The Death Of Superman

You have an idea to make an awesome film and it never gets made? I´m talking about the Nicholas cage superman film directed by Tim Burton that was scrapped an replaced with Will smith´s flop Wild Wild West. With out going into it too far the ideas for this Film where amazing to the other that where not that great they extend from a robot that raises superman then forms to his suit giving him power or that same robot who turns itself into superman with his Father´s conscious or the three rules given to the 1st screenwriter Kevin smith number 1 superman can´t fly wait what? number# 2 No suit no red blue or yellow yeah sure and number#3 there has to be a Giant Spider ( sounds familiar looks familiar) that he has to fight what in the hell but Kevin did the script any then he was fired Warner Brothers wanted to go with Burton´s Version now after so many awesome art designs an awesome script an millions spent the project is just scrapped. If you guys have Showtime on Cable or Showtime on demand or it may be on Youtube. The documentary is called The Death of Superman Lives : What Happened? but I only mention this film because it was using the Death Of superman as a story line and its a great watch . Now Lets get in to the novel that changed everything in The DC Universe as we know it. During the time it was the 90´s and after the failure of Superman IV : The Quest for Peace comic sales at that time where failing miserably so DC decided to take desperate measures an Kill Superman and he was gone for a while. Writer Dan jurgens stated that the main problem with superman for him was that he never had a real enemy to really let lose and kick ass for city blocks so now we have coming to the city The Serial killer monster known as Doomsday now who in the hell is doomsday an why is he a threat lets chat guys. Originally known as "The Ultimate", Doomsday was born in prehistoric times on Krypton, long before the humanoid Kryptonian race gained dominance over the planet about 250,000 years ago. It was a violent, hellish world where only the absolute strongest of creatures could survive.[3][4] In a cruel experiment involving evolution, intended to create the perfect living being, the alien scientist Bertron released a humanoid infant (born in vitro in a lab) onto the surface of the planet, where he was promptly killed by the harsh environment. The baby's remains were collected and used to clone a stronger version. This process was repeated over and over for decades as a form of accelerated natural evolution. The agony of these repeated deaths was recorded in his genes, driving the creature to hate all life. As it evolved, the child eventually became able to survive the high temperatures and searing atmosphere, only to be quickly slain by the vicious predators that inhabited the planet. Over time, and without the assistance of Bertron's technology, he gained the ability to thrive on solar energy without the need for food or air, to return to life and adapt in order to overcome whatever had previously killed him. The Ultimate hunted and exterminated the dangerous predators of Krypton. He then killed Bertron himself, whom he had come to identify as an enemy.[3] The Ultimate escaped Krypton via a ship that regularly arrived to deliver supplies to Bertron (who had wanted little contact with the planet's natives) and went on a killing spree across several planets. It began 245,000 years earlier on Bylan 5, where Darkseid was about to wed a princess (in order to obtain that planet's chemical deposits for Apokolips' weapons factories). Just as the Ultimate and Darkseid were about to meet in combat, Darkseid was forced to flee, as the rampage of The Ultimate had caused the planet's atmosphere to become toxic, thereby rendering the chemicals worthless to Apokolips. The Ultimate hitched a ride on an escaping shuttle, which crashed on Khundia. The warring Khundian clans united in order to build protective armor for a warrior named Kobald, who they hoped would survive long enough to force the Ultimate onto a rocket. Once the rocket was in space, the Ultimate killed Kobald and the resulting explosion sent him hurling through space. He next crossed paths with a Green Lantern named Zharan Pel. The Ultimate took the Lantern's power ring and, sensing the power of the Guardians of the Universe, headed towards them. The hundreds of Green Lanterns that were sent to stop him were slaughtered. He continued to Oa, where a single Guardian sacrificed himself in battle to defeat him. The release of energies by the Guardian caused a tear in space through which the Ultimate fell. Eventually arriving on the planet Calaton, he ravaged that world for three years.[3] With only the capital city left, the royal family combined their life forces into a single energy being, the Radiant.