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?

Man of Steel Film Trailer Review

The success of Christopher Nolan's Batman film series signaled the creation of an even more serious Hollywood take on Superman's story. Summer of 2013 marks the year when will see the Man of Steel fly again. This new Superman film will be under the wing of the same director who brought us 300 and Watchmen, Zack Snyder with the aid of Christopher Nolan as the man behind the story and producer in bringing Comics' Superman originally by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster back to the big screen.

The Man of Steel will be another origin story of one of the most well-known DC Comics superhero of all time, Superman. The trailer for the Man of Steel film looks very promising besides the fact that Nolan and Snyder will be two well-recognized people working behind this 2013 superhero film. A more compelling origin tale of Superman with amazing visuals and hopefully better story, acting and presentation than what we have been presented before with past Superman television series, animated shows, and past films. We here at CMAQUEST are particularly looking forward to what this potential new film series (ala Nolan's Dark Knight series) has in store for us when it hits the theaters on the Summer of 2013.

Jonah Hex - The Face of the Old West's Super Antihero

Another comic book based movie adaptation will soon hit the theaters once again in the form of a rugged old western antihero named Jonah Hex. Jonah Hex movie adaptation is set on the old west and revolves around a bounty hunter bound by a personal code of honor to protect and avenge the innocent at any cost, and when I say at any cost... I mean every pissible way. This is probably the reason why Jonah Hex is considered an antihero. Check out how his story will be presented on the big screen on June 18, 2010.



Jonah Hex Synopsis
Premise

onah Hex (Josh Brolin) is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone ... and anything. Having survived death, Jonah's violent history is steeped in myth and legend and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the "other side." His only human connection is with Leila (Megan Fox), whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. But Jonah's past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can't refuse: In exchange for his freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich). But Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah's oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead. Based on the legendary graphic novel, "Jonah Hex" is an epic adventure thriller about one man's personal quest for redemption against the vast canvas of the battle between good and evil.
