Deathstroke Movie In The Works

Possible Deathstroke Movie By Gareth Edwards.

Yesterday in the movie news, Warner Bros. and DC announced that Gareth Edwards is writing and set to direct a Deathstroke movie. If you don't know Gareth Edwards, he's the director for both the Raid Redemption and the Raid 2. If you still don't know who he is, do yourself a favor and watch those two movies, they are some of the best action movies in the past decade. Deathstroke himself is one of rogues of Batman's rogue gallery (he's a bad guy) but he actually ties more into the Teen Titans story. In the Teen Titans cartoon that came out in the early 2000's, he was their main nemesis, and one cool episode was when Robin thought Deathstroke was still alive, but it was all phsycological.

Deathstroke is a really cool villian for Batman too because he's a highly intelligent mercenary. So he kind of works both sides of the field, sometimes for good guys but most of the time for bad guys. In the comics, Deathstroke also gone toe to toe with Batman in hand-to-hand combat and has actually beat him, so he poses a big threat no matter what situation. It will be interesting whether they tie him into the Teen Titans or Batman, personally, I would like a new type of challenge for Batman in the movies and Deathstroke seems to be the right person. It will also be interesting how much of the movie will be practical, since Gareth Edwards used nothing but practical effects for the Raid movies.

Joe Mangienello is set to return as Deathstroke  but so far Gareth Edwards is just working on the script. It's not even confirmed whether or not this script will get greenlit into an actual movie. I think it all depends on how Justice League does, if it is overall poorly received, then perhaps DC won't continue on with this universe they have going on. All in all this is a great idea but the verdict is out until we see how Justice League does. As always thank you for taking time out of your day to read this topic I discussed.

Why I Think Ben Affleck Is The Best Batman. As we all know, there have been many incarnations of the hero called "Batman". There are some that people really enjoy, but others that people cannot stand. I want to discuss the incarnation that I love the most and has the potential to be the greatest of all time. All previous actors who played the roll of "Batman" have done very good in my opinion and have shown different sides of the caped crusader. Christian Bales performance of the dark knight is always argued as the best "Batman" we've ever gotten. Though, I'd like to disagree, now before you guys start threatening me and stuff, let me explain why. Christian Bale is a top notch actor and did a solid job as "Batman" in the Dark Knight trilogy. Though is he the best Batman? Does he embody all the characteristics of "The Batman"? I personally don't think he does Now shall we get on to why I think Ben Affleck is the best &qu

Justice League First Reactions

Justice League First Reactions Hit Twitter. So yesterday evening, few critics were allowed to share their quick reactions to Justice League on Twitter. I won't go thoroughly through each one, but the overall feel we get from the tweets. So overall, all tweets are luke warm to positive, the two common negatives that are addressed by most reactions is a thin story and weak villian. Then of course some of the positives are each member of the team, their dynamic together, and the lighter tone. Then, each critic says either this is a big or small step in the right direction which is positive in my opinion. Whether or not the step is huge or small, the fact is so far the movie isn't divisive at all. They got the most important thing to do in a superhero movie done and that's make the characters intriguing. Have us by the end of the film want to see more of each of the characters and want to see them together again. If this film continues to get positive reviews, then that w

My Thoughts On The Defenders

My Thoughts On The Defenders Season 1. So today I finished up watching The Defenders and sad to say, I thought it was just decent. Don't get me wrong, it's still better than the second half of "Luke Cage" and definitely better than "Iron Fist", but even with only eight episodes, it dragged on sometimes. They have four characters with so much backstory and potential but I feel like they touched on the same subjects so many times without adding something new. The first episode was good because it gives the viewer an understanding of each character, their motives, and how they view the world. Then, for some reason, we get a lot of dialogue about the same motives and throughout the first couple of episodes, they interweave all the side characters. Another thing that kind of bothered me was the action, not that it wasn't good but that it was most of the time dark. You can see that all the stunt men and actual actors are trying their best with the stunts
