NightWing End of a legend

Every Wednesday DC comics releases a new comic book issue of a series. Today NightWing #30 was released wedsnesday marking the end of the hero's run as th masked vigilante known as NightWing . Now for thoses who do not keep up or have time lets chat about who Nightwing is and the events that have led to this last issue. I mentioned before that in 2011 Dc decided to revamped their characters origins an new adventures as well as new looks. This little marketing stint was called the New 52 Dick Grayson better known as nightwing had some pretty dark adventures away from the Batman Family. I know your wondering " Who the hell is Nightwing?" Before Nightwing there was Robin the boy wonder Batman's first sidekick. Robin first appeared in Detective Comics #38 in April 1940 then as Nightwing in Tales of the Teen Titans #44 in July 1984. Richard John "Dick" Grayson was the youngest for the acrobatic family the "flying Graysons", Dick witnessed a mafia boss murder his parents to exort money from the circus they worked with. Bruce Wayne took him in as his legal ward. Thus the Dynamic Duo was born Batman and Robin became an unstoppable force during Dicks teen years. Once he got older Dick spent more time as leader of the Teen Titans. He later became leader of the Outsiders as well following the events of the Storyline " Batman: Knightfall", Grayson takes the mantle of Batman while Bruce was recovering from a broken back and spirit. Bruce considers Dick as his apparent heir to the c ape and cowl,Grayson had temporarily replaced bruce as batman in Robin # 0 in october 1994 throughout the Batman : Prodigal storyline. Then from 1996 until 2009 he becomes protector of Bludhaven, Gothams crime ridden neighboring city. After the complete destruction of Bludhaven, caused by Deathstroke Nightwing relocates to New York. The events of "Batman R.I.P." and Final Crisis , Dick is forced to move operations to protect the city following Bruce's apparent death. Despite Bruces will not to take the mantle of the Dark Knight the chaos tearing Gotham's soul forces Dick to take his mentor's identity as batman even making Bruce and talia al ghul's Son Damian Wayne his robin in honor of his fathers legacy. Bruce does eventually return from the dead Grayson goes back to being Nightwing after acting as batman along side his mentor with Batman INC. It is the Events of "Forever Evil" that had caused Dick to retire his superohero identity but it is also a order by batman to go off grid. Fear not my friends DicNightwing may be gone but Dick Grayson will be returning in a new series titled Grayson. The new series will have Dick working for an organization and he will be armed with gun going against one of the Dark Knight 's rules no guns ever. But will Grayson become a government assassin or will stay as an undercover agent for batman with different rules? In closing I say farewell to Nightwing but look forward to following agent Grayson.

Xmen Days of Futures Past Review

Is the Future really set? Can we change history These are some of the questions an themes presented in Bryan Singers film Xmen Days of futures paast based on the amazing 1981 Chris Claremont and John Byrne Story arc of the same name. Now this story has been retold different in the 90 series which I and many other fans old an new loved the mutant Bishop who is excellently potrayed by Omar SY is sent into the past to prevent the fatal future that he lives in. Many who have read the issues or seen the series knows that it takes place in a dystopian future where mutants are placed in internment camps that many of Xavier's team has been killed and only few are left the main threat beside humanity are the towering robot hunters the Sentinels created by Dr Bolivar Trask of Trask industries . In the original story Kate Pryde transfers her mind into her younger body to present day kitty Pryde to bring the Xmen to prevent a fatal moment in history. Now on to the film  having watched all 6 previous film this film was 14 years in the making was the best Xmen movie hands down it hit on all cylinders and yes I'm going to say it is up there with the avengers you may disagree I thought it was done well. The film is very cerebral (no pun intended) I left the theater amazed and had that feeling of waiting for Saturday morning with huge bowl of cereal to wait and see what the Xmen had to face this time. Hugh Jackman has finally grown into the role of wolverine many believe he is an overused fan favorite could be true but I disagree wholeheartedly he gave us the wolverine we all wanted for this movie. Peter Dinklage can not be stopped he has mastered the the craft . Jennifer Lawrence showed true homage to Rebbecca Romans Mystique you saw the anger and emotion that pulled her character right off the pages. Sir Patrick Stewart an Sir Ian Mckellen what can I really say gentleman well done. Jame Mcavoy and Micheal Fassbender both brought that 70's swag and brought the true anger and emotion to their already broken relationship I still felt  the presence of their first class friendship/rival its like you never left them in the past Nicholas Hoult as a young Beast outstanding. Now the bridging of the  Generational gap in the movie was amazing  my sister who is a child of the 70's felt right at home which I think was the general problem that most people had with it  they couldnt relate to the music or the clothes which brings me to Quicksilver most people hated his outfit it was the 70's my  friends kids dressed that way. Did Quicksilver steal show? I can say that not one actor stole the show they all delivered I loved Evan Peters quicksilver he brought  the right one liners I didnt have a problem with his speed most older fan did I thought it was great to keep the pace of the movie going .

