SDCC: First look at Caps modern armour

I personally love the way that the films designers have gone for Steve Rogers modern outfit. It looks just like the comics uniform whilst also being grounded in realism. The folds and definition of the armour really give it a soldier vibe. Cant wait to see Chris Evans rocking this outift in next years Avengers, he'll fit right in with Thor and Iron Man :D

New Spider-man trailer

The very first official trailer for next year's The Amazing Spider-Man, starring Andrew Garfield...

There’s a thick web hanging over this first trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. It’s the web of seriousness.
By comparison, the Spider-Man movies brought to the screen by Sam Raimi a few years ago were comparatively breezy affairs. Marc Webb’s forthcoming reboot of the franchise appears to take the character down a route that mashes up the scowling realism of Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies, the doleful introspection of those Twilight teen vampire flicks I’ve never seen, and for good measure, a dash of videogame-style free-running.
It’s an unexpected new direction for the much-loved superhero, but it looks like a well-shot film, and the music’s quite nice. We’ll be back with a more in-depth analysis of the trailer tomorrow, but until then, you can watch it for yourselves below.

Oh DC....................

What follows is a post on the website Topless Robot. It says exactly what I've been thinking about the DC relaunch and instead of me typing the same stuff but not as well, I thought Id just let you view the post below :)


• Good: DC is advertising the DCnU relaunch in movie theaters in September. Smart. Very smart. So props there. (Via Robot 6)

​• Bad: DC has released a few more details on how they're fucking with Superman post-relaunch, which includes killing off both Ma and Pa Kent. Yes, Superman will be parentless. Also, in Action Comics -- the one that features the earlier adventures of Superman, where he's wearing the spectacularly awful outfit above (that's the new cover to Action #1, by the way -- Superman can't fly, but only jump really fucking high, 1930s-style. So anyone who thought DC was doing this in anticipation of the Shuster-Siegel lawsuit appears to be dead wrong, since everyone knows jumpin'-not-flyin' Superman is Shuster and Siegel-owned. Last but not least, in Superman -- the comic set in the present, Superman's outfit is some kind of "ceremonial Kryptonian armor." Now, DC is doing all this to make Superman more "relatable." Hey, DC -- I'm not a high paid comics editor or anything, but I have an idea for how you can make your characters more relatable -- TELL GOOD FUCKING STORIES. (Via Newsarama)

• Weird: DC will release a massive hardcover of all 52 of their new #1 issues in December. It'll run over 1200 pages and cost $150. I'm not opposed to this in theory, but I wonder how $150 is anything approaching "accessible." Maybe 40 of DC's 52 new comics are awesome, but I'm not going to spend $150 on an anthology to find out. DC should take a page out of the manga handbook and release this anthology in black and white on shitty newsprint, and release it for like $10. Let people -- and kids, for that matter -- get a taste of all the new series as cheaply as possible, and then maybe they'll get interested in a few of the titles to start collecting for real.The first taste free, or at least as close to free as possible. It works for drugs.

First Dark Knight Rises Poster

Above is the first poster from the upcoming and final Batman/Nolan film,The  Dark Knight Rises. It has a very inception like feel to it and seems to show that Gotham or indeed Society is crumbling. Im liking the tone of this film and this poster seems to set the scene for a dark, deep and thrilling film. It will take a film of immense quality to surpass the proceeding film, The Dark Knight. Although I am sure no one more than Christopher Nolan is aware of this and I for one believe he can deliver a fantastic film with a brilliant story.