[3][5] The Radiant killed the Ultimate with a huge blast of energy (laying waste to over a fifth of his planet in the process). In common Calatonian burial procedures, the Ultimate's seemingly dead body was suited and shackled to prevent his spirit from escaping into the afterlife, and he was shot into space because the murders he committed made him unworthy of burial on Calaton. Eventually, his metallic casket crashed on Earth, the force of the impact driving it deep underground. So thats a quick bio on the monster who murdered superman now the battle in a word is epic an it goes for blocks. It starts with Members of the justice league international team which is (Guy Gardner, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Maxima, Fire, Ice, and Bloodwynd) responds to a call from a smashed big-rig outside of Bucyrus, Ohio, and follows the trail of senseless destruction which leads them to a confrontation with the mysterious creature.It systematically takes the team apart, starting by throwing a tree trunk through their aircraft and finishing by punching Booster Gold into the stratosphere. Booster Gold is caught in mid-air by Superman, and declares "It's like Doomsday is here", giving the monster with a name. The Man of Steel arrives on the scene, having cut short a television interview with Cat Grant in Justice League America #69. He and the able-bodied League members follow the threat to the home of a single mother and her two children, where their battle with "Doomsday" destroys the house. The League attacks Doomsday with all their energy-projection powers; the only discernible effect is that much of his bodysuit is blasted or burned off. Doomsday again defeats the League, causes the house to explode into flames, and then leaps away. Superman follows, after saving the small family. Superman throws Doomsday into the bottom of a lake. After Doomsday escapes from the lake bed, he and Superman tear up a city street. Maxima then reenters the fray. Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen are sent to cover the battle for television, while Lex Luthor (then masquerading as his non-existent son "Lex Luthor II") dissuades Supergirl from joining the fight. The fight continues at a gas station, where Maxima rips a light post from the ground; the sparks from the wiring ignite the leaking gasoline and the station is destroyed in a huge explosion. Guardian arrives after Doomsday leaves, finding Superman and Maxima, and offers his help. Now listen this thing beat eight members of the league with one hand tied behind his back. Once the fight between doomsday an superman starts it literally has superman flying through Panels of the story buildings crumble an superman fights with all he has an he goes at full power because doomdays doesnt stop period. The Man of tommorrow who is looked as god is beaten to death along with Doomsday this shocked many fans an impressed many haters but it does it job of bring superman back in sense. Especially with the Reign of supermen story which shows Follows the three-month hiatus on the Superman titles, all of them were relaunched. Four new heroes emerged in Superman's place, one in each title, each claiming in some way to be Superman. The story of The Adventures of Superman #500 followed Jonathan Kent into the Afterlife. In a possible hallucination, he convinced Superman's soul to come back with him to the living. The only "evidence" that this was not a hallucination was the fact that shortly after Jonathan reawoke, four individuals arrived in Metropolis claiming to be Superman. This storyline was known as Reign of the Supermen!. Each of the Supermen were designed with ideas taken from some of the monikers that Superman is often associated with. The four new heroes were: The Man of Steel: John Henry Irons was an ironworker and an ex-weapons designer for the military who wears a suit of armor and wields a hammer. Of the four, he is the only one who did not claim the name of Superman, but rather that he represented the spirit of Superman and continued his legacy. Steel appeared in Superman: The Man of Steel, starting with #22. He later changed his name to just "Steel". The Man of Tomorrow, also called the Cyborg Superman, arrived with augmented Kryptonian technology. He is scientifically "proven" to be Superman, but claims amnesia in explanation to his part-mechanical nature. The Cyborg Superman appeared in Superman (vol. 2), starting with #78. After he was eventually revealed as former NASA astronaut Hank Henshaw, he later became a major supervillain. The Metropolis Kid, who hated being called Superboy, is a reckless teenage clone of Superman. This Superman appeared in The Adventures of Superman, starting with #501. Of the three Supermen with super powers, he was the only one that did not claim to be the real one. He is the result of the brief time Cadmus attempted to clone Superman. He later had a career as Superboy. The Last Son of Krypton was a visored, energy-powered alien who dealt with criminals lethally. The Last Son of Krypton appeared in Action Comics, starting with #687. He claims to have the memories of the original Superman, but his emotional distance makes Lois uncertain. He later was discovered to be the Eradicator, a reformed Superman enemy. Here is a picture of each

But the Death of superman is truly a work of art it will change how we see the Man of steel an you will fear doomsday he is the nightmare that no one can conquer even in his death he still did the one thing that even lex luthor couldnt accomplish he killed a god he took superman from us.  I recommend this story highly to all who are new or old fans of superman even to people who don´t like superman who may enjoy the beating he takes.