Now Ive heard and read problems with the continuity of the films I'll just say this if your looking for this to be exactly like the original story  you will be disappointed if your looking for exact chronological event throughout every single movie then you will not enjoy this if your a true diehad when it comes to comic book movies Im sorry to say this may not do it for you because your expecting way to much of a film that already does what it needs to do. This movie met all my expections you cant always have something so perfect but it was amazing. This movie was Bryan Singers comeback movie an he came back with a vengence and brought things full circle. The Cameos where great as well play close attention see who you can spot and the events of the film brought history into the mix which I loved. The second timeline of the 70's made me feel like I got a glimpse of what my sister had as a child and I appreciated it  more. But of course I only wanted to see one other thing in the Post credit scene but  beside that epic my friends so in closing I saw no real flaws with the film it did what it  had to.

I closing if  I had to rate this Id give it 5 out of 5 stars and I would recommend it to all fans of the comics the series and even fans of some of the films because most hate Xmen 3 Origins and The Wolverine but I would say go see it for yourselves you be the judge but I do highly recommend it.

The Dark Knight VS. The Man of Steel

r

With The Man of Steel sequel approaching in 2016 I thought I would take the time to share some of my predications for the film as well as discuss the age long debate can Batman beat Superman? and why does this universal debate continue? the question that will also be raised for superhero fans and non superhero fans alike why reboots? are they necessary or a big waist of time and energy are they more effective in comics or do they make bigger impressions on film? so to get the ball rolling we shall start with what we know so far about the film beside there being a new man under the cape an cowl we will have the trinity also known as Batman Superman and Wonder Woman as well as Cyborg in the mix if we look back to Man of Steel Kal -el was coming into his own accepting his true calling and having an earth shattering battle which ripped through metropolis like tissue paper. The ending battle resulted in the Death of general Zod. With the destruction of a Wayne

