Gal Gadot Wonder Woman Costume Revealed
After the shock announcement of the Batman Vs Superman movie at last years San Diego Comic Con, all eyes were on DC to see what they’d give us this year. And they did not disappoint. Director Zack Snyder treated fans to a brief glimpse of the upcoming film and even gave us a first look at Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.
Gadot was announced as Wonder Woman back in December last year but this is the first glimpse of the hero for the new film which isn’t out till May 6th 2016. With just under 2 years till release, Snyder and Co were rather quiet on announcements at the panel, with no mention of Jason Mamoa’s Aquaman yet. But the new glimpse of Wonder Woman’s get-up is sure to keep fans talking for the time being…
New King Kong Movie Announced
Whilst DC and Marvel have been dominating Hall H at this year’s Comic Con , Legendary Pictures had a nice trick up their sleeve with the announcement of a new King Kong movie entitled Skull Island.
Slated for release on November 4th 2016 Skull Island surprised fans with a trailer that at first looked like it was a first glimpse at the upcoming Jurassic Park sequel. But whilst the shots of jungles were enough to have fans jumping to that conclusion, the addition of the legendary ape himself at the end, wiped away assumptions that Isla Nebular was being shown.
The announcement has already given fans the idea that, next to the announcement of Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla sequel, this could be the beginnings of an expanded universe in Legendary’s monster movies and that perhaps we may see Kong and Godzilla together on the big screen someday…
4 Things That Need To Happen On 24
It’s been nearly 2 weeks since 24 left our screens once again after returning from it’s 4 year absence with Live Another Day. And, whilst a panel at comic con has been and gone (the highlights of which you can see here) The question that EVERY 24 fan has been asking since the show ended has still not been answered. When will Jack be back?
Although it was touched upon at the comic con panel when director Jon Cassar was asked about the possibility of directing the much discussed feature film, no confirmation of further Jack Bauer Power Hour’s were announced. But on the upside, no denial was either.
So while we wait in anticipation for Fox to tell us something, ANYTHING, what better time to have a think about what should happen if 24 were to return to our screens. Below are some suggestions of what can be done in terms of story and character:
1. Kill Jack
Now, bear with me on this. Although Keifer Sutherland is undeniably the star of the show, we can’t deny the fact that he can’t play Jack Bauer forever. So what essentially needs to happen to continue the show without everyone’s favourite sleep deprived agent is a tasteful death. The only way fans will get any closure on Jack’s character is for him to be killed off. After 9 seasons of saving the world over and over again, perhaps the 10th should end with him sacrificing himself for his country.
This way the show can continue with someone else in the spotlight. Perhaps Yvonne Strahovski’s Kate Morgan can carry on where Jack left off. She’s certainly proved herself worthy enough in Live Another Day. Basically if the show means to carry on for a few more seasons, then probably the best idea is to give Jack the happy ending he deserves. And yes, whilst killing him doesn’t sound happy, it’s certainly better than the crap he’s been put through over the years.
This also means there won’t be any constant wondering of where Jack is in future Bauer-less seasons. Because let’s face it, if Bauer is written off in a way in which he is believed to be kicking back on a holiday resort somewhere sipping on a martini and another threat comes along, the only thing that will be going through our heads as the new protagonist struggles through the day will be ‘why don’t they just call Jack?’
2. Bring Back Kim
Assuming Jack is killed off, or even assuming he isn’t, Kim Bauer deserves to come back in some form. Whilst the brief reference to her at the beginning of Live Another Day was nice, what would be even nicer is to see her in the flesh. The latest we heard about Kim was that she had another child, a boy. And the worst thing was that we never found out his name. So at least confirm that she did the right thing and named her son after her hero of a father and we’ll be happy right?
3. Bring Back Tony Almeida
There really aren’t too many classic characters still breathing that need to be looked back at. Frankly, Kim, Chloe and Tony are the main three. Whilst we had enough of Chloe to keep us satisfied in Live Another Day, Tony is still in prison somewhere answering for his crimes from Day 7. It has been confirmed however that we will have an extra in the upcoming DVD of Live Another Day which answers fans questions about Tony, having him back one last time wouldn’t hurt would it?
4. Finally Get That Film Announced!
If Live Another Day proved anything, it’s that there is still a love for 24 out there. In the 4 years between Day 8 and the latest season, possibilities of a 24 movie were constantly in discussion. With Sutherland heavily behind the film. Live Another Day has certainly shown that the show is popular enough to come back after years of being off air so why not finally give us the movie? What would be good is if the movie was Bauer’s swansong, ending with his death and thus allowing for the show to continue after the movie’s been done. Plus who wouldn’t pay to see Jack Bauer kick ass, take names and yell ‘DAMMIT!’ on the big screen?
Honourable mention: Bring Back CTU
It can’t be just me who misses the ring tones?

Ben Affleck Batman Portrait
DC Comics has released that latest image of Ben Affleck as Batman for the upcoming Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice. The image below is a pretty intimate snap, getting so close you can practically touch the neatly stubbled chin dimple. It also follows the classic Batman motif of brooding in the darkness. Though someone should probably warn Affleck that this time unlike Daredevil he is atually allowed to open his eyes.
