Well all of those questions will be answered right after the cut.

Derek

This week’s Rule 63 is a pretty timely one with the release of the KICK-ASS sequel this past week. This week’s entrant is cosplaying as the roughed up Kick-Ass that I tend to like more than any other depiction of the character.

This Man Might Be The New Batman

Derek

According to a story floating around, 47-year old actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan had a meeting with MAN OF STEEL director Zack Snyder about the Superman vs Batman movie. If true this would lend some credence to the rumor that Snyder is looking to go with a more seasoned Batman who has been in the costume for a while and is more of the grizzled version of Batman from the DARK KNIGHT comics. Morgan also has past history with Snyder having played The Comedian in the WATCHMEN movie. Of course this could all be nonsense and Morgan’s name is just being … Continue reading This Man Might Be The New Batman

What Marvel Character Will Vin Diesel Be Playing?

Derek

vin-diesel-avengers-2
Vin Diesel (an admitted big comics fan) admitted a few weeks ago that Marvel requested a meeting with him but didn’t offer any more info as to just what that meeting was about. Of course minds began racing about which Marvel movie franchise would the star of THE FAST & THE FURIOUS films be involved in with everything from the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy to Black panther being tossed out there by speculative fans and reporters.
Then Diesel posted the above image along with this message on his Facebook page:

Marvel meeting today… Only the people in the room can tell you what was discussed…P.s. Thanks to Our page, for pushing to make it happen… you know I get tunnel vision with my work… and after that meeting today… wow!
