  • CW announcement 

The Walking Dead Review!

"CLAIMED!"
Episode 15 "Us" was the second to last episode of the walking dead's fourth season. It saw the reunion of Glenn and Maggie in a moment that was less happy then it should've been. They got over it really quickly. We saw what was probably 5 minutes of the "rick group", We saw Daryl hold his own with his new hunter buddies but we still haven't seen Beth?! I think she might be at terminus. The episode saw nearly all the characters draw very close to the end of the train line and we even saw Glenn's group make it there! 
They were greeted by a woman who seemed nice but also seemed a little weird. The terminus had no defence or guards which is extremely strange for a camp in a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! It was a good, tense build up for the series finale which airs in the US today and in the UK tomorrow. I have no idea whatsoever what is going to happen in the finale. Surely it cant just be they all get reunited! I wouldn't like that at all. If they did do that it would be like they're trying to end the walking dead completely! which, by the way, they are not doing because the show has been renewed for a fifth season. Sorry if I scared you there! My review of the finale will be on next Sunday! Its a little irrelevant but i had to show you guys this picture!
SHE'S HAD KILLER REVIEWS!


Arrow Review and Preview!

THE HUNTRESS RETURNS, AGAIN!
Episode 17 "Birds Of Prey" was a cool episode! the fights between the Canary and The Huntress were really well done especially when Sara got thrown out of the window! For me The huntress is a brilliant character, they chose the right actress to play her but i just wish she would stay on the show! at least for a couple of episodes! The dialogue between Sara and Laurel was tense and really conflicting! they played the whole sister-sister well. There is one moment in this episode that i really liked, When Officer Lance called "The Arrow" and Oliver's phone rang but he covered it up by saying it was Moira. That was sooo funny! A moment in between all the madness actions and hostages that just makes you smile! It is there just to remind you that this is a superhero program. On to Roy. ahhh Roy. He got shot in his hand and said "it'll heal by tomorrow" POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT! in the comics Roy gets a bad injury from the villain "Prometheus" which lead to Roy having his arm amputated. The gun shot was a little nod to this moment. Whether or not it will actually happen? i don't know! Will we see the Huntress on Arrow again? I think we will.

Episode 18 is called "deathstroke" and this episode WILL be EXPLOSIVE! From the promo we can see that Oliver finds out that Slade has kidnapped Thea and Oliver wants to fight back! We also see that Slade finds his way to the police station, and who frees him? Moira of course! This will be probably the most action packed episode that arrow has ever had as the tension builds up towards the finale. It seems as though Oliver will fire another arrow into the eye of Slade! That's very interesting, how would that even work or make sense? I don't know but this episode will be cool and it WILL involve Roy Harper, A lot! The episode Airs on Wednesday in the US.


Will Gwen Stacy die?

DEATH OF GWEN STACY
In the comics, Peter has to face Green Goblin, just like he will have to in the film. In the comics the fight leads to a scene on a Brooklyn bridge when Goblin throws Gwen off of the bridge! Spidey tries to shoot a web to catch Gwen but it actually ends up snapping Gwen's spine and killing her. Really sad right!? After this it kinda paved the way for Mary Jane to pick up where Gwen left off. Now, from all of the trailers we have seen for The Amazing Spider-man 2, They will tease this moment A LOT! so you will probably find yourself going "aaaagh", "Woah" and "Noooooo" every time Gwen is involved in an action scene. Some of the promotional pictures have been released and they show Emma Stone wearing an outfit on set that look a lot like the outfit she wears in the comics when she dies. Me personally, I REALLY don't want her to die in this movie.
"I LEARNED MY LINES
AND EVERYTHING"
But i think there's a high chance that she will. Sad times. Initially, Shailene Woodley was cast to play Mary Jane but her parts were removed! That might mean that Gwen will not die! or they didn't want to overcrowd the film so they left her out for the third movie. Emma Stones contract is for three movies. But she could just be for flashbacks or hallucinations in the third movie. The Studio are keeping this bridge scene VERY, VERY secretive just to keep it as a complete surprise for the audience. My final point is.. Would they really let children see Peter kill Gwen? I think not. Well at least I hope not!



