bros. released this official countdown poster featuring Harley Quinn.
“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 inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?”

In a recent interview with Den of Geek, Kevin Smith talked about the possibility of him directing an episode of Arrow:
“Oh my god, I would love that so much. I’ve not heard from anybody over there, even though I’ve talked about it in the press quite a bit and stuff.
He then revealed that he is directing an upcoming episode of The Flash, along with expressing interest in bringing Onomatopeia to Arrow:
I know I’m going back to The Flash, first week of September, to direct episode 7 of season 3. Still haven’t heard anything back from Arrow. You know, I wish, it would be amazing because I would love to write and direct Onomatopoeia in the show. Um, but I know they’re doing – what is it? – Wild Dog this year, as well as Vigilante, so maybe they’re just like ‘we don’t need you’, or whatever. But, at the moment, anyone over there raises a flag; I’m like ‘please, let me in!’ That’d be fun as f**k.”

The Flash returns on Tuesday, October 4, while season 5 of Arrow is kicked off on Wednesday, October 5.

Anthony and Joe Russo are busy guys these days. Deadline is reporting that the fraternal filmmakers have announced their plans to adapt 1979’s The Warriors as a one hour TV drama. The Russos will be producing the project alongside Paramount TV and Hulu.
The report states that the Russos’ take “will honor the original film while adding its own unique brand of grit, pulp, sex and violence.” Anthony and Joe will team up with Frank Baldwin to write the script, while no director has signed on as of yet.
The Russo Brothers have gained fame over recent years due to their work on Marvel films. They directed both Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War, and are slated to direct the two-part Avengers: Infinity War.
The Warriors centers on a New York City street gang that must make its way back to its home turf after being framed for the murder of a rival gang leader. The original film was itself based on a novel from 1965.
This is a developing story and more details will be reported as they become available.
Lionsgate Premiere and Grindstone Entertainment Group released the first trailer for ‘Imperium’ starring Daniel Radcliffe.
Nate Foster (Daniel Radcliffe), a young, idealistic FBI agent, goes undercover to take down a radical right-wing terrorist group. The bright up-and-coming analyst must confront the challenge of sticking to a new identity while maintaining his real principles as he navigates the dangerous underworld of white supremacy.
‘Imperium’ is written and directed by Daniel Ragussis, and stars Daniel Radcliffe, Toni Collette, Tracy Letts, with Nestor Carbonell, Burn Gorman and Sam Trammell.
The film will be in theaters and on-demand August 19.
The one part of this story that I don’t understand is why France gets a restored version of ‘Predator’ before the United States?
Darkhorizons is reporting that a new 2K restored version of ‘Predator’ will have a limited release in France on August 17.
Directed by John McTiernan, ‘Predator’ was originally released in June of 1987 on a budget of $15 million. The film went on to gross $98 million worldwide.
No blu-ray announcement was made at this time.
Shane Black is working on ‘The Predator’ with a release date of February 9, 2018. Black wants to make ‘The Predator’ to bring back the event film.
“We live in a culture where everyone’s like, “[I want to] know everything about it before it comes out, and I want to be able to see every moment, and I’m gonna go back and forth on the goddamn YouTube channel and get every goddamn moment and every Easter egg.” [But] I’ll tell you a little bit about it. It’s an attempt to event-ize the Predator and make it more mysterious. The Predator has been so overdone in a way — very low budget with a guaranteed return, every couple of years there’s a knock off churned out. It’s gotta get to the point where people buy their tickets in advance instead of saying, “Oh honey look, another Predator movie. Nah, no, Adam Sandler’s got this thing on TV let’s do that instead.” I want people to say, “The Predator is coming, I know it’s coming, we want to see it, it’s mysterious, interesting, it’s got the same sense of wonderment and newness that Close Encounters had when that came out.” That’s what we want. That’s very impossible to achieve, but we’re going to try,” said Black to The Play List.
Production on ‘The Predator’ should begin early in 2017 to meet the February 2018 deadline.
If you’ve seen Captain America: Civil War, you know that the opening action sequence ended with the death of Cap’s foe Crossbones, whom we met in Captain America: The Winter Solider. The actor who plays Crossbones, Frank Grillo, doesn’t think that his character actually died in the film, saying the following:
“You think he dies, don’t you? Did you see the body? What did you see?”
It’s pretty common for characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be falsely killed then brought back to life, so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
If this is the case and Grillo’s assumption is correct, would you want to see Crossbones pop up in another MCU film? If so, which one? Drop a comment down below and let us know.

2016 seems to be traveling at warp speed, and we’ve already reached the halfway point for this movie year. So far our films have ranged from alien invasions to being held captive in an underground bunker, internal conflict between the world’s greatest superheroes, and being attacked in a green room by a group of neo-nazis. One of toughest parts of being a film critic is creating these types of lists as they are of course highly subjective. The other issue with these lists stems from not seeing everything that has come out. So this list will be a very a fluid one (expect some changes). Okay, here we go –
Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice was a tremendous film to launch the DC cinematic universe. This film received and unfair amount of critique because it wasn’t up to the standard that Marvel had previously set. How soon people forget that critics blasted the original Ironman film for being too slow in parts. This film was meant to be a launching pad DC and what a launch it was. Plus, Gal Gadot’s performance as Wonder Woman is truly worth the price of admission.
A film that begins terribly and doesn’t relent. Quite possibly the best role of John Goodman’s career and set the bar early on for suspense in 2016. Just when the audience think that they have this film figured out, the twists will keep the audience the audience guessing to the very end.This film also boats some of the best writing of 2016 to date.
A brilliant parody of our celebrity-driven culture, written by the boys from Lonely Island. It’s eighty minutes of nonstop laughs and well worth seeing in theaters. Seal’s cameo alone will have you in stitches.
Green Room is the best horror film so far in 2016, and one of the more cleverly shot films as well. The film brought out a side in Patrick Stewart that scared me to my core. Shot on a very low budget, but the camera work gives it the feel of a bigger budget horror flick.
Just a fun look back at the 80’s with a relatively unknown cast that will leave you smiling well after the film. Everybody Wants Some is the most fun I’ve had at the movies so far this year.Everybody Wants Some is also cleverly written as well. This film is already out and is well worth your time.
Visually stunning and masterfully produced retelling of one of Disney’s most classic tales. Plus anytime you can have Christopher Walken doing a dance number; then that’s, of course, an automatic win.
Finding Dory wasn’t quite finding Finding Nemo, but anytime you can take a popular Disney character and weave in a tale about acceptance of who you are then that’s a home run to me. Plus the animation was fantastic.
The Russo brothers had what seemed to be a monumental task of fitting all of those superheroes in one film and do it in such a way that appeared effortless, and man did they pull it off. They also found a very cool way to bring Spider-man into the Marvel cinematic universe. The action is relentless and the story-line is extremely relevant to boot.
A film unlike any other, shot in such a way that the audience is mesmerized, is the epitome of what a top film is. How seldom do you come across a film that has such little narrative but comes across so well? This film is special.
Nothing could have prepared me for just how wonderful Deadpool was to watch. The authenticity that the director insisted be throughout this film elevated the quality of this film. It shouldn’t be a shock that the fight sequences were just as rated “R” as the language in the film. Most importantly, Deadpool was just pure cinematic fun from start to finish.
