Batman and Superman, together at last.

When it comes to DC, there are two marquee super heroes that the company has leaned on in lean times and boom.  These are Batman and Superman.  Batman has had a great deal of film success over the years, and the newest Superman movie has proven to be a blockbuster in its own right, too.  That’s a good sign for one of the most beloved comic book pairings in the medium’s history.  Warner Brothers has announced their intention to do a movie with both Batman and Superman.

In comic books, the pairing is known as World’s Finest, and there’s a history of some great conflict in that relationship.  Batman and Superman, no matter who plays which role, have always gotten along but not without some stress between the two.  Fortunately, it appears that the two movie franchises are going to officially join forces, with Man of Steel director Zack Snyder and writer David S. Goyer working on the script under the supervision of Dark Knight creative team Christopher Nolan (who is producing).

“Whilst our Dark Knight trilogy is complete, we have every confidence that Zack’s fresh interpretation will take the character in a new and exciting direction. His vision for Superman opened the door to a whole new universe and we can’t wait to see what Zack does with these characters,” said Emma Thomas, one of the producers on the new World’s Finest movie.

Expect the team-up to hit theaters in the summer of 2015, with Henry Cavill taking up the Superman mantle opposite a brand-new Batman actor.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
