SHAZAM! (Teaser Trailer)

Finally a DC film that doesn't look to be so dark and gritty. In fact, SHAZAM! looks like it may actually be fun and lighthearted.

SHAZAM! is set to open April 2019.

Review: LEGO Batman: The Penguin Face Off

If you're looking for a fun, simple, LEGO set than you honestly can't go wrong with LEGO Superheroes 76010 Batman: The Penguin Face Off

Now this probably looks like a lot of little pieces, but it's really not. This set can be built in less than 15 minutes; probably less if you don't have issues with the torpedo installation as we did.

(Honestly this as far as this torpedo will go)

When it comes to Mini Figures, LEGO never disappoints; well normally. The Batman mini figure is top notch; great detail, mobility, a true mini figure. The Penguin mini figure on the other hand is a different story. The detail is there, however Penguin's legs are a solid immobile piece, and when you add his umbrella and remote, he falls over! Do enjoy the fact that they did make sure he was at least shorter than Batman.

This is a shot of Batman's Scuba Vehicle completed; note that the torpedoes are to be launched by flicking the back end (however with our particular set, this ain't happening because those things are jammed in there good).

But on the plus side, Batman looks pretty awesome on it.

Who doesn't love the Duck Boat? And again, so quick and easy to build (also has working flick torpedoes).

Duck Boat also allows for a place to stand Penguin with the umbrella and remote in tow.

Additional building pieces allow for you to build two of Penguin's infamous dynamite packing penguins and a small little snow cap with diamond. Also included in the set is a spear gun for Batman's use.

For an overall score, we'd give this set a 4 out of 5. A wonderful addition to any LEGO Batman collection.

Got to admit this is a pretty awesome looking Joker; cool looking Batman in the background too.

Valiant Comics To Relaunch In 2012

In a press release on 12/8/11 Valiant Entertainment has announced the relaunch of Valiant Comics.

To kick things off for Valiant, the company is set to release comics for Free Comic Book Day (May 5, 2012) which will feature some of Valiant's big names; X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, and Harbinger.

After Free Comic Book Day, Valiant promises to place many exciting comics on shelves on a monthly basis.

Live Action WildC.A.T.S Movie

Okay so this isn't something that's actually happening, but this is something I really would die to see; I grew up on the WildC.A.T.S cartoon and have quite an extensive collection of their comics, so I'm kinda a big fan.

This would also be a good opportunity to get another superhero team out there to compete with Marvel's X-Men or Avengers, and maybe even give DC a little bit of a push towards silver screen dominance (if done right that is).

It's not like the entire team is made up of unknowns either. Grifter just appeared in the Lois Lane Flashpoint series and now has a solo series that premiered with DC's New52 lineup, as does Voodoo.

In the past members Zealot, Spartan, and Warblade have also had their own individual series, so fans have had other opportunities to get to know these characters as well.

The only thing I ask is that WildC.A.T.S. creator Jim Lee gets final say in everything; script, actors/actresses, music, EVERYTHING. Jim Lee knows his creation, so it's only fair that he gets final say.

Now to find a way to make this happen...hmmm...

Anyone else out there like to see a live action WildC.A.T.S. film?

This week was my week to shine. After discussing several different series with some of the regulars, we ended up on the topic of the Marvel Civil War.

Now I haven't read every single issue of the Civil War series, but I have read enough to know what happens. So for 20 minutes or so, the floor was all mine. It was kinda nice because usually I'm the one getting schooled.

Of course the whole time I was talking I was sifting through the freebies, which I scored pretty well on (well a particular Daredevil / Shi issue anyways).

And here's the rest of the swag...
