Deadpool X-Men Spin-off has been confirmed!
2hrs ago Fox announced that a Deadpool is confirmed it will be released in February 12th 2016. Deadpool movie will come out before X-Men Apocalypse. Causing many comic book movies to dominate in the 2016 box office such as Batman V Superman, Captain America 3, Sinister Six movie, Venom movie, Dr. Strange movie, and a possible Shazam movie. Ever since that awful introduction of him in X-Men Origins: Wolverine its time do justice for the character but thankfully because X-Men Origins: Wolverine is supposed to be ignored because of the alternated timeline of Days of Future Past were going to have a different Wade Wilson than what we saw in Wolverine Origins. Deadpool will have a brand new storyline and whole new redeeming start. Hopefully the Merc with the Mouth won't be silenced like he was last time, so now we can finally see the true psychotic side of Deadpool but not have to disregard the funny and witty side of him. FOX has the chance to bring a obscure violent comic book character that can have the potential to break the forth wall. Ever since Guardians of the Galaxy the audience are willing to give a try many other unique characters that you can never image seeing the on big screen. Because of Deadpool's action packed and funny nature, there are many none comic book reading-movie going demographics that can possible gravitate for such a hysterical character. Ryan Renolds will also return for the character once again to show the audience Ryan Renolds is serious enough show the moments of Deadpool, which we will love to see. It also unconfirmed if this movie will be rated R or PG-13 but if I wanted to bet my money on gambling table I bet my money that Deadpool movie will be rated PG-13 so FOX can reach for wider audience than a limited audience.
So overall want do you think of the news are you excited for a Deadpool movie? If so comment below.

This Week Superhero Movie Roundup: Bat-Mobile, A Possible Legions of Superheroes Movie, A Darker Venom Movie , Spider-Man possibly in Sinister Six, Charles Xavier being Bald in the Upcoming X-Men Apocalypse Movie
1. My Thoughts on the Bat-Mobile.
This are full image of the Bat-Mobile which is mainly combined with Nolan's Tumbler and Batman Arkham Knight Bat-Mobile. Many people complain that the Bat-Mobile dose not look like a "Mobile" enough which I think there are far behind that kind of dated style. Mobile should have more a combat look and darker tone that carries to the character of Batman. To me it would be silly for Batman to ride in a car that resembles the looks of the older Batman movies. Its time innovate Batman's Mobile to look and feel more tactical that will help him to face off his possible greatest ally Superman.
2. A Possible Legions of Superheroes Movie
Believe or not but thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy success many Movie Studios are willing to green light lesser known characters regardless is either Marvel or DC. This time we are in a age that we can possibly have a Legions of Superheroes movie which I never thought seeing in a movie theater all my life aside only looking it on paper. Now this is only a rumor surrounding Warner Bros. that they have plans for a Legion of Superhero movie alongside characters within the Justice League and Shazam movie. Well if this rumor is true than this has to be the greatest announcement from Warner Bros. DC must reach out to other lesser known superhero characters that are not involved with Batman or Superman. This is the only way that DC can build more movies and establish a wider diverse cinematic universe that can branch out not just the Justice League. If Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice becomes a smashing hit, which I hope it dose, be willing to see many DC comic characters that the average movie going audience have never heard of before.
3. A Dark & Gritty Venom Movie
A Standalone Venom Spin-Off Movie have rumor to be in the works for a long time but as Sony have been withholding Spider-Man from Marvel its looks like that Venom movie will become a actual possibility. Now rumor has it that Venom also known as Eddie Brock will be more of a darker portrayal of the Spider-Man Movie Universe. Which works for a just a standalone movie, you can't have a Venom movie that has a light hearted tone similar to the Amazing Spider-Man 2 tone and Guardians of the Galaxy it just wouldn't work. To make a Venom movie you got morph it to be more of a maturer and more of a serious tone. Eddie Brock is looked upon to many fans of the character as a tragic character, who once combined with the Venom symbiote he becomes a living monster that Spider-Man himself has a hard time trying to stop. But Venom isn't viewed as a villain Venom is also a anti-hero in many occasions who just have darker needs to hurt the enemy he despise. Many ways a Venom movie can also have ties and create the character Carnage also known as Cletus Kasady. Cletus meets Eddie Brock inside a prison when Eddie Brock's Venom symbiote morphs onto Celuts and creates a asexual red symbiote suit that once combined turns him even more into a mass murdering psychotic. Who is mainly worse than Venom because Carnage is basically a character who has no morals. So a darker tone Venom Spin-off movie with ties of Carnage is defiantly not for the little Spider-Man kiddies but will attract more to the teen and young adult Spider-Man fans and moviegoers. I'm hoping Venom movie won't be afraid to show darker aspects and characters within the Spider-Man universe which also can lead to more mature storytelling for the character.
