    Disappointing DC decided not to go with any Super Bowl tv spots for the up coming movies.

    BossLogic an artist I follow on twitter did these he is well work a look at.

    Some of the work below he has done if someone is linked to a role he draws them up and put them on on his media accounts.


    Link to his twitter if anyone is interested.

    Russell Crowe as Cable and Emma Stone as Batgirl.

    In terms of the actual fantasy casting, Crowe as Cable could be brilliant, Stone as Batgirl I could maybe see it but wouldn't be mad keen on it. Efron as Nightwing? God no keep him away from it! I enjoy him in some roles but Nightwing isn't one for him.

    I can't figure where he would/could be used. I guess he could fit into a Captain America sequel. Something along the lines of Winter Soldier, if it was a co-write...?

    It's a weird combination and they don't seem immediately compatible. I'm on the fence about Sorkin generally, I don't necessarily see what the big deal is about his writing.

    Mind you, while he doesn't seem a good fit for the 'front line' of (say) the MCU, he might more worthwhile as part of the expanding TV universe; another 'Defenders' spin-off perhaps, something with a few more board or court rooms. She-Hulk perhaps?

    ^^Good call. I've no time for his film work but am a big fan of the West Wing and The Newsroom.

    Yeah I loved The Newsroom, and The Social Network and Moneyball are both utterly fantastic.

    But his style of writing and the topics he usually covers don't fit well at all with almost any superhero property I can think of, unless it's in an advisory consultant role for (as per pixelburp's suggestion) something like She-Hulk courtroom scenes while someone else is responsible for writing the whole show.

    Watched the Justice League Dark enjoyed it a lot for Matt Ryan voicing Constantine.


    I was thinking after with all the comicbook tv shows and movies being made over the last few Constantine really did get hard done by being cancelled so quickly Matt Ryan really was fantastic in the role.

    Yeah I loved him. I hope regardless of the fate of that TV show he has a future in the role.

    Just watched Hulu's new documentary about how Bob Kane hoodwinked the world into thinking he created Batman.


    A sad story about Bill Finger who died in poverty without getting the credit he deserved.

    Batman and Bill.

    Haven't seen this yet, thanks for linking. It's a sad story and only recently have DC begun crediting Bill Finger, with comics and movies now saying "Batman created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger". Far too late now but it's something at least. I'll watch this documentary tomorrow, looking forward to it.

    I listen to a podcast called heroes and villains that reviewed it and they were really angry at it, mainly because the documentarian was making out no one gave a damn about finger before he rushed to his aid (and it's true I've probably been aware of the shafting of Finger/ Seigel and Schuster/ Peter for probably decades), and stayed away from the real juicy stuff (it was in DC's interest not to acknowledge Finger as doing so would invalidate the deal Kane struck with them).

    Finally got around to watching Blade the series it wasn't great but it also wasn't as bad as I was expecting either.


    I really would love to see Marvel reboot Blade either in the film MCU or even better on Netflix.

    Weird, I was just talking about this series last night and how I never got past maybe the second episode despite it being fine.

    Film or Netflix would be good with me but I'd probably also lean towards Netflix.
