Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice #3

If you see the trailer, on 2:01, you will see that Bruce Wayne is looking to the Robin Armor, filled with a yellow ink "Ha Ha Ha, Jokes on you Batman"

This suite was the same suite from the comic story line.
Is there going to be Red Hood appearance in near future?
Are DC going to make a single movie about the Death of The Family storyline from the comic book?

Well, we will never know about this. But when it does i hope the movie will be great

The Suicide Squad #3

There is finally a trailer for the movie


The image of the video clearly show Jared Letto's Joker.

The songs that were in the video is also great, i started a joke by Bee Gees with a gothic melody it seems suite the madness that i saw from the suicide squad.

The movie will retold the assemble of the squad.

I like Will Smith's role in this trailer. He seems to be the wise man of the team. The "normal guy", although to be honest i never read or watch Headshot storyline.

I also like Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. She seems suite the character. Another confession to be made, i never watch her movie. I never watch The Wolf of Wall Street yet.

There are a couple of character that i never known about, since my not-so-good knowledge of these characters.

Hopefully this movie will be enjoyable to the fans and not-quite fans like me.

Edit
Last night i was watching a Machinima Channel in Youtube, They discuss about the suicide squad trailler.
They mention, that the person that the Joker is talking to is the Robin.
They said that Robin suite is also appearing in the Batman vs Superman Dawn of Justice trailler.
I re-watch the trailler and saw the suite.
The suite was quite the same suite in the comic story line.
But the question will be, how will be playing Robin?

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice #2

There were a new trailer for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice on Youtube this week.



There are some sneak appearance of Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor.

I love the Lex Luthor play by Jesse Eisenberg.

The movie plot is getting clear in the second trailer and seeing Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne and Batman quite change my doubt at the beginning.

Hope the whole movie not suck at the end.

High hopes

Green Arrow (the Origin Story)

This is the origin story of green arrow

Oliver Queen is the main character of this story.
He was a son of a whealth family.
He was a good fencer and archer.

One day he went to his family oil tanker to have some party.
A villian name Iron Eagle crash to the party and demand all the oil and every one will be no harmed.
Iron Eagle already plant bombs on the tanker and held the detonator in his hand.

Oliver and his best friend Tommy was managed to hide.
One of the crew tanker said that this hijack-demand thing happen to a couple tanker in the area and they give what Iron Eagle wanted and nobody was on harm.

Oliver with his will to show to his father what he was went to stop the Iron Eagle.
Tony warned him but it was ignored by him.

With a bow and a arrow he went to a higher ground aiming Iron Eagle hand (aiming for the detonator).
With a single arrow he manage to pierce into Iron Eagle hand.
He drop the detonator and on a way down the oil tanker, the button was pressed.

The oil tanker blew up.

Later Oliver get consciousness and found Tommy's body next to him
Tony then with his last breath told to Oliver "i know you oliver queen, this arms are going to be the last thing you kill".
On a washed island Oliver trained to improved his skills.

The Merchaneris hunt and capture him, torture him day and night.
this make what we will become, the green arrow.

He escaped the merchaneris and wait for rescue.

As he return to the city, he felt everything is different, he miss the hunting time that he have went he washed away in the island.

For that, at night he went hunting for criminals and crimes in the city, meanwhile at day he become a success entrepenure under his father's company.

This origin story it feels not quite appealing for my taste.
The story is to common for me.
If i not mistaken, the origins stories of DC comics used to involved a lot of deaths, but in this story, the only death is Tommy's death.
His death is not a direct impact of Oliver's quest becoming the green arrow.

Aquaman

I will be talking about the least favor superhero in the DC universe, Aquaman.

The least favor superhero is due to of lack of stand alone stories in the comic or movies, some even says that his super power is not as great as flash and had no use to fight crimes.

The injury is more than enough to damage this character.

Based on my search in the wikipedia i haven't found any dept of this character storyline in the DC universe

I know that there shall be an upcoming movie with Jason Momoa with a title Unite the Seven.
Until this date i haven't got any additional information about the title.
Some say that he is uniting the Justice League since we have Batman, Superman, The Flash (TV series), Arrow (TV series), Wonder Woman (upcoming movie), Cyborg (cameo appearance in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice), and Aquaman itself.
Some say that the title was about the seven seas, the story took place before Aquaman declare as the ruler of the seven seas.
Idk

Let's hope that the film will make a huge hit and will set off the DC universe.

