Green Arrow Superheroes and Villains in Season 1 of ARROW

If you haven't already been watching the new television show ARROW then I gotta let you know about all the great superheroes and villains that have been making appearances in the show...

#1. Green Arrow / Oliver Queen - Well obviously, he's the main hero of the show!

#2. Felicity Smoak - Computer hacker - in the comic books she ran a software company, but in this case she is Oliver Queen's go-to-girl for all things computer geeky.

First Appearance: The Fury of Firestorm #23 (comics); Season 1 episode 3 "Lone Gunmen" (Arrow)

#3. Walter Steele - The CEO of Queen Consolidated.

 First Appearance: Green Arrow Vol 4 #1 (comics); Season 1 episode 1 "Pilot" (Arrow)

#4. Merlyn - The Arch Villain of Green Arrow... In this case there is actually two of them. Merlyn Sr and Tommy Merlyn. So far only the older Merlyn has shown any skill in archery - having beaten Oliver at his own forte.

 First Appearance: Justice League of America #94 (comics); Season 1 episode 1 "Pilot" (Arrow)

 #5.  China White - Chinese Triad Leader.

First Appearance: Green Arrow Year One #3 (comics); Season 1 episode 2 "Honor Thy Father" (Arrow)

#8. Black Canary - The future wife of Oliver Queen... complete with fishnets!

First Appearance: Flash Comics #86 (comics); Season 1 episode 1 "Pilot" (Arrow)

#9. The Huntress / Helena Rosa Bertinelli - Oliver's brief romantic squeeze in one episode - but also the future Batgirl and wife of Bruce Wayne.

First Appearance: The Huntress #1 (comics)

#10. Deathstroke - Highly skilled mercenary Oliver fights on the island.

First Appearance: The New Teen Titans #2 (comics), Season 1 episode unknown. Mask seen in "Pilot" (Arrow)

#11. Speedy / Red Arrow / Roy William Harper Jr. - Oliver's future sidekick.

First Appearance: Speedy I: More Fun Comics #73; Speedy II: Green Arrow vol 3 #2 (comics)

Special Note!

There is actually two versions of Speedy - the other being a female version. Not sure if she will also make an appearance.

FINAL NOTE

While there is no plans to have Bruce Wayne / Batman appear in the season 1 of Arrow, it is possible he might make an appearance in season 2. Batman and Green Arrow are long time allies and share many similarities since they both lack super-powers. Plus the fans would LOVE appearances of Batman. Should be interesting...

On February 11, 2013, ARROW was renewed for a second season by The CW. Ratings for the show are reportedly through the roof!

All the recent fuss about archery in movies has caused demand for archery lessons in Toronto to skyrocket.

THOR - Four Stars out of Five

ENTERTAINMENT - Want to see a fun, action packed comicbook-based film (and based on a Norse god)?

Well, then I recommend Thor.

Saw it yesterday, I give it four stars out of five.

Without ruining the plot for you, I am just going to say I enjoyed the plot, the action, the romance and the ending.

Don't forget to sit through the credits and watch the extra scene at the end.

The Stars are Twittering

Some of you may already be familiar with this new microcosmic form of blogging known as 'microblogging', and its pioneering site, Twitter.

If you're not familiar with it, here it is in a nutshell: SMS length 'updates' or 'bits' that can be posted over the internet and received through regular RSS, IM, or mobile text messages.

Twittering has become a novelty for some, and a form of expression for others.

But the upshot is, a few celebrities are now getting on board, and obsessive fans can keep up with their comings and goings 24/7 via their cell phone. I recently notice this little news bite in my Twitter newsletter:

There's also some folks who've been twittering from comic-con, the
big comic book convention in San Diego, California. Check out
Agent M from the folks behind the scenes at Marvel Entertainment
and actor/writer Wil Wheaton on Twitter for a little peek into the
comic book industry's biggest shindig.

Agent M: http://twitter.com/agent_m
Wil Wheaton: http://twitter.com/wilw


If only I had known this last week!
Oh well, I have now added Wil Wheaton to my Twitter. Yup. That's how much of a geek I am.

Who are the Watchmen that you will be Watching?

Ah Comic Con is in full swing on the West Coast which means comic news is going to be coming fast and furious over the next little while. I'm going to blog the highlights of what I hear (I'm not there so it'll all be second hand) and provide links to better version of the story.