CW Announcement!

Just quick note!the CW will announce their fall schedule on May 15th. This is when we will get the date of The Flash pilot! It is also very likely that the Scarlet speedster (Flash) will get a promotional trailer for his pilot! looking very much forward to it! put it in your calenders!

Follow me on Twitter! @The_BlogOfSteel and tweet to me about what you wanna hear! Next week I will do a season finale review for the walking dead, Review Arrow, talk about anything else I feel a lot of people are talking about and as always I will inform you about any superhero movie/TV updates! see y'all next Sunday! peace out!

Action and Reaction!

Hi guys!, its that time of the week again! Sadly, there isn't any Bat Vs. Supes updates to tell you about. However, its not all doom and gloom because this week we have.........

  • The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Final Trailer
  • Arrow Review (episode 16) & Preview (episode 17)
  • The Walking Dead Review (episode 14)
  • My complete opinion on Bats VS. Supes so far! 

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Final Trailer

Yes, This means that there will be no further trailers released for TAS2 however the movie is less than a month away! April 18th in the UK. So, if you're like me you would be sooo psyched for this movie, it looks good, the first one was great and Andrew Garfield is the best Peter Parker/Spidey that the world has ever seen! Sorry Tobey! but its true. 
"I'm Amazing Too" :-(
Woop Woop that's the sound of the police!
So before you continue reading make sure that you have actually seen the final trailer. Here's the link. i don't really have to say much about this do i. Its gonna be one helluva awesome, quirky, quick witted and fun spidey film with high production swinging and fighting sequences. Not to mention the new cast members who received near to no hate such as Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn. I started off by hating him but from seeing the trailers I kinda like him now! But yeah this film looks absolutely AWESOME! April 18th is the release date, it might just be Marvel's best film ever! seeing as though spider-man is Marvels core character. They owe it too him to give him the best film the Marvel audience has ever seen. 



Arrow - Season 2 episode 16 review and 17 preview

Episode 16 of arrow was the "Suicide Squad" it was, as predicted a very Diggles centered episode. I just want to start by getting one thing straight, i like Diggles but i didn't really want flashbacks of Diggle's life. The show is called Arrow not diggles. On the up side, the episode featured the suicide squad which did include a Harley Quinn voice cameo. We never saw who it was! interesting. Will we see her again? i want to. but i don't think we will. Shrapnel died, that was kinda fun! and i really liked Deadshot in this episode. He played his role very well and managed to play as part of the team and managed to not get killed by Dig. The flashbacks were very pointless and not really enjoyable. There was a part that i did like however. The part where we saw Diggle's kill the kid that he thought was an enemy. This purely just to show he deserves to be part of team.

"Hey, where's oracle?!"
Episode 17 is "Birds of Prey" any comic fans reading this will know that they are a team consisting of Black canary, Huntress and oracle. Just to be clear, Oracle will not be in the episode. and huntress and canary (Sara) will not get along especially after she was Oliver's ex and she kidnaps Laurel. Sara will be pretty angry! and it will be a very even fight. The huntress did have about a year to practice her skills, improving from a lot that she already had, even though Sara trained in the league of shadows so she should win. It does seem as though this episode will again feature less of Arrow himself. It will be centered around the Lance sisters and the huntress.





