"METROPOLIS" -A SUPERMAN PREQUEL TV SERIES

It has been announced that a new tv show is coming to the DC streaming service, and that show is called "Metropolis". The show is set to center on Lois Lane as a reporter finding all the criminal activity with Lex Luthor in Metropolis.

So to start off, this feels like a not so great idea. It feels like Gotham without Bruce Wayne, but even if Kal-El was in the show, it would just be a Smallville 2.0; something that doesn't need to be made as we could just watch Smallville if we wanted to. I personally do not know any Superman villains apart from Lex Luthor, that is in Metropolis, that Lois can follow in, in a series.

This series ultimately feels like they wanted to make a Superman tv series but couldn't. We've seen this before with Supergirl and then Krypton, and now Metropolis. The other two shows are interesting, Supergirl is a show which has defined the character, and Krypton seems interesting with Hawkgirl and Adam Strange, but Metropolis does not have much of a selling character point.

In conclusion, this Metropolis tv series has a 13 episode order for the DC streaming service, and this just adds to the expanding series of original content that will be on the service. This may turn into a great series we'll have to wait and see. I would like to hear your thoughts on this announcement down in the comments below.

BART ALLEN ON THE FLASH?

Image
So Bart Allen is the grandson of Barry Allen (The Flash) who has the same powers inherited from his grandfather. Bart has appeared on Smallville (well the name at least) and the Young Justice show (where he was named "Impulse"), which is how I know the basic premise of the character, but there has been a lot of stuff in the comics. So the basic origin of Bart is that he was aging extremely fast, so he was placed into a virtual reality to prevent him from aging too fast. Iris West brought Bart into the present day, seeing that the VR was not working so Bart could meet Wally West, the Flash. Not having a solution to this, Wally dropped Bart off to Max Mercury. But could we get Bart Allen on the Flash tv show? the question has been foreshadowed throughout season 3, so spoilers. In the episode "Cause and Effect", "322" Barry erases his memory to stop Savitar from getting his plans. In doing so Barry calls himself "Bart". Also is it a coinc

POSSIBLE FANT4STIC 2

Image
Ok so Fant4stic was not so great last year and screenwriter Simon Kinberg has touched on that in a recent interview , He stated "We didn't make a good movie. The world voted, and I think they probably voted correctly. And you can't make a good movie every time out - not everybody does. We actually have a pretty good batting average, all things considered. But I think we made many mistakes when we made that movie - mistakes that we learned from and we wouldn't repeat. We want to make another Fantastic Four movie. We love that cast." Wait so does this mean that we may get another Fantastic Four remake or sequel or whatever it is.Becasue I do agree the cast is brilliant.There is only one way for the first one to not to be in the same universe as the hopefully going to be better second one which is that it took place in 2015 but then 50 or so years later days of Future past happens and it is erased.That wouldn't be too great but it is the only way to work aro

JESSICA JONES SEASON 2 TRAILER BREAKDOWN

Image
With the Jessica Jones on the verge of dropping all of season two in a month, we have got a new trailer which details all the new stories and mysteries that we will see in the upcoming season of Jessica Jones. I will not break down the trailer frame by frame as I have done with previous trailers, however, I will go over the main points in the trailer and how they will play out in the season. So let's get on with the recap. The trailer opens up with Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), at a bar having flashbacks to the accident she was in as a kid. It was a car crash that got her parents killed, and from there, she was abducted and experimented on, giving her powers, and she eventually breaks free, thus where she is now. It seems like Jessica is still struggling with what happened, as she is now focusing on what makes her, her, and how she could potentially fix it. A shoutout to the films, this kid asks Jessica if she knows Captain America. It is most likely Jessica displayed

Finally, we are back from the Superbowl with the Eagles taking the victory, and now we have what we have all been waiting for, another glorious Avengers Infinity War trailer where we see more characters on screen together, and we see the formation of the Avengers team and the Guardians team, and also some hints to Thor's secret quest and some strange Spiderman stuff. All that an more ahead. Opening the trailer is a shot off is Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Spiderman (Tom Holland), and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) in what appears to be the Thanos circle ship that we saw in the previous trailer. This time they are on the inside as they somehow managed to infiltrate the ship when it was in New York. Looking at their faces, you can see where the characters are. Iron Man is scared of what he sees, knowing that the threat he has been awaiting is here, and after his dead Avengers vision. Spiderman is amazing, being a kid in space, and Doctor Strange also looks mildly amaz
