Film and Theatre Lover!
I get quite a few random things sent to my email for the blog, but every now and then I really do feel the need to share it! This one is pretty amusing as they have come up with New Year Resolutions for Superheroes, let’s face it we all love Superheroes!
Anyone come up with any more?
The people over at MorphSuits.com sent me this via email and I thought it was rather interesting.
Which would you like to try out living in?
Or what would you like to add to this list?
In Gotham we see James Gordon starting out in the Police Department as he takes on his first case, the murder of the Wayne’s and how this causes absolute chaos in the city. The series also gives us many different origin stories of the many villains.
Let’s face it Batman has always been on favourite and still is my favourite no matter how hard Iron Man tried! Ok anyway I had tried to watch this and recorded it on Sky, but never actually got round to have the time to watch it. That changed though a few weeks ago when I spotted the series on Netflix. Such an easier way to watch a TV series (and very addictive) next episode, next episode.
It has eventually started to happen, well actually DC started the universe back in 2013 with Man of Steel but in all honesty I didn’t realise that at the time. I mean come on we had a failed Superman attempt years before that with the awful Superman Returns. So another Superman attempt wasn’t a big thing. Well actually it turns out it was a huge thing!
From next year 2016, DC have slated in 10 films to release in four years. Now that really is making a statement and giving the audience a lot of new characters. Although some characters we may have seen in the past but I am very interested to see how it is all going to play out. Over the weekend because of the incredible Comic Con, Warner Brothers have spoilt us with two incredible trailers for next year’s releases. Those being Batman v Superman and The Suicide Squad.

Yes I am sorry everyone is blogging this trailer and tweeting it, but I just had to also blog about it too! It looks incredible and has really built up a lot of excitement for myself around this film. I had not been massively sure about it before seeing this trailer in all honesty, it just fills in some gaps about why Batman and Superman are against each other.
What is not to like and love about this trailer, it is epic. We get to see Wonder Woman as well, she is going to be a massive plus for DC Comics. A proper woman superhero who I hope will get a lot of plaudits and be the first to do well in any of the franchises.
The second instalment in Christopher Nolan’s incredible Batman trilogy. Gotham City is turned upside down as The Joker begins to cause chaos in the city, pushing everyone to find out their limits.
I am part of ‘The Great Villain Blogathon’ which is co-hosted by Ruth of Silver Screenings, Karen of Shadows & Satin and Kristina of Speakeasy. I have picked The Joker from The Dark Knight as my villain to write this blog post about. It’s certainly going to be an interesting journey into one of the best villains we have seen in recent years at the cinema.
I have been back from Hong Kong for a couple of days now and was very pleased with the view from my hotel window which was the building used in The Dark Knight. This lead myself to refer to the building as “The Batman Building” hoping that everyone else had seen the film and knew what I was going on about.
I ended up taking so many different pictures on the building when I was told that it was that building (I know I didn’t work it out on my own!). But I was loving it from that moment on.
Batman has always been my favorite superhero/comic book based film series. The older ones and then Nolan’s reboot was exactly what I wanted to see. I cannot really explain where, when and why my love for Batman started but it did and still exists. I still love the older films and bought the DVD box set years ago. Yes I do have a soft spot for Batman Forever and even slightly for Batman & Robin – yes I do realise that people are going to judge me for that but I remember seeing that film at the cinema just before my 10th birthday and let’s face it I probably hadn’t seen anything like that at the time. I know now it is so cheesy and just not in the same league as the other films but I cannot help but remember what it was like watching it for the first time in the cinema, it was exciting. I saw Batman Begins in the cinema on its release and the same with The Dark Knight, which I then saw another two times making that my record of three times for a film at the cinema. The Dark Knight Rises I attended a 5 am screening and will be heading back to the cinema this afternoon for a second viewing. It’s not only Batman that I find myself loving but the villains are always so interesting and brilliant as well. The actors who have been in the films always seem to be spot on with it and create something really special to watch from start to finish.
The epic conclusion to the Legend of Batman . . . The Dark Knight Rises
