The cable outlet, part of Time Warner’s Turner, plans to
introduce a new version of the popular animated series, which debuted in
2006 and chronicled the adventures of Ben Tennyson, a ten-year-old boy
who discovers an alien device known as the Omnitrix that gives him the
power to change into various aliens. Cartoon Network Studios will
produce the new series, which will debut on Cartoon Network
international channels in the fall of 2016 and in North America in 2017.

I have lived through many of Batman’s incarnations, and I have
accepted that the changes in his outfits over the ages are a reflection of the
era that Batman is living in at the time.
However, I was shocked by the outfit that Ben Affleck is
going to wear for his role as Batman in Batman v Superman. From the neck up the outfit looks good, but
from below the neck it is awful. It just clashes with my aesthetic senses.
During the mid 60s series of Batman Adam West wore the
classic two tome blue and yellow signature outfit that appeared a little too
stretchy and the outfit reminded me of pajamas. However, Adam West’s costume was
acceptable and in keeping with the comic book.
When Michael Keaton and Christopher Bale wore their latex
padded black on black outfit with taller ears and sharper edges everywhere to
accent muscles and abs that did not exist, they looked very savage and macho, and such major changes in their costumes were
easily accepted and reflective of the darkest growing within the characters and
the city of Gotham.
Now in the 2016 film of Batman, Ben Affleck is going to wear
an outfit that not only looks like dingy potato sacks weaved into pajamas but looks
as if it has been weaved together by a bad weaver. In
addition, it looks itchy. Come on! This new look is terrible. Bruce Wayne is a
billionaire. Surely he can afford a better outfit than his nighties. Grant it, the
outfit does look more pliable for fight scenes than the outfits of the past
three decades, but must all that stitch work be so prominent.
I am sorry. I strongly dislike the outfit, and I think the
people at Marvel could do better.
What are your
thoughts? Should Marvel ditch it and start again?
Today director Zack Snyder tweeted the first official photo of
Jason Momoa as Aquaman (The tweet: There is only one true King. #unitetheseven). What “Unite The Seven” means is unknown at
this time. Perhaps is signifies the seven best members of the Justice League.If so, the inclusion of Aquaman is a surprise
as this DC Comics character does not have a very good on-screen history. Or the
words are a reference to Aquaman’s rule
over the seven seas. If this is the
case, it would be interesting to see an Aquaman movie that is independent of
the other Justice League members and dealt solely with other underwater dwellers
and aqua-villains endangering Aquaman’s rule.
True, Momoa looks awesome and dangerous as the hero of the
seas, but will the initial story be strong enough to draw and hold movie goers who
would want to see sequels. A possible way that this 2018 film can become a hit
is that Aquaman becomes just as ruthless in saving his underwater kingdom as
Superman had to become in the 2013 hit movie ‘Man of Steel’.
Aquaman, also known
as Arthur
Curry and Orin, is
a superhero and the ruler of the seas. As the king of Atlantis and
other undersea territories, he technically controls most of the planet. His
abilities include super-strength, durability, super-speed, staying underwater
indefinitely, and telepathy, which he uses to communicate with sea-life. His
aquatic nature means he requires water regularly at the risk of dehydration,
although he is perfectly capable of staying on land for extended periods. The
Aquaman
Family also includes his wife Mera and his side-kicks Aqualad and Aquagirl, along
with a number of others, fighting together against villains.
He is also a founding member of the Justice
League of America. Arthur Joseph Curry was his
successor after the original died, and had his own adventures for several
years, until Orin was resurrected during Blackest
Night and reclaimed his title. Aquaman
was created by Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris,
first appearing in More
Fun Comics #73. (1941)
As stated above Aquaman is scheduled for release in 2018.
