By now you have seen the trailer for the highly anticipated Captain America: Civil War — unless you’re Matt Murdoch wearing earmuffs.

Growing up, I was a huge fan of actor and martial artist, Mark Dacascos. You could even say I idolized the man. I loved his fighting style in Drive – which if you haven’t seen, you really should. It has incredible fight scenes. Why am I bringing him up? (Pretending that you didn’t read the headline.) He has signed on to one of my favorite TV shows: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The show Gotham has grown with another new cast member that piqued my interest a lot. A lot. BD Wong has joined and he will portray Batman villain, Hugo Strange. Before I get into that – BD Wong. Of Jurassic Park. And more recently: Jurassic World. You know him. The ever-smug Doctor Henry Wu.
Today Empire released their magazine cover of Jared Leto as the Joker for the upcoming movie, Suicide Squad. It further illustrates the departure from earlier film incarnations. It’s wildly different from the Heath Ledger version. For instance, the coat looks expensive, rather than the ill-fitted mess in The Dark Knight. Plus the cane is a nice touch.
On this idle Sunday, director David Ayer tweeted a photo of his upcoming film, Suicide Squad. It gives us our first look of the entire cast in character.
If I had any reservations about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, they’re mostly gone now. The recently released trailer won me over. The imagery is outstanding, and Ben Affleck looks intimidating as Batman. It doesn’t hurt that the costume is gray. Finally.
I saw the headline for a Flash Gordon reboot and I recoiled in disgust. Granted, there’s been different incarnations of the comic strip, but the 80s movie was the definitive version for me. The theme song by Queen certainly helps. So could you blame me?