The Red Hood

As one of Batman and Robin fan, i would like to say that i am not a hard-core fan.

Last month i was watching some movie via streaming (not Youtube) and saw the origin story of The Red Hood.

The movie started as batman and robin chasing bad guys.
Some how robin got captured by the Joker and killed.

He then revived by Ra's Al Ghul in the Lazarus pit and trained by Thalia and Ra's Al Ghul him self to become the best solider.

Robin then went back to Gotham.
He then found out that Batman did not do anything to Joker, although Joker already killed Robin, killed him.

He then went to take the first Joker's alias. The Red Hood.

He then went on a rampage on Gotham bad side and good side. Forcing Batman to faced him one by one.

At first Batman didn't recognized The Red Hood as Robin.
After a few encounter The Red Hood revealed him self as Robin.

Batman was shocked and persuade him to stop all the madness that he had done,
As i watch the video, Batman confronts Red Hood in an apartment room.

In there the Joker was also present but as Red Hood's abductee.

The battle between The Red Hood and Batman is epic since Batman's is Red Hood apprentice. All Red Hood movement can be read by Batman and vice versa

The battle ended when Robin suddenly explode the whole apartment.
But Batman managed to save both Robin and Joker at the exact moment.

In the comic book series, the ending was quite different from the movie that i watch.

The Joker claimed that the Red Hood was his master plan from the start and he said what's next at the ending.

In the movie i saw how desperate Batman was when he lose Robin. He act like he lost his own son from the battle.
Robin's death was shown as Batman's failure.
Batman had not teach Robin all that he know about fighting crimes.
In the movie i saw the aggressive action of Robin when fighting crimes with Batman.
This aggression i suppose is due to the immature Robin also the lack of time for Batman to teach him.

Meanwhile, the disappointed feeling of Robin after knowing that Batman did not killed the Joker is express well in the movie.
The disappointment feeling drives Robin went crazy as the Red Hood as he claimed areas from the mafia of Gotham.

The Suicide Squad #2

I just went to a Youtube channel and found out there is a rumor about Aqua Man will be appearing in Suicide Squad

I heard that Aqua Man will be played by Jason Momoa and i think i saw a glimpse of his acting in Game of Thrones series. I didn't follow the series entirety, but judging from the respond in the internet, i think he will nail the role.

The rumor stated that Aqua Man will be fighting against King Shark.

we'll see about that

Hope it will be epic

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice

You all probably had seen the first Batman versus Superman trailer.

I watch the trailer though a youtube channel at the moment, where they discuss about the leak trailer, not before the official trailer been released.

As i watch the official trailer i catch a sense that the human is already fear superman as a superhuman,

As the voices heard in the beginning of the trailer
"Power corrupts. An absolute power corrupts, absolutely."
"The devil is not come from hell beneath us, they come from the sky."
"The world is caught up what he can do but no one is ask what he should do."

You can also hear a crowd shouting "go home, go home" at the trailer.

I don't know if this going to be the same plot as the one in the comic book or not.
I don't know about the comic story line.
I haven't seen it.

When they announce that the cast for Batman is going to played by Ben Affleck, a lot of fans doubt that his acting will make this movie a great one.
After they announce that Jesse Eisenberg is going to play Lex Luthor some of the fans also doubt that he could play a role of the vicious villain.

Probably for any fan boy out there a consistent story line with the comic series is more important then the cast it self.
But for a non die hard fan, the action and the cast is more important.

As i always mention in my previous blog, the demand and supply in this industry (entertainment industry) is high.
The producer must to deliver the best of each and every one in the movie.

We will just wait for another trailer and wait patiently until the release date of the movie.

"Tell me do you bleed? ... You will"

All the Lantern RIngs

Today i would like to talk about all the lantern power rings.

Before the green lantern movie played in my country, i have no idea that there are more than 2 color of the lantern. We already know about the green one, and i once saw the yellow one from one film in a cartoon network.

While ago when surfing inside Comicstorian channel i stumble on a video "All Lantern Corp Explained! - Know Your Universe!"
The video took about 10 minutes and he explained it clearly, according to my taste.

There are nine color of the lantern.
Green for will power, Yellow for fear, Red for rage, Blue for hope, Orange for greed, Indigo for compassion, Star Sappires for love, White for life, and Black for death.