First up and roaring out of the gate is confirmation on Watchmen casting. If you have not read Watchmen, stop reading, hit a Chapters or comic shop, buy the paperback (or if you have the cash the amazing absolute edition) and read it and then come back. After you read it, you'll know why I'm excited and frightened by this coming to the screen. This is kind of like Lord of the Rings for fantasy nuts.

Jackie Earle Haley is Walter Kovacs/Rorschach
Billy Crudup is Dr. Manhattan
Malin Akerman is Juspeczyk / The Silk Spectre
Matthew Goode is Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias
Patrick Wilson is Night-Owl
Jeffrey Dean Morgan will play The Comedian

(pics available at http://www.aintitcool.com/node/33449 )

I'll be honest, I have not seen many of these people in anything. Haley apparently was nominated for an Oscar for a movie called "Little Children" but I have not seen it. In fact the only credit of his listed on IMDB that I can say 100% sure I've seen is The Bad News Bears...the original one. Crudup I know from Almost Famous and Big Fish. Patrick Wilson does an amazing job in a small thriller called Hard Candy which was one of my favorite films of last year. The rest I don't really know.

But before everyone starts critiquing the casting choices and saying things like "How can Crudup be Dr. Manhattan? He isn't 30 feet tall or blue!" I'd like to present some things to calm fan boy minds.

1) Zach Snyder. The dude has performed two film miracles. He created a remake of a Romero zombie film that wasn't only not horrible, but it was pretty damn good. he also took a graphic novel that not many outside of comics had heard of or read, called 300 and made it into a movie both faithful to the book and a blockbuster.

2) Micheal Keaton. When he was chosen to play Batman, everyone, including myself thought it was a terrible idea. Who thinks that now?

3) Hugh Jackman. No one had any clue who the dude was until X-Men came out. And he wasn't even the first choice. First choice was Doug Ray Scott.

So take heart fanboys. Yes it is one of our most cherished books but there is possibility it might not suck.

Iron Man solidifies a Marvel film universe.

Alrighty this is a little old but it has been completely confirmed that Samuel Jackson has a part, most likely a cameo in the Iron Man film.

Now who could Sam the Man be playing....hmmm, I wonder.....

Yup, Nick Fury. Which means the Marvel Universe is starting to interlock a little more in terms of the films.

The Ultimate version of Nick Fury is based off of Jackson's likeness, who else is he going to be playing.

What? You didn't know that? Talk to the repulsor cause the face isn't listening.

See how I slipped in a joke to show you the new picture?

Lots of Nerd News

Man, today has been filled with tons of geek news so I'll go over bits and pieces.

Video Game Goodness
It's E3 and there is a ton of game news...well maybe not news actually a lot of grandstanding about why "My system is better then the others guy's". Nintendo bragging about their sales figures...and why the hell not? A lot of people were starting to think Nintendo was going to head the way of Sega before the DS and WII appeared. So a lot of stuff was said and very polite smack was talked and there are much better reporters covering it then me, they've even got their own channel. So for all the news and video check out G4 on your tv or head over to their website, http://www.g4tv.com/

In the meantime, here's what caught my eye.

Nintendo
Zelda is coming to the DS and man it looks cool. Zelda: Phantom Hourglass appears to be very touch screen oriented which worries me a little (Starfox, I'm glaring in anger in your direction) but the demo looked really good and it's selling craploads in Japan.

The WII blaster...a connection to make the wimote and nunchuck into a lightgun...and a resident evil game to go with it...if they weren't so hard to find I'd buy a Wii just for that...except for the fact I want Halo 3 much worse.

Xbox 360
Saw a bunch of things we already knew about but at least saw in game demos. Left 4 Dead being a little bit of a surprise. Fast "28 Days Later" style zombies, team play...drool. Assassin's Creed looks like it's coming along nicely. There was also a demo of Rock Band, the guitar hero style game but with guitar and drums and bass. And yet another Halo 3 trailer...which shows The Arbiter standing beside The Master Chief on Earth looking at the sky.

