Gotham City Sirens movie confirmed.

Harley Quinn

Gotham City Sirens the movie is now confirmed and Margot Robbie returns as Harley Quinn under the direction of David Ayers. 

A lot of people are actually surprised that David Ayers is returning to direct for DC following all his complaints about internal-manipulations that led to the successful but critically mangled Suicide Squad (Which stands at 26% on Rotten Tomatoes as of today - 1 whole point below Batman v Superman), but did make a whopping US$745 in the box office. 

Tomb Raider reboot writer Geneva Robertson-Dworet has signed on to write the Girl-Power Spin-off for DC. 

Hopefully we can expect a new Catwoman who isn't Halle Berry.

No release date has been set, but the project is said to be on the fast-track.

Two different Spider-Man Homecoming Trailers

We found two different and very awesome trailers released for the Spider-Man Homecoming movie!

Here's the one from Sony:

And here's the one from Zero Media:

In essence:

• Tony Stark is an ass
• Peter Parker got a taste of herodom and wants more - but it rejected by Tony Stark for a position in the Avengers
• Yep that's Mary Jane
• Peter wants to save the world but has homework. "But you ARE a kid!" syndrome.
• LLLOOOOVVVEEE the Vulture armor!
• They just topped Spider-Man 2's train rescue.

Defenders filming underway

The filming of the much-awaited Netflix show Defenders is underway and the internet has recently received a few behind-the scenes still photos of Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter).

Is it just us or is Jessica Jones wearing the same clothes from last season?

We will always remember him as the kind father of Anthony Hopkins in the movie The Remains of the Day (1993).

May he rest in peace.

James Gordon and Leslie Thompkins are getting married!

US Weekly just tweeted that James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Leslie Thompkins (Morena Baccarin) from Fox TV's Gotham are engaged in real life!

— Us Weekly (@usweekly) November 29, 2016

This would be Ben McKenzie's (The OC) first marriage, and Morena Baccarin's (Firefly, Deadpool) second (She married film producer and director Austin Chick in 2011 and divorced him in 2016. They have one child, Julius). The couple recently celebrated the birth of their first child: Frances Laiz Setta Schenkkan.

The two have been together since 2015

Deadpool could not be reached for comment.

Suffice to say he won't be happy.

Emmy Nominated actor Ron Glass - Shepherd Book from Firefly and Serenity - dies at 71

Shepherd Book - Ron Glass - July 10, 1945 – November 25, 2016

Ron Glass, the actor we've come to love for portraying Shepherd Derrial Book from the Firefly TV-series and Serenity, died last November 25  at the age of 71.

Glass, a theater actor, turned to TV and films i 1972 and is best known for his role as the pseudo-Christian preacher and for his role as Detective Ron Harris in the television sitcom Barney Miller (1975–82) for which he received an Emmy nomination.

There's an outtake from the 2005 Serenity movie that was never used where Shepherd Book delivers a prayer for the dead called the "Haven Prayer". It seems fitting to use it here.

"Lord, I'm walking your way. Let me in, for my feet are sore, my clothes are ragged. 

Look in my eyes, Lord, and my sins will play out on them as on a screen. Read them all. 

Forgive what you can and send me on my path. I will walk on until you bid me rest." 

Marvel's New Mutants Storyboard teaser released

Welcome to a news report from comingsoon.net about Marvel's New Mutants! To the uninitiated, yes, these are the junior X-Men - most of which would eventually become full fledged X-Men, two of whom would become Avengers.

Comingsoon.net reports that both Marvel and 20th Century Fox have yet to officially announce the existence of the New Mutants film, but it reportedly will be directed by Josh Boone (The Fault in our Stars), and will be written by Bon, Knate Lee (Jackass), Scotte Neustadter (The Fault in our Stars, 500 Days of Summer) and Michael H Weber (The Fault in our Stars, 500 Days of Summer).

So. The Fault in our Stars meets Jackass. Personally that doesn't sound promising.

The Internet is abuzz that the kid holding the hand of Logan in the upcoming 3rd Wolverine movie has been identified as Laura Kinney X-23, the clone of Wolverine, and she will be portrayed by Sienna Novikov.

Toy News: G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra Sting Raider Sale

Toy Kingdom: the Amazing Toy Store has dropped the price of the G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra: Cobra Sting Raider. I've always wanted this since it first appeared late last year, but I found the price of PhP 1, 699 prohibitive for a minor Cobra vehicle - even with two additional figures. Even when the price dropped to PhP 1,000 I passed. But now! It's dropped all the way down to PhP 500! Get one! Get two! Hell buy three of them and make an army! (While they're still there!). It's a pretty decent solid vehicle - review to follow.

Upcoming Green Lantern Movie Toys

One of my favorite websites, the Daily Blam recently published this preview of upcoming Green Lantern toys that will be released along with the movie. Please click on the link provided for the full preview on the Daily Blam website. Sadly I'm not really that impressed with the upcoming toy-line - though I hope to be proven wrong. 

One of the characters in the upcoming Green Lantern Stel. The new Green Lantern series portrays Lantern Stel  as a bug-like cybernetic creature versus his more traditional look - which I immensely prefer - that will be released as the action-figure that you collect and assemble in the upcoming DC Universe Green Lantern Series 2.