Each of ever ring has in own stories. For Green we know the story of  Hal Jordan becoming the green lantern. For the yellow, we know that Sinestro will hold the yellow ring and rise the Sinestro coprs to battle the green lantern.

How about the rest of the color? In one of the Comicstorian channel, there are a complete video retold about the origin of each lantern color.
For the white and black lantern, it was retold on video, the story of Blackest Night. In the story it explained about the dooms day of all the lantern corps.

I loved how DC made this range of color in the lantern universe.
Each human feelings are capture in each color. fear, rage, hope, greed, compassion and love.

All the lantern corps battle each other in the story and it represent the emotional feelings battle in inside a human heart.

I know that sound chessy, but that was i think went i read the background video of each color.

The one that was catch my interest to dig deeper is the black and white lantern.
The black lantern which appear in the Blackest Night story is the ultimate ring. since every one will eventually will die.
The black ring revives all the dead superheros and supervillians, and boy what a great story.

Meanwhile for the oath, each lantern have their unique oath represent the power they hold.

Green lantern = In brightest day, in blackest light, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware of my power Green Lantern's Light

Yellow lantern = In blackest day, in brightest night, beware you fears made into light. Let those who try to stop what's right, burn like my power Sinestro Might

Red lantern = with blood and rage of crimson red, ripped from a corpse so freshly dead. Together with our hellish hate, we'll burn you all That is your fate

Blue lantern = In fearful day, in raging night, with strong hearts full our soul ignite. When all seems lost in the War of Light, Look to the Stars For Hope Burns Bright

Yellow lantern = This power is mine, this is my light. Let it in bright of day or black of night, i let claim to all that falls within my sight to take what i want That is My Right

As for the other oath, during my time writing this blog, i can't confirm that the source is correct or not

All the oath describe the power they hold and they come in a nice rhyme also.

If you haven't read the blackest night story, you should check the story.
Also check the background story of each lantern.

The Suicide Squad #1

Hai,
Today i want to talk about the Suicide squad AKA the Task Force X (is this correct? i get the info from wikipedia).

To battle the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC made their own Universe and like it or not it started from Batman trilogy (the trilogy made by Christopher Nolan).

We all agree that the Batman trilogy is a great movie with the first Batman plot being so dark and getting the first chill in the spine when hearing "I am Batman" Christian Bale version.

The production of The Suicide Squad is still in the making, but we can see tons of pictures, clips wondering the web today.

One Saturday when going through Youtube channel, one of my subscriptions made a light discussion about this matter.
They thought this is a good publicity, but if you show to much probably the "excitement" will be decrease slowly until the release date. I kinda agree with that.

I know seeing Harley Quinn, full Joker appearance , Batman and the Batmobile (yeah, we can see for the first time the full size Batmobile, not from a Batman upcoming movie, but from another movie) and the squads of course are nice, but to much is enough.

The channel focus on the security on set. Are there any securities there? Are the clips, picture were taken by one employee? Is this publicity made by the movie it self?

This type of "publicity" was not the first time i encounter, i believe you also.
Before this, there was Dead Pool picture on set when shooting, wandering the internet.
But for Dead pool, i think is still in the "line" (if you know what i meant).

Is this the new campaign method?
It sure effective, as the fan boy and girls, the new audience, shouted "WE WANT MORE!" "WE WANT MORE!", the production house, producers, male and female actors need to give it all to us.


Smallville-verse my expereince

We all probably already know about the teen superman in the Smallville TV series.

I would like to talk about the TV Series and my experience about the show.

I first watch the series probably on 2002-ish? 
I completely forgot when it was played in Indonesia (my country)
It was first played on a private television station.

At the first two episode, i was surprised about the plot. 
I never knew that there was a story when Superman was still a teenager.

At that time I was also experiencing a teenager life.
So for some of the plot i still can relate to.

From the series i also just know that Clark Kent has a love interest as a teenager also. 
I never knew who is Lana Lang was until i search the internet and found out who she was and who she would become in the Superman story line.

At that time i also have a love interest. 
She was a nice young girl who lived near the school that we went together. 

We know each other back to the first grade, and she was my first love.

As a normal kid sometimes i imagine on certain matters and one of it is love.

I know that i was not born as a Superman but i sometime think i was Superman. 

In the episodes i saw the story line development between Clark Kent and Lana Lang.

