Lotta good news this weekend


Sorry its been a while since my last post.  Just recently started school and have been helping my wife recover from ACL repair surgery.  ANYWHO, ran across a couple of good tidbits to make any nerd happy this weekend.

1. Batman vs Superman pushed back 10 MONTHS!

                           

Now hear me out, I want this movie to succeed.  However, i've heard nothing since it's inception that instilled hope within me for this to happen.  Now, Warner is pushing it back to open up directly against an unnamed Marvel U movie on May 6th, 2016.  So this has a couple of good possibilities.  

A. This movie has incurred the wrath of the "Wonder Woman Curse".  Meaning it will never frikin come out because the powers that be can't decide on  how to portray her correctly. Yes.  I'm over it.

B.  This makes them go far beyond our expectations.  Going up against a marvel movie is daunting.  DC/Warner knows how these movies fare.  With the mixed response towards the first movie in this series they may go out of their way to fix the errors of the first film.  Hell, they may even go so far as to recast the roll of WW or write her and the other 29 heroes in this film so it can truly be Bruce vs Clark. 


2.  Sif will be on Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. this season.  


I know, I know, this show is sub par.  BUT this is the type of move that we have been waiting on them to make.  Sif isn't "A" list, however she is a nice integration of other heroes from the greater marvel/MCU. With more moves like this, AoS may at least avoid the axe come season 2 pick up time. 


               3.  Agent Carter Confirmed by Marvel


Now I don't have a lot of deets on this yet but this at first was "meh" news to me.  I think i'm a little more open minded towards it now.  This may give us the joy of seeing more silver age Marvel heroes and villains.  Baron Zemo, Namor the Sub-Mariner, even Hank Pym! (Now that we know Michael Douglas is portraying him in Ant-Man.  


With News like this, I think I'll be interested to see what happens once the dust settles on it come monday.  Be safe this weekend Nerds!
