Blu Review: Lego Batman: The Movie - Super Heroes Unite

30 May 2013 9:06 PM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »

Not content to just be plain old building blocks, the Lego brand has grabbed up licenses to create products based on everything from Star Wars to Harry Potter and competitors Marvel and DC Entertainment. What was once just a toy has transformed into an animated phenomenon that simultaneously lampoons and pays homage to the biggest franchises in pop culture.

There have already been a couple Lego Star Wars movies and a new TV show entitled Lego Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles. Anyone who casually keeps up with the world of children's programming and toys knew it would only be a matter of time before the super hero industry got in on the Lego animated action. DC Entertainment beat Marvel to the punch with Lego Batman: The Movie - Super Heroes Unite.

In a plot to get himself elected president, Lex Luthor joins forces with the Joker to build a »

'Britain's Got Talent' Live Show semi-final 2: Live Blog

28 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »

If you missed last night's first Britain's Got Talent semi-final, you missed a man dancing with a mop, Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden competing to flash the most cleavage and a splattering of underwhelming dancers and singers.

However, fear not, because we have high hopes that semi-final number two will erase all our memories of yesterday's horror show. Young comic Jack Carroll, Voice singer Alice Fredenham and likeable musicians Gabz and Modupe are all on the bill.

And for anyone who watches for the laughs rather than the talent, keep your eyes peeled for the so-bad-they-just-might-be-great Meat Diva. We have high hopes for the Cher/Meat Loaf/Freddie Mercury/Tina Turner impersonators.

Join Digital Spy from 7.30pm when the fun and games begin again on ITV.

20:56So, that was it, folks! Now it's time for your recap. Who do you think will be going through to the final? And »

Beautiful Creatures (Blu-ray/DVD + UltraViolet Digital Copy Combo Pack)

21 May 2013 2:53 PM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

Blu-ray Review

Beautiful Creatures

Directed by: Richard Lagravanese

Cast: Alden Ehrenreich, Alice Englert, Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis, Emmy Rossum

Running Time: 2 hrs 4 mins

Rating: PG-13

Due Out: May 21, 2013

“Beautiful Creatures ” available on Blu-ray Combo pack, DVD and Digital Download 5/21

Plot: A young man in South Carolina (Ehrenreich) falls for a new classmate (Englert) who has superpowers.

Who’S It For? The teen demographic is definitely the target of this film, as Beautiful Creatures features typical high school drama, and even extended make-out sessions. Driven by honest performances, this movie is for the supernatural-inclined young adult crowd who are at least somewhat familiar with Twilight, etc.

Read Nick’s interview with Actors Alden Ehrenreich and Alice Englert

Movie:

The most effective spell cast by Beautiful Creatures is indeed its two leading cast members, who are newcomers to the game of Hollywood moviemaking. Previously, Ehrenreich has only been scene in less mainstream »

Comic Book Review - Detective Comics #20

7 May 2013 11:18 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Robb Ghag reviews Detective Comics #20...

"The superhuman transformation of Ignatius Ogilvy is just the tip of the iceberg when an extremely unexpected character comes to The Penguin's aid!"

This one is it. The buildup over the past few issues with the rise of Emperor Penguin (Ignatius Ogilvy) and the fall of Oswald Cobblepot finally gets some closure. Somewhere caught in the middle is Batman. If you recall in the last issue (which would have been the 900th issue of Detective Comics prior to the New 52 reboot), we saw that Ogilvy had unleashed the Man-Bat serum on Gotham. When freeing the city we saw a glimpse of Ogilvy with Poison Ivy, and in this issue we find out why.

I was skeptical while reading this story arc, as quite frankly the Penguin (Emperor or otherwise) has never been the most interesting character in Batman’s rogue's gallery in my opinion. However, »

'Amazing Spider-Man 2' writers defend multiple villains

7 May 2013 1:28 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »

The writers of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 have defended the inclusion of multiple villains.

Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci have promised that Electro, the Rhino, Norman and Harry Osborn are all "essential" to the Sony Pictures film's plot.

"I think you have to go into it and say, 'Is this character essential to the story or are you just throwing him in for no reason whatsoever?'" Kurtzman told MTV.

Various superhero movie flops are widely considered to have suffered from the inclusion of too many villains.

Batman and Robin featured Poison Ivy, Mister Freeze and Bane, while Spider-Man 3 was crowded by Venom, the Sandman and the Green Goblin.

Kurtzman and Orci worked on the script of the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is scheduled for release on May 2, 2014.

'Amazing Spider-Man 2' Screenwriters Promise The Villains Are 'Essential'

6 May 2013 12:30 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

by Brett White

Ever since Batman teamed up with Robin and Batgirl to take on Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy and Bane in 1997's "Batman & Robin" (a film that still exists despite fandom's constant attempts to erase it from existence through sheer force of will), fans have equated crowded superhero sequels with bad superhero sequels. With "The Amazing Spider-Man 2's" cast ballooning to include not only Jamie Foxx as Electro, but Paul Giamatti as Rhino, Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn and Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn, fans have gotten a bit worried about the follow-up to last summer's delightful hit, "The Amazing Spider-Man."

But fans should have no fear, because "Amazing Spider-Man 2" screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci know what they're doing. MTV News caught up with the writing team at the premiere of their latest film, "Star Trek Into Darkness."

Is Batgirl Coming To Injustice: Gods Among Us?

3 May 2013 12:37 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

With the release of the first piece of Dlc for Injustice: Gods Among Us arriving on May 7th in the form of Lobo, fans are now wondering who they can expect to see with the game’s second offering of downloadable content. Though many characters have been rumored, we’re now hearing that the next new name added to the game’s roster may be Batgirl.

According to some screenshots and a video obtained by GameInformer, there is some definite proof that Batigirl may indeed be the next Dlc option. This hasn’t been confirmed officially, but the evidence is there and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the character show up when NetherRealm Studios announces the next piece of Dlc for Injustice: Gods Among Us.

Honestly, if this is true, then I feel the same way about it as I did about Lobo. While it’s not exactly a bad choice for Dlc, »

Batman & Fiends Enshrined in 'Haunted Arkham Asylum' Portraits

24 April 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »

 

If you've been to Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, you've probably seen the famous “stretching portraits,” a series of paintings which expand to reveal hidden images. That display inspired artist Abraham Lopez to create similar portraits of iconic Batman characters – including The Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and of course Batman's own team – for his work “Haunted Arkham Asylum.”   Recently Laughing Squid showcased Lopez's four panels alongside the Disney Originals (shown above, designed by Marc Davis and painted by Clem Hill) for comparison, and the scenarios are a dead-on homage: Harley balanced over Killer Croc, The Joker holding Scarface, Ivy perched on Ra’s Al Ghul's tombstone, and the Batman family sinking into a pool of Clayface.   More of Lopez's excellent work can be found at his DeviantArt and Tumblr pages. »

Incredibly Fun Batman Art Inspired by Disney's Haunted Mansion

23 April 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

One of my favorite things about riding Disney's The Haunted Mansion is all the awesome creepy art that you see throughout it. The first experience you have when entering the mansion is getting on an elevator, and as it lowers the pleasant looking portraits on the wall stretch out to reveal that they are actually nightmarish. 

DeviantArtist ArtistAbe was inspired by those portraits and decided to create this awesome set of Batman portraits for your enjoyment! This is sure to put a smile on your face. 

The first picture shows Harley Quinn and Killer Croc, the second shows a pantless Joker holding Scarface, the third features Poison Ivy and Ra’s Al Ghul, and the fourth one shows the Batman family as they sit on each other’s shoulders as they sink in a pool of the shape-shifting Clayface.

10 Directors Who Could Reboot Batman

11 April 2013 8:02 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

The Nolanverse has ended.

