Love Interests In Superhero Films

While I think it’s clear I enjoy the occasional SHM (Superhero Movie), there is one aspect that usually takes me out of the experience of the film… The love interest. The standard for nearly most movies, in general, revolve around some sort of love interest right? So why are SHM’s, most of the time, lacking in that department? Well I have a few reasons to why.

After MOS 2?

In a recent interview with the New York Times Kevin Tsujihara, CEO of WB, stated “a film series will be announced in the near future” in regards to DC properties. Mr. Tsujihara has also stated, last September, that they would be announcing 12 to 14 DC projects. However, that includes games, and television series. Many have speculated this means Justice League. Which got me thinking; what is/should happen next, following Man of Steel 2 (May 6, 2016)? Should it even be Justice League? Don’t worry though; I have amassed a list of possible options, and what they would mean for the new DCU, answering the tough questions like: What? When? Solo’s? So let’s dive in.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson & The DCU

Earlier today (03/25/14) Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson took to a Q&A on Twitter. And in regards to being a part of the DC cinematic universe (DCU), he stated the following.

“Myself & DC have agreed on a character. Extremely complex, well known (but  never played) and a pure BAD ASS MF;) #RockTalk .@ThomasEspin”

”Green Lantern (John Stewart) and Black Adam are my fav superheroes, but GL's already been made and stamped. #RockTalk @CFitzyy”

Now, I know what your asking yourself... What does it all mean? Well good news chaps, I’m here to help put things into prospective. I see two major questions being brought up. One: What does this mean for DC/WB. And two: Who the hell will he play!? Well, good news baby birds, I just might have the answer.

Questionable Plot Holes In MOS 2

We all know, in this “real world” tone DC/WB has set, that a few major characteristics of our hero’s are questionable. For instance; the big difference between Clark Kent and Superman is a pair of glasses? And a man with tons of expensive gadgets, who else but Bruce Wayne? In this article, I will add my two cents of how to “realistically” approach these questions.  

Top 5 CBM’s That Changed The Game

I have amassed a list to be what I consider the top 5 most important comic book movies (CBM’s), of all time. These movies are not only considered classics, but paved the way for what is now one of the most successful genres of our time. Let’s jump right in; but first, my honorable mentions.

Why Do We Expect More From DC/WB?

It’s no secret that when it comes to the movie universe, at this point, Marvel is bounds and leaps ahead of DC/Warner Bros. Just ask George St. Pierre. But it seems that there is more pressure on DC/WB that over at Marvel/Disney, to not only make quality films, but make more moves in this cinematic chess game. This article is going to tackle why I believe that we seem to expect more out of DC/WB, and why this won’t likely change anytime soon.

The 2016 DC vs MARVEL Showdown...?

First of all let me start by saying, though this site mostly covers DC theories and such, I LOVE MARVEL MOVIES. I own every one of the marvel movies on DVD. Even Thor: The Dark World (Which I have many problems with.).

So we know that, as of now, Man of Steel 2 (aka Batman vs. Superman) has the same opening date as Captain America 3 (May 6, 2016). And with all of the praise for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, it’s easy to see how many people are anticipating the third installment. So lets look at the major question surrounding this game of chicken, and the reasons why NONE of it matters in the end.
