Batman v Superman leaked trailer video and review

Hey guys,

I just found online a leaked version of the trailer that is supposed to be released next monday. Several versions of the same trailer have been circulating since last night but due to rights infringment the trailers have all been taken down so watch this while you still can and then I'll give you my opinion on it.

So, the trailer we had long been waiting for is finally here. It is clear from the trailer that unlike the Dark Knight Returns storyline, in this movie it will be Superman who is considered to be a threat for the planet and Batman will step up to defeat yet a new nemesis.

I did like the fact that the trailer showed us different variations of the Batsuit  (which all look awesome by the way) and also the shot of Ben Affleck in the Batarmor challenging the Man of Steel.
The second best part of the trailer for me was hearing what appears to be Jeremy Irons saying: "That's how it starts, the fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men cruel".This line gives the trailer and possibly the movie a sense of epicness.

The undisputed best part is the end when Batman tells Superman: Tell me, do you bleed? You will!!", and speaking of the voice, I believe that Ben Affleck as Batman has a really good, menacing voice.

So tell me, what did you think of this trailer? Are you more excited for this movie now that you've seen the trailer?

The Flash 1x17 Tricksters review

Hey guys,

this show is exceeding every expectation I've ever had. It is difficult, in my opinion, to surprise fans when some of them are familiar with the source material, to get them excited and to have them fall in shock when they realize what has truly happened. Despite knowing the source material, this show is taking me back to school and it keeps on surprising me.
I completely loved this episode. Lots of positives like:
1. Mark Hamill is back as the trickster and his son has fallen into his footsteps. First of all it was nice to have Mark Hamill on the show and second of all it was nice the way they tied him into this new universe considering that he was the trickster in the old tv show.

2. Henry Allen now knows about Barry and met every member of Team Flash. I thought it was awesome to see Barry vibrate through a solid object in order to get rid of the bomb, however I found it odd that he chose to vibrate through a very long truck as opposed to something slimmer. The whole speech given by Eobard/Harrison to Barry to guide him through the discovery of yet another power was breathtaking. When he mentioned the speedforce I literally jumped out of my bed.

3.But without a doubt the best part of the show were the flashbacks where we saw the way Harrison Wells became Eobard Thawne. I loved the explanation that that person from the future gave to the Reverse Flash about him not being able to tap into the speedforce. I like that they keep on giving scientific explanation as to why things are happening.

One of the negatives remains the character of Iris West and her inconsistencies. I don't like her and I also did not understand why Barry had to reveal himself to Eddie in order to convince him to lie to Iris.

...and just when the episode ended the promo hit and that shocked me even more. We are in for an exciting show in 2 weeks.

The Flash 1x15, 1x16 review

Hey guys,

the 15th and the 16th episode of the first season are basically the 1st and the 2nd part of the same episode. They are all set in the same day relived twice by Barry who for the first time broke the space time continuum. Episode 15th left us shocked in its last 7 minutes, the best and most intense 7 minutes that I've ever seen in a comicbook adaptation. The revelation of the identity of Dr. Wells the revelation of Barry's identity to Iris and Barry travelling back in time are scenes that should be amongs the best moments of this season. Unfortuantely the second part of the episode wasn't as good as the first one and that was easy to predict. It is hard to top what happened in the Out of Time episode.

One thing that left many puzzled was that in this episode there weren't two versions of Barry and to me that is perfectly understandable when I think about. There can't be two versions of Barry in such a limited time. I believe that Barry will be able to meet a past or future version of himself only if he travels very far into the future or very far into the past otherwise his body will always merge with his past or future self.

Overall the Flash has been doing an awesome job at telling the origin story of Barry Allen and at keeping us on the edge of our seats for many months. There's still a lot we don't know about Eobard Thawne but the season finale is close and all we'll be revealed soon.

Even though it probably won't happen I would love to see way down the line a flashpoint paradox storyline which over the course of a season could influence not only the Flash tv show but also Arrow and perhaps the new untitled spinoff show and ths Supergirl tv show. We definately don't wanna lose Eobard in 7 episode and I do wanna see Flash and Zoom go at it in the past present and future.

Arrow Season 3 Episode 14, 15,16 & 17

Hey guys,


I apologize for the absence of the past month but Arrow hasn't been at his best lately. Honestly I feel like Arrow has lost its way. Either the screenwriters are focusing more on The Flash this year or they really have lost their inspiration when it comes to our favourite archer. Though Stephen Amell truly brings this character to life, I feel that the whole storyline surrounding Ra's Al Ghul is a bit ridiculous and way out of place. I get that they want to make The Arrow the center of the universe since Batman and Bruce Wayne do not exist in this one but I feel that they are trying too hard to steal some of Batam's famous story lines and adapt them to The Green Arrow.