4. Sinister Six....with Spider-Man
Many speculated that Spider-Man who wouldn't be Sinister Six which I doubted for a very long time. You can't have a Sinister Six movie and not have some sort of protagonist that will even the odds. Well two days ago Andrew Garfield addressed a statement saying:
I know more than I’m allowed to say right now. I can say I’m really excited about Drew Goddard, who’s going to be writing and directing The Sinister Six movie. And whether I’m involved in that or not is kind of immaterial
Mainly directors or Sony Studio overall wouldn't talk to the actors about a movie there not involved in and after reading Andrew's comment in the beginning it looks like Spider-Man could be featured in the movie but the bigger question how much screen time Spider-Man has? The Sinister Six that consist of various Spidey Villains such as Doc Ock, Rhino, Electro, Sandman, Mysterio and Kraven the Hunter and Vulture should have more time to develop as a team. So the audience can relate and understand there daring goals. If not than we have a Spider-Man 3 and Amazing Spider-Man 2 dilemma where the villains don't have time develop and the plot of the movie becomes over saturated because of too many villains and subplots. It weakens the plot of the movie and character development with each character. I'm still skeptical how well that Sinister Six will turn out as a full fledged super villain movie but looks like I have to see a trailer to understand the overall whole concept.
5. Charles Xavier Possibly Going Bald
James McAvoy addressed that he might be going Bald for the Upcoming X-Men Apocalypse movie coming in the year May of 2016. X-Men Apocalypse will be centered around in the 1980s where the X-Men will have to fight off a much bigger Global threat bigger than the events X-Men First Class and X-Men Days of Future Past. Without a doubt Professor X and Magneto exception of Wolverine of course, will be older. And the older the original X-men seem to be the newer the X-Men will appear. This will lead to many younger familiar X-Men such as Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Storm, Iceman and Angel and many more. A new Uncanny team of X-Men will have to come together and defeat a Apocalyptic threat that will harsh the entire world. A greater kind of threat I'm really looking forward on May.

The Rock confirms that he is Black Adam! Also with a Brief Personal Thoughts from Johnny.
THE ROCK IS BLACK ADAM!
Since a week of guessing and a long months of rumors Dwayne Rock Johnson has finally confirmed the most anticipated news on his Twitter Page that he will play Shazam's arch nemesis Black Adam. If your not familiar with the Black Adam character, Black Adam mainly obtains the same powers that of Shazam. Black Adam is also is the ruler of a fictional Middle Eastern Nation called Khandaq. Dwayne confirmed that Johnson's Black Adam character will be more of a anti-hero similar to his comic book counter part in recent years. Black Adam won't be a total super villain but he will be more of a complex and 3 dimensional super villain than your standard "twirling mustache villain." Which I'm excited about because I really enjoy troubled and more complex super villains such as Magneto from the X-Men series or Koba antagonist from recent Dawn of the Planet of the Apes movie. Type of villains that they don't see themselves as the "bad guys" but think there "accomplishing a greater good" just in a opposite direction than the protagonist. This role may help boost Dwayne Rock Johnson's career even more. The Rock has been staring in many worthy performances in the latest Fast & Furious series, Pain & Gain, Snitch and I thought personally he did awesome acting performance in Hercules regardless many people felt "Meh" or had negative feelings toward the Brett Ranter's Post X-Men 3: Last Stand directing. If this Shazam movie becomes successful critical and profitable hit than Dwayne may become a even huge and recognizable superhero hero action movie star more as Robert Downy Jr. But only time will tell when Black Adam and Shazam hit theaters sometime in year of 2016 or 2017.

The Four Reason as of why the DC cinematic Universe should have more Serious tone compared to Marvel's.
About week ago it was rumored that DC required a "No Joke Policy" for the DC Cinematic Universe even though it might have been a rumor many people were concerned of this small news. Many people scrutinize the Batman v Superman movie for having the same darker tone of Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. Because of this concern I would like to explain why a more serious tone Cinematic Universe could balance out Marvel more light-hearted universe in these short four reasons.