Sony
Trumpeted their non-price cut price cut (the current PS3's will be dropped by $100 which would be a step in the right direction except it's because they're bringing out another version with more memory at the higher price) and the line up of games on the way...not many of which are exclusive. That may even include the new Metal Gear. But they've also got Lair which I admit, looks awesome, piloting dragons, wiping out armies. But the games are kind of moot if no one can afford the system.

The others
Plenty of multi platform games coming but the one that caught my eye was Stranglehold, the video game sequel to one of my favorite movies, Hard Boiled...ah John Woo before Hollywood ruined him.

Comics
A bunch of little items and then one big one.

- According to comic gossip columnist, Rich Johnston (yes we do have them, he's latest column is here ) The Punisher is having a baby.

- Jim Starlin is writing a miniseries for DC called Death of the New Gods.

- I saw the following at newsarama but felt it should be posted here as well.

From Jim Lee

To my fellow professionals, artists and comic book fans--In comics, we're always telling stories about people in life-threatening situations. That's thrilling in a comic book, but in real life it's the scariest ordeal you can imagine. Right now Gordon Lee, a retailer in Rome, GA, is facing the fight of his life. This August he will finally stand trial against two counts of distributing harmful to minors materials. He faces penalties of up to a year in prison and fines of up to $1,000 on each count if convicted. Gordon has been fighting to prove his innocence for almost three years. Fighting through being overcharged with two felonies and five misdemeanors, most of which were later thrown out. Fighting though the prosecution throwing out and refiling their case because the day before the trial they discovered that their facts were wrong. And now fighting against two remaining charges that are completely meritless. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has taken up the fight for Gordon, and now we need to help them finish that that fight.Right now, I'm asking you to join me in supporting the CBLDF's work on this case. To date they've spent nearly $80,000 defending Gordon, and they expect the trial to cost another $20,000 on top of that. To ensure that they have the cash on hand for Gordon's August trial, and to shore up their reserves for what could be a very litigious Presidential election year, they need our donations now.Please join me in supporting the Fund by making a donation of cash, original art, high-grade comics, or even some of your time (like I did in 2003 when I did a signing at Defender of Liberty recipient Chuck Rozanski's Mile High Comics as part of a CBLDF benefit auction). It's up to those of us who rely on comics for our living to stand behind the Fund in protecting our own. The Fund needs all of our support to win this case, where a conviction won't just harm Gordon, but its precedent could affect all of our livelihoods.To donate art or collectibles for the Comic-Con auction, please send an email to cbldf1@gmail.com to let them know what you are contributing. If you have it available, include a jpg of your donation so they can list it in their auction preview online. You can see my donation--a penciled promo piece of Batman for the upcoming DCU MMO--above.To donate money, go to Donations-CBLDF. To make sure that the Fund can include your donation in their Comic-Con auction preview, please be sure to get in touch with them with a jpg no later than Sunday, July 15. You can send the physical piece to their office until July 20th, or deliver it to them onsite at Comic-Con.Please join me in helping the CBLDF raise the resources it needs to win this important case. If you have questions or to let the Fund know what you're sending, email Charles Brownstein or Greg Thompson at cbldf1@gmail.com or call them at the CBLDF office -- 212.679.7151. And please send your contributions to CBLDF, 271 Madison Ave, Suite 1400, New York, NY 10016 and tell them that I sent you!Thanks for joining me in support,

Jim Lee

And finally a little personal retrospective. Until the early 90's I had bought comics but never hardcore collected...until the first issue of Rob Liefled's X-Force hit newsstands. Just look at that art...alright today it looks over used and plain but back then it really stood out.

Liefeld's been an interesting character when it comes to comics. Left Marvel to help form Image, thus helping to start a revolution in comics. Then goes back and takes over a couple of marvel books along with fellow creator Jim Lee and then get's kicked off of that and then get's kicked out (or leaves depending on who's version of the story you're ready) Image and forms or joins hands with numerous companies all the while only releasing a comic seemingly every few years.

This is not to mention the feuds he's started or snide remarks he's made about others (including his former Image brothers) or remarks made about him.

So lo and behold I was nearly knocked on my ass when I saw that Rob had teamed up with his former cohorts at Image to reprint old Youngblood material and print new Youngblood material.

You can read the story here and get a good view of the whole Liefeld story here.

Now the real question is, how long till the first new Youngblood comes out after it's supposed to and how long between issues? I say 3 months late for issue 1 and a year for issue 2.

