There is a God!

If you aren't at least mildly aroused right now then you have no soul. Finally we will see some iconic DC characters grace the big screen. Aquaman, Flash, and of course Wonder Woman have long deserved solo flicks of their own. ( I mean Marvel's had a goddamn tree and a talking raccoon already).

When rumors a few months ago speculated that the Warners' movie slate would have films adapted from the likes of the Metal Men and Doom Patrol, but not Wonder Woman, I lost my shit (there is a podcast recording to prove it). Diana is the most well known female superhero in the world and finally WB wised up and green light her a movie. Thank god!

Besides Wonder Woman (and of course B vs S) I am definitely most excited for Suicide Squad in 2016. People love interesting villains. And I have been waiting for a villains solo movie for some time. I initially loved the idea of the Sinister Six film planned by Sony. That was until I saw Paul Giamatti's terrible Rhino and Jamie Foxx's lameass Electro. Now after Amazing Spiderman 2's lukewarm reception all those planned films are up in the air. So it's great that WB will start the comic movie villain genre with the Squad. This movie will have a completely different dynamic than the rest on this DC list. The general audience will be cheering for 6 villains with wacky interplay. As they go against an impossible task while also going head to head with (a hopefully fat) Amanda Waller. And of course shit always goes bad for Task Force X. Can't wait!

NOW LETS RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

Is The Rock Playing Shazam?

While being interviewed by Total Film, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson teased his DC movie role. Check out the clip.

Sure sounds like he'll be playing Shazam. Personally I would have rather seen him play John Stewart. Guess we will hear the official announcement at San Diego Comic Con and form an opinion then.

Geoff Johns has been shoving the character of Shazam down the throats of DC fans for the last year and a half or so. First he takes Aquaman's place in Justice League: War and now he gets his own movie before someone like Wonder Woman. What is DC's thought process there? While I will say Johns did a good job reinventing Shazam's origins in the backup pages of the Justice League comic, I still do not wish to see the character on the roster of the live action Justice League. He still is far too similar to Superman and there are many characters that are much more deserving of a place on the team instead of Billy Batson. I'm looking at you Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Flash. Shazam just doesn't deserve his own big screen adaption even if he is being played by a big box office draw like the Rock. I hope that if this movie does exist that the character will still sit out of the first Justice League. Quit fucking with the League's roster Geoff. Except when you added Lex in the comics that was cool.

Cyborg Has Been Cast For Batman vs. Superman!

Variety has the obtained the exclusive scoop that Ray Fisher, a mostly unknown actor, will be playing the role of Victor "Vic" Stone/Cyborg in Batman vs. Superman. Their source suggests Cyborg's role in Batman vs. Superman will be small, but he will "become a much more significant role as Warner and D.C. develop more films related to the Justice League Universe." So maybe we will see Vic suit up for a high school football scene. I know Shazam would sure be happy with that scenario because he, like everyone else in the DC universe, follows high school football very closely. But really this is exciting news. This confirms Cyborg will be a part of the future Justice League films. That though leads to the question who does that leave out? Will my boy Martian Manhunter have to sit on the sidelines for a few films? Possibly, anyone but holy trinity is fair game to be cut from the squad. So get your ass back in game shape Hal Jordan. You are replaceable. Batman vs. Superman is filming now.
