First Wonder Woman Still Released

It's a wonderful day to be a fangirl. The WB have been kind enough to release the first official image from the upcoming DC movie, Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot. The film which has officially began production this month, is set to be released June 23rd 2017. The movie also stars Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Ewen Bremner, Saïd Taghmaoui, Elena Anaya and Lucy Davis.

Gal Gadot will first be seen as Diana Prince in next year's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, the second film in DC's new cinematic universe.


Batman v. Superman Teaser Trailer Released

First it was leaked, then the leak was deleted, then the WB released the teaser themselves, which pretty much led to the DC fandom exploding. I think, anyway.


While I can't say I'm impressed by the trailer, I think I'm going to wait until the full trailer is released (supposedly on Monday, but given this trailer I'm not sure anymore). I am disappointed of the lack of Wonder Woman in the trailer, though. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Batman: Arkham Origins Video Game Review

Hello, sorry 'bout that huge-o absence, haven't found the time to Blog the past few days (or comment, for that matter). But today is the long awaited review for Batman: Arkham Origins. Now, to be honest, I don't normally care about DC things. Normally. However, I was raised watching Justice League: Unlimited and Teen Titans, and Birds of Prey, and Smallville...so, I'm a bit of a DC girl. Anyway, I'd heard of these games somewhat before. I watched the trailer for the upcoming Batman game (Arkham Knight, I believe?), and I had to admit the game looked interesting (plus it had Harley in it, and I've just recently became a fan of her). Anyway, James from J and J Productions suggested that I try out the games one day.
 Well, that day came sooner than expected, as my mom won this game in a giveaway, and me and my Dad gave the game a shot. And it actually was pretty darn fun. But, anyway, onto the review.

Synopsis:
It's Christmas Eve, and while all those in Gotham City are asleep in their beds, the criminals of the underbelly of Gotham are loose on the streets, wrecking havoc. When several different assassins are ordered to kill the supposed mythical Batman, he is lured into a much bigger threat-one that will change Bruce Wayne's life forever.

Review:
This was actually a pretty fun game. However, I'm not afraid to admit that it was a pain in the butt. Seriously, it took us a night and a afternoon or so to beat one of the bosses (hem, I'm pretty sure those who've played the game could guess who). Beyond the toughness of the bosses, and the occasional, 'wait, what am I supposed to be doing?' moments, the game was fairly easy. It introduced us to characters we know and love (Minor Spoilers: I loved seeing Oracle, especially the age she was, so it was around my age), and also gave us surprising moments that made me go 'No. No, they did not....' well, I can't say why I said that, 'cos of spoiler reasons, obviously
The graphics were surprisingly well done, and now that I'm half way through this review, I realize I have no idea how to write a review for a video game. The story itself was pretty good too, but I think it could've done with some humor. But, I guess this is Batman, not Spider-Man, so....
   So, in all, the game was fun, but tough. That's pretty much all I have to say, because, like I said, I have no idea how to review video games.

Overview:
4/5