The Walking Dead Review

"don't worry..... I didn't hurt her brain"
Episode 14 of The Walking Dead season 4 was called "the grove" and it was by far the most messed up episode of the walking dead this season. I'm talking about Lizzie and Mika. Well actually just Lizzie. She was convinced that the walkers weren't going to hurt her so she wanted to prove it to Carol but she wasn't listening. Lizzie knew that to prove her point she had to do something a little bit more powerful so she kills Mika. yes, SHE KILLS MIKA! wtf?! it was up there as one of the saddest moments in the walking dead so far. Just to remind you about how painful the scene was, click here for the scene sorry the quality isn't that good. I actually believe that this may have been worse than Sophia's death. Purely because i always had a small suspicion that Sophia was dead, but I NEVER EVER saw this one coming. It made me despise and
Tag! you're it!
sympathize for a character at the same time! something that only the walking dead can do to me. It was definitely the best moment this season, i mean in a really psycho messed up way! The end of the episode left me feeling two things; it left me feeling really sorry for Carol and it left me feeling that The Walking Dead has got its spark back and sets up amazingly for the last two episodes of the season. well done Walking Dead you have my attention once again!


My Complete Opinion on Batman Vs. Superman

Yes, you heard me, im going to give you my full opinion on the upcoming DC powerhouse movie due for release in 2016. It has been the topic of sooooo much controversy ever since Ben Affleck was cast as batman. Ok, i am probably one of the only people you will read that says im really excited for this movie. I'm ok with the castings and im confident that Zach Snyder will do another fantastic job just like he did with Man Of Steel. Some people will have read that and said "YES! finally" other will read that and say "You're wrong." Well its my opinion, live with it! 

I'm going to start with Affleck. He is a great actor and director and his film Argo was award winning. He has a better muscular build than Bale did and so he will look very awesome in a
Fake! just showing you!
batsuit. Affleck's mannerisms and personality in Runner Runner were very cool and in clips of that film, I see a solid Bruce Wayne. If the suit does look like the Arkham games then its perfect, we pretty much have a real life Arkham Batman, whats wrong with that? Ok, now onto Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. I am a huge fan of fast and furious and i loved her in them! she was badass and she hated men thinking they were better than women. Perfect for Wonder Woman.
Fake Again!
 She is thinner than past carnations and she isn't very muscly however she can train and build muscle. She can train in martial arts. She has the face of Wonder Woman and its not about body shape to play the character. Shes hot. What more do we need; she can act, fight, she is hot, and she can get stronger. Stop hating! I've already talked about Eisenberg as Lex in one of my past blogs. I'm extremely happy with this choice. Henry Cavil was very good in Man Of Steel so i am very happy that they kept him on for the sequel and i think his characters personality will oppose Afflecks Batman and will Suit Gadot's Wonder Woman.The costume was done very well and Wonder Woman and Batman will follow that trend. I'm Super - over the freaking top - excited for this film and i have no doubt in my mind that this film will be super BADASS! and will destroy anything that Marvel try. Sorry Marvel fans!!

That's it for this week! sorry if i got a little tempered in that last section there! but im passionate about it! what can i say! If you are reading this from the USA you will most likely have already seen episode 15 of the walking dead, sorry it comes out on Mondays in the UK :-/ So! as always, comment tell me what you think of this weeks blog and even tell me what you want to hear about next week. Even if its not about superheroes! i don't mind. Please click the follow button near the top and share this blog anyway you can! text link, Facebook, Twitter anyway you can!

Sunday 16 March 2014

Web-slinging, Arrow shooting, Joke Telling, fast moving Awesomeness!!

Whats up guys!! hows your week been? mine has been pretty crap to be honest! There hasn't been any major updates this week :-( and there was no arrow. sad times. However! this week I will be..............

  • Previewing Arrow
  • Giving you my thoughts on the Flash suit
  • Talking about The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game
  • Reviewing Ride Along

Arrow

This week sees the return of arrow after another break! It returns with the 16th episode of the season "Suicide Squad" In the comics the suicide squad is a team of high wanted criminals who form a team to undergo secret black ops missions for the government in exchange for shorter prison sentences. Its clear that this version of the squad features Diggles who was recruited by Amanda Waller. Its a badass squad. And its also a highly dangerous situation for Diggles seeing as though he was involved in putting each one of them into prison. Good Luck Diggles!!
we would presume from the promo that their mission is to track down deathstroke and of course because its his show arrow joins in on the action. We see that Slade must be tormenting Oliver as he sets up the pole with the Deathstroke mask on it just like it was on the island. I don't believe that we will see Oliver and Slade face to face again until the episode called Deathstroke (episode 18) which would probably be the big fight!!! Arrow airs on Wednesday in the US. I'm gonna be honest im not that excited for this episode but im sure its gonna be awesome, it always is!