Despite rumors of Christian Bale’s return in a World’s Finest film, despite the rumors for a Nightwing or Catwoman film in the Nolanverse, it’s over. As fans, we need to accept that Nolan’s vision has reached its conclusion, and, regardless of whether you liked it or not, that chapter has ended.

Rumor has it that Batman’s future will involve him in a larger universe, a DC Cinematic Universe, along with Man of Steel and the inevitable Justice League film. The future Batman films will need to find a balance between the fantastic DC world and the more gritty, down-to-earth Batman universe. Whatever director comes Bats’ way will need to pick and choose which elements of the Batman lore will work in their cinematic universe. They need to be distinct from Nolan’s films, but not distinct just for the sake of being distinct. »

Superhero Movies Assemble!

8 April 2013 9:02 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Superhero movies have quickly went from a niche market to the most successful films in the world. In 2012 there were five big superhero movies, excluding the comic book inspired Men in Black III and straight-to-dvd releases like Punisher: Dirty Laundry. The five movies were The Amazing Spider-Man, The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and Dredd 3D. The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises alone made over $2.5 billion combined. I want to examine how this previously nerdy genre suddenly caught fire and exploded into mainstream popularity.

Superhero movies are nothing new, the first can be traced back to Superman and the Mole Men in 1951. The first successful superhero movie was the 1966 Batman, based on the 1960’s television series starring Adam West. Then, of course, the hugely successful Superman movies arrived in the 1970’s and made Christopher Reeve a household name. The Superman movie warranted three sequels »

Comic Book Review - Detective Comics #19 (a.k.a. #900)

5 April 2013 8:33 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Robb Ghag reviews Detective Comics #19...

So this issue would have been the 900th issue of Detective Comics. It seemed a little nostalgic that while DC have rebooted the universe they still paid homage to the old issues, and remembered something as monumental as the 900th issue of Detective Comics with an 80-page spectacular containing a fold out cover by Jason Fabok showing a bloody and battle torn Batman with an army of Man-Bats descending upon him.

The main story continues where we left off from the latest Penguin storyline, as the newly self appointed Emperor Penguin has presumably released the Man-Bat serum in some way and infected the populace. The story takes place in the 900th block of Gotham, again paying homage to a historic milestone in Batman's history.  Also appropriate as the story is called 'The 900'.  John Layman takes us on a pandemic journey throughout Gotham where the »

Rethinking Mystery Men

22 March 2013 6:12 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Feature Aliya Whiteley 25 Mar 2013 - 07:12

In the aftermath of The Avengers, isn't the underrated 1999 superhero movie Mystery Men worth reassessing?

In 1999, between the body blow of Batman And Robin and the kiss of life that was X-Men, the superhero movie was temporarily revived by a loose adaptation of the Flaming Carrot Comics. It was called Mystery Men.

It was panned, lost a lot of money, and years later the lead actor announced that it had been a terrible movie and he was ashamed of it. All of this suggests that it should be pushed under the carpet and left to rot, but there are so many great things about Mystery Men that it really doesn’t deserve that fate, no matter what Ben Stiller says about it.

To start with the plot - at heart, Mystery Men is a film about all pulling together. It’s not a novel »

Elena Satine Joins The Sixth Gun

19 March 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »

According to Deadline Elena Satine has been cast as the “widow” Missy Hume in The Sixth Gun. Her character is described as "a powerful Madame who runs the town of Brimstone kept unnaturally youthful by being in possession of the Fifth Gun. A cold stunningly beautiful woman of great cunning, she is unafraid to use whatever means to collect all Six Guns for her own dark purposes." CBMers should recognize Satine from Smallville, in which she appeared as Aquaman's wife Mera for one episode, and since that the stunning actress has been fan cast as pretty much every red-headed female comic book character from Mary Jane to Poison Ivy! Satine also appeared in the first two season of Starz' Magic City and will star in the movie Beautiful Now in 2014. "During the darkest days of the Civil War, wicked cutthroats came into possession of six pistols of otherworldly power. In time »