A new take on an old wound: Behind the Mask review

I love the 80's slasher flick. Out of all of the horror villains from the area, Jason Voorhees is a personal favorite. He is both murderer and righteous hand of God all in one (eventually I'll do a post explaining that idea).

So when I started hearing about this new take on the 80's standard I was interested and then when I heard it was mixed with Blair Witch style "documentary" footage...I was a little less interested.

Now don't get me wrong. The original Blair Witch film was good and somewhat original (unless you've seen Cannibal Holocaust but much like that first Sex Pistols gig, more people have said they've seen it then actually have) and if you saw it like I did opening night before the huge hype, it was an amazing theatrical feat made with no money.

I just hate all of the rip offs that came after.

Which meant I did not further explore the movie I had heard bits about...until I went and rented it on dvd.

Which brings our long winded journey to my review of Behind the mask: The Ride of Leslie Vernon.

And I am impressed. Simple version, not amazing but definitely worth seeing because it is something special.

The film follows a bunch of college interns who are following Leslie Vernon as he prepares for his first appearance as a Jason style bogeyman in the town of Glen Echo. It is fairly comedic as we see him train (apparently cardio is very important so you can keep up with your victim) , visit his mentor Eugene (a retired killer played by Scott Wilson, great character actor) and set the house up where he's going to murder a bunch of teenagers just the way he likes it. I particularly like the parts with Eugene, especially when you figure out that his wife is a survivor.

This part is very witty and well written. It's similar to the explaining of horror conventions from Scream but not nearly as snarky. This part is also shot differently, half in documentary style and then switching occasionally to full panovision film. Surprisingly it is cut incredibly well so these interchanges are not jarring.

And then we get to the second half of the movie which becomes a slasher flick with a twist.

Won't give any spoilers away but it was a twist that was well played (maybe a little predictable but maybe I've seen too many horror movies).

I am really interested to see where filmmaker Scott Glosserman goes from here. Underneath is the trailer, I highly recommend giving it a rent.

The Bat Cycle

Well Apparently Batman gets at least one new toy in The Dark Knight. It's kind of a motorcycle thing called The Bat Pod.

Found the picture on aintitcool.

The New Bat Suit

Not much to say other then it's a pic of the new Bat suit. A little more tech looking then the one in Begins but hopefully it fits. Taken from Entertainment Weekly and aintitcool.

(revised, I found this better looking version of the pic)

The Bad Comic Book Movies and TV

Megan brought back a lot of painful memories with her Legends of the Superheros clips. I have been a life long comic book fan and one of those things that always lit up my smile was when we heard about a Marvel movie. I grew up essentially a Marvel guy with DC overtones so after Batman (Burton version) came out, rumours started to fly about other projects. I'm old enough to remember the hype of the James Cameron version of Spider-Man that was never to be. Unfortunately I'm also old enough to remember other painful things. Things some of you are curious about but much like bad crack, if you try them because your curious you may end up with brain damage and horrible scarring to your psyche.

So as a public service, I figured I'd round up some of the bad I've seen, tell you why you should not see it and saving you the anguish that I've already gone through.

Captain America (1991)
See Cap Throw His Shield! See The Red Skull! See Cap walk from Alaska to Florida in a matter of hours...no I'm not kidding. What a hunk of crap. The Red Skull appears in costume for maybe ten minutes and then when we see him in present day he had facial Reconstruction surgery so he doesn't look like the Red Skull...not to mention he's not even German in the film. Now why the Hell would you do that? The Cap costume itself is a little weak but I just blame the time period on that.
Surprisingly I could not find the trailer to the film but I did find some footage from people who actually like it.



The Fantastic Four (1994 version)
My dislike of both The Fantastic Four comic and the 2005 film are pretty well known and can be summed up into one word: Crap. However as much as I dislike the current version, the 1994 version is worse. It is an hour and a half of your life that you will never get back. The worst part was that this was essentially a deal maker. The film company (headed by B-movie god, Roger Corman) had the rights to do a FF movie but not the budget. Time was running out on those rights and people with money were actually looking at the project (most notably Chris Columbus who had lots of money at the time due to Home Alone). But in order to maintain those rights, Corman's company had to produce something...and produce something they did.
Here's the trailer:



Justice League Of America (1997)
Ok. You're a television exec for CBS. Superheroes have become cool and you need to cash in. You have the rights to several DC properties. Solution? Make a JLA show. Wouldn't that be awesome with Superman...wait can't use him due to a movie in the works....But yous till have Batman and Wonder Woman....nope can't use them either.