The Flash season 2 : Zoom is here

On this season of the Flash things have changed for Barry Allen at the end of his first season The flash had prevented the Singularity or black hole from consuming central but lives where lost Eddie Thawne the great great ancestor of Eobard Thawne also known as the reverse Flash who used the identity of Harrison Wells mentor to the Flash an the same man who murdered Barry´s mother shot himself causing wells to phase out of existence. The fiance of star labs scientist Caitlyn Snow Ronnie Raymond as firestorm sacrificed himself an separated with Professor stein which effects the doctor later on but he bonds to a new host. to stop the singularity it was successful. Enter season 2 The flash is more established an respected and celebrated as a hero but new challenges arise closing the singularity actually open a portal an 52 new breaches like it ( pun intended ) to another universe known as Earth 2 its villains have come to visit and have attempted to kill Barry and we see that there are heroes from this other Like earth 2 Flash is Jay Garrick who warn´s about the coming threat the man called zoom. Now season 2 started slow but that was to tie up loose end such as well´s admitting to murdering Barry´s mom an ultimately releasing Barry´s father from iron heights prison but he leaves without a real explanation which still bothers me. Recently Barry ran into a familiar DR. Harrison wells of earth 2 let the drama commence! The wells of earth 2 is still very suspicious but we have found out that zoom has his daughter Jesse Quick now this is interesting let me give you a quick run down on Jesse. Jesse is the Daughter of Johnny quick (not to be confused with the crime syndicate´s Johnny quick from earth 2) he was the golden age hero (appearing in more fun comics in 1941) Johnny Quick is in truth Mr. Johnny Chambers, a newsreel photographer for Sees-All/Tells-All News. He invokes his power by reciting a mathematical formula ("3X2(9YZ)4A") taught to him by his childhood guardian, Professor Gill, who had in turn derived it from inscriptions found in a Pharaoh's tomb. After learning the secret to gaining superhuman speed, Johnny chooses to work as a mystery-man. He Can move at very high speeds he has an invisible aura to protect his body and clothes against air friction he can sometimes use speed to engage in flight. He then marries Libby Lawrence. Her powers of enhanced speed, strength, and stamina were linked to the ringing of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Early in her mystery-woman career she had an arrangement with Tom Revere, a guard at the Liberty Bell. When she signaled him, he would ring the bell for her and trigger her powers. In her later years, after decades of super-strength and retarded aging, many began to theorize about the nature of her powers. Some believed the sonic vibrations of the bell triggered a meta human gene, some believed that it was mystical because Libby is connected to the power of the Spirit of America, like the hero Uncle Sam and General Glory. Most of Liberty Belle's heroic exploits took place during the Second World War, and she was one of the founding members (and later chairwoman) of the All-Star Squadron. In hopes of creating a successor, Johnny Quick taught the formula that gave him his enhanced speed to his daughter, Jesse. The formula worked on Jesse as well and she gained super-speed. Contrary to what her father had intended however, Jesse instead opted to continue her education, rather than becoming a costumed hero.Just like her father, Jesse has powers of flight and accelerated speed, resulting from the state of mind achieved from the visualization of the speed-formula: 3X2(9YZ)4A. Her powers are linked to the Speed Force. She also has her mother's super-strength, enabling her to lift great weights, such as a car, with ease. As with her mother, the mechanism of her super-strength remains unexplained, which irritated her father. She attributes her powers to a "mantra" like the formula used by her father to unlock his speed. Now that's a quick little bio on who Jesse is according to DC but on the show she is a hostage and seems helpless but we shall see what happens. So Barry decides to use his ex girlfriend Linda Park as bait after dealing with her earth 2 counter part Dr. Light to draw zoom out Barry got his wish and got a earth 2 ass kicking to remember Barry back was broken an he couldn´t feel his legs an speed was gone after zoom took his body around central city asking if This is your savior and that Zoom himself is the fastest man alive. The question from many who is