My opinion on The Flash Suit and more flash pics!

"whats wrong with my neck!?"
*batman voice*
I want to start by saying that i think it looks awesome! the mask is great and we knew that when we first saw it announced. The costume consists of a jacket, pants and boots. The color schemes are burgundy and dark gold. OK, its not red, but so what! it looks cool and realistic! and come on! at least its not spandex! its a cool dark red leather jacket which looks like its done up with a zip! REAL. and his pants are the same color with black lightning bolts on either side. It looks like Grant has easy movement in the suit and so he wont look awkward when trying to move, Sorry Christian bale!come on! I love the trilogy but his neck looks stupid and awkward. If you compare the pics, we see movie and TV budget! we also see a great attempt at designing a very hard costume! In my opinion The Flash costume has always looked a little silly, until this one.
 It looks great. The CW network have stuck to the same design as the Arrow costume, we need consistency. Also the arrow costume in daylight doesn't look the best. Just saying! Now on to the logo, its small and the red part is usually white but i think white adds comic/fantasy to the suit but that's not what we want. we want realistic badassery and that's what this costume is. I'm really happy with it and i can not wait for Flash's pilot!  Stop hating, The Flash is getting his own TV show!!! 


The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Video Game!!!

You see! i'm not biased im talking about Marvel! and the sequel to Marvels game incarnation of Andrew Garfield's spider-man! the first game, was..... good?! it was better than it could've been but it was just like the game versions of Tobey Maguire's Spidey! they were pretty much the same game. However I bought it, played it and liked it! it gets a bit repetitive and the story wasn't great. But it was generally a fun game! Now the sequel looks like its a coming of age for Peter as Spider-Man as the protector of new York. 
The game features Electro, Kraven the Hunter and Kingpin. That's pretty epic! This games events will take place alongside the events in the movie. Now, in this game the world has been expanded and detail has been improved. Players will be able to roam the city as Spidey and in some cases as Peter without the suit. COOOOL! The game, like its previous, has various costumes, however this time each costume has unique abilities. The costumes announced so far are; Iron spider, Noir, Symbiote, and Cosmic spider! so all in all, this game looks pretty coool, there are a few rumors about venom and carnage but nothing is official yet. These villains might also be Easter eggs for future movies, who knows! this game looks fun, cool and like the previous so i think its a good buy! Click here for trailer!!




Ride Along!!!

"My stomach and my ass!"
Ride Along is the action/comedy starring Ice Cube and probably the funniest guy around right now, Kevin Hart. The movies plot is that Hart wants to marry Cubes sister but Cube doesn't like him so he takes him on a ride along with the police, (similar to a bring your son to work day) and Hart has troubles stamping down his authority. figures!! The film has laughs all the way through and will keep you engaged. Its not the funniest film ever but its not horrible, Hart was definitely the best actor to play the part, his funny voice and faces makes the film. The film is very predictable and some of the jokes are common from other comedies. The film does bring its own identity and does well to create comedy that suits all ages considering that it is a 12A. 
The action scenes were surprisingly good when Ice Cube smashes people up and Hart makes us laugh in the middle of it all! However, looking at both of the actors, I fell like it should have had a 15 age rating, this would have let Hart feel more comfortable because he doesn't have to filter what he says or does. I feel like the comedy was a bit too scripted. It never really felt like it flowed naturally. We all know Kevin Harts stand up comedy is the best, so seeing him look like he is on a script wasn't the best. The comedy is held up high all of the way through and it keeps you engaged with story and jokes spaced out well, the film is only 1 hr 40 mins long so its what you expect, I liked it and it was definitely worth a cinema trip! i give it a blog of steel rating of 7/10.