So we'll use Green Lantern (Cool), Martian Manhunter (cool), The Atom (alright...could be ok), and Fire....yup...Fire....ok...and Ice.... that's kind of lame but could work. The Green Lantern is going to be a mash up of all of the Green Lanterns but we'll call him Guy Gardner....why don't we just cancel it now before it gets worse.

And that boys and girls, is what they did. Oh and Winchester from MASH was Manhunter.





Now there are others that are mediocre. The Dolph Lungren Punisher movie, a bunch of Captain America tv movies from the 70's. but these are the worst. You can thank me later, for now I must lay down and take some advil.

Legends of the Superheroes

Continuing on the vein of strange attempts at comic adaptations, I've found Legends of the Superheroes. It was apparently a live action adaptation of Superfriends by Hanna-Barbara, which aired on NBC in 1979. Notice that Adam West and Burt Ward reprise their roles as the dynamic duo, and this version of the Superfriends appears to include the Huntress (a personal favourite of the DC canon). The choice of her inclusion, I am assuming anyway, is due to the omission of Wonder Woman.



The last clip is part of a celebrity roast by Ed McMahon.

Batman vs the Joker vs The Alien vs The Predator....wah?

Howdy. A conversation with a friend and a recent trip to a comic convention brought back memories or fan film and pilot episode bootlegging. The first convention I went to there was a guy with a stack of video tapes of things I never knew existed to be seen. Sure I had heard about footage from Jedi that wasn't in the film and a Justice League of America pilot that was shot but never went anywhere but I had never seen them before. In some cases (Roger Corman Fantastic Four movie I'm looking at you) it was time you will never get back and images that were burned into your eyes.

Then every once and a while a gem appeared.

I was with my buddy Dave at a convention when I saw this little thing.



Is the premise nuts? Yup but not to far off from comics hat have been published. But up until Batman Begins it captured Batman in his best form. Both in costume and attitude. Notice that he didn't kill the Predator? Batman summed up powerfully.

Sandy Collora created the short fan film for career purposes to show he could direct. His website can be found here.

And the Joker? He was played by Andrew Koenig, son of Walter (Chekov from Star Trek) but more importantly he was Boner in Growing Pains.

This Batman is bigger then the last in more ways then one...

Gee I wonder who that guy who's in purple in the back is? Yes we've got a few more official pictures to go along with an awesome tidbit of info regarding The Dark Knight thanks to this nice little article at USA Today.

At least four of the action sequences will be/have been shot with the huge IMAX cameras and IMAX film which means when you see these sequences at an IMAX theater they will be true IMAX not just a blown up print.

Which means if it's as good as Batman Begins, I will want to have Christopher Nolan's babies.

Howard Webster skips the ad agencies in his search for Graphic Novel sponsor

Although I'm sure this could fall comfortably into Chittendango territory, I'm going to cover it because I think this is just fascinating.

Howard Webster, the creator of what he calls a 'second-generation graphic novel' by the title of The Many Worlds of Jonas Moore, decided he wanted sponsorship for his work, but didn't want to tangle with ad agencies, whom he feels don't 'get' the online space. So he...I kid you not...sent out hundreds of letters to companies that marketed products that could fit comfortably into his story. He eventually settled on Triumph motorcycles.

Now, I use the term 'graphic novel' loosely here, since it's really sort of in between a static grahic novel and an animation. Check out a preview to see what I mean.

But this idea impresses me nonetheless- why shouldn't they hunt down their own sponsors? Obviously the creator of such a work would know what fits into the story most comfortably, and that by extension, can improve the experience for the audience. It's not about turning the work into a commercial- it's about capitalizing on what's already there.

I suppose a debate could rage on for hours about whether inserting brand logos into a game or animation or graphic novel should follow the same principles as traditional advertising or not.

Check out the article on Clickz.

Giving Nerds a bad name

I have been a comic book reader as long as I can remember. The first comic I remember was an Incredible Hulk comic with the Abomination in it that my grandfather bought for me on the way to the cottage.