As they relationship grew deep down in my heart i hope mine also grew.
But reality is more harsh then fictions, 

She went to another school and we lost contact ever since. 
Back in the past there were no smartphones available yet. 

I gave her a depart gift. i never ask if she like it or not.
Same as Clark Kent, i think he never had a chance to told Lana Lang about his feelings. 

Until the day the Clark Kent meet Lois Lane and the two become lovers. 

I think i haven't meet my Lois Lane.
and some day i believe i will

My first superhero movie experince

Hi, this is my first blog and English is not my native language (so you probably will see some grammar error here and there)
So please don't be harsh on me.

As we already know, the movie theaters these days are all filled with comic movies. Either it was from the Marvel universe or the DC universe and some independent publishers.

From what my memory can recall the first comic movie that i watch is superman, which was played not the movie but on the TV.
It was Superman II and i watch it with my little brother. It was played by Christopher Reeve and it became my first role model.

Everyday at school we ('da boys) will play as superman and the villain. Due to my physical appearance i always played as the bad guy.

They usually ware a cape (which is actually a table cloth for the teacher desk) and run around pretending to casing the bad guys all around the school.

In my grade there are 4 different classes. Class A, B, C and D. My class is D.

In each of every class there are a kid played as superman and a couple kids played as the bad guy (not all kid love to play superman and the bad guy for some reasons).

Due to there are 4 superman in the school (my grade) we sometimes battle each other during lunch brake. yeah its a superman smash brother event.

They will chasing each others, trading fake punches and fake kicks each other until the lunch break ends.

Same with the bad guys, we will compete each other with no reward and with no winner every day.

One day, as usual we fight with the other bad guys from the different class. One of the kid playing superman suddenly make a flying kick.
Since the action take place between kids with no choreography (we are not stuntmen), the inevitably thing happen.
The kick landed exactly on a kid's head. It was so hard that the kid was slammed the floor.

As a kid that was kick in the head, slammed to the floor and shock, we do what we do best. We cried.
He cried as loud as he could and it noticed by a teacher helper.

She walked as quick as she could to the crying kid.
She didn't know what happen to him, since she keep asking what happen to the poor kid.

The kid kept crying and the teacher helper increasingly confused. She then decided to bring the kid to the teacher's room to calm him down and gather some information from him.

The superman kid that kicked him was standing still with his head down. He know that what he did was not right and he felt sorry.

In my school there is a gap between the girls and the boys. For some reasons that i could not remember we hate each other.

There is a girl that ran to the teacher helper as she approaches the teacher room, she then told her everything that happen.
The teacher helper then shout the superman kid's name, the one that caused this to happen.
The kid then walked slowly to the teacher room with his head facing down.

The bell rang, lunch break ended. We went back to our room.
As we sat on our little tiny chair, we waited for the teacher to enter the room.
But there was something wrong, it took more time then usual for the teacher to enter the room.

Some of the boys started to babble, probably something went wrong to her. maybe she went to the toilet. maybe she went home and we shall went home early (yeah right)

Suddenly the classroom door opened. It was our teacher but beside her standing our vice principal. In our tiny head we know we are in trouble.

The vice principal then walked in to the room and started to call out names. Yes, all of the kid that played as superman and the bad guy are called to the principal room.

My heart pounding knowing that this will end bad for me.
As we enter one by one to the principal office room my palm is sweating.
There are already 4 boys inside there.
They look pale and kept their head down.

As we waited for the rest of the kids enter the room, the principal start to talk."do you now why are you kids called here?"
One of the boys reply "no sir"
The door opened, the last 2 kids from class D entered the room.

The vice principal joined the room as the door closed.
The vice principal then started to talk "can you tell me what happen to A (the boy that got kicked and slammed to the floor)?"
One boy from class A started to talk "we are playing and B (the boy that kicked A) suddenly kick A sir"

The principal and the vice principal look at each other and he said "yes, thank you for the information, i would like to inform you all that A mother is already informed about this accident and currently heading the school"
"for the further days there shall be no superman playing at school, the boy that broke this will be punished"

As he finished the sentence the vice principal said "do you boys understand this?"

We replied almost at the same time "yes sir"

And we dismiss, back to the class room.

That was the last day that we played superman and for me that the last day i played as the bad guy.

As time goes by, there are new superhero played in the TV. It was Batman.
We never played batman and joker in the school.

I guest we already grow up a little bit at the moment.