Zoom? in the comics He is primarily associated with the superhero Wally West, the third Flash and is the third of the Reverse-Flashes. As Hunter Zolomon, he first appeared in The Flash: Secret Files & Origins #3 and was created by Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins. Here is his origin Hunter Zolomon had a troubled relationship with his parents, who rarely spoke to each other or to him. On the day Hunter was to leave for college, he came home to find the police laying siege to his house. His father was a serial killer who had killed six young girls, and when his mother told the police, his father murdered her, and was subsequently killed by the police after refusing to give himself up. Hunter became obsessed with understanding the criminal mind to stop people like his father, studying psychology and criminology in college, then joining the F.B.I. along with his girlfriend Ashley, whom he later married, specializing in low-level costumed criminals. One case resulted in Ashley's father being killed (Hunter had thought the criminal they were after was incapable of facing his adult life, and thus would not use an 'adult' weapon such as a gun). Ashley left him shortly thereafter, and the F.B.I. terminated his employment. Hunter was also left with a damaged knee due to the case, requiring a cane for walking and unable to ever run again. After arriving in Keystone City, he got a job as a profiler, working with the police in their Department of Meta human Hostilities. His work put him in constant contact with the Flash, Wally West, and the two became good friends. His insight was critical in solving a number of cases, but he always resented being stuck behind a desk. In terms of his abilities Zoom can alter time relative to himself, as opposed to using the Speed Force like most of the DC Universe speedsters do. He can apparently use this ability to move at "speeds" rivaling those of even Wally West, and usually "faster" than the speeds that even Wally can muster in most cases. Rather than actually time traveling, Zoom is controlling the speed at which time flows around him, allowing him to go faster or slower in time than everyone around him. Since Zoom is not actually moving at super speed (rather, he is greatly slowing down time relative to himself, and can make himself so "fast" that even most of the Flashes look to him to be moving in slow motion), the temporal nature of his speed allows him to avoid the usual problems encountered by other Flash-type speedsters (friction, seeing and hearing at such near-light speeds), whose automatic and unconscious use of the Speed Force overcomes those problems. As he is moving at a normal velocity, and the rest of the world is "slow", those hindrances simply do not affect him. This aspect also means that he is unable to become intangible like other speedsters can by vibrating their molecules at certain frequencies. Even if his powers are not tied to the Speed Force, he has twice shown the ability to grant super speed to other beings, granting Cheetah a speed rivaling Wonder Woman's, and restoring Inertia's speed, freeing him from his Speed Force-induced paralysis to turn him into his apprentice. This ability is related to the manipulation of the time stream, as he can allow others to tap into time through himself, and shut down this connection at will so in other words zoom is a problem and Barry is going to need all the help he can get. In tonight's episode we have a run in with Gorilla Grodd and Barry does get the use of his legs back an speed thank god for that we saw that Grodd wanted a family of his own so guess Barry speed force punches Grodd into Earth 2 an we see the Infamous Gorilla city we also see that Cisco´s vibes with miss Kendra Hall and her Future as Hawk Girl and we get to see Barry´s Dad who comes back as some great inspiration for his son to get back into the Game we also see that Wells may have had information on Earth 1 but we will have to see there is definitely more to earth 2 Wells then we know but that's Wells for you from either Earth. But the true highlight tonight came with the teaser for The December 1st episode where heroes join Forces The Green ARROW and his team will Fight alongside Barry and Other Heroes as well for two episode Going up against The One True Immortal the man himself Vandal Savage! if this doesn't excite you I don't know what to say all I know is I need time to speed up. This is a great time to be Comic Fan Indeed and I love every minute of these superhero shows and cant wait to see what happens next. Until Next Time This Everett Head of the Nation Signing Off.

Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice : What we know so far and what we may have missed

If you have not been keeping up or have not been to Comic con this year to see the second Trailer for Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice here's a link to see it then come back to this Blog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T89tvJTCohA  Now the Premise to this movie is straight forward despite massive fan theories. What we know so far is that many see superman as a God Like savior many disagree he is still answer for the destruction two years ago that was  caused by his battle with General Zod he killed to stop him from causing more Havoc. Now where does Bruce Wayne/ Batman fit in to this he was in Metropolis on his way to the Wayne Financial Building on the phone with someone in the building while it was destroyed by the two kryptonian's hence his anger an his rage kicking in.  Its been rumored and pretty much confirmed that Lex Luthor who not only has access to Zod´s  body and a huge slab of Kryptonite but  he is the  driving force that is manipulating both batman and superman causing their fight and its also the fact that Bruce states that superman has the power to destroy the world an he needs to be stopped.  We see Diana Prince and her alter ego Wonder Woman going to war but with Who? is she taking on the Dark Knight and the Man of steel at the  same time we shall see. Batman has a suit of armor that matches Superman´s strength but he doesn't seem to be at full power especially watching batman stomp him through a skylight. Now lets put theories to rest We Know batman has been Active for 20 years he is angry a veteran crime fighter who will also be in August´s Suicide Squad which acts as a prequel to dawn of Justice Amanda Waller needs the  joker because he is the only one who has encountered batman but does  The Wall need him what the motive for that .

We see in the Bat Cave there is a Robin suit with graffiti on it that reads ¨ Ha Ha Ha Ha The Jokes on you Batman¨ Jason Todd the Second Robin is dead and no He is not the Joker.  Someone is Taunting Bruce with the destruction  of  Wayne Financial  the news paper clipping was sent to Wayne at work written in Blood are the words you let your family die I'm pretty sure Luthor is more then capable of this. We haven't established a red hood  yet but its rumored that will be Ben Affleck´s solo batman film villain and it look like a big possibility.

 Luthor  seems to be  the current threat an is using  the trinity of heroes as pawn´s in his own sick game of cat an mouse Doomsday will not be  in the film all the special effects an CGI have been completed for the film sorry guys no Death of superman Arc yet.  Now many are still confused about the dessert scene an the Guards bowing to superman that is a nightmare sequence as well as a nod to the video game Injustice Gods Among Us its a  what could happen if superman goes rogue and is influenced by the wrong people. Now we  do not  really know what the  status of any of the other bat family member´s  an allies we know its just Batman and Alfred played by the awesome Jeremy Iron´s.  We also know that this new line up of films are all connected and are canon to this particular movie universe which is amazing it means when hero´s are introduced to one another they are aware of each other in some way.  I know that  I have been waiting to see the first two heroes go at it an team up for years now an to see the Holy Trinity  on the Big Screen I hope you are ready for the brawl of the century.

Coming very soon March 25 2016 take that day off wear you super hero gear an geek yourself out to see this film in IMAX  I know  I will  get my  advanced tickets an will not be heard from until i see it at least twice  and  nerd rage everywhere this movie is going to give Marvel a  big hit to the chest you  mark my words.  It is Time for DC to reign an I say its About damn time.  But Until the next time

Arrow Season 4 : Enter the true HellBlazer

So this season so far of Arrow is starting to really pick up and the idea´s of mystics demon´s and messages from the dead are freaking me out but in the best way. Most series in their new seasons usually start of slow then by the holidays everything picks up before their untimely hiatus periods. Tonight was pretty wicked and seeing Sarah lance back from the grave an just a mindless ass kicking rage machine put a sick smile to my Face i thought that she would have went after her sister Laurel but the way the Lazarus pit works in this DC TV universe you come out the pit with a blood lust and its aimed at the person who did you harm before you enter the pit. I did enjoy tonight's fight scenes anything with Sarah is well done an we got to see Digneto! sorry Diggle working with Captain Lance after finding out that Lance is working for Dahrk the same man who is apart of the H.I.V.E organization that murdered Diggles brother Andrew the motive is still unknown as to why it happened but it does have to do with Andrew´s time in Afghanistan. So tonight we see that oliver while back on the island meets John Constantine the noted Exorcist and demonologist he was being tortured as usual for a ancient magical artifact an of course Oliver saves him from a death trap. With the current Sarah issue Constantine is called to help retrieve Sarah´s after some mind and body probing caused a fight against the league of assassins in sarah´s mind an it was pretty damn cool. John Does give sound advice to Ollie about Dahrk who he seems to know of and doesn't want to be caught dead dealing with he told Oliver to run an not look back but that was never Oliver´s style at all so in short if you aren't watching Arrow i say catch up an enjoy this episode was well done and it was Great to see Matt Ryan back as Constantine I forgot how good he was an it made me sad to see the show go but this episode brought my happiness back an hopefully we get to see more of Constantine of course a fan can dream but I recommend this episode to anyone new or old to the series. I cant not wait for next Wednesday especially seeing that Ray Palmer´s last message had another layer an he is MINIATURE!!! and Dahrk Has him Hostage I love how this show is slowly setting up Legends of Tomorrow in the Fall an it is going to keep getting better from here. This is Everett signing off keep enjoying the Show until next time, Everett Head of The Nation

