First Suicide Squad Footage Officially Released

David Ayer (Training Day) just dropped a bombshell on Twitter. The director has released the SDCC teaser trailer that was shown in Hall H on Saturday morning. Only select few were meant to see it, but due to so many low quality pirated versions online, Ayer decided to release the footage in a higher quality. Check the greatness.


Top 5

1. Jared Leto looks and sounds amazing. Dude is already a master creep. Scooper Supreme El Mayimbe has said his sources on the Suicide Squad set have told him that Leto is knocking this performance out of the park. This 5 seconds of him confirms that.

2. The Wall is The Wall. Viola Davis isn't playing it nice. She is gonna force these super criminals to do what she desires. Ever the antagonist.

3. Will Smith looks game for the first time in a long while. If 7 years ago, you told me Will Smith would be in a superhero movie not called Hancock I would have been a 100% in. But since around 2009, when Will stopped doing great movies and instead just started promoting his kids to the masses, I have been hesitant to be excited for any project he is in. Forget that shit. He looks like classic WS in these 3 minutes.

4. Big props to Killer Croc's look. When the first official pic came out I gave his practical design some shit. It looks much better on film than I anticipated.

5. Margot Robbie is the X-Factor. She could become the next Groot or Rocket if the movie does well. So far from what we have seen, I'm digging her portrayal.

Bonus: Jai Courtney didn't suck! Letting Aussie be an Aussie was a good idea.

Thanks for reading! What did you think of the footage? Specifically the Joker. Sound off in the comments or tweet us  @Caped_Informers or me @cstrand73. And make sure to tune in for all our TV + movie reviews. as well as our editorials.

Arrow "The Brave and The Bold" Review

Team Flash heads over to Starling City to help Team Arrow take on a former Suicide Squad member in the second part of the epic Flash/Arrow crossover. (Spoilers!)


Hight Points:

  • Nick Tarabay's Captain Boomerang is a savage (One of the tougher villains)
  • Excellent action as always
  • Backstory for Boomerang includes Suicide Squad
  • Barry and Ollie have different philosophies on how to be a superhero
  • Supporting characters (Cisco, Felicity, Diggle, Caitlin, and Roy) add humor
  • "Bart Allen? Weren't you hit by a bus?" (O Captain Lance, you ball buster)
  • Oliver and his team witness how Barry's powers make everything easier
  • The Captain outmaneuvers Barry and Ollie (That isn't an easy task)
  • Flashbacks tied in nicely to tell us why Ollie operates the way he operates
  • Ollie learns from Barry, while Barry's squad learns from Team Arrow
  • Arrow uses his skill set, while Flash uses his to defeat Boomerang
  • Nice to hear that Deathstroke has a cellmate (expect that it is fucking Ashur)
  • Leaving the door open for a future team up
  • Practice Fight!!!!

The only reaction to seeing Barry and Ollie suited up together

Low Points:

  • Can't let this episode go by without mentioning Thea's new DJ boy toy
  • Boomerang puns are a little much
  • I don't know if you know, but Diggle and Lyla are not married (I wrote that comment before the ending, now don't I look like a jackass)
  • Hey Ollie you think Starling City is bad? Ever heard of Gotham?

Verdict: Like Ryan said yesterday "Everybody loves a good crossover". Part one of our two favorite TV heroes' worlds colliding did not disappoint. We got to see Ollie and Barry face off. The action was better than I imagined. Watching it happen was pure bliss. Like eating the perfect slice of pizza or coming home to an empty house where you can jerk off in peace. That being said I was wondering what the showrunners could do to top that? The answer, get a better villain so we could see Arrow and Flash in action together. Digger Harkness aka Captain Boomerang was tough foe who was both physically gifted and crafty. The mission to stop him showcased Arrow and Flash's different superhero philosophies. Which led to a rift between the boys in tights. In the end though they pulled it together where we saw an exciting conclusion that actually showed us Ollie and Barry stopping the bad guy together. Overall this crossover gave us the fans everything we wanted. Action, adventure, and a little romance (Diggle you dog :) ) These two shows have such different tones, but when they came together it was magic. Can't wait to see the next time the boys meet up. Overall I'm giving "The Brave and The Bold" a 9.0 out of 10. Just a real fun hour of television.