Its Hero Knight!



There's no need real need to tell you what im talking about this week with a badass picture like that! But I will anyway. Here's whats we have in-store for this week:

  • A review the best episode of arrow I have ever seen
  • A talk about the next game in the Arkham game series, Arkham Knight
  • Batman/Superman filming has begun!!!
  • The Flash filming has begun!!
  • Two important casting announcements for Gotham 

*quick note*- anyone who needs to translate the page can select the language from the language bar on the right.


Arrow Review

"The promise" was an episode which the producers and directors all hailed to be a game changer and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! it was sooooooo sick! sorry for that lack of description but it really was the turning point of this season. We saw this last season, around this point in time, Season 1 and its quality of episodes dramatically increased, it transitioned from "I might stop watching it" to "Its getting good now!"  and were witnessing something similar here its gong from "Arrow is really cool" to "Arrow is the best show I watched this week" we saw Slade learn the truth about Shado's death as they attempted to take the freighter. As you could imagine, Slade was pretty angry! to say the least. Plans went wrong Sara got back to the island and Oliver tried the same but Slade stopped him. Back in present day, Moira and Thea are taking "Mr Wilson"
 (Slade) on a tour of their house and Oliver isn't too happy about it. This is where Manu Bennett shines as Slade his language, mannerisms and subtle hints to his past are so entertaining in a villainous way. He verbally but subtly torments Oliver for the whole episode until Roy and Sarah show up. They surround Slade and Oliver says "What are you going to do now Mr Wilson?!"  and I loved his expression when he said it. As Slade leaves he tells Oliver that he has a team as well and that he will make Oliver's life a living hell just as he promised on the island. I don't usually rate TV episodes but this deserves a blog of steel 10/10. In the promo for the next episode suicide squad do we see Harley Quinn? It looks like her to me! 


Arkham Knight

Arkham Knight is the next game in the Arkham series. It is set after Arkham City and for those of you who don't know the timeline order of the games is Origins, Asylum, City, and now Knight. Because of this the joker will NOT feature in this game but fear not people! from the trailer, this game looks seriously badass! Bats has more gadgets in his arsenal and technology seems to have significantly improved. I'm talking about a BATMOBILE. that's right, a BATMOBLIE. Now I don't know if its just me blindly hoping but it looks like we may be able to DRIVE THE BATMOBLIE! 
if that's not enough to make you want to buy the game, you can also play as Harley Quinn with the pre-order bonus. This is just speculation, but in Arkham  Origins, there was a few references to Green Arrow. Will we see green arrow in this game?! I hope so but im very doubtful. If this is set after city then we could possibly have Nightwing, and maybe Red Hood? if we do, it just be a cameo I think. *sigh* But the game looks awesome and I definitely recommend buying it when it comes out. click here for the trailer. But I warn you, its very badass.


Batman/Superman update!

NBC Michigan reports that the filming of Superman/Batman has begun!! FIIIIIIIIIIIIIINALLLLLLY! Filming is taking place at a location on a camp in Michigan, that's why NBC Michigan reported it, I guess you figured that out though! The movie is code named "Sage and Milo." And the crew have constructed a whole house on the property. Michael Wilkinson is the costume designer for Bat/Supes and he was asked about his new designs where he said there will be "tweaks" made to the man of steel costume and he is very excited about his final product of the Batsuit however he didn't give much away at all. He was asked at the Oscars if he thinks that Wonder Woman fighting in her normal costume is a little silly and unrealistic and he said, "no, not at all." My opinion is that the Superman suit will look near enough the same to what we saw in man of steel. I think that the batsuit will be similar to the suit in the Arkham games and I think the wonder woman costume will be close to the costume in DC's new 52 comic series.