1. DC's Cinematic Tone
Marvel is really known for his more light hearted and action packed tone and DC has been recently have been making darker movies aside from Green Lantern movie with Ryan Reynolds. Before DC had announced a Man of Steel or a DC Cinematic Universe DC had been doing a lot of serious toned comic book movies such as V for Vendetta, History of Violence, The Losers, Watchmen, American Splendor and many more before Man of Steel or Dark Knight Trilogy arrived on the big screen. DC has a consistency of making more serious movies, so making them change there tone to be more like Marvel would not give them creative freedom to allow DC to make more grounded characters. Many people had problems with Man of Steel for being serious but regardless what you feelings toward the movie. Man of Steel showed the realism if Superman was a God among men. People reacted by calling the military against Superman and there was more destruction between Superman and General Zod unlike many other Superman movies. Man of Steel brought the serious tone and realism of what if a man with God like powers did came to our planet? Would will love Superman or would we will fear Superman? Man of Steel had the similar realism that the recent or past X-Men fans had with their movies. DC has more of a cinematic tone compared to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Tone where majority of the movies are more light hearted fun and exciting to praise upon.
2. Originality
I really enjoy the Marvel Cinematic Universe light hearted tone such as their Guardians of the Galaxy movie but it dose't mean I want that style on every movie. Captain America Winter Soldier and Iron Man had serious tones to make their movie have a ground breaking feel to it instead always trying be a joke fest such as Marvel movies like Thor The Dark World or Iron Man 3. I don't want DC trying to be like Marvel or trying capture Marvel's success. What I really want from DC is to have their own style and their own specific tone. I want DC to have more creative freedom to establish their own style and how they approach making their movies. I think it would be really boring for ever superhero movie trying to be the next Guardians of the Galaxy or the new Iron Man. We see want happen when DC tried to do Marvel's style with Green Lantern and it became a flop and we saw when Marvel tried to do more of a serious movie with Incredible Hulk and it under performed box office wise compared to the recent Marvel movies. DC should do to the original approach before everybody would point their fingers at DC saying "their just copy Marvel style and success."
3. A Different Audience Taste
I don't speak for everybody but if you love more action packed, fun or exciting comic book movies you might tend to go with Marvel Cinematic Side. If you like more dramatic, cinematic or serious comic book movies than you might enjoy the DC cinematic universe little bit more. Everybody have different taste when going out to see a movie and not everybody won't like the same thing. Many people don't like majority of Marvel's movies because of its and light hearted feel and many didn't like Man of Steel because of how too serious it seemed. It will it be wise for DC and Marvel to have separated universes with different specific tones. One universe is more light hearted and more fun and the other one is more grounded in reality. The two universes's tone would likely please a certain group of audience because you're not going to please everybody with one specific tone.
4. "DC's No Joke Rule"
Most likely this is a rumor when it was announced that DC will not allow having "jokes in their movies" which can be false but if Warner Bros. did actually meant what they say then let's dig deep what could be the meaning of the "No Jokes Rule?" Warner Bros. could have meant their not doing the kind of jokes what Marvel have done recently with their movies or can mean that Warner Bros are no longer playing around making terrible movies like a Green Lantern or a Jonah Hex. Beside people take things to heavily when people say that the Batman v Superman movie will fail for being too dark or serious. Which is silly because Man of Steel and Dark Knight movies that have more serious tones done successful going over their budget that allow Warner Bros to progress future sequels and continue with their cinematic universe. Also it seems like Batman v Superman will have subtle humor compared to Marvel where the humor isn't always blatantly throwing at you're face all time. Batman v, Superman will probably have a balance of humor to break the dramatic tension same with recent superhero movies such X-Men Days of Future Past and Captain America Winter Solider or the original Iron Man movie. It will be stupid for Batman v Superman movie without any Bat or Superman related puns in the movie. However, I don't think the Batman v Superman humor will be more relevant like the Thor Dark World style of humor where humor is added every ten seconds breaking away the dramatic tension between some heavy handed scenes. I don't mind Batman v Superman movie to have humor nevertheless I just don't want to humor to dumb down the serious tone of the movie as well.
Well their's mine four reason why Marvel and DC Cinematic Universes should have a different tone and style. Feel free to agree or disagree with this topic on the comment section.

Sin City 2 A Dame To Kill For: Review (May Contain Spoilers)
"Sin City is a place where you always want keep you're eyes open" so let's begin to unveil the moments of the dark corners of Sin City as I explain the Pros and the Cons of the sequel.