Ollie whenever Barry had an idea
Ryan WAS Wrong! (Not even surprised): You know Ryan does great work on this site. I love reading his The Flash reviews every week. But when someone is wrong, they are wrong. And I'm sorry to say that Ryan was incorrect. As much as I love Scooby and  The Gang, their crossover with the Harlem Globetrotters is not the greatest crossover of all time. Instead the greatest crossover has a trifecta of shows converging into one masterful episode of epicness. That show you may ask was That's So The Suite Life Of Hannah Montana. Raven, Miley, London Tipton, Zack, Cody, and Maddie Fitzpatrick all haning out in The Tipton Hotel!! You can't beat that no matter how hard you try. Personally I want a reunion episode with this crew. Imagine this. Miley twerking on Marion Moseby, Zack sending Maddie dick pics, and Raven picking up chicks at the Tipton's hotel bar. Thinking about that reunion episode is what keeps me alive.

The truth hurts Ryan

Jesse Eisenberg in "Suicide Squad"; You Heard it Here First!

Throughout the entirety of my existence I have never been right about anything. So this is a big moment for me. Today Deadline is reporting that Jesse Eisneberg (Batman V Superman) is in talks to reprise his Lex Luthor in the upcoming Suicide Squad. Now yesterday I wrote a article in our Exploring the DCU series about how Luthor could be a solid antagonist in the upcoming David Ayer film. Never did I actually think his appearance would occur. Nor did I think about 13 hours after writing the article that my suspicions would be confirmed. I read WB's minds. Totally Nostrodamesd those motherfuckers. Guess everyone gets one right eventually, right? #HumbleBrag. Anyway Suicide Squad is expected in theaters August 2016. You can also click here to see my article about Luthor in Suicide Squad.

Better be bald by then
Today is a day where it should be celebrated that I write my stupidity on the internet. No need to thank me because I have already thanked myself. So just get on your knees and thank god that you have access to my dementia.


P.S.- Let's hope this steamy relationship starts up again. I'm getting flustered just thinking about it.

First Pic Of Superman Plus 3 Potential Villains For 'Batman V Superman'

USA Today has released the first image of Henry Cavill's Superman from Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Just in time for the 4th of July weekend! 'Merica!

He looks glorious in that slightly brighter suit. Also gotta love his new haircut. But the biggest takeaway from this picture is the background. Looks a hell of a lot like Gotham to me. Behind him you can see smoke stacks mixed with dark landscapes that all just reek of sadness. Must be in Gotham. Hope to see a big chunk of the movie set in that shithole of a city.


Latino Review's El Mayimbe has an exclusive about 3 villains, who will supposedly appear in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. There could be some potential spoilers so you will have to hit the read more to check it out!

Karl Yune Joins 'Arrow' For Season 3

Yesterday Matt reported that Arrow had officially cast Devon Aoki (Sin City) as Katana/ Tatsu Yamashiro, well today the show continued adding to its season 3 ensemble by bringing on actor Karl Yune (Real Steel). Yune will play Maseo Yamashiro who in comics is Katana's husband and a fellow martial artist. Both Katana and her husband Maseo will play large roles in season 3's flashbacks by training Oliver during his (Amanda Waller forced) stay in Hong Kong. The couple could also possibly show up in present day Starling.

It's great to see the new pieces of the season 3 puzzle start to come together. Trying to top last season's Deathstroke flashbacks will be tough, but I think Katana and Maseo are up for the job. I love the writing team bringing on less well known DC characters. Tatsu was really shining on Beware the Batman before that show was cut short, so I am happy to see her character get a live action treatment. Hopefully leading to her character gaining some much deserved popularity. Arrow comes back for it's 3rd season in the fall.

Soultakin' with Soultaker like a motherfucker! If someone from Starling's soul is not in the sword by the end of season 3, I will be disappointed (Cough* Amanda Waller * Cough).
