Top 5 Stories For The Week Ending 08/02/2013



X-MEN: Trask Viral Site Is Up! New Info, Videos & Pics With Peter Dinklage & Sentinels!
The viral marketing web site for Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Days of Future Past" is one of the best I've ever seen in quite some time. A novel concept when first introduced, viral marketing has become a bit stale over the last couple of years. Kudos to Singer and Fox for simply not phoning it in on the upcoming X-Men flick.

THE FLASH Heading To The Small Screen From The Team Behind ARROW
The Flash is coming to (Green) Arrow's Starling City. (Unfortunately) The man under the mask will be Barry Allen, not Wally West. Damn you New 52, where's my Wally? Moving on, the character's storyline will reportedly contain elements of Geoff Johns' Flash: Rebirth with The CW network eyeing the speedy superhero character for a potential spinoff drama.

Director Edgar Wright Says Ultron Was Never A Part Of His ANT-MAN Movie
It should be no secret at this point that Ultron will be the primary villain of Joss Whedon's sequel to "Marvel's The Avengers". However, some fans thought the robotic menace would turn up in Edgar Wright's "Ant-Man" movie because, lets fact it, Ant-Man doesn't have the greatest rouge's gallery. If it's not Ultron, is it Egghead...?

Zack Snyder Meeting With Frank Miller To Discuss BATMAN/SUPERMAN Movie
At San Diego Comic-Con, director Zack Snyder went on record to confirm that the follow up to "Man of Steel" will be inspired by Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns". Naturally, it makes sense that Snyder will be meeting with Miller in the coming weeks but to discuss what exactly is anyone's guess. There's also unconfirmed rumors making the rounds that Warner Bros. and Zack want an older and more experienced Bruce Wayne/Batman to counterbalance the youthfulness and inexperience of Henry Cavill's Superman.

Brand New THOR: THE DARK WORLD Poster Drops
Marvel Studios has debuted a new poster for "Thor: The Dark World" which features the whole cast in a nice collage. Poor Heimdall has a hard time making friends at school it seems as he's left on the outside of the group.

Just Missed The Cut:
Aoshi Shinomori And Sōjirō Seta Cast In Live-Action RUROUNI KENSHIN Sequel
Jaume Collet-Serra Once Again In Talks To Helm AKIRA

They should use a younger Batman since Cavil is still inexperienced.....Bruce wayne should be Batman For 2-3 yrs in the sequel. Josh Brolin should play Thomas Wayne in Flashpoint if they ever adapted it but for the sequel I would like to see Luke Evans,Garrett Hedlund or Matt Bomer as Bruce.

Flash (Barry Allen)on tv? It's the way to go, so I'm in, and then the same Flash take a Jump to movies (J. L.) did you guys remember Stark Trek?
Older Batman for the first superheroes meeting? Worst idea or suggestion ever.
Sorry, I don't care about Thor.
I'm excited about XMEN, Wolverine's final was suppaduppa!!! althought the movie itself was... Not what I expect :(.

Barry Allen is way better than Wally.

And if WB is reading this, reconsider this old Batman thing. He doesn't have to be older to tell Clark he doesn't know what he's doing.

now how the [frick] are they going to do the special effects needed for a Flash show. Smallville's super speed looked [frick]ing terrible half the time and they barely even had the budget for it