The Flash TV update

The Flash TV show's pilot has begun filming! and again, FFFIIIIIINNNNALLLYY!!!! the cast are up in Vancouver and they all seem very excited about what they are doing, we have already see the Flash costume and it looks really cool, we have a cast that's big enough for a pilot and we have a hype that's ready to see this pilot. It is still unclear weather or not the flash's pilot will be a backdoor on arrow or if it will be a stand alone pilot.
 I think now that the Flash has gained a lot of hype from his appearance on arrow, he will get a stand alone pilot which will air after an episode of arrow. As you can see, this is the set chair ready for Grant (Barry Allen). the logo, is the traditional flash logo from the comics with a few double lightning bolts around it. I am not too happy with this because I wanted it to follow the suit of Arrow, I mean in its modern look and realism and this logo, if it is the final thing, is very cartoon-ey! and looks a little bit like its not going to be a serious show. I will, however say, that the clapboard (thing used to shout "CUT") looks really flash-y! if ya know what I mean!!


Gotham Update!!

You should probably know by now that FOX is in development of a new TV show called Gotham which centers around a young Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) as he grows into his role as Gotham's most famous law protector working for the G.C.P.D. We will see a young, very young Bruce Wayne growing up as seasons go by. However, we will NOT see batman. We will see the origins of Gotham's most notorious villains. Hence the name Gotham. And it was announced that David Mazouz will be playing a very young Bruce Wayne and Camren Bicondova has been cast as Selina Kyle who fans will know as Catwoman. However, again, she will not become Catwoman unless the show goes to like season 10 or something! This casting was a bit weird seeing as though Selina will be older than Bruce. I don't get that! they will have an age difference of about like 4/5 years.  One thing im really looking forward to is the fact that I strongly believe that we will see the Wayne family Theater trip where they leave and Bruce's parents die. I think that would make for one helluva pilot episode!! news about dates of filming or release have not been announced yet. Stay patient. 



That's all of for this week! Bats/Supes is underway as well as The Flash!! I can't wait for them! Gotham has cast a Bruce Wayne which, as you can imagine, is a really important casting for a TV show based off of batman!! 
Arrow had the best episode its ever had and looks like it can only get better! could we see Harley Quinn? and Arkham Knight looks like it has had high development and it looks like they are going to try to be innovative to stop the hate that Arkham Origins received. This is easily achieved for me if I can drive the Batmobile! Like always, if you liked what you read, or even if you didn't, comment below!

Lights, Camera, Action


Brothers! sisters! Are you ready for battle?! (Gladiator voice) its been a very action packed time at the cinema this month and this will continue on through next month as well! That is why, this week I will be..




  • Reviewing Non-Stop
  • Previewing 300: Rise of an Empire
  • Previewing Captain America: The winter soldier
  • Previewing the next episode of Arrow. 
  • And I have Very exciting news regarding The Flash TV show

NON-STOP

So you probably already know that this film features Liam Nesson as Bill, an Air Marshall on a British Aqualantic airline flight. He is a drunkard who's really not coping with life because his daughter died of cancer. you can't blame him really! So you can probably guess from what you know and the picture that some crazy s**t goes down on this plane! Bill keeps receiving texts on his secure line saying that they want 150 million dollars or someone dies every 20 minutes. man his life is tough! The passengers on the plane start loosing trust in Bill because of his unorthodox, harsh tactics of trying to get information out of people. The film is very tense, very, very tense right from the start all the way to the end.

Neeson has his badass action scenes throughout with twists and turns that keep you guessing. You don't know who to trust! even the captain seemed to act weird. the methods he uses to try and find the killer are both smart and violent. My favourite scenes of the film is where the passengers have there seat belts on but Bill doesn't because he thinks Jen (a trusted passenger) is going to die. He runs down the aisle and the pressure in the plane is too high and they both go flying up to the top of the plane. It was AWESOME!!! The final scenes of the film are soo intense it gets really entertaining. I recommend you go and watch this film. I give it a blog of steel rating of 9/10.


