Per usual, I’m very late to the party, but I digress.
Batman v Superman brought Batman back in the comic book movie fold and kick-started DC’s film universe. Granted, after Justice League, they decided to change gears and not have the movies as connected as their counterpart in Marvel’s cinematic universe. The ongoing movies are more loosely connected instead. One in particular is the change in actor playing Batman.

Ridley Scott’s Prometheus left things open ended. Our surviving protagonists — one of them arguably an antagonist — took a ship and went off in search of new, fun adventures.
I hope I didn’t spoil anything for you. If I did — oh god, I’m so sorry! Please stop reading and go watch the movie. It’s on Blu-ray and it’s a gorgeously shot film.
A few weeks ago I went to a little music store with my girlfriend and her family. We browsed, pointing out a different vinyl to each other. But then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a vinyl sticking out. I saw the word “Star”. It was in a very familiar font. I gasped and I briskly walked towards it. It was calling my name — in five different languages. I slowly picked it up.
Marvel’s Ant-Man was a long movie coming. Edgar Wright started scripting it before there was Iron Man — even before there was something called Marvel Studios. Then there was the start of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that grew. Then there was a falling out between Marvel and Wright. Things looked dire for Ant-Man. But alas! A miracle! The movie came out and it wasn’t a mess. In fact, it was a blast.
The past couple weeks have went by fast and before I knew it, it’s the first of April. Usually I have a silly post that only my friends would find funny, but I can’t help myself from sharing with the class. This time I had nothing written. This time the fool is me.
Just the other night I watched 3 Ninjas Kick Back on Netflix. I haven’t seen it since the mid 90s. It’s a ridiculously fun movie. But one scene — that never stuck out to me in childhood — caught me by surprise.
You can’t get enough of Robert Downey Jr on the big screen, right? No, wait — I’m talking to myself. Maybe you too if it’s applicable. Rather than portraying a superhero — be that Iron Man or Sherlock Holmes — he’ll play a villainous lawyer.
Things were set in motion for an endeavor that leaves the public stunned. Two franchises that were seemingly separate are being brought together for the greatest crossover. The studio heard your voices and read your fan fiction: Steph Rogan and Chris Norton will star in a Harry Potter Vs. The Hulk movie.