Another thing that has been bugging me over the last few episodes was the sudden dislike towards Felicity. She's gone from being one of my favourite characters with her intelligence and her jokes to being one of my least favourite. Now she's always talking about her feelings and complaining I truly hope that her relationship with Ray will come to an end because I am also starting to dislike The Atom as well.

Without even mentioning the disaster they have done when they decided to have Laurel become the Black Canary, I would just like to add that I really hated the fact that they killed Deadshot off in this episode. If on the one hand I really like that they showed us his back story, on the other hand I can't help to think that the only reason they killed off such an important character is because someone from DC/WB has asked them to. I am afraid this is the last time we've seen the Suicide Squad in action on the Flarrowverse.


With that being said, I still think that in the next episode the tables will turn. Laurel is now training with Nyssa, Diggle Oliver and Roy are a very solid team and maybe with Brandon Routh's going to star on his own spin off show Felicity will become a likable character once again.
We'll just have to wait and see and hope that the Lazarus Pit will bring someone we used to love back from the dead.

The Flash 1x14 Fallout review

Hey guys,

just finished watching the 14th episode of the Flash.The episode focused on firestorm once again, after the nuclear explosion. Martin Stein and Ronnie Reymond are back to being two separate beings, though they are still connected somehow.
This was, in my opinion a decent episode. Robbie Amell fit right away in Team Flash and he stole the scene most of the times, in fact the show is becoming more about Firestorm than about the Flash.
For me this episode had 3 major positives.
The first was when Stein totally geeked out when he understood that Barry, some time in the future, was going to break the space-time continuum. I thought that it was a really good move on their part when they decided to explain the possibility of time travel through science.

The second was the reunification and the improved Firestorm. It was awesome to see him take on the army and race back to Star Labs with The Flash.

The third and most shocking scene was Harrison Wells suited up as the Reverse Flash teaming up with Gorilla Grodd. That scene literally got me jumping out of my seat.
The mystery surrounding this character is not over yet. We still have to understand what his plan is, how he got his powers and why sometimes he looses them.

Overall I didn't have any major negatives about this episode. Iris didn't have many scenes which was good and to me the only negative is that the next episode will be in exactly one month.
Here's next week episode

Arrow 3x13 Canaries review

Hey guys,


Finally after two very weak episodes we have ourselves an awesome episode with Oliver back in driving seat or almost.
One of the biggest positives of this episode was the return of Caity Lotz. I enjoyed her return and the way she returned. We all missed her, but we have to accept the fact that her character was just introduced to inspire Laurel to fulfill her destiny as the Black Canary.

I also liked the tension within Team Arrow disagreeing on whether it was the right choice to team up with Merlin and whether Laurel made the right choice by deciding to fight crime. Oliver realized that he doesn't have a bunch of puppets he can push around anymore, but his teammates are almost his equal now and they have the right to state their ideas.

One thing that keeps bothering me is that neither Oliver nor his tea mates have taken into consideration the possibility of asking Barry for his help. After all he's perfectly capable of helping the Arrow defeat Ra's Al Ghul who we saw can be beat in the mid season finale. At one point during the fight scene we saw Oliver gaining the apprehend so Oliver with Barry's help would have no problems defeating Ra's.

Overall great episode and the teaser promo for next week features another return from season 2.

The Flahs 1x13 The Nuclear Man Review

Hey guys,

what an awesome episode we witnessed last night. This was one of the best episodes of the entire season so far because it didn't feature the usual villain of the week but it rather developed the story arc which is going to culminate in finding out who truly killed Barry's mom.

There were a lot of positives in this episode:

1. Cisco and Detective West investigating Barry's mom death. It truly was thrilling seeing them attempting to uncover the mystery. At one point I thought that those blood samples could have matched with Dr. Wells DNA, but the revelation that it was Barry certainly exceeded my expectations. I didn't think they were going to introduce time travel so soon.

2. Team Flash and Firestorm. I thought that the back story of Firestorm was very well narrated, and Robbie Amell really played the part well. I thought that the final scene, with Firestorm going Nuclear and Barry and Caitlin trying to escape the blast was mind blowing to say the least.

3. I also like the romance between Linda Park and Barry. I am glad that they had Barry move on from Iris ( at least for now).

The only negative for me was all scenes which featured Iris. I am starting to hate the character. I have never liked the approach of putting obstacles between people who are destined together, especially if that obstacle is another person. By that I mean, I hate that they are having Iris be with Eddie but at the same time be jealous when she's not at the center of Barry's life.

Overall awesome episode with a great teaser at the end, let's only hope that Iris gets less and less screen time.
