DC Vs Marvel- Batman v Superman, Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Captain America Civil War & Doctor Strange

by Ken Parker

Lots to cover this time out so let's get to it.

Doctor Strange - First up - this -

Batman Vs Superman – Okay, this is it.  The all important movie that would make or break the franchise.  First off, how was the movie?  Well, it could have been worse and it could have been better.  There are quite a few nitpicks that I could go over but others have done a better job –

Overall I enjoyed the film and don’t think it was as bad as critics say.  I can understand some of the criticism toward the Superman character.  He is still not right in the film.  But apparently that is what we have so time to get over it.  Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot are perfect playing Batman and Wonder Woman and in the case of Wonder Woman, she is the best part of the film by far.  The worst part was Lex Luthor played by Jessie Eisenberg.  This was not Lex Luthor, more like the Joker really.  This was glaringly bad and if someone told me they hated the movie because of this then I would have to concede that point.  There is a lot to look past in the film for sure but there is a lot to like about the film.  I do like the dark tone and look of the film.  I feel that if they tried to tone this down a bit it would look too much like Marvel’s universe and so I am fine with it as it is now. 

Marvel vs DC - Jessica Jones, Supergirl, Agent Carter, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow

Is it my imagination or are the DC movies starting to look better and better and the Marvel films look .... tired?  Meanwhile on TV Marvel looks better and better and DC might be the one who is tired.  Maybe...

Marvel Vs. DC - Daredevil, Deadpool, 2015-2016 TV Season, and the not so Fantastic Four

By Ken Parker

With the next TV season almost upon us we see a lot of exciting match-ups in this ongoing and fun battle between Marvel and DC.  The tides seem to be slightly changing due to a horrible outing by Fantastic Four but until Deadpool and Batman Vs Superman come out next year, all we really have is what is on TV and that is certainly exciting.  This time around I also look at what I think are the most important events for either side in the following year or so.

Taking information that has been coming from San Diego Comic Con, we have some highlights including...

Batman v Superman Trailer - 

Ok, I am now officially interested. Parts of it still don't look right but they are at least addressing the whole Superman allowing a whole city to be destroyed and taking part in it idea. I don't think I will be 100% comfortable with it until I see the movie but this has relaxed my fears a bit.

Suicide Squad Trailer -

WOW - this looks good.  I am probably more interested in this than Batman Vs. Superman and it looks like Margot Robbie is going to steal the show as Harley Quinn.  

Marvel Vs. DC - Guardians of the Galaxy, Daredevil, Deadpool and Ant-Man

This tine around we look at what Marvel is doing on television and the movies and we see a little in terms of DC because they have nothing until next year. See who Haley Atwell has been hanging out with while waiting for shooting to begin on her series and learn a little more about Daredevil season 2

Marvel Super Hero News, Rumors and Theories

By Ken Parker

Lots of rumors going around, some are crazy, others, not so much. Let's take a look at some of them.

The big one – Sony is willing to lend Spider-Man to Marvel for inclusion in one of their products like The Avengers. WOW!! That would be incredible. Imagine a Hulk Vs Spider-Man!!!

Now that means Marvel would have to pay Sony or give Sony a portion of sales in whatever product the Web-Head appears in. That negotiation would be tough as Sony will want all it can get and Marvel may say, meh, we don't need Spider-Man. Marvel is right. Sony would love to generate more publicity for their stand alone Spider-Man films and having a cameo or role in Marvel's heavy hitters would help Sony. If Sony is thinking they want to do this to salvage their franchise they might be better off teaming up with FOX and The X-Men. Also, Marvel may counter and say, we will buy Spidey outright and reboot him for our own version.

Not everyone wants to see Spider-Man in the Marvel universe. James Whitbrook has some good arguments onkeeping Spider-Man in a solo setting.

I still want to see Spider-Man in some kind of team up. I think his contrast with Wolverine, Hulk or Black Widow would be interesting to see.

Iron Man 4, Avengers without the Avengers and more......