The PROS
The Atmosphere of Sin City
Sin City 2 A Dame to Kill For has everything you love from the first installment. This sequel has everything as to offer such as the sex, power, greed and the over all violence that makes this city so very much alive. Every corner on the street, every dark back alley and every whore house you'll see everything what makes this City so threatening. What I truly love about BaSIN City is the tone and pulp style. The City fits the consistence of all its dirty grimy characters that live among the turmoil. The Black & White gritty atmosphere of Sin City offers depth defying life of a God forsaken city. The City becomes its own character, which becomes its own worst nightmare to the residents who have to forced themselves to live in such a cesspool of utter crime. If you miss everything what makes Sin City so special than Sin City 2 will surely won't not disappoint one Hell of ya bit.
The Sordid Characters
Each character's inner Sins haunts there quest for vengeance or there selfish gratitude. Each character segments has there own specific story which center around various enemies or one main specific enemy. Joseph Gordon Levitt's character Johnny who is a cocky smooth-talking-daring-gambler that also has a disturbing relationship with corrupt Senator Roark. Nancy is suffering mental issues after the aftermath of the death of Hartigan. And Marv intervenes with both Dwight, and Nancy Callahan personal goals as he becomes the brute who helps them both to help them obtain there vengeful desires. If you wanted more Marv and was unsatisfied of his screen time from the first movie, well no worries Marv becomes mainly the center point of the sequel. Marv is tougher, rugged, and disgusting as ever. Marv begins the movie smashing heads, knocking cop cars off the road and blasting goons heads off with assault rifles. Marv breaths and adsorb everything sinful about Sin City and lets all out by killing everybody that stands in his way, well if he feels like it that is. Ava the Dame that every man who wants to kill for is also a intriguing dame. Ava manipulates the very men who are weak enough that will do anything she wants with the use of the power of seductive sex. Ava reminds me of Poison Ivy in away, because with a simple kiss Ava can make any man to be her footstool.
3D and Special Effects
Personally I would rather watch a movie in 2D than 3D any day because its cheaper and it doesn't give you a headache after stepping out of the theater. Thankfully Sin City 2's 3D delivers regardless you're personal gripes of having to watch a movie in 3D. When every flashy scene comes right out you're face its like looking through a real life comic right a front of you. The Special Effects dose not feel like flashy throwaway effects at all. The special effects respectfully blends within closely to its source material. The Black & White creatively mixed with some color to balance the moods with each specific character or a certain situation. Such as Johnny's "lady luck" being very bright among the rest who are in black & white. Ava's eye being viper green and Marv's eyes turning red as he speaks with Dwight in a heated conversation about Eva inside the saloon. Nancy glowing effects every time she dances naughty on stage. The certain colors and the flashy effects brings out the life and characters in a gritty black & white world.
THE CONS!
A Dame too Slow to Kill For
Many scenes are engaging that you don't want to cut you're eyes away from the screen but sadly the Dwight story arch becomes dull throughout until it becomes interesting it'll the end. The actual Dame to Kill For Story is so long and stretched out you'll be thinking during the middle of the movie"I wonder what are the other more interesting characters doing?" Josh Brolin portrayal as Dwight makes you dreaming the possibilities as Clive Owen reprising the role as Dwight. Josh Brolin being the leading man felt boring and hollow compared to Owen's. However, the whole first segment felt so boring and slow until the end you wish you could fast forward through all the slow and uninteresting parts. No doubt seeing Eva Green's Boobs and brief sex scenes are fun to look at but it shouldn't tied down the story and pacing of a 2hr movie. Unlike the first Sin City the slow parts felt more engaging and interesting which made you to be more invested to see the next character's segment. Sadly the slow dragging scenes in Sin City 2 felt like you have to go through a boring old black & white melodrama without any interesting scenes to keep you a little in tuned throughout the story.
Bad Editing
Beside the overlong scenes in Sin City I thought the editing for the movie was done very poorly. One of them is Mort's short segment as of him being a trusted husband, a slightly corrupt cop and being seduced by Eva Green's lustful body and seductive voice. In the middle of Dwight's story segment Mort's character felt so wasted to a point he shoots himself in the head and his story is just left out without any purpose or meaning. I thought Dwight's segment could have been edited out among many other long scenes. Also some of Johnny's scenes felt sloppily put together and some scenes just felt choppy. The hidden father and son chemistry between Johnny and Senator Roark's I thought it felt rushed and forgettable. Many character segment could have been cut down to save some of the audience a useful hour of their precious time.
THE VERDICT
7/10
Sin City keeps the classic Sin City style and tone as the first but there is no denying follows behind its better predecessor.
