Superman just wanted to enjoy a baseball game, but thanks to Lobo aliens are challenging him to a three-stage one-on-one fight. (Don’t worry, karma gave the “Main” Man a kick in the face.) Since he has no choice it’s fight time!
After the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, rival studio Warner Brothers (who owns DC Comics) wanted to get in on that. Like everyone else has. Lucasfilm, who like Marvel is now owned by Disney, is doing the same thing with Star Wars and Hasbro is rumored to be trying something with their properties in movie form while IDW is forming one with the Hasbro comics, for better or for worse. DC and Warner Brothers however are not seeing Marvel Studio’s success. Owen of Owen Likes Comics does a guest appearance on NerdSync to explain why he things DC is having so much trouble and I have to agree with him.

The Matrix Reloaded: The Album (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I know the Matrix franchise takes place in a computer world but a reboot seems to be an odd choice for a movie that came out only a couple of Presidents ago. And yet The Hollywood Reporters is reporting (duh) that Warner Brothers is looking to reboot the series , and do side stories ala Disney’s Star Wars. Do you need to do a reboot for that?

The Face on the Cutting-Room Floor (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Sometimes a movie runs too long (unless you’re Peter Jackson…then it never runs long enough) and a scene gets deleted. Or sometimes the producers want something changed or the vision changes but usually it’s that first one. The bad part is when the cutting room floor is the home to a scene that was important to explains what the editor probably considered a minor plothole but then the audience begs to differ. From Cracked comes two videos demonstrating just such a situation, although in two cases it was a major change to the story.