300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE

This Friday is the release of the sequel to the action packed brutally badass 300. You wanna see action, violence, cool gladiator voices and ship wars? this is your film. This film does not feature the same actors as its previous film but the story will continue. It is set after the death of the 300 from the first film. Its the Greeks against the invading Persian navy. The film is directed by the visual director Zack Snyder which means its gonna be very very AWESOME looking. I have no doubt that the battle scenes will be filmed very well and the killing will look very realistic. "SEIZE YOUR GLORY!" sorry about that, I got a little carried away. This is the thing I really want to see in this film, Warrior quotes that are said before battle. Like the one from the trailer, "we chose to DIE ON OUR FEET rather than LIVE ON OUR KNEES!" he says as he jumps off of the ridiculously high cliff to stick a sword in the mans head! I really like the badass trailer music, I don't know what it is but it gets me PUMPED! I'm really looking forward to this film but I would say, if its not your thing, Its not your thing. 

CAPTAIN AMERICA: The winter soldier!

Bear with me here, I'm not a marvel fan and I could easily tell you everything why I will hate this film because of my bias. But, i will try not to. I will preview this film as fairly as possible. This film will feature two fellow avengers Black widow and Falcon. It will tell the story of the winter soldier, who, like cap. was a science experiment to make a Stronger, Faster and all around Better military soldier. His arm had to be removed and replaced with an prosthetic arm. In the comics, he has a brief relationship with Black widow so I think that will happen. 
He is technically a good guy as he works for S.H.E.L.D on covert missions but has a personal vendetta against the cap. You'll find out why. This film will feature in depth action scenes making use of every ability that cap and the winter soldier have. We will see more MODERN DAY uses of captain america. And this is why I remain optimistic about this film. We all know how marvel do there box office hits, High budget really cool, really high sequenced films jam packed with action, humor and badassery. There's a cool conversation between Nick Fury and Cap where Fury says "It looks like you're the one giving the orders now" and cap flicks up his shield and replies "DAMN RIGHT!" Captain america 2 is set to release in the UK later this month.

ARROW PREVIEW

"The Promise" is the being called the turning point of season two by many of the producers and cast of the show. Obviously because Slade Wilson has made his return to Starling City. That handshake at the end of last weeks episode was so powerful and Oliver's facial expression said it all. This episode will feature a lot of flashbacks to the time on the island and will feature some huge fights, Stunts and production. Marc Guggenheim is one of the producers for arrow and he said, and I quote, "it makes the last season finale look like a student film." I nearly exploded when I read that. My favourite character on Arrow right now is Slade I love everything about the way he acts, the looks he gives and the things he says. He was the perfect choice of actor for Deathstroke. *SPOILER ALERT* Roy picks up a bow and arrow! is he finally becoming red arrow!?!?!? I hope so. Dammit I hope so! 
We will see Slade put the Deathstroke mask back on in a flashback and will Slade find out the truth about how Shado died? If he does, what would he do to Oliver? So many questions!!!! This episode has the potential to be the greatest episode of a live action TV show we have ever seen. S.H.I.E.L.D who?! This episode is NOT the season finale so do not worry we have a fair few weeks of arrow left this TV season as the scheduled finale date is Wednesday May 14, 2014. If this is the best episode they have ever done, what does the rest of the season have instore for us?! I cant wait to find out! 

The FLASH TV show

FLASH..........AAHAAAAA!........ DC have released an actual, real photo of Grant Gustin as The Flash and he looks FREEAAAKING AWESOME!
 To be honest im not sure if I need to say anything about this. The picture speaks for itself. They could've made it look so stupid because its easy to fail when trying to make the flash look cool. And I will admit I wasn't the most optimistic person about the costume. I knew it wouldn't look too bad but I didn't know they were going to make THE BEST FLASH COSTUME I COULD'VE IMAGINED!!!! We saw from the two episodes of arrow and his time on glee (I watched it because i found out he would be flash. Don't jude!) that Grant can clearly portray Barry Allen's awkward personality and the Flash's charisma. The pilot is supposed to start filming soon and if it goes well The Flash will get the green light. What do ya think? are you as excited as I am? Tell me by commenting below!