Who is Jessica Jones?

Who is Jessica Jones? as many of you know Jessica Jones will be the next Netflix original series with all episodes ready to stream on November 20th so if you don´t have Netflix or you haven´t watched Marvels Dare Devil i suggest you do so. Jessica Campbell Jones Cage was created by writer Brian Micheal Bendis and artist Micheal Gaydos and first appeared in Alias #1 in November 2001 as a former superhero who becomes the owner an sole employee of alias private investigations. She also joined the new avengers with her husband Luke Cage in marvel´s 2010 Heroic age campaign. Jessica had also over time took the aliases Jewel, Knightress, and Power woman. Jessica Campbell was a midtown high student around the same time when Peter Parker was bitten by an irradiated spider which gave him his powers. Her father had received tickets to Disneyland from his boss Tony Stark on the way home, their car collided with a military convoy carrying radioactive chemicals her family did not make it Jessica fell into a coma and after several months she awoke by the first coming of the planet devouring machine Galactus outside her hospital room she was place in an orphanage and adopted by the Jones family. Jessica later discovered her exposure to the radiation gave her super strength, limited invulnerability, and Flight which she never truly mastered during her hero career. After witnessing a fight in her classroom between Spiderman and the Sandman she became inspired in a way that she could not put into words, to use her abilities in a positive light for the greater good. As jewel as an upstart heroine she had a fairly uneventful career until she intervened in a disturbance at a restaurant involving Longtime Dare Devil bad guy Zebediah KilGrave also known as the Purple man he used his mind control powers to command Jones he psychologically tortured Jessica and forced her to aid him in his crimes after eight months longer could distinguish between kilgraves will and her own she developed a type of Stockholm Syndrome. In a fit of rage the purple man sent Jessica to kill DareDevil directing her to the avengers mansion Jones attacked the first Hero she saw in a red outfit which happened to be the Scarlet Witch. As the mind control began to wear off Jones attempted to run an escape but instead she got caught an was severely injured by both the vision and Iron Man. She did escape with the help of Carol Danver´s also known as Captain Marvel the only avenger who knew Jones took her to safety. After a second coma Jone´s was under the care of S.H.I.E.L.D while going under psychic with Jean Grey of the X-men who has placed a special mental command in Jone´s subconscious that would protect her from further mind control. But the intense violation caused by Kilgrave and the fact that no one had noticed she was missing for 8 months caused Jones to quit being a superhero now enter Jessica Jones the private detective but as with anything she kept receiving clients with superhero connections as a detective a still obsessed Kilgrave breaks out of high security incarceration to attack an kill Jones he attempts to mentally break her Jones fights off the attack an breaks Kilgrave´s jaw and he gets locked up again. Jones ends up marrying long time friend Luke Cage the hero for hire they have a daughter together but Jones herself doesn't mind being a hero as much but she is more of a backbone to other  hero teams such as the new avengers. But now that you have an idea of who Jone's is an her story although its short an she is a underdog the woman can still hold her own and I can not wait to see how Netflix depicts Jessica an her dark relationship with Kilgrave an there are already talks that the Man with out fear will be making an appearance which makes sense when dealing with  Kilgrave. I cant wait for the interactions with Luke Cage an see him in action as well but we know the final product that Netflix is pushing out is the Defenders which will be a bad ass series I hope to hear an read peoples reactions to the series when it hits 19 days from now I hope this gave a small insight into  Mrs.Cage and i cant wait to take this journey with alias private investigations.
