Zombie Batman & 4 More Comic Plots That Need To Be Movies!

“Welcome comic book lovers, welcome moviegoers to the 36th CRAVE article…”

I love the idea of a comic book movie, specifically a DC movie, that has our favorite superheroes… duking it out as zombies: Blackest Night written by Geoff Johns would probably be incredibly bizarre and scary, but definitely won’t make it to the screen any time soon, since the DC movies have tied themselves together to form a unified wall, blocking out some of the weirder, other-universe plots.

My second favorite from the list is Judge Dredd vs. Aliens Incubus, mainly because I absolutely adore everything H.R. Giger; I love the films, including the Alien vs. Predator franchise, –this movie might actually get made. It has a better chance than the other one, and we need a new Alien movie, it’s about the right time. Check out the source article to see the other three topics that NEED to be on screen.

The Next 10 DC Comics Movies

In a week THICK with comic book movie news, a 10 movie slate of DC comic book movies has been announced! From “Batman V Superman” in 2016 to “Green Lantern” …

So! This guy talks fast, but he gets the information out there: first! Batman v Superman obviously. But then, Suicide Squad, –and then what? Phew. Every time I hit the space key… oh well. Anyway, in 2016, Suicide Squad will have -everybody-, including a lot of the villains we’ve been waiting to see for like, forever, –and then in 2017, it’s the standalone Wonder Woman movie.

She also has a cameo in Batman v Superman, –and then later that year, there will be the first Justice League movie. And there’s still… The Flash, and later, Aquaman! with Jason Momoa, so hot, ugh, god. Yum. But alas, not until 2018. In April of 2019, there’s Shazam, and in June, the next Justice League movie, –but we won’t see the characters from Justice League get there own movies until 2020, like Cyborg, who gets to be in Batman v Superman, and then The Green Lantern, maybe, in 2020. Phew. I’m nowhere near as fast as this goober. Watch the video. Jeez.

‘Fables’ is Going to Be a Movie: Written by Jane Goldman, She Who Penned ‘Kick-Ass’

Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class) is now scripting the ‘Fables’ comic book adaptation, which Nikolaj Arcel (A Royal Affair) is set to direct.

Woot! I have been wanting to read Fables for so long, –and now I have a good reason to make it a priority. Terrible, I know, but what can I say? I was kind of hoping Neil Gaiman’s Sandman volumes might be chosen at some point for an adaptation, but alas, I suppose not.

I’ll have to go out and get caught up first. The movie probably won’t be out for a long while, and it’s like there’s a race between Fables and The Sandman actually. Btw, if you haven’t read the series yet, it’s about fairy tale characters, quite a lot like the TV show Once Upon a Time, actually, except a bit darker and more sexy.

‘Constantine’ May Not Be Cancelled: Stay Tuned for More Developments from NBC!

“NBC TV Series Constantine returned for its ninth episode, this time in a different time slot. All-season long, the show based on the popular DC Comics Hellblazer has been trying to get its ratings up.”

Sad but true: Constantine isn’t doing well, despite multiple attempts to move the show to different time slots, or improve viewership among adults 18 to 49. I don’t understand the problem: the comics were great, the movie was great, tons of fans of Keanu’s Constantine as much as there are tons of fans of the Hellblazer comic series.

But not many people are watching it, and NBC is just not wanting to keep things going. It’s still being thrown back and forth as to whether or not to keep the show on the air. So… if you want to keep it from being cancelled… watch it when it airs, not later online!

Get Ready to See Henry Cavill As Superman for a Long, Long Time

“When Henry Cavill signed on to play Superman in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel , he signed on for one hell of a commitment.”

He’s not only going to be in the movies, but also “plays” Superman in the whole DC Universe: he’s basically going to be the one and only Superman, not just for one time, like Edward Norton’s off and on appearance as The Hulk. According to the source article, he’ll be Superman until 2019.

But honestly, how long is that, really? Especially since there’s only like, one DC movie released every year, so what, that’s 4 more movies, tops? Maybe 5? I dunno, considering how much money the movies net, then at least he’ll be rich.

Jared Leto Tells Fan ‘Batman Is Dead’

“With three words, Jared Leto has stirred up DC Comics movie fans…”

Jared Leto is going to play the new Joker character in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie, and when a fan told Leto that he reminded him of Batman, Leto told the fan, “Batman is dead.” So… wa Leto just be douchey and not minding his manners… was he kidding, or just making an offhanded comment?

Or, …gasp! Was Leto hinting that Batman is getting ready to die in the DC Comic Universe, –or at least, the cinematic universe. In most universes the Batman is still alive… but will Joker actual kill Batman? Sigh. I wish I knew: maybe Leto was just being douchey to a fan and it all meant nothing. Thoughts?

‘Weird Al’ Yankovic is Going to be a Batman Villain!

Pop parodist will pay the Dollmaker in upcoming DC animated film

Ermagerd! Sounds incredibly weird and creepy. No one has a voice like Weird Al; he’s always distinguishable, in like, any setting, and should be pretty interesting. Oh, by the way, if you’re not a Batman comic or cartoon buff: the Dollmaker was a villain in 2011 on the Batman cartoon. 

The Dollmaker is the son of a cannibal serial killer, and his whole thing is that he kills people and sews their body parts together. A bit dark for cartoons? Naaah…. The idea is sort of like that movie May (2002); if you haven’t seen it, you’re missing out. The Dollmaker makes… dolls, out of his dead victims.. after chopping them up and sewing them back together.
