Suicide Squad ISEKAI Anime Series Trailer Review

So what is there to say about the Suicide Squad ISEKAI announcement trailer for its upcoming anime series? Being a big fan of anime, the isekai genre, and DC Comics characters; I can say I am pretty hyped up for this anime. This is not the first time that popular Western comics characters are used by Japanese animation studios to make an anime (movie or series); Marvel Future Avengers and Batman Ninja are two recent titles that comes to mind. What is new though is the ISEKAI aspect of it. While there has been an oversaturation of anime and manga titles that uses this storytelling trophe (Overlord, Jobless Reincarnation, Log Horizon, Konosuba, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime), none of it used established character from popular and notable Western counterparts. This upcoming anime series from Warner Bros. Japan and WIT Studio delves into the idea of what if DC Comics' Suicide Squad got transferred, teleported, or reincarnated into another world or "isekai-d". How will this group comprising of anti-heroes or villains (depending on how you view them) handle a fantastical world full of magic and supernatural creatures, which if we think about it, it's not that far off from the usual world and cities they came from (Gotham City, Central City, Metropolis, etc.).


From how it looks on the trailer, the world they will be teleported into is a world full of magical beasts including dragons, orcs, knights and magic. The big question is will Amanada Waller and Joker be also teleported to the world as they seem to be in the real world. Harley Quinn has been the face of the Suicide Squad and she is beautifully animated, thank to WIT Studio. Which members of the Suicide Squad will join her and am curious as how they would look like as well (I am particularly looking forward to King Shark). Hopefully, there is a tight script and a good reason as to why they will do what they do. A group of unlikely allies operating under a common goal (not dying). I will be monitoring updates regarding Suicide Squad ISEKAI and hopefully it will be a good one.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow Trailer Impression: The CW's Justice Society for DC Television Universe

DC's Legends of Tomorrow or simply Legends of Tomorrow, is 2016 U.S, superhero television series which will be aired on The CW with an unspecified date in 2016. This superhero team-up series is a spin-off from The CW's successful Arrow and The Flash television series existing in the same fictional DC Television universe. What is the Legends of Tomorrow first look trailer has in store for its DC and television followers? Let's check it out here.


The CW DC's Legends of Tomorrow
Premise

Time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter must assemble a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat to the planet…and to time itself. DC's Legends of Tomorrow is coming soon to The CW.

Legends of Tomorrow TV Trailer Review






Now on to the meaty part! As a big fan of the new contemporary superhero television series, the DC's Legend of Tomorrow first look is simply bad-ass. We know that not everyone will be satisfied with how DC will interpret the beloved DC characters and storyline, and this is why DC is doing it right when they separated the DC Cinematic Universe from the DC Television Universe. Most of those familiar with the DC Comics Universe have expressed that this is the Justice Society made for television which is spot on as the Justice Society and its incarnations are simply various DC superheroes teaming up minus Batman and Superman. Well, for a detailed explanation or break down of what Justice Society is, you can always check the Justice Society on Wikipedia. Who knows they might make an appearance (this is me with a wishful thinking).


The Legends of Tomorrow cast of characters includes Dr. Martin Stein a.k.a Firestorm (played by Victor Garber), Ray Palmer a.k.a The Atom (Brandon Routh), Sara Lance a.k.a. White Canary (Caity Lotz), Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill), Kendra Saunders a.k.a. Hawkgirl (Ciara Renée), Mick Rory a.k.a. Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell), Leonard Snart a.k.a Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller), Vixen, and Vandal Savage appearing as the main antagonist of the season. Well of course Arrow and Flash will be making their appearance on the show but this series will be more focused on it's main protagonists mainly Atom, Firestorm, Hawkgirl, Vixen, Rip Hunter, White Canary, Captain Cold, and Heatwave. Since it is going to be in 2016, the guys at The CW have a lot of time setting up characters like Hawkgirl with its own spin-off series and how Sara Lance formerly known as Black Canary lived to become the White Canary. It gives off an Avenger (movie) feel to it when the Legends goes up against Savage's men. Well it is only natural for an "immortal" super villain mastermind to have minions, right? Why do we need a band of unlikely team if there isn't anyone to pummel? Also The Atom finally shrinks. Will he show it in Flash and Arrow television series is beyond me, but The Atom's original ability form the DC comics universe is to shrink (equibvalent to Marvel's Ant-man). I am also looking forward to see the chemistry and how the varying attitude of the team blends in given that it is a mixture of heroes and villains (referencing the Flash being double-crossed by Captain Cold in the Flash season one television series.)