For a long time comics were not cool to be into if you were older then 10. I was and waved my fanboy flag high and proud. I remember when the Spider-Man movie coming out was to be directed by Jim Cameron.

Flash forward, I'm now in my late 20's, reading and writing comics are now much more acceptable. Hell I have converted a gorgeous 30ish exotic dancer to reading comics.

But every once and a while something gives us a bit of a bad name.

Apparently slow news day on last Thursday caught up with the statue you see on your screen. Now apparently Sideshow Collectibles has created a line of statues with Adam Hughes (good artist, but excels at drawing hot women) to do a naughty girl line of Marvel comic statue thingys (they're calling them Comiquettes...whatever that means).

Now I don't particularly like the statue. I don't think it's a great version of Mary Jane and the pose itself is just kind of weird but I can understand others who would. This is not the kind of thing minors can afford (the price tag for this sold out limited edition statue thingy is 124.99 US) so that doesn't bother me. The fact she's doing laundry doesn't bother me; Mary Jane is Spidey's wife, believe it or not, even with the highest amount of women's lib, you live with someone for over a year let alone how many they've been together, you are probably going to do each other's laundry at least once. Hell, I've done a little laundry of women I've lived with who I wasn't dating.

What bothers me is MSNBC did a piece on it that you can see here and it is just plain bad.

Who the hell got the guest for this? Feedback? A dude who won a reality show to be a superhero? Was there no one at Marvel to answer a few stupid questions? Did anyone at MSNBC even think about talking to anyone at Marvel?

Some how I doubt it.

Well that was quick

Alrighty, remember how I posted the new Joker image as seen at aintitcool.com was found on a connected website?

Well that website www.Ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com has now changed. Now when you go there you get a Page Not Found.....

Unless you highlight the page and then you get a ton of Ha Ha's along with a few letters that aren't right.

Having a little experience in this sort of stuff due to the promo stuff for Year Zero, I dug a little more. There are a few letters that don't belong. What do those spell out?

"See You in December"

Any bets that we are getting a teaser around Dec?

The Joker revealed and John Rambo kills people

Alrighty, looks we got out first look at The Joker in the Dark Knight thanks to the fine folks at www.aintitcool.com

I had fears due to the fact I wasn't sure about Heath Ledger as the Joker but well this picture is make them fall a little to the ways side. A trailer with the voice of The Joker is what I'm now waiting for.

And now for something completely different, if you've been reading the blog, you've probably noticed I like violence in my violent movies. I don't like real violence, I think murder is bad. But if you put it in a movie, make it have consequences. Blood is a great start for instance (The Condemned, I'm looking in your general direction disapprovingly).

GOD BLESS SLY STALLONE!

This dude has been making some crap ass movies for a while but Rocky Balboa sold me that he is still a force to be reckoned with.

Well now he's brought John Rambo out of retirement and Good Lord, John Rambo is kicking ass taking names and then kicking their ass and filling the screen with machinegun fire.

Now much like Rocky, I keep First Blood separate from the sequels. First Blood is a dramatic masterpiece of action cinema. The rest are fun movies which blow things up.

This looks like the later but still awesome.

Thomas Jane thankfully has some balls!

I thought The Punisher was decent. Not great but decent. But what was great about the film was Thomas Jane as Frank Castle. He was The Punisher, by the end of the film you knew he was a fucking bad ass among bad asses.

Well Aintitcool brings us word that Jane has dropped out of The Punisher 2 from Thomas Jane himself.

You can read the whole article here but the important quote is the following.

"What I won't do is spend months of my life sweating over a movie that I just don't believe in."

Bravo Mr. Jane, wish there was more people like you in Hollywood. I loved Jane as the Punisher but if the movie is going to be a piece of crap I'd just prefer it not to happen. Like League of Extraordinary Gentleman, love the concept, comic book, cast, director, sets and effects but the script was bad and even all of those things could not save it from being a bad movie. I wish Sean Connery had seen it like Jane does and said "I love the idea but I ain't making it unless it's right."

Alan Moore got married

Comic book legend Alan Moore married his long time companion Melinda Gibbie over the weekend.

Other comic book legend, Neil Gaiman was kind enough to take photos.

While I know this sounds like somewhat boring geek news, Alan Moore had the best wedding suit ever.
