Comic Book Movie News Part One.

     Hey guys Sorry for getting this news out to you late. I've been very busy lately but I've got some time on my hands now. I want to give you my thoughts on all the comic book movie news that has been reported over the past few months.

       I think I'm going to do this blog in two parts. This part I will do mainly about DC and the news that they released, and the next part will be about Marvel so let's start this off.

     In March of 2016, we get Batman V. Superman Dawn of Justice. I'm still skeptical about this. I'm still not sure about Ben Affleck as Batman, I'm even more skeptical about Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. Warner Brothers can't afford for this movie to fail so it will be interesting to see if this movie succeeds. In August we get a Suicide Squad movie. The cast was recently announced, Margot Robbie will play Harley Quinn, Will Smith will play Deadshot, Tom Hardy will be Rick Flagg, Jai Courtney will be Boomerang, Cara Delevingne will play Enchantress, and Jered Leto will be the Joker. I'm excited to see Leto and Robbie work together as the Joker and Harley Quinn. We finally get to see Harley Quinn make her big screen debut. She's such a great villain in the Batman universe, and it will be interesting to see how this movie affects the DC universe in the long run.

     In 2017 we finally get a stand alone Wonder Woman movie starring Gal Gadot. I'm skeptical about this casting as well because she's a model not an actress. The fact that we're getting a stand alone Wonder Woman movie leads me to believe that her role in Batman V. Superman will be a cameo. Later in 2017 we get Justice League Part 1. If the previous movies are successful, I will be excited for this. If Ben Affleck can pull of Batman, this movie will work.

     In 2018 we get a Flash movie. The Flash is one of the coolest heroes in the DC universe. I havn't seen the Flash TV show that's on right now, but I've heard good things. I don't know if the actor who plays Barry Allen on the show will play him in the movie adaptation, but I'll be interested to see this movie. Later in 2018 we get an Aquaman movie with Jason Mamoa playing Aquaman. I always thought Aquaman was weak. Jason Mamoa will make him cool. I have not read the new DC comics, but I heard they make Aquaman a lot cooler than he has been in the past. Mamoa is the perfect choice for this role. 

    In 2019 we get Shazam! starring The Rock. I'm not a fan of The Rock, I don't know a lot about Shazam!, I'll have to wait until 2019 to figure out what this is. Later in 2019 we get Justice League part 2.  
 
    In 2020, we get a Cyborg movie. I don't know anything about the actor playing him. Because on his IMDB page it says he's only been in two things. One of them in Batman V. Superman so fifty percent of his filmography isn't even out yet. Finally in 2020 Green Lantern gets his shot at redemption. My question is he in the first two Justice League movies or will he be introduced in this movie? The way to make this movie good is have him fight Sinestro right away.   

     So those are my thoughts on DC's lineup. I'll write my thoughts on Marvel and the news that they have released over the past few months. This is a great time to be a fan of comic book movies.