Tech satellite and a few Lexcorp properties we learn that the military has Superman under surveillance because they still do not trust him and are trying to find where he hangs his cape at night a quick line about growing up in Kansas how much American can he get the man of tomorrow flies off. Our Hero Kal-EL also know as Clark Kent decided to find a job where he could keep his ear to ground where no one would suspect him as he is welcome to the "planet" by Lois Lane Clark responses "good to be here Lois." So I believe that obviously the Destruction of the Satelite will come to Bruce waynes attention as well as having to help rebuild metropolis but luthort will not be so forthcoming. I don't believe he will be visiting with the batsuit unless he goes to investigate the suspicious activities that connect to Lexicorp bring on the younger and Cunning Lex Luthor who will most likely dodge all accusations fired at him by Mr.Wayne. Looking at the suit we have seen on the internet of Affleck we know he will probab buly be the seasoned veteran crime fighter and the worlds greatest detective an this suit will only give us a slight connection to the Dark knight trilogy where we last left Bruce wayne who seem to have settled with selina kyle and his manor used to housed the misfortunate an orphaned youth of gotham city but a repaired batsignal on the top of Major Crimes unit building and former officer Robin John Blake standing in the Batcave "rising" into the darkness. Now all this aside in Frank Millers 4 issue 1984 The Dark Knight returns batman has retired gone for 10 years crime in his city has gotten worst crime has taken the souls of the innocent the joker is in a catotonic state harvey dents face an mental state are rehabilitated. Breaking his promise of never again to jason todd the second robin brutally murdered by the joker the caped crusader returns reborn but more volient less reserved superman on the other hand works for the president dealing with the impeding threat from the russians cause them to launch a cold bringer causing a EMP knocking out the entire city and causing very little sunlight this event calls for batman to be the only symbol for law and order. Because his reluctance to heed supermans warning telling bruce to go back in to retirement. The man of steel is called to stop batman peacefully at first until batman throws the first punch with the help of an older one armed green arrow hitts superman with a kryptonite projectile which goes into his lungs not deadly batman tells clark to remember in his private moments to remember the one man who beatman had created an exo suit which gave bruce strength that equalled to supermans to match him in a hand to hand fight but how will this battle transalate to film? synders man of steel didnt have kryptonite as a weakness he was weakened by kryptonian atmospherics. The two titans will battle like lex wants them to where he can finish his secret project which could involve doomsday or the opening of a boom tube to bring darkseid to the the table bring the justice league. Rumor had it that batman would be controling a handful of robots which is straight from the pages of Alex Ross kingdom come where bruce doesnt wear a costume an he is still know as the bat this week kevin smith gave insight into the   color of the batsuit he said pick up the dark knight returns issue hunt the dark knight and those are the colors he will be wearing his blue and gray batsuit a classic idea and we have the annouced title of the film Batman V Superman :Dawn of justice the title hints at the rise of the justice league. As i think about the title doesnt bother me much i am concerned with how people tend to bash acharacter when they are protrayed by another actor i have been guilty of this and now choose to reserve judgment until i can see a final product. Now about 3 years ago Dc came up with the Idea to retell and reboot their characters and stories this marketing strategy was dubbed the new 52 referring to the 52 alternate earths / timelines  in the DC universe. The new 52 origin of the justice league with it founding members at each others throats and not knowing each otherthis was put into the animated film justice league war which wasnt as great as the story or the flashpoint paradox flim and story which where both great stories . SO are reboots really necessary in some cases you could say yes i believe that after the franchise killing fancamp of batman and robin they needed new life and to bring fans back same with superman after weak attempt of superman returns so yes some reboots are needed . Where Dc fell off the map and marvel reign supreme there timeline of solo films to build into the avegers we see how that turned out pretty damn well. Now in terms of rebooted comics some a great especially for the younger generation of fans reboots for movies like spiderman are great but i was born in 1989 im a late80's early 90's comic book tv series geek im Pre new 52 and pre marvel Now . I wont go to far into the age longe debate of who would win with batman vs superman i am a fanboy of both but i favor bats so i wont make this one sided depending on whos writing the story and the scenario but logically Superman could crush batman and it pains me to say that. From comics stand point 9 times out of 10 batman takes it as i close i hope that this film will meet all fans expectations both old and new and that justice league will shock all the haters. Whatever you think might happen feel free to let me know in a comment Thanks for taking time out.

First look Ben affleck in the Batsuit

Ever since the annoucement of this epic event of the Dark Knight taking on The man of steel in the Man of steel sequel dubbed Batman VS Superman many fans like myself became skeptical after the casting decision of Ben affleck as the world greatest detective. This new film set to debut in 2016 this will be the unofficial origin story  of the justice league i believe  which will set the stage for the justice league movie set to release 2018 which will  also be directed by zack synder as well. But today after hearing the Rants of Kevin Smith on how epic the New batsuit looks we get a first look of the image tweeted by Mr.Synder of Affleck suited up next to the new batmobile. Just looking at the Image you can tell the inspiration of the outfit and it looks great  check out the link.http://www.hypable.com/2014/05/13/batman-vs-superman-batmobile-official-image/
It is directly out of the pages of Frank millers The Dark Knight Returns and i Praise Mr. Synder the batmobile looks like a mixture of the Tumbler from the Nolan Triology as well as Burtons 1989 Batmobile and i am sold Mr. Affleck looks ready to take on Cavils man of steel an looking forward to seeing them both suit up. I am also looking forward to seeing miss Gal Gadots Wonder Woman as she will be making an appearance in the film an the take on cyborg as well I hope that Afflecks performance will match the suit because the cowl doesnt define the man.