How about you guys? What do you think about the upcoming 2016 DC superhero team-up created for television by The CW? Is the trailer enough to build hype? What do you thin of the premise, the mixture of superhero and villain line-up? Share your thoughts on DC's Legends of Tomorrow first look trailer in the comments section below:

CBS Supergirl Trailer Impressions: Superman's Cousin Taking over Television

CBS Supergirl television series is based from DC Comics character Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino. Kara Zor-El is the biological cousin to Superman and one of the last surviving Kryptonians. Supergirl is another DC Comics superhero television series joining the ranks of The CW's Arrow (2012) and The Flash (2014), Fox's Gotham, and the now defunct NBC's Constantine (2014). Let's check out what CBS has in stor for us with Supergirl this 2015.


CBS Supergirl
Premise

It's not a bird. It's not a plane. It's not a man. It's Supergirl. In the new drama from the world of DC Comics, Superman's cousin, Kara Zor-El, embraces her superhuman abilities and becomes the hero she was always meant to be. This Fall on CBS.

Twenty-four-year-old Kara Zor-El, who was taken in by the Danvers family when she was 12 after being sent away from Krypton, must learn to embrace her powers after previously hiding them.[1] The Danvers teach her to be careful with her powers, until she has to reveal them during an unexpected disaster, setting her on her journey of heroism.

CBS Supergirl (2015) Television Trailer Review






So what can we say about the Supergirl First Look Trailer released by CBS this May 13, 2015? To start off it is giving off this lighthearted girl-empowering drama feel to it which is still good in my personal opinion and preference. It seems to be more lighthearted which reminds me a bit of The CW's The Flash in it's earlier part of the season, but will eventually tone down a bit (gearing to a more serious or darker tone) for it to be taken seriously - a standard nowadays when it comes to superhero television series.


I am not that familiar with the Supergirl mythos or her villains. I only know her at some extent with various DC Animated movies released earlier and the Justice League animated series. This is potentially a good show to get audience become familiar with or picque their curiosity with the super heroine. Some things I've noticed is: (1) Superman is heavily referenced in this series which is good because you can't really go on so without; (2) appearance of Jimmy (James) Olsen from the Daily Planet is another Superman reference, which could indicate other characters from the Superman story might appear in the show. Will we see Lois Lane or Lex Luthor here is yet to be see; (3) Her foster sister seems to be associated with the Department of Extra-Normal Operations which could explain how she got exposed to this organization (as seen in other press releases); (4) this trailer is quite a handful and is enough to build hype for the series. I am also liking the humor shown so far in this trailer. It is really shaping up well for the DC Television Universe. It is a good thing that Warner Bros. Television decided to separate the TV Universe (Arrow, Flash, Constantine) from the DC Cinematic Universe which is WAY darker and unforgiving. Now if we can only get to make US Television companies (CBS, Fox, The CW) agree to do more crossover episodes (without compromising the premise of the entire series) then that would be awesome (epic even)! I am hopeful for a good quality Justice League live action television series in the not so far future.


How about you guys? What do you think of this new DC superhero hitting the television airwaves? Did you like the CBS Supergirl trailer or not; Why? Are you familiar with the Supergirl storyline and its villains? Whether you are or not, will you be watching it when it debut on Fall 2015?

The Dark Knight Rises Official Trailer Impressions: Christopher Nolan's Batman Ends with the Rising

The Dark Knight Rises Film Trailer Review

All good things must eventually come to an end. The epic finale for Christopher Nolan's Batman is soon at hand and for those who watched the first two films , there will be no doubt that they will see this conclusion. For those who haven't seen the first two films, all I can say is that you are missing out on something very special and I suggest you go watched them first if you are curious with this third Batman film installment.



It is a good trailer for Batman 3 The Dark Knight Rises. It didn't spoil the fans of the DC super hero by showing too much of the villains, heck it didn't even showed you Anne Hathaway in her Catwoman costume and Bane in his juiced up hulking form, if that is not effective teasing for Batman i don't know what is. Then we have the very generic plot as to why Batman must eventually come out. But to what part will Selina Kyle/Catwoman play in all of it is still left to movie goers and fans enthusiastic imagination and this is why this is such a great movie trailer. It is a definite recommendation for CMAQUEST, and we can't wait for The Dark Knight Rises July 2012 release.